Fa La La Friday Holiday Free Tutorial and Video-Peace to You Tealight Card

Hello and welcome to Fa La La Friday Holiday Projects! This is week 10 of 10 weeks, but that's not to say it's the last Christmas card I'll post before Christmas. You're going to love this card! As you can see from the picture above, it lights up when you put battery-powered tealights behind the panels. I'm going to include a lot of pictures in this post, but there is also an instructional video included. 

Update on my December Monthly Toolbox. December has sold out. Look for the January Toolbox around the first of January. Now, let's get started on this fabulous card.

This a look at the front of the card.

And here is the inside when you first open it. This is pretty as it is without adding the tealights.

And here is what it looks like when you pop the inside section forward so you can drop in a couple of tealights.

Apply VersaMark to the Quatrefoil Tile Embossing folder.  

Run a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Starry Sky cardstock through the Cut and Emboss Marching.

Sprinkle silver embossing powder on the Starry Sky piece and heat with a heat gun.

Adhere this piece to the front of a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Starry Sky cardstock folded in half.

Cut the centers of an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of Starry Sky cardstock folded in half. It is possible to cut both at the same time.

Adhere one of the frames cut from the inside piece to the card front.

Cut 2 of the Framed Florets dies from the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper. Save one of the centers for the card front.

Stamp the sentiment on Starry Sky cardstock in VersaMark and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Adhere over the center of the Splendid Day oval with dimensionals.

The inside piece is a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock scored at 1/4", 4 1/4", and 8 1/4".

On two 3 7/8" x 5" pieces of vellum cardstock, stamp the church and nativity scene from Peace to You in VersaMark and heat emboss with silver embossing powder.

Adhere these pieces behind the openings of the inside piece.

Adhere the frames cut from the Splendid Day designer series paper around both openings.

Apply Tear and Tape to the 1/4" end sections of the inside piece. Adhere this piece to the inside of the card front piece.

Stamp the sentiment on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White paper in Starry Sky and adhere to the back of the card.

Now you have completed your card. Separate the two sections and drop one or 2 battery-powered tealights inside. I prefer 2 to make it brighter.
