Product Description:

This Metal Craft die set includes a special and elegant Layering Pumpkin Panel Add-on for our new A7 Pumpkin Pop Up Card (sold separately), which folds completely flat in a standard A7 (5x7 inch) envelope for easy mailing. This die set includes everything you need to transform the pretty pumpkin pop up card base into a super cool lantern base, by allowing you to cut straight into the pumpkin base with the provided elegant intricate square pattern piece. There are larger pieces for the three center panels and skinnier pieces that you can use in the top and bottom of the pumpkin as well as on the provided pumpkin lid. You can cut some or all of the panels with these beautiful tiles. These tiles can also be used to add pattern paper on top of your lantern versus cutting into the lantern base. When cutting into the base, it is most beautiful to add either vellum or acetate to the back of the window to let the tea light shine through. We are also including three small Christmas icons that can be glued into the opening, which includes a tree, a gift package and a snowflake. It is very intricate and the more panels you cut out, the more light will show through the base when you add an electronic tea light to the bottom of the pumpkin. You can then further accentuate the top of the pumpkin with your favorite topper and or stamped or die cut image. The pumpkin pop up and toppers and/or stamped/die cut images are sold separately.  This is sure to be a super fun craft activity for you, your friends, and with kids and grandkids. It creates the coolest cards, treat boxes, school favors and home or party decor pieces. This set is designed to work best when used in conjunction with any of our “Christmas Party 2023” collection of stamps, dies and craft supplies, including all of our other especially designed add-ons for this card, that allow you to create treat boxes, home decor pieces and foldable cards with other cute Christmas and winter characters and lantern add ons. There is only one decision to make, which character(s) do you like the most and how do you want to dress them up or do you want to take your pumpkin into a more elegant direction by using one of more of our elegant lace die cuts and or pumpkin toppers. Please check out our complete “Christmas Party” collection and mix and match your favorite pieces.
