Halloween Stinging Jack's Lantern




 Congratulations to Dreaming Tree website with your official site launch!  Leo Kowal is the owner of Dreaming Tree: formally affiliated with Svgcuts.  Check out his new digital file site for some great svg 3d designs! www.3dsvg.com  Right now Leo is giving away a new cutting machine plus gift cards.  So sign up for a chance to win.  Be sure to sign up for the news letter and grab your free files.  

  The file above is Stinging Jack's Lantern from the Dreaming Tree store.   This design was EASY to make and I love the finished product. Completed project is an estimated 7.5 inch high and wide in size.  Use it as a table top design or hanging Halloween design.  The concept of printing the panels on vellum is GENIUS!  The picture above is the lantern sitting on top of a box (orange/black) so you can see the bottom easier.   Below is a closeup of the design.

                                                                               

This lantern is very sturdy when finished, and should survive many Halloweens!

I also made the Stingy Jack’s Halloween Lantern III and very pleased with the finished project.  See pic below.

Tiffany Like Paper Lamp- Crafts



Mary at Svgcuts has done it again with this design file.  WONDERFUL!  Was it time consuming to make?  Yes.  It took me 3 days, but I could have done it quicker.  What takes so long is the coloring of the velum tiles 3 or more times.  I never could figure an easier way to color as you need some opaque when finished.


Above is my finished lamp turned on.  I love it!  Inside the base is a 9" candle lamp. (electric)  I was surprised how few sheets of cardstock was needed.  Base: 2 sheets  Lampshade frame : 3 sheets  Lampshade tiles: 4 sheets vellum.  Glue.   This is from memory, so check your design before cutting it for supplies.  

I will be adding more files on my Etsy store site, so stop by and shop!  Scrapcuts by Judy
