Here's what I've created for you...

Project #1

I first prepared my card base using the biggest die of the Picture Frame Dies by cutting out 2 pieces from brown card stock.  I scored 1 piece at the top half an inch away from the edge and attached to another piece to make my card base.  I then used the inner die of the Picture Frame Dies to cut out the windows from pink card stock.
I stamped and arranged Cheery Blossome flower and stem images from Flowers In Bloom stamp set onto white card stock and made sure that they were in good positons after I put the window frame on top.  I then colored all images with various copic markers and attached  it direcly to the window frame.
I also stamped individule Cheery Blossomes and leaves onto another white card stock, colored and fussy cut them out.  I shaped the flowers and leaves a little bit and attached them onto the main panel to give them 3 dimensions effect.


  Here's the closer look

I poped the main panel up with form tape and attached to another brown card stock that I cut from Fancy Frame Dies.  I then attached my panel onto another metalic pink card stock for layering and onto my card base.
I used the sentiment from Simply Said stamp set.  I stamped and heat embossed on the smallest window and popped it up with the form tape as well.


 Here is closeup look for the sentiment & double stitches

 Project # 2 

This project is very special to me... I turned the Picture Frame Die and made it into a Lantern.  I began to cut my picture frame die 4 times from black card stock but internal I used small scallop die from Fancy Fram Die to cut out the inside windows.  I also heat embossed with embossing powder all 4 panels using the Stars border from Across The Borders stamp set.

I then scored 3 sizes for all 4 panels about half an inch from the edge (leaving the top part unscored). I adhered all 4 panels together (using strong adhersive tape) except joining panel 1 and 4 together.  It's easier to work when all pieces are flated.  I cut the vellum paper and made sure that they were big enough to cover the window frames.  I then adhered them inside my 4 panels.

I also used vellum and cut out all 3 border dies from Outdoor Landscape Dies - the grass, the wave and the hill.  I colored the vellum from behind and cut them to fit the bottom of window frames.  I layered 2 set of each borders and cut at the bottom edge with the small scallop die from Fancy Frame Dies to make them perfect fit to each of the windows.

Finally I stamped my 3 images from Magical Wishes (Unicorn, Mermaid and Fairy) to white card stock.  I colored them all with various copic markers and fussy cut them out.  For sentiment, I heat embossed the sentiment on black card stock and cut around the edge leaving abit of black border.  I then adhered them at the center of each panel.

I also stamped and heat embossed couples of 2 clouds images from The Sky Is The Limit stamp set on vellum and fussy cut them out.  I decorated them to all my 4 panels.

I attached the 1st and 4th panel together using strong adhesive tape.  To make it standed properly I cut at the bottom of the scored lines until it reached the intersection of other scored lines for both left and right sides of all 4 panels.  I then adhered my panel to a square card stock leaving the cut corners loose for flexibility.

To finish up my project I sprinkled Pastel Paradise sequins and Fairy Dust sequins to accent each panels.  I love how it turned out.

 Here is how it looks with battery lights

Here are how it looks at each panel
 

I hope you like them and I wish you all a Wonderful Day!
