Hello! My name is
Karin Åkesdotter and I am thrilled to be here today to share some fun Halloween projects I’ve made with the cool and fun new
Halloween collection by Becca Feeken from Spellbinders.
Halloween Paper Lantern
I will start by showing my favorite - a little paper lantern I created from mixing the dies from
S3-405 Spooky Boo,
S4-1071 Spooky Cottage with the awesome
S6-153 Charming Cottage Box die which is a Christmas set from last year.

I started by die-cutting the box from light gray cardstock that I inked using a brick stencil. I then die-cut the doors and windows and inked with brown, gray or black distress ink before I adhered them to my box. With a battery driven plastic light inside this becomes a spooky but beautiful lantern.
