Magnolia Tilda Christimas 3D Tea Light Holder Decoration

Hello everyone!! I have lots of stamps from the Sweet Christmas Dream Collection from Magnolia-licious. Here is another project I made with some of these cute stamps. It's a Christmas tea light holder decoration. I form this box with four pieces of coasters. Punched holds with Bind It All, connected each piece with ribbons, then created the inside using Tilda with Cross Stitch Heart and Midwinter Tilda. The trees were cut out from the Doohickey Spruce Cutting Die. I painted some white texture on top to create some snow effect. The box for the candle folded using a 5" x 5" DP. Some of the pattern paper is from the Sweet Christmas Dream Paper Pack.

This is my finished project.

I am also using this project for the following challenges:

Closer view of these cute Tilda stamps

Here is a view shows you that I score a 5" x 1" inch DP at every 1". Fold all the score lines to form a square tube to sit Tilda on top.

Here are some closer views to show you some embellishments I added on this Christmas tea-light deco. I put a strip of "crepe paper", then I added a lace trim on top of the crepe paper.

A metal corner

Metal sentiment of the word "Christmas"

Here is the tea light, I wrapped some left over scrap from the DP.

Here are the views showing you when the tea light is on.
