I changed it just a tad bit to show you how versatile this design can be:

After selecting your colors that you want to work with and your card stock. I used "Cranberry Crisp card stock and ink. I stamped my flowers from the {ippity} stamp set "Angie Girl: Dream with your heart." Instead of using card stock for my side panel, I use a piece of scrap ribbon.

Stamp the image of your choice, then if you have a big circle punch, punch it out or you can use any die-cutting system. After you have your circle run your piece through a crimper. For the top and bottom of my lantern I have used Stampin' Up's "Word Window" punch, if you don't have one, you can make rectangles then round out the ends with scissors, or leave it rectangle. After your soon to be lantern is crimped, distress the edges, and I like to do real light on top so the crimped lines show. Then glue on your top and bottom pieces. For the top I used a piece of SU twine. I like to use a piece of tape to hold it down, so I know it is secure. Then add your pop dots. Place your Chinese Lantern off to the right a bit, then add a sentiment of choice. I changed it up, and used a SU stamp that reads: "Very Best Friends Always" with a matching punch.

Here is a picture of the inside, If I use a dark card stock for my card base I always line it with SU's "Top Note" die cut, so I can write and have it show up. Plus I really like the looks of it.
