Start by selecting the Fiskars Paper Gems Quartz template and your colorful cardstock. (I chose pretty pinks and yellows to coordinate with the flowers I was adding to the table, but you can select any color you like best.) Place the template on top of one sheet of cardstock. Using a pencil, trace around the perimeter of the template to outline your shape.
Score the template. Next, using the Fiskars® Paper Gems Stylus, score along the lines within the template. These will become your fold lines.
Cut out your traced shape along the pencil lines using scissors.
Fold the cardstock along the scored lines.
Apply adhesive along the tabs of the cardstock shape.
Bring the folded shape together and secure in place by pressing along the adhesive on the tabs.
To create the flower pot, cut away the final facet on the Quartz shape, to create an opening for your flowers to fit into.
Place a small glass votive inside the paper shape to hold the flower and any water if you are using fresh flowers.

Hold the Paper Gems Lantern Template on top of a sheet of cardstock. Using a pencil, trace around the perimeter and inside openings of the template.
Using the stylus, score along the lines within the template.
Cut out the shape along the pencil lines you marked using your scissors.
Using the Easy Change Detail Knife, cut out the side openings. This will allow light to shine through your template. For a different project, you could always leave these filled in and use the lantern template to create a taller vase or container to hold items.
Fold the cardstock along the scored lines to begin shaping your lantern.
Apply adhesive along the tabs of the cardstock shape.
Bring the folded shape together and secure in place by pressing along the adhesive on the tabs.
Add votive. Place a battery-operated tea light inside the lantern.
