Open a new canvas in Cricut Design Space.

Click on Upload on the left hand side of the canvas.  Click on Upload Image.  Click on Browse and then then find the “PaperHouseClocheLantern-LifeisaParty.zip” file in your download files.  In Design Space, click on the file, then click on the first image to upload, and click Open. Next select Complex as your image type. And press Continue in the bottom right.  Now click on any areas of the image that you want to to remove, paying attention to the small cutouts in the house, and the snowflakes.  Use the “+” to zoom in to see it better if you need to.  When you’re finished click Apply & Continue on the lower right.  Next click on the Cut Image option, and then click on Upload in the lower right corner.  Now click Upload Image again, and do the same for the other images. Once all the images are uploaded, select them by clicking on all three, and then click on Add To Canvas in the lower right.

When you bring all three onto the canvas they will all be selected, so be sure to click somewhere else on your canvas to deselect them.  Now let’s scale them to fit the small cloche.  Select the house image.  At the top of the canvas look for the size menu.  With the dimensions locked, change the width to 6.5 inches, and press enter.

To adjust the trees size, select the image, and with the dimensions locked, change the width to 10 inches.

.To adjust the snowflakes, select the image and with the dimensions locked, change the width to 1.8 inches.

If you want to add lots of snowflakes to your cloche, select the snowflake image and click on Duplicate -it has a plus symbol, at the top of the layers menu, on the right side.

Make sure the color of the house and trees match, so that they will cut on the same mat, and make sure the color of the snowflake image is something different, so that it will cut out on a different mat.  Change the color at the top of the canvas on the left, beside the operation.

Click on Make It on the top right of the canvas.

Adjust your material size to 8.5 x 11 for the house and trees, or to whatever size cardstock you are using.

Set your materials to cardstock for intricate cuts, for the house and trees image, and to vinyl for the snowflakes.

Carefully remove your cardstock from the cutting mat and weed your vinyl snowflakes.

To assemble the cloche, use a little bit of tape or glue dots to create a small ring with the house image, large enough for the tea light to fit inside. Fit the trees image inside the cloche lid, with a small piece of tape.

Add fake snow to the cloche base and add the house and tea light, then place the cloche on top.

Finally, add the vinyl snowflakes to the outside of the cloche.
