Lighted Box Ornaments

Hello crafting friends!  Today's crafty share are these darling box ornaments.
 
 
You may recall that I've made several of these in past posts.  They're so fun to make and you don't need any special supplies to make them. 
I used a Spellbinders Label die to make the front and back of the box, cutting the center using an oval die.  I simply covered the inside and front of the box with patterned papers
 

and filled them with printed die cuts from Pretty Little Studio.  I also added some die cuts from Prima Marketing Candy Cane Lane collection.
 
 
This year, to spice them up, I added some fairy lights to the inside of the ornaments by punching a hole in the back of the ornament and adhering the power button onto the back side of the ornaments.  
 
These went to my two little sweeties so they could hang them on their Christmas trees.
 
This little elf went to this little elf
 
Our sweet Mr. "C" turned two years old in September. 
 


and this jolly old fella with pink candy canes went to our Sweet "P".
She just turned two this month.  Hubby and I flew out to celebrate her special day.
 
Oh how I love being a Mimi to them!  
 I hope you enjoyed today's project. 
I'll be entering one of these into the following challenges:
Christmas Kickstart Challenge ~ If It's Christmassy, Link It Up!
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Birgit, your ornaments are absolutely precious and will be cherished forever and ever! These childhood things matter so much. The lights will make them really stand out on the tree. Speaking of beaming... those sweet, adorable faces of Mr. C and Sweet P steal the show! Those little pigtails on Sweet P -- ack -- so cute! And, are those Bean boots Mr. C is wearing? My heart is full now. Thank you!
