Hanging Ornament Boxes

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here with you today...sharing two fun Christmas ornaments.
I have used both the
Snowflake Mittens Hanging Ornament Box,
and the Christmas Star Hanging Ornament Box. 

We'll begin with the cute Mittens one:

Isn't that cute? 

The photo below shows all the cut pieces.

It's such a cool design, and really easy to put together.

You begin by adhering the sides and the bottom of the box.

Then you adhere the red mittens to the insert piece,

and then adhere the mitten cuffs in place on the red mittens.

Next, you slide the insert into the box, and slip the sides into the slots.

It's almost finished already!

Now all you have to do is adhere the top flaps in place, over the loops.

I really like how the insert sides poke out of the box sides.

I used the red snowflakes that were cut out of the mittens

as extra embellishments on the box.

Here's the back of the ornament.

It looks exactly like the front!

Now here's the Christmas Star Ornament:

I went a different way with the paper choices on this one.
I thought the star paper, and the shade of green would work perfectly with the fabulous new
Acanthus Teal Gilding Powder.

This Ornament Box is put together the same way as the last one.

It has a star layer, which I heat embossed in Acanthus Teal,

before adhering it in place on the insert.

The lovely embossing turns this into a very elegant Christmas Star Ornament Box!

I hope you got some good ideas for how to use these fun files for yourself!

See you again soon! :o)

Christmas Star Hanging Ornament Box

Hello everybody!

Christmas is approaching rapidly and you all are probably already busy with preparations. I am so in love with the hanging ornament boxes because you can use them for decoration on the Christmas tree or in a window. But you can also give them to friends as a little present.

There are many different ornaments you can choose from, I went for the 

CHRISTMAS STAR HANGING ORNAMENT BOX.

On the mat

all cut

To add some extra glimmer to the star I decided on gilding it. I chose 

BURNISHED SILVER

and

ACANTHUS TEAL.

Isn´t it amazing how the Gilding Powders add this unique shimmering look to the project? 

When all is done it´s time to assemble the box. You can find a video tutorial here.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a great day!
