How to make a light-up box card

Die cut the design of your choice. As mine is delicate I had to stick my die cut onto a card backing. As I have to cut holes for the lights to show.

Measurements for this card. I Cut a piece of card 10 3/4 inches by 11 1/4 inches. Cut round the outside and score and burnish all the inside lines.
