 Hi Everyone,

For today's card I have used a stamp set from Tracey Hey.

Happy Day

 Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing a card using Chibitronics LED Stickers and products.

This is my first blog post over on the Chibitronics Blog.

This card is super easy to make.

1. Create Card Front

Firstly I created the card front.  I have used a stamp set from Colorado Crafts called 'Happy Day' and coloured it with Copic Markers.

2. Circuit

I draw the circuit up on the base card so I know exactly where everything will go.

I will use the Chibitronics Conductive Fabric Tape to create the circuit.

3. Battery

Time to add the battery.  I have made a little holder for it so the battery can be changed easily when needed.

4.  Light

Time to stick down the Chibitronics White LED Sticker.

5. Battery Holder

This is just to show you how the battery can be slid in and out and changed easily.

6.  Finished Card

The card is finished.

I used foam tape to stick this card together.

7. Let's light it up!!!

To light this card up, simply press on the 'press here' spot.

Ingredients

Stamp Set:  Happy Day

Medium:  Copic Markers

Sentiment:  Included in stamp set

Lights & Circuit:  Chibitronics LED Stickers & Conductive Fabric Tape

Dies:  Mini Slim Stacklets

Card Stock:  X-Press It Blending Card, American Crafts

Ink:  Premium Black Ink

Other:  Liquid Sparkle

I hope you find this tutorial useful.

Until next time
