Chibitronics - Hap Bee

 Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing another light up card using the Chibitronics LED Stickers and Conductive Fabric Tape.

I always use the fabric tape as I find it easier to use, it is not as fragile.

For this card I have used a 'reed switch'. This works by using a magnet to open and close the on and off switch with in the 'reed'.

1. Create card front.

To create the card front, I have coloured the background using Distress Oxide Ink (Salty Ocean & Blueprint Sketch).

The images have been stamped onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured with Copic Markers.  They have been fussy cut leaving a small white border.

2. Create Base and Circuit

I have created a battery holder so the battery is replaceable.  It can't be seen in these pics up the battery will slide out so it can be changed.

For this circuit I have used a 'reed switch'.  One of the bees will have a magnet attached behind it and when hovered over the reed switch the LED lights will turn on.

For this card I have used a '2025' battery as it is a little thicker and I wanted permanent connection to the negative and positive terminals.

3. Time to light up the card

To light this card you move the bee from the bottom left corner over the right hand flower.  You can even leave the bee on the flower and the flowers will be permanent lit up until the bee is removed.
