Hi Everyone,
For today's card I have used LED Stickers and Conductive Fabric Tape from Chibitronics to light up this card.
The image I have used is from Sweet November Stamps.
Ingredients
Stamp Set: Bling-a-ling Elf
Medium: Copic Markers
Sentiment: MIC Chipboard (Discontinued)
Electronics: LED Stickers & Conductive Fabric Tape
Card Stock: X-Press It Blending Card
Other: Liquid Sparkle, White Pen, Glossy Accents, Clear Microbeads
I like to use the Fabric Conductive Tape as I find it easier to use and it is less fragile.
1. Create card front
The create this card front, I have printed the image onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured with Copic Markers.
2. Create Base and Circuit
I like the batteries to be replaceable, so I have created a sliding holder for the battery so it can be changed easily.
For this circuit I have used the Chibitronics Fabric Conductive tape and a 2016 battery. To Light this card up, you will press the battery compartment.
3. Time to light up the card
I hope you have found this tutorial useful. if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
Until next time

Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to share my card with you today.
I was asked by Michelle Lupton to take part in her 'Case me a Christmas Card' this year.
CASE can either stand for 'Copy and Share Everything' or 'Copy and Selectively Edit'. The aim is to take inspiration from any card Michelle has made and make it into a Christmas Card.
I feel very honoured to have been asked to take part. Thank you Michelle xx
This are the card I have created:
I have followed Michelle for many years now and what first drew me to her blog & instagram was her rainbow alcohol ink cards. So for my card, I am casing one of these cards.
This is the card I have cased:
Michelle has cased one of my cards. It can be found here.
A huge thank you again to Michelle for asking me to join her event. I really enjoyed this experience.
CASEing cards is a great way to craft if you need a little creative nudge, however, just remember to give credit to the designer.
Until next time
Melissa
