Balloon Ride with Chibitronic LED Stickers

 Hi Everyone,

For today's card I have used LED Stickers and Fabric tape from Chibitronics to light up the Hot Air Balloons from Paperie Ink.

Ingredients

Stamp Set:  Balloon Ride

Medium:  Copic Markers

Sentiment:  Included in stamp set

Electronics:  Chibitronics White LED Stickers, Chibitronics Fabric Tape & 2025 Battery

Background:  Distress Ink (Salty Ocean & Blue Print Sketch) Catherine Pooler Ink (Lime Rickety)

Card Stock:  X-Press It Blending Card

Ink:  MFT Extreme Black Ink

Other:  White Gelly Roll 08 Pen


Method

1. Background

Firstly, I stamped the images onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured them with Copic Markers.  I fussy cut around the images leaving a small white border.  

I also created the background using Distress and Catherine Pooler Ink

2. Battery Holder

This card will measure 9.5 x 20cm once complete.

I have used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the layers for the battery holder.  I glued 8 of these together.

I have glued them together using Liquid Glue from Bearly Arts.  If find this glue does not warp the card and makes it really strong.

I put plain card stock on the back of this card to finish this card.

3. Circuit

The circuit has been designed on the battery holder.

I have marked where the lights will go (from the card front).  I then mapped where I want the circuit to go in pencil.  this makes it easier for me to complete the circuit.


4.  Completing the Circuit

The Circuit has been complete using the Fabric Conductive Tape and LED Stickers.

This card works by pressing the 'press here'  The positive will connect with the battery, turning on the lights.


5. Adhere the card front

It is time to adhere the card front I prepared earlier to the battery compartment.

I have used double sided tape to do this.

The coloured images have been adhered using foam tape.


6. Let's light this card up!

This circuit uses a 2025 battery to power this card.

To light this card card up, press on the 'Press Here'.




I have created a YouTube Video showing how I put this card together.
It can be found here.


I hope I have inspired you to give Chibitronics LED Stickers a go.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.


Until next time
