Hi Everyone,
For today's card I have used LED Stickers and Fabric tape from Chibitronics to light up the balloon from Tracey Hey stamps.
Ingredients
Stamp Set: Sweet Stems
Medium: Copic Markers
Sentiment: Included in stamp set
Electronics: Chibitronics White LED Stickers, Chibitronics Fabric Tape & 2025 Battery
Background: Distress Ink (Salty Ocean)
Card Stock: X-Press It Blending Card
Ink: MFT Extreme Black Ink
Other: White Gelly Roll 08 Pen, Shimmer 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 Ink.
This card will measure 14 x 9cm 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 light 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'.
Hi Everyone,
It's not long now until these adorable stamps go live on the Create and Craft Show.
I am so excited that my cards made it over the England in time for the show this time.
They will be available in store next week.
