Fairy Friends with Chibitronic LED Stickers

 Hi Everyone,

For today's card I have used a stamp set from CC Designs and LED Stickers from Chibitronics.

For this card I have used the new 'Craft with light kit'.  It makes craft with Chibitronics so much easier as everything you need is in one pack.

Ingredients

Stamp Set:  Fairy Friends

Medium:  Copic Markers

(Skin:  E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R20

Hair:  E47, E44, E43

Clothes:  BV04, BV13, BV02, BG49, BG15, BG13, BG32

Wings:  BG15, BG13, BG32)

Sentiment:  Included in stamp set

Electronics:  Craft with Light kit from Chibitronics

Card Stock:  X-Press It Blending Card, Smooth white card

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.

2. Battery Holder

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.

The card used is 300gsm smooth white 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 image have been adhered using foam tape.

6. Let's light this card up!

This circuit uses a 2016 battery to power this card.

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

Melissa
