Hi Everyone,
For today's card I have used the new Red/Fade Animated LED Stickers from Chibitronics.
These stickers are so easy to use and have a great effect.
These lights are not available yet, but will be soon.
Stamp sets: It's a sign
Medium: Copic Markers
Background: Something Good Stamp Set, White Embossing Powder, Versafine Ink
Electronics: Chibitronics 'Craft with Light Kit'
Chibitronics Red/Fade Animated LED Sticker
Card Stock: X-Press It Blending Card, Cobalt Card, Acetate
Ink: TSM Black Ink, TSM Gravel Ink
Other: Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen, Shimmer Pen, Glossy Accents
Method
1. Create a Background and Colour Images
I have created the background on a white card using the stamp from Tracey Hey. I have stamped it in Versafine Ink and white heat embossed it. I then layered over a piece of acetate to make a see-thru card.
I have stamped the images onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured them with Copic Markers. I fussy cut them leaving a small white border.
I have stamped the image onto another piece of white card. This will help me place the LED Sticker where I would like it to go.
I have drawn the circuit in pencil first, just so I know exactly where the circuit will go.
3. Completing the Circuit
I have used the Chibitronics 'Craft with Light kit' as a basis as it holds all the pieces need, except the new animated LED Sticker.
Attach the card front to the base.
For this, I have used magnets so the circuit can be shown easily for display purposes, however you can use foam tape.
I then attached this circuit to the card base, I hid the adhesive on the back of the acetate with another piece of white card.
5. Let's light this card up!!
I have used the 2016 battery included in the kit.
Press the battery hold to light up the card (the 'press here' spot).
The positive will connect with the battery allowing the light to shine.
I hope I have inspired you to give a light up card a go.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
A full tutorial showing the making of this circuit is available on the Chibitronics YouTube Channel.
Until next time
