Merry and Bright Mice

This new collaboration set from Lawn Fawn, "Merry Mice" is so adorable (find it here, affiliate link used at no extra cost to you)!  I used Copic markers to color the stamped images.  Then I cut out the images with the matching dies.  The patterned paper is also from Lawn Fawn, "Merry and Bright".  The star patterned star was die cut with Lawn Fawn's "Puffy Star Dies".This stamp set works so well with Chibitronics.

I built a simple push tab circuit to light up the star.

I love Lawn Fawn's happy little critter images.

Heffy Doodle and Chibitronics

Hello!  Very fun card today for the collaboration of Chibitronics with Heffy Doodle.  

I love the adorable Narwhal from the Heffy Doodle "Oceans of Love" stamp set.

I started out with a 4.25"X 5.5" piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock.  I stamped the starfish and bubbles with copic friendly ink.  I colored the images in and coated them with clear and blue sparkle Nuvo drops. But before adding the Nuvo drops I poked holes in the starfish for Chibi lights to shine through. I set it aside to dry.  I then colored the little Narwhal on a seperate piece of cardstock and fussy cut him.  

When the Nuvo drops dried I blended Distress oxide inks to create the background.  I first blended a light blue over the entire background then blended a medium blue and purple through the "Bubbles Waves Stencil".

I cut the background down to 3.75" X 5".  On a blue piece of cardstock (4" X 5.25") I mapped out the Chibitronic circuit.

I used a simple circuit.  When the flap on top of the battery is pressed down the copper tape connects with the battery and completes the positve circuit powering the LEDs.  I adherred the front to the ciruit using foam tape.  To finish the card off I added clear droplet embelishments and the heat embossed sentiment.  Heffy Doodles "Interactively Yours" stamp set is perfect to use with Chibitronics and its what I used to stamp "press here". 

This was such a fun collaboration!

Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn Card Kit

Welcome to my post featuring the Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn Kit.  I think it is so wonderful that Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn have gotten together to design a card kit. Eiko from the Chibitronics Design Team has extremely clever cards, she helped design the kit.

You can find the kit here (affiliate link used at no extra charge to you).

For my card I used the papers from the kit and the circuit design.  I used two Lawn Fawn stamp sets; "Oh Gnome" and "Charge Me Up for Chibitronics".  

I started out by painting a galaxy sky on water color paper.  I went with a pastel palette, "Pastel Dreams" from Prima.  When the sky was dry I used "Large Cross-Stitched Circle Stackables" dies from Lawn Fawn to die cut the circle.  I also diecut the little heart and taped a piece of colored velum behind it.  I stamped and watercolored the gnomes and the lantern and fussy cut the images.  I adhered the pieces of the card front together on a piece of patterned paper included in the kit.  I did mark on the pattern paper first where the lights were to shine through and used a craft pick to punch the small holes.  

I made the circuit using the plan Eiko designed for the kit.

I adhered the card front to the circuit using some foam tape so there is some clearance for the battery switch.

This kit is adorable and anyone you gift a special Chibitronics card too will be wowed.

I hope you are enjoying seeing the many ways this kit can be used.

Winnie and Walter and Chibitronics

Welcome to my blog post for the Winnie and Walter and Chibitronic Blog Hop.  I'm happy to be part of the hop as a member of the Chibitronic team.  

As the temperatures climb here it is refreshing to work on a winter themed card.  I love the cute critters in the stamp sets designed By Evelin T. For Winnie and Walter, for my card I used "Season's Tweetings with Evelin T. Designs".

When the recipient pulls the tab they see a sentiment and the lights turn.  I used an effects sticker in my circuit so the lights blink on and off.

To help me build my circuit using an effects sticker I refer to the instructions found here.

The arrow on the top of my card reminds me where to line the circuit up when adherring it to the card front.  I cut a slit in the circuit for my slider, the slider has copper tape on it that when pulled completes the circuit and the LED's light up.

For my card front I stamped the igloo and penguin on a piece of card stock.  I stamped the penguin first masked it then stamped the igloo.  I colored the images with pencil crayons (colored pencils) then fussy cut the image.  the background was made by cutting a piece of masking paper to look like a snow bank then adhering it to a piece of card stock.  I ink blended a couple shade of distress ink for the night sky.  Keeping the mask in place I used the Winnie and Walter Stencil "Big Bang Sci-Fi Star Creative Screenings"  to apply glitter paste.  Once the paste was dry I adhered the igloo to the card.  I used a piercing tool to poke holes in three of the lights on the igloo for the LED's to shine through.  Once my card was all put together I added glossy accents on top of the lights to finish it off.

Stamping For Autism Awareness Blog Hop

Hello.  Today is World Autism Awareness day and I'm honored to be part of the "Stamping For Autism Awareness Blog Hop".  The Chibitronic team is lighting up our cards with blue in recognition of those living with Autism.  As well as Chibitronic products  I used My Favorite Things stamps, die and a stencil to create my card.

As you can see from the above photo of my circuit I used three blue Chibitronic LEDs to make the shaker star glow.  When the tab is pulled the circuit is completed and the Chibi lights turn on.

Please see the Chibitronics Blog for more details of the blog hop and to win a prize.  

Thank you for stopping by.

Chibitronics and My Favorite Things Blog Hop

Hello, welcome to my blog as part of the Chibitronics and My Favorite Things Blog Hop!

 I listed some of my supplies at the end of my post.  For my card I did some coloring with pencil crayons, my coloring was inspired by a Kit and Clowder Pencil Colouring class I took a few months ago.  to make my background I diecut smooth bristol cardstock with the MFT die.  I then blended two shades of Distress Ink.  I used a baby wipe and the MFT stencil to create the radiating rays.  I used the baby wipe to remove the ink through the stencil.  I then colored the super girl with my pencils.  I diecut the girl and diecut a piece of fun foam with the MFT die that coordinates with the stamp set.  I wanted to give the girl some dimension .  The sentiments are all embossed using white embossing powder.  Below is a picture of the circuit I made to light up my card with white Chibi lights.  When the slider is pulled the circuit is completed and the lights turn on.

My cards circuit behind the cardfront adherred with a double layer of foam tape.

My team mate, Eiko, has an excellent post here in which she shares a video on how to create a pull tab light up card.

Honey Bee Stamps and Chibitronics World Card Making Day Blog Hop

Hi!  Welcome to my stop on the Honey Bee Stamps and Chibitronics World Card Making Day Blog Hop.  Honeybee is giving a $25 gift certificate drawn randomly from comments left across all blogs and Chibitronics is giving away a starter kit. Comments will close at 11:59 ET on Sunday, October 8th and the winners will be announced next week.  

I used Honey Bee stamps Spring Honey Buddies and Happy Everything on my card.

I stamped the adorable bunny and camera using some masking so it looks like the bunny is holding the camera.  I than water colored the bunny using Distress Inks.  I built the Chibitronic circuit so the camera and hearts light up.  I added a clear Honey Bee Dew Drop to look like the camer lens.

I made the Chibi light circuit on a small piece of paper that I adhered behind the focal point of my card using foam tape.  To light up the card the recipient presses on the heart outline image.

Thank you for stopping by.  Your next stop on the hop is the creative Lesley Oman.

Chibitronics and CAS-ual Fridays Blog Hop

Hello, today is the first day of the collaborative blog hop for CAS-ual Fridasy and Chibitronics. If you are hopping along you should have arrived here from Nora Noll's blog. The pretty snowflakes and sentiment from CAS-Friday and lights from Chibitronics make a fun winter card.    To make my card I started by colouring translucent Yupo paper with alcohol inks.  I stamped the snowflakes from CAS-ual Friday's stamp set "Bring on the Snowflakes" with black ink on white card stock that was not heavy weight as I wanted the lights to shine through it brightly.    I placed a piece of paper on top of the stamped snowflakes and marked where I wanted to place my lights.  Then I built my circuit.

 

I adhered the Yupo paper on top of the stamped snowflake card stock to create the card front. I adhered the paper with the circuit to a card then adhered the card front to the circuit with two layers of foam tape.  When the recipient presses on the sentiment the lights shine through the Yupo paper and show the snowflakes, it's a very cool effect.

Thank you for stopping by I hope you enjoyed the Chibitronic and CAS-ual Friday's collaboration, please click here to go to the Chibitronics blog and the next stop on the hop.

You Lift Me Up

Hello!  Sharing my card for the My Favorite Things 2017 Card Design Superstar Challenge.

 

I created this card for the Innovation Master category.

 I made a light up shaker card using My Favorite Things stamps and Dies and Chibitronics lights.  When the recipient pulls out the tab the card lights up.

I made a background by applying Distress ink and Distress Oxide Ink on Bristol paper.  I blended the sky to look like a sunrise.  For the stamped images I colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out.  I stamped the balloon on the background so the strings would be there and adhered the fussy cut pieces on top of the stamped image.  I added some Wink of Stella to the balloon.  I diecut the frame six times and adhered the layers together to build a shaker window.

  I built my Chibitronic circuit on a piece of card stock placing the light where I wanted the sun to be.I diecut a circle out of fun foam and adhered it around the Chibi light so that the light would only shine within the area of the circle.

Very fun card to make.  Thank you for stopping by.

Chibitronics with Studio Katia

Hello here today with a card I made using Chibitronics and Studio Katia products.

 I used the Mandala stamp from Studio Katia, so many ways this image can be colored. I stamped and embossed the mandala on watercolor card stock.  I colored using watercolor crayons and around the mandala with Dr. PH Martins watercolor.

The circuit for this card was simple.   I used a craft pick to poke holes in the mandala where I wanted the lights.   For my light circuit I cut a piece of card stock slightly smaller then my card front.  Then I used a pencil and marked through the holes on the front to the card stock where I wanted to place the lights.  I used a ruler to draw lines to plan placement of the copper tape on the card stock.

My three year old daughter enjoyed watching me make this card and helped test the lights before I adhered the water colored front.

I used three layers of foam tape to adhere the front of the card to ensure lots of clearance from the circuit and battery. Assembling the card this way helps the battery last longer as the recipient has to firmly press the card to complete the circuit and light up the Chibi Lights.

For some embelishment I added Wink of Stella to the circle in the center of the mandala and coated it with glossy accents.  I also added score lines around the front piece to frame it and sequins and crystals from Studio Katia.  The pink Chibi lights look beautiful in this card!  Please go to the Chibitronics Blog to see more fun Chibitronic projects.
Thank you for stopping by.
