Chibitronics and Winnie and Walter Co-hop

Good morning! Excited today to be part of a fun co-hop with Winnie and Walter and Chibitronics! You are going to find loads of inspiration, and there are two great prizes up for grabs too! You should have arrived here from Gayatri Murali - if you just happened along, make sure and start at the Chibitronics Blog or W&W blog so you don't miss a stop. You can find a complete list of the blog hop line-up at the bottom of this post as well.


Here is the card I made for the hop - these light-up cards are notoriously difficult to photograph! I had fun combining different Winnie and Walter products with my Chibi Lights LED Circuit Starter Kit!


And here it is lit up - you may notice the outside houses have a white light, and the inside one has yellow lights? Yeah...that's what happens when you peel the stickers off to soon and stick them in the wrong place. They do lose their stickiness and ability to get a good connection. So my advice is to read the directions all the way through before you stick them down! Haha - oops! My daughters just said the outside houses have LED lights and the middle doesn't! :)


I used My Town for my row of houses, stamped in Catherine Pooler inks in the colors of Aquatini, Party Dress, and Lime Rickey. Isn't it a bright and happy color combo? I used a tiny hole punch to punch holes in the windows so the light would shine through. Then after building the circuit to fit behind the windows, it allowed the light through better.


I added some details to the sky with the same stamp set, added a sentiment from Party On with Evelin T Designs, and then die cut the panel on the front with Essentials: Katharine Cutaways. I also die cut the tiny tag from that set, then just hand wrote on the "press here" so that whoever got it would see it was an interactive card!


Your next stop along the hop is Jessica Lin - make sure and head that way next to see what she has in store for you!

GIVEAWAY INFO:
There are two gift certificates up for grabs today - one for $30 to the Winnie and Walter Store, and one for $30 to the Chibitronics Store. Make sure and leave comments along the hop for your chance to win! Comments must be left by 11:59 PM CST on Tuesday 5-28-18.

Here is the entire blog hop line-up in case you get lost along the way:

Light Up Reindeer - NEW SSS Card Kit - Merry and Bright!

Good morning! Super excited to stop by this morning to share a super fun card with the brand new Simon Says Stamp Card Kit for December - Merry and Bright! I posted a sneak peek of this cute little reindeer in Instagram last week, and said he had a little secret...wanna know what it is?



SUPER hard to get a picture of it - but his nose lights up when you press on the little heart! Eeeek! SOOOO incredibly fun! Yep, this month's card kit has a Chibitronics Intro to Lights kit, so you can test out making your cards shine!



I checked out their website, and found some great info there, but then found THIS video on Youtube that helped me out a lot on figuring out how to use them. I thought about putting a video together, and might still do that down the road, but really didn't have time before posting this card anyway.



I started off by using some of the pattern paper included in the kit to do a fun fold, since it is double sided paper. I folded in two corners, then trimmed it to fit my card front. The images and sentiment were stamped on watercolor, cut with Stitched Ovals dies, then painted in with watercolors, and some Stickles applied over the heart, nose, antlers, and necklace.



I put together the light portion of the card, adhered the oval over the front, then added some jute twine and finished off with a few sparkling clear Pretty Pink Posh sequins.


Here's a look at this entire kit:
