Challenge me a Christmas Card with Michelle Lupton

Hi everyone! Once again I was asked by the lovely Michelle Lupton to join in on her annual Christmas Challenge. I had to challenge Michelle to create a card using a particular theme/colour/technique etc. 

I decided to 'make' Michelle create a light up card! You can find her's over on her blog - I can't wait to see it!

Here is my card - it was very simple to create this card. I used the dies for the scene to create windows that light up. I embossed the sentiment.

The sentiment, when pressed, activates the lights :)

This is a smaller sized card than I am used to making but I have not long purchased an envelope maker board thingo. which I will break out of the packaging for this card.

I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Everybody-Art-Challenge - Light Card

Thanks for popping in today and don't forget to visit Michelle!

Light up Christmas Cards

Hello! I hope you are all well? I've made a couple of fun Christmas Cards that I would like to share with you :)

Card 1

I ordered a couple of Paper Artsy Stamp sets and decided I wanted to use a couple of images from the Zinksy ZA19 set and create light up cards using my Chibitronics kits.

I coloured him with my Spectrum Noir markers which have been idle for quite some time! I had fun colouring again :)

Using my Chibitronics kit, I created my circuit so when the sentiment is pressed, his buttons would light up.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

CRAFT Challenge - Christmas

Through the Purple Haze - Make it CAS

The Holly and Ivy Challenge - Anything Goes

Card 2

This little fella was screaming to be lit up!

I created it so, once again, when the sentiment was pressed, the lights would activate. This time I wanted his antlers to light up.

I coloured him with Spectrum Noir sparkle pens.

Guest Designing at Less Is More!

Hi everyone! This is my second post today! I have been catching up with blogging some of the cards that I made at the HLS Craft Retreats :)

I have also been getting in some quality Nanna time with my new grandson, Benjamin. He is such a GOOD baby and I am really blessed to have him in my life :)

After the Manchester retreat earlier in November I was lucky enough to spend some time up in the Lakes District with Sarah and Anita from Less Is More. There was plenty of crafting going on! Poor Sarah's dining room look like a bomb had gone off but she was a good sport and let us raid her stash.

I have made a card for the new challenge over at Less Is More that is sponsored by Happy Little Stampers and I have the honour of Guest Designing.

Here is my card

This is a light up card and I'm sure you've been seeing a few of these around blogland throughout November! Creating a light up card by building your own circuits was one of the tutorials I gave at the craft retreats. You can check out my video tutorial below if you would like have a go yourself!

I borrowed stamps and supplies from Sarah's stash for this card. I cut out the star with a craft knife and adhered some vellum behind it. The light is yellow and shines beautifully when the sentiment is pressed.

Light Up Snow Friends

Hi there everyone. I am lucky to have my mum with me for a quick visit so we had a great day playing in the craft room yesterday. Mum wanted to learn how to create a light up card using the Chibitronics sets.

Mum ended up making 2 light up Christmas cards and one more standard Christmas Card. She had fun! I decided to create a light up card myself!

Sooo cute!!

Here are the products I used to create this card -

Interactive Ferris Wheel

Hi everyone. Today I have an interactive card using Chibitronic Light Circuits (they are available for purchase at Happy Little Stampers). My amazing teamie at Addicted to CAS, Barb Ghig, sent me an adorable Ferris Wheel stamp for my birthday. Well, teamie is a loose term... Barb practically runs ATCAS. I couldn't do it without her. She puts a lot of her time into the blog and I don't think she realises how grateful I am to her. Thank you Barb!!!

Here is my card

If you would like to see how to create a light up card using Chibitronics, check out my tutorial HERE. The sentiment is from the HLS Bold Birthday Sentiments (retired) and when you press it, that's when the light shines. I also used a little distress ink over my Ferris Wheel to add a little colour.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges -

Try it on Tuesday - Let it Shine (my lights shines)

Tuesday Throwdown - Black, White, and one other colour
