Hi, crafty friends!

This is Eiko and I make light up snow globe tags using Chibitronics and Papertreyink‘s Tinsel & Tags Kit.

This kit is a very popular limited kit released in 2014.

If you could get it, try making a glowing tag!

When I pull the pull tab, the stars flash and the windows glow.

I will make the parts referring to the picture below.

  • Die cut a kraft cardstock with the scalloped circle die.
  • Die cut a 2mm thick kraft foam sheet with the scalloped circle and circle dies.
