Hi, crafty friends!
This is Eiko and I make light up popping out toast card using Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
When you pull the tab, the message pops out of the typewriter and the lamp glows.
I will make the parts referring to the picture below.
- 4 1/4 x 11 inches chili pepper cardstock.
- 3 3/4 x 5 inches pattern paper and white cardstock. Die cut these papers using notch and straight slit dies.
