Hi, crafty friends!
This is Eiko. I crafted for the first time in a long time. I make light up mug card using Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.
When you pull the spoon, the lamp glows.
I will make the parts referring to the picture below.
- Die cut red sprinkle’n shine paper, 2mm thick foam sheet and double-sided adhesive sheet with mug frame die.
- Die cut cream sprinkle’n shine paper, red sprinkle’n shine paper, white cardstock and clear acetate with stitched mug die.
- Die cut chili pepper cardstock with small wavy banner die, stamp the sentiment and embossed with platinum embossing powder.
- Die cut silver foil paper and clear acetate with spoon die.
- Die cut three white cardstock with spoon die and cut for the switch parts.
- Stamp the bears, lamp, book and stack of books, onto white cardstock. Color the parts with Copic markers and die cut with coordinating die.
- Cut the inside of the lamp part and put vellum paper on the back side.
Place the parts on the mug part, make a hole at the center of the lamp.

Slide the spoon part 3/8 inch to mark it again.
