How to make light up slider pop up card.

Hi, crafty friends!

This is Eiko. I make light up slider pop up card using Chibitronics Tim Holtz and Heffy Doodle dies.

When you pull up a panel to make the front section stand up, reveal a light up message inside.

I will make the parts referring to the picture below.

  • Die cut wallflower pattern paper with slider pop up die
  • 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches pattern paper
  • Die cut 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches pattern paper with bold text die and make a 2 1/2 inches long slit from 1/4 inch above the center of the card
  • 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches kraft cardstock make a 2 1/2 inches long slit from 1/4 inch above the center of the cardstock
  • Die cut distress kraft heavystock with pull panel die
  • Two 2 x 3 1/2 inches vellums
  • Die cut eggs and bunnies with bunny games dies
  • Switch parts (1/2 x 3 inches white cardstock, 1/2 x 1 inch white cardstock)
  • Put the cover panel on kraft cardstock and mark the lights with a pencil.
  • Mark the position of the Chibitronics and the battery.
  • Draw the circuit with a pencil.
  • Apply the double-sided tape on the battery place.

Stick the copper tape on the pre-drawn path.

  • At the battery place, peel off the release paper, stick the negative side copper tape, fold it back and cut it.
  • Stick the positive side copper tape.
  • At the position of the battery leave the positive side copper tape about 1 inch and cut it.
  • Place the battery on the copper tape with positive side facing up and stick the positive side copper tape on the battery.
  • Attach the red LED to the copper tape, over the outline.
  • Stick short copper tape on the edges of the LED to reinforce.

This time I painted the LED with a permanent marker. This will change the LED light to pale color.

Make a switch

  • Fold the 1/2 x 3 inch cardstock as shown to make a switch.
  • Insert the switch into the slit and place it at the top end of the slit.
  • Mark the position of the copper tape.
  • Remove the switch part from the slit and stick the copper tape on the mark.
  • Fold along the crease.

Stick the foam tape around the entire edge of the circuit card base.

  • Stick vellum paper on the back of the inner panel.
  • Stick the inner panel to the circuit card base.
  • Insert the switch into the slit.

Assemble the pop up mechanism

  • Stick the bottom edge of the pull panel and the bottom edge of the notch on the top panel.
  • Apply double-sided tape on the switch part.
  • Place the switch part at the bottom end of the slit.
  • Put the top panel on the inner panel and stick the switch part on the back side of the top panel.
  • Apply double-sided tape to both sides and the bottom edge of the inner panel, and attach the top panel and inner panel.
  • Stick the eggs, bunnies and sentiment on the top panel.
  • Re-insert the switch part into the slit.
  • Stick the 1/2 x 1 inch cardstock on the back side of the switch part.

Stick the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches pattern paper on the back side of the card base.

I finished it!
