How to make light up fireworks card.

Hi, crafty friends! Happy 4th of July!

This is Eiko. Today I make light up fireworks card using Chibitronics LED stickers and Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

When you pull the tab, the fireworks shine.

I will make the parts referring to the picture below.

  • 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches folded white cardstock.
  • 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches light blue pattern paper.
  • Color 4 x 5 1/8 inches watercolor paper with two distressed inks and splash gold and silver pigments.
  • 4 x 5 1/8 inches white cardstock for circuit card base.
  • Die cut white cardstock with pull tab and sleeve dies and color with two distress inks.
  • Color white watercolor paper with two distressed inks, foil stamp using fireworks hot foil plate and die cut.
  • Stamp the sentiment on the colored watercolor cardstock and heat emboss with white embossing powder. And die cut the sentiment banner die.
  • Three dew drops.
  • Stamp coaster, booth, fox, bunny, bear, flags and cars on white cardstock and color with Copic markers. Then die cut with the coordinating dies.
  • Die cut green cardstock with grassy die.

Assemble the cover panel.

Make a slit in the circuit card base using this picture as a reference.

  • Put the cover panel on white cardstock and mark the LEDs with a pencil.
  • Mark the position of the battery.
  • Draw the circuit with a pencil.
  • I colored the positive side red and the negative side blue.
  • Apply the double-sided tape on the battery place.
  • Stick the conductive fabric tape on the pre-drawn path.
  • At the battery place, peel off the release paper, stick the negative side fabric tape, fold it back and cut it.
  • Stick the positive side fabric tape.
  • At the position of the battery leave the positive side fabric tape about 1 inch and cut it.
  • Place the battery on the fabric tape with positive side facing up and stick the positive side fabric tape on the battery.

Make the pull tab. Fold the pull tab along the crease.

  • Insert the flap into the slit and place the switch at the top end of the slit.
  • Mark the position of the fabric tape.
  • Remove the switch part from the slit and stick the fabric tape on the mark.
  • Fold the flap along the crease.
  • Put the wrap part on the pull tab part.
  • Put the foam tape around the entire edge of the circuit card base.
  • Stick the cover panel on the circuit card base.
