Hi, crafty friends!
This is Eiko. Finally, our new animating LED is now available for sale! Chibitronics released three new animating LEDs. Gem-shaped blink type, Heart-shaped fade type, and Flower-shaped rainbow fade type. So today I make light up plumeria card using Chibitronics new animating LED and Altenew stamps and dies.

When you pull the tab, the flowers fade to rainbow colors.
I will make the parts referring to the picture below.

- Cut striped pattern paper to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.
- Cut two white cardstocks to 4 x 5 1/4 inches. And then die cut them with notch making die. Stamp the sentiment and pattern stamp on one of them.
- Stamp plumeria, leaves and bird on white cardstock and color with Copic markers. Then die cut with the coordinating dies.
- Die cut white cardstock with pull tab, tab topper and sleeve dies.
- Three small pieces of foam sheet 3mm thick.
