Light Up My Holidays

Only five days left until Christmas!  Too late to mail cards but I do give out a few in person.   I also like to make cards to use next year while I’m in the holiday mood.  The shaker card lights up when the tab is pulled.  I first stamped and watercolored my scene.  I poked […]

Holiday Joy

Kelly Szafron here with a festive card to share.  I was shopping on line and saw the little star embellishments from Buttons Galore and thought they would be fun to light up with Chibitronics.  I placed the background stamp on my Misti stamp positioning tool and inked it with a blue Distress Ink, stamped and […]

Joy Christmas Card

Kelly here with a Christmas card made with a simple circuit and press switch.  I cut a mask for a snowy hill from some masking paper.  I adhered the mask to the bottom of a piece of card stock then stamped and embossed the images from Flora and Fauna.  I used a glitter white snow […]

Happy Haunting

Kelly here in hot and humid Houston, Texas.  Doesn’t feel much like fall here so we rely on fall decorations and pumpkin spiced treats to remind us what time of year it is.  With Halloween approaching I wanted to create a fun card using Chibitronics and stamps from Hello Bluebird.  For inspiration I googled creepy […]

Magical Unicorn

Hello, Kelly here with a simple light up card.  I made this unicorn magical by having her horn light up. I stamped the images from Flora and Fauna using Momento Ink on Neenah cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  I poked a hole on the tip of the unicorn’s horn for the LED light to […]

Beak Sing

Hello!  Kelly here sharing a card using Hello Bluebird Stamps and Chibitronics.  We have herons in the lakes in our neighborhood, they are magnificent birds.  They are often standing on the shore watching for fish to eat.  I have only ever heard them squawk I’m not sure if they ever sing but I thought this […]

Hoppy Birthday Card

Hello!  Kelly Szafron here.  My families cabin used to be surrounded by swamp and forest.  In the evenings we could hear the frogs and toads singing.  Away from the city lights the stars were so bright at the cabin.  This card was inspired by those summer evenings.  I used Waffle Flower Stamps and dies and […]

Hooray Tween Boy Birthday Card

Hello!  I have two tween sons and one of them is turning nine in a couple of weeks.  Sometimes I struggle to think of card ideas for boys this age.  A light up robot is perfect though for my soon to be nine year old.  He is a lively kid so I made him a […]

Under the Sea

Hello!  I’m here today to share how I made this under water scene light up shaker card.  I started out by stamping the mermaid on smooth bristol paper.  I then used masking fluid to mask the mermaid off. While the masking fluid was drying I made the frame for the shaker.  I diecut several circles […]

I’m Owl Yours

Shine Like A Diamond

Hello, Kelly here today with a colourful card.  Using Yupo and Alcohol inks in card making is very trendy at the moment.  I used Ranger Alcohol Ink Blending Solution and Ranger Alcohol Inks on Yupo paper to create my background.  I left the inks to dry overnight then stamped the images from Heffy Doodle’s stamp […]
