How to make light up shadow box card.

Hi, crafty friends!

This is Eiko and I make light up shadow box card using Lawn Fawn stamps and dies.

When you pull the pull tab, the windows glow.

I will make the parts referring to the picture below.

  • Die cut a pattern paper with shadow box die.
  • Cut the white cardstock for background.
  • Stamp the starry backdrops with Versamark and heat embossing using clear embossing powder, and then coloring with salty ocean and black soot Distress Oxide ink.
  • Cut the white cardstock for the circuit.
  • Cut the white vellum paper for the windows.
  • Die cut a white cardstock with hillside border dies.
  • Stamp the penguin, house and lantern using Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black and color with copics.
  • Cut out the windows with a craft knife.
  • Pull tab parts (two 0.5 x 2 inch)

  • Adhere the copper tape to the same position as the copper tape attached to the circuit paper.
  • Pull out the switch part from the slit and adhere the copper tape around the switch part.
