Well, recently I received a yummy box of goodies from My Favorite Things for a blog hop with Chibitronics. Of course I had to come up with a few "Thank You" cards for swim team. Don't forget to check out all the gorgeous goodies the MFT girls made on the My Favorite Things Blog
Sparkle Card Supplies :
- Chibitronics Copper Foil Tape
- Chibitronics Tropical Color LED Circuit Stickers
- My Favorite Things DC You Were Meant to Sparkle Stamps
- My Favorite Things Black Licorice Hybrid Ink Pad
- My Favorite Things Prestige Cardstock Sampler
- My Favorite Things Plaid Patterns Paper Pack

Step 1: Cut cardstock to size and add layer of patterned paper.
Step 2: Stamp sentiment onto white cardstock using hybrid ink and stamp.
Step 3: Create the circuit using copper tape and LED light stickers on an extra sheet of paper or cardstock. You can see more information and directions on the Chibitronics website here. I used three different colors of lights to give the card a bit more sparkle.
Step 4: Complete the circuit by adding copper tape to the back of the stamped sentiment.
Step 5: Embellish design with additional sequins.
This switch is super fun to use, just run your finger over the bottom of the card and the lights sparkle.

Step 1: Assemble Card Base
Step 2: Stamp Sentiment onto layered papers.
Step 3: Die cut white cardstock mug and vellum steam and coffee. I used my trusty Sizzix Machine and some Core'dinations gold vellum.
Step 4: Assemble simple circuit behind where the steam will be placed.
Step 5: To prevent the card from lighting before being presented, I added a small piece of cardstock between the tape and the battery. Once presented, the recipient can pull the cardstock out completing the circuit.
This is a simple way to prevent the battery from running out before the card is presented.
