Tropical Fun with Chibitronics and Xyron

Hi everyone!  I'm back today and want to share with you a fun project I made with Chibitronics and Xyron.  I found this fun Palm Tree Box file at SVGCuttingFiles, and new that it would be perfect with the new Tropical Color Lights from Chibitronics.

Products Used:

• Core'dinations Core Basics Patterns (2 Sheets Brown Plaid, 2 Sheets Light Green Crosshatch, 1 Sheet Light Pink Multi Dot)
• Core'dinations Core Basics (1 Sheet French Roast)
• Chibitronics Copper Tape
• Chibitronics Tropical LED Lights
• Xyron 1.5 Inch Sticker Maker
• Xyon 2.5 Inch Create a Sticker
• Palm Tree Box File from SVGCuttingFiles
• Cricut Explore
• Twine

This project came together quickly with the use of my Cricut and Xyron.  And decorating was super fun with Chibitronics.  Let me show you how to create the circuit for each tree.

 I brought the negative of the copper tape down the top of the paper and wrapped the positive end around through the box and attached the battery completing my circuit.

 Aren't these new colors so fun?  Love all the color variations that are now available from Chibitronics.  With the negative end up and positive down, it was quick work to light up each of the palm trees.

Here you can just see my negative run going through the top of the tree...don't worry tho, one I add the palm leaves that hole and the tape will be covered.

Embellishing the palm tree and making the hammock were super quick with the help of my Xyron machines.  I used the Create a Sticker to add dry adhesive to the wood pieces of my hammock.  I love that Xyron has machines in all different sizes for each of your paper crafting needs (yes, I have a huge selection...Xyron 850, 500, 2.5 inch, 1 inch...and even a tiny little 1/2 inch lol.

After adding these little coconut pieces that I made with my Xyron Sticker Maker and some twine to the hammock I was done.  

I haven't decided what I will do with this fun little home decor piece yet...Maybe use to hold some fun drink pics at my next Tiki Party?  hmmmm

Thanks for dropping by.  Now, head on over to the Xyron Facebook Page where the Xyron Design Team is sharing some fun Chibitronics projects all week long.  

Hugs.

Box Up the Week with Chibitronics

Happy Friday everyone!  And welcome to the last day I will bore you with projects I made for Chibitronics with the Rockin and Rollin SVG kit from SVGCuts and my Cricut.  lol

This box was so cute and simple to make.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the photos of the circuits so I will just have to tell you how I did it.  If you have been following along this week, you have seen how easy it is to use the copper tape to create a circuit.  For this project I simply added my lights under neath the dice, as well as along the record (you can see that from the photos).  I poked holes through the top layer and into the box so that I would have access to my battery.  So simple to do.  There are actually two separate circuits running.  One under the dice, the other across the top of the box.

Well, that is all the fun projects I have to share from CHA and Chibitronics.  I hope I have been able to inspire you to create using LED lights from Chibitronics.

Hugs.

A Jukebox that Lights up With Chibitronics

Hello Again!!!  More today from the Chibitronics booth at CHA featuring the projects I made using the SVGCuts Rockin and Rollin SVG Kit and my Cricut.

Today I wanted to share with you one of my absolute favorite projects I made for the booth.  This little light up Jukebox.

 

To create the box I used lots of Core'dinations papers.  I love the color core and how it reacts when embossed.  Almost like real wood on my box, yeah?  And, check out the metallic papers also from Core'dinations oh and the colored vellum.  I love the variety of papers the Core'dinations offers.

From there, I created my circuits adding light on the back panel of the 3D project where they would best shine through to the front.

Continuing the circuits onto the back of the project so as to be able to switch out the battery.

Love the way the projects lights up.  So super fun.

Hugs.

Adults at Play Yard Sign

Hey everyone!  Sorry I haven't been around much.  I have had some crazy family stuff happen.  If you are curious, you can check out my Facebook.

Anyway.....A few weeks ago I had a few friends over for a Tiki party in the backyard...anyway, a few of these so called friends said that I needed signs for the backyard.  um....ok.  Well, recently I have been trying my hand at vinyl and thought I ould make myself this sign.

I made this with Orcal 651 which should be permanent...but not sure of how it will hold up on this textured cutting board.  Oh well.....It looks ok for now (yes, I know the lines are a bit crooked, but you should try to get that vinyl onto a textured surface, ugh...no onoe warned me).  lol

You can find a free copy of the .svg file here.  And I already have a few more signs in the works.  These will be wood...not sure out of vinyl, may just make a stencil and paint....hmmmmmm Which do you think I should do?

Hugs.
