Light up the Lawn ...Fawn that is

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn blog share.  Chibitronics and Lawn Fawn have teamed up to share some of the great ideas and projects you can make with these two great companies.

Lawn Fawn makes some of the cutest clear stamps out there and I was lucky to receive the Loads of Fun stamps to play with.

Supplies Used:  

• Ranger Archival Ink - Black
• Ranger Distress Crayons
• Lawn Fawn Loads of Fun Stamps
• Chibitronics LED Sticker Lights
• Chibitronics Copper Tape
• Core'dinations Cardstock
• Foam Adhesive

Step 1:  Color card base with Distress Crayons.  Unlike many watercolor mediums, these you want to go somewhat heavy with in order to get a good smudge.

Step 2:  Color stamped images and color with Distress Crayons.  Apply adhesive.  I like using a dry adhesive like my Xyron Sticker Maker.

Step 3:  Create card design and poke holes where you want the lights to shine through.  

Step 4:  With Pencil, mark card base where lights need to show through.

Step 5:  Create simple, parallel circuit.

Step 6:  Attach card design to base using foam adhesive to compensate for depth of battery.

That's it...so cute, so simple.

Thanks for dropping by.

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.
