Light Up my Teacup Gift

Hey everyone!  Happy Monday!  Today I wanted to share with you a project I made using one of my favorite Brenda Walton for Sizzix dies, The Bigz 3-D Teacup, a sheet of older Prima paper, and of course some fun electronics from Chibitronics.

I began by creating the teacup shape.  Love this shape for creating a "grown up" goodie bag and lighting it up makes it just that more special.

After creating the cup I created my parallel circuit using the copper tape from Chibitronics as an additional embellishment.

From there, it was simply a matter of hiding my battery with a few embellishments and to continue embellishing with items from my stash, Prima flowers, bling, chipboard and even a little tassle.

I really love the way this little cup turned out.  Filled with a few beautiful chocolates it made such a lovely gift.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs.

Happy Birthday - Chibitronics & SVGCuts

Hi everyone!  Hope you had a great weekend.  Today I wanted to share with you a project I made with the fun LED lights from Chibitronics.  Recently, SVGCuts released the super cute collection Country Market.  Well, the minute I saw the easel box with the arrow...I knew I had to light that arrow up with my Chibitronics.

I used some older Crate Paper patterned papers, and Core'dinations cardstock, along with my Cricut Explore to create the little box (which just happens to hold a new cell phone).

Lighting up the box was so easy, especially since the SVGCuts file came with a hole in the arrow and gift box where I could run my foil tape to the battery.

Of course, even without the battery in place the box is super cute....but I really do love the way it lights up.

Hugs.

Congratulations - Chibitronics and Core'dinations

Hi everyone!  Sorry I missed you yesterday, it was a crazy weekend and I just, well.....

Anyway, today I want to share with you a fun little card I made for a friend's newest grand baby.  I have had this Stampin' Up set forever and these days it is rare that I break it out.  Of course, as my friends start having more grand children....

Step 3:  Create light circuit being sure to place the lights where they can poke through the holes in the top layer.

Step 4:  Mount the colored design onto the Tilly Dot paper and use foam squares to make room for battery on.

I really love the way the "stars" twinkle on this sweet little card.
