Chibitronics ~ Warm Winter Cheeks

Happy Friday!   Today I'm sharing my latest Chibitronics creation that I've made this week.

Today's card features the cute little 'Bominable Snowmen from the new Sweet November Stamps release called, "Baby 'Bominable Winter Wonders" stamp set.

I began by stamping out my little critters and tree lined background.  As I stamped my polar bear and abominable snowmen, I also stamped them on my inner circuit building panel using a lighter ink.  This helps with positioning my light stickers when I go to build my circuit.

I finished off the front panel by coloring the scene in using my Copic Markers.  I also stamped on the "Push Here" image from the Lawn Fawn stamp set, "Push Here".  This will let my recipient know how to activate the lights.

Next it was on to the circuit.

First I applied my Battery Holder to the top left hand corner of my circuit building surface.  This will used as a switch to activate the lights.

Then I used my Craft Stencil and mapped out the location of all my light stickers.  I'm going to be using one Animating Red Fade LED Light Sticker (heart shaped) for the standing yeti's heart and regular Pink LED Light Stickers for all the "cheeks" and cheeks of my creatures.

Next I mapped out the location of all my light stickers and the pathways of the negative (blue lines) and positive (red lines) of my circuit using pen.

Next I laid down the Conductive Fabric Tape for the negative side of my circuit.  I began on the bottom side of the self adhesive Battery Holder and the location of the Battery.

Then I laid down the positive side of the circuit tape.  I began on the inside of the lid of the Battery Holder of the circuit.  This allows the lid of the Battery Holder to be pressed closed, which allows the lights to come on - otherwise known as the switch. 

If you notice towards the bottom left hand corner of the circuit, the two sides of the circuit cross.  When your two sides of the circuit cross, you want to create a barrier between the 2 layers of tape.  I created a little paper bridge and hen laid my Conductive Fabric Tape across the negative side of the circuit (see the little circular insert in the photo below).

Lastly, to complete the circuit, I added my LED Light Stickers.  I used 1 Animating Red Fade LED Light Stickers and 5 Pink LED Light Stickers on the circuit.

I adhered the double sided self-adhering "C" shaped foam inside the Battery Holder and popped in a 3V Coin Battery.

I also added some 3D foam strips all around the edge of the circuit panel so the card feels flat.

Let's give it test... and REMEMBER... the switch, when pressed and held, allows the heart on the yeti to light up red and fade in and out.

And look at those pink tooshies and cheeks!  LOL!

Thanks for stopping by!  I'd love to hear what you think about today's light up card!  Have a great weekend
