Chibitronics ~ Light Up Love

I'm so excited to share today’s card because it combines two of my favorite things: cute critters and interactive light-up elements! This sweet kitty card is packed with heart-filled details and a little bit of sparkle thanks to some amazing products from Chibitronics and Catherine Pooler Designs. 

The star of the show is that glowing heart! I used Animating White Blink LED Light Stickers from Chibitronics to add a soft, twinkling effect that brings this card to life. The gentle blinking light is perfect for a love-themed card and adds just the right amount of whimsy without overpowering the design.

Let’s Talk Circuits ⚡

To build the circuit, I used:

• Animating White Blink LED Light Stickers

• The new Launchpad Battery (I love how compact and easy it is to work with!)

• Conductive Fabric Tape to create my positive and negative paths

• Conductive Tape Patches to securely attach the battery

I also added a simple paper switch, making this card interactive and fun for the recipient to turn on and off. If you’re new to paper circuits, this is a fantastic setup to try — clean, straightforward, and very beginner-friendly.

To create the circuit, first I planned out the placement of my lights, then my battery and then the lines of the circuit. 

Next I made a paper switch and laid down Conductive Fabric Tape on both sides of the circuit.

Then I applied my 3 Animating White Blink LED Light Stickers and I placed my Launchpad Battery in place and locked into the circuit with some Conductive Fabric Patches.

 

The Cute Factor 🐱💗

For the card design itself, I couldn’t resist this peek-a-boo kitty! I used the More Peeking Pets stamp set for the adorable cat and topped it off with the sweet heart headband. The large heart window was die cut using the Stack of Hearts die set, creating the perfect opening for that glowing surprise.

The sentiment comes from the More Amor stamp & die set — such a great mix of playful and heartfelt — and everything is layered over patterned paper from the Heartbreaker paper pack. The bold, graphic hearts pair beautifully with the soft blinking light and really make the focal point pop.

Why I Love This Card

This project is a great reminder that interactive cards don’t have to be complicated to be impressive. A simple circuit, a thoughtful design, and a touch of light can turn a cute card into something truly memorable.

If you’ve been curious about adding lights to your cards, I hope this inspires you to give Chibitronics a try — especially paired with Catherine Pooler’s fun and modern designs.
