Happy Friday all! Today I'm sharing my latest Chibitronics creation that I made this week.
This card features cool paper circuit products including the Rainbow Fade Animating LED Light Stickers.
I first created the front panel of my card. For the front panel I printed out the sweet little wizard, "Sophia the Wise", from Mo's Digital Pencil and also her birthday greeting. I colored her image using Copic Markers.
Next I created the frame to wrap around the little wizard. I covered a piece of black cardstock with a variety of the Aall & Create "Fungal Trip" ephemera. I used a white gel pen to add some sparkles between all images.
I printed a copy of my wizard image on a piece of copy paper and adhered it to my circuit building panel. This piece always helps me position all of my lights and circuit aspects more easily.
Next I located the positions of all of my lights. I actually punched holes through my front panel and the mushroom elements and transposed their locations. I used my Craft Stencil to trace the light sticker shapes onto my circuit building panel. I chose to use red, green and blue LED Light Stickers to correspond with the color of the mushrooms on the card front. I chose to use one Rainbow Fade Animating LED Light Sticker at the end of the wizard's wand!
I traced out a circle for the location of my 3V Battery and laid out my Reed Switch to ensure I made room on my circuit for it.
Next I laid out the plan to create my circuit; blue lines for the negative side of the circuit and red lines for the positive side! I made sure to include the negative points of all the stickers on the negative side of the circuit and the positive on the positive side.
I also included the Reed Switch in between the battery and the positive sides of all the light stickers.
Next I laid down all the Conductive Fabric Tape for the negative side of the circuit, starting underneath the battery location.
Next I laid down the Conductive Fabric Tape for the positive side of the circuit. I made sure to tape in my Reed Switch. I just used the tape from the circuit to hold it in place.
Since I didn't need a battery style switch to complete my circuit this time, I just taped the 3V Batteries into place. YES... I used two 3V batteries for this card. They are just sitting on top of one another.
The last and final touch was to add in our LED Light Stickers. I used the Rainbow Fade Animating Light Sticker for her wand and Blue, Green and Red LED Light Stickers for the fungi around her!
To allow the Reed Switch to close, you have to add a little magnet to the top of the switch to close the circuit. I decided to create a mushroom wand (seen in the lower right corner of the photo above). I attached a little thin magnet to the back of one of the mushroom ephemera along with a metal wire handle. By taping the fungi wand to the word "MAGICAL" on the card front, the circuit closes and activates all the lights!
And here's what happens in action...
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my card share today!
See you again soon!
