Hello everyone! I'm participating in a blog hop with Honey Bee Stamps and Chibitronics to celebrate World Cardmaking Day!
FYI my video is different than usual. I completely lost my voice - I ended up with the worst cold this week and by the time I finished editing this video my voice was just horrible. SO - I added subtitles and music. It's not ideal (and took 10x longer than it does usually to edit - so definitely something I'll only do when I have no other options) but I so wanted to share the video with you all to show how I made my card light up!
I'll have links to all the other stops on the hop later on in the post!
Here's what I created:
I was inspired by this card by Leanne that I had seen on Instagram when making my card.
I used Honey Bee Stamps Bushel and a Peck stamp set along with their Happy Fall Y'all stamp set for the flowers.
Everything was stamped onto Neenah Solar White 80lb card stock with Hero Arts Intense Black ink then coloured in with Copic markers.
All of the images are popped up on a double layer of foam tape. To create the Jack O Lantern face on the basket I first sketched it with a pencil then used a PenBlade to cut it out. I backed that with vellum that I'd coloured yellow with a Copic marker.
Behind all of that is the circuits and lights and battery from a Chibitronics starter kit. When you press on the large flower:
The face lights up!!
I finished off the inside of the card with a Happy Halloween sentiment (from the Honey Bee Stamps Hey, Pumpkin! stamp set) and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the product images have sets of letters below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. SSS = Simon Says Stamp, AZ = Amazon, MFT = My Favourite Things, SnS = Scrap N Stamp (Canada) etc. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
