You Light Up My Life Fireflies

6/20/2016

3 Comments

 
Today I have been playing with some mini electronic circuits to make light up cards.

At dusk this time of year, we have LOTS of Fireflies dancing around in the park behind our house.

That's where the inspiration for this card came from.

I punched small holes at the fireflies bottoms and added little chibi-tronics bulbs behind them.

​When the little 'here' firefly is pressed the fireflies in the jar light up!

I also heat embossed the lid of the jar with Silver Embossing Powder - although it's hard to see in the photos. My Stamp Room was unusually bright today and I had trouble taking photos in focus :(

This was so much fun - I can't wait to try other 'light-up' cards! The new catalog is full of ideas!

​Come on back tomorrow to see the Christmas card I made :)

This is my dream come true! I was asking hubby about this at Christmas time to make card tree light up! You did it! I love the lightning bugs here in PA. My grandkids are gonna love this. Thank you!

I love, love, love this card. I've seen these lights before, but never used in such a darling way. I am visiting my daughter in Virginia from the West and just saw my first fireflies a week ago. Keep making these cute cards!
