Twinkling Stars LED Card with Chibitronics

Good morning!  Today I’m sharing a video tutorial showing how to use Chibitronics LED stickers and effects stickers to create a twinkling starry night sky!

(Watch in HD)

Before I forget…there’s one step that I left out of my video (that, to be honest, I kinda wish I hadn’t done).  After I finished the card I decided to add a little more shimmer to my sky so I added spectrum noir clear sparkle all over the card.  It definitely reacted with the distress ink and created more of a mottled texture across the card (as you can see in the photos below).  Oh well, you live, you learn!  However, it’s incredibly sparkly which is always a plus!

And here’s what my card looks like when the lights go out!

To be honest, it’s probably easier to watch the video to explain the process of adding the interactive circuit to the card, but you could also create the card without the circuit.  I stamped the bunnies from WPlus9 onto my card and masked them with post-it tape.  Then I blended distress inks over the background to create my sky.  I also added a few spritzes of water, a few spritzes of shimmer spray, and a few flicks of white acrylic paint to add dimension and sparkle to my sky.  I colored the bunnies with copic markers and then added the ground using die-cuts from Lawn Fawn.  I also stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from WPlus9.

Thanks so much for visiting and I hope my card inspires you to add a little technology to your papercrafts!  Have a wonderful day!
