Good morning! The Chibitronics design team is collaborating with Winnie & Walter today and we’re celebrating with a big blog hop and giveaways! You can find the hop list and giveaway details at the bottom of my post but here’s what I created!
Ha, my card might need a little explanation to anyone who’s never played with a cat and a laser pointer! My cat, in particular, LOVES the laser pointer and she does that iconic cat butt wiggle whenever we get it out and flash it on the wall. So I thought it’d be fun to have that laser “dot” on the wall with a pair of “wiggling” cats!
I started by stamping all the elements from Purrfect onto white cardstock with copic-friendly ink. I colored them with copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I added a few accents with a white gel pen and spectrum noir clear sparkle. I also added a little liquid adhesive to the dangly on the cat tree and added chunky and fine glitter to make it sparkly! I also stamped a second cat tree and colored the bottom shelf and fussy cut it so that I could make a wider area for my cat pair to sit.
Next I took a piece of strathmore bristol cardstock and blended abandoned coral, dried marigold, and peacock feathers distress ink onto the panel. I spritzed it with water and blotted off the excess water. After it dried I stamped the sentiment and music notes from Party On to the panel with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I poked a small hole where I wanted the light to shine.
I created a basic circuit and adhered a red LED light to mimic the look of a laser pointer. Then I used a double layer of foam mounting tape to build up a border around the battery and light and then adhered the ink blended panel over it. I adhered the cat tree and toys to the card with regular adhesive. The yarn and mouse are adhered over the battery and when pressed the light turns on. Finally I adhered the cats with a mini action wobbler!
It’s a rather simple use of the Chibitronics LED light stickers but I think a very effective one for cat-lovers! 🙂

I just love it Jessica! The light up looks just like a pointer! And I am not even a cat lover, but I love your card, and the whole idea. Once again a awesome and creative card. Your the best.
Jessica, your card is so cute! My daughter is a cat girl and her cats love the laser pointer. She would love a card like this one.

Aww.. so cute..Love the way you have light up your card..
Your card is so cool! An action wobbler is the purr-fect way to add the cats 😉
I love blog hops because they inspire me to create–thank you!!!
I totally get your card. That tower reminds me of the one I rearranged my living room for. After that the tower ended up in the family room so we could have our cat closer to us. I sent the image of your card to my kids, because they will absolutely get it also. So cute, bright Copic coloring and the laser spot is perfect. Love your work. Thanks for sharing!
Very unique with light bulb.
Not a cat person, but this is adorable!
Jess, this is such a sweet card!! I so want to learn to do this! Love your coloring on the tabby especially!! Great that you included all the cat toys and play gym with them looking at the bright light!! So fun!
Your card is so fun and adorable! I need to find our laser thingy and play with the cat with it–haven’t done that in awhile.
