CAS-ual Fridays Stamps meets Chibitronics Blog Hop

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a fabulous week!

I am part of a blog hop today with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps in conjunction with Chibitronics. Chibitronics can make your card light up!!!

You should have come from Wei Wei Wang's blog.


I have to admit, I was a bit scared. I never took Physics in High School for a reason. Making a simple circuit? Thought I would be in trouble. I did do a sample card first to make sure it would work and surprise, surprise-it was easy!!

Here is what comes in the Chibitronics starter kit:


Copper tape, batteries, a ton of tiny lights-everything you need to bump up a card to the next level.

To create my card, I used CAS-ual Fridays Stamps "Snowy Sayings" and "Powerful Words" set with "Funky Flakes Fri-dies" for a monochromatic holiday card.


First I stamped tiny dots from "Snowy Sayings" with pigment ink and heat embossed it in white. I used "Powerful Words" for my sentiment, using the same technique as the card front. I fussy cut the sentiment and adhered it to the card front.


I then die cut a few of the snowflakes using the "Funky Flakes" Fri-dies" and adhered them to the card. I topped the snowflake off with a clear sequin and some Diamond Stickles. A really simple card but then it was time to make it light up.


I DID NOT photograph my circuit as my inside was terribly messy. I had to pull up the tape a few times to get the battery and the light where I wanted it. However, I created a diagram above to show you how I set the simple circuit up. Totally easy!!!

I had a really hard time taking a photo of the card lighting up so I apologize for the photo below.


It looks really cool in real life. So much so that my daughter asked me where I bought it!!!

Next up is Karen Pemberton Szafron's Blog. If you get lost along the way, hop on over to CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog to get the full blog hop list.

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps October Release-"Powerful Words"

Happy Hump Day everyone!! I hope everyone is having a fabulous week. The leaves have changed to some brilliant colors and I have been enjoying the lovely fall days.

Today is another new stamp set release from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. This set is called "Powerful Words" and contains some FABULOUS brush sentiments. It is available now in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Shop.



I created a very simple card using ink blending, the "believe" sentiment from "Powerful Words" and a butterfly from the "Be" stamp set released yesterday.


I started off this card with a white panel measuring 4" by 5 1/4." I made a mask by die cutting a circle onto a piece of copy paper and centering it over the white card stock. I used Distress ink in three different yellow colors to ink blend the yellow background.


I then stamped the sentiment and the butterfly in black. I covered both with Clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents


When the Glossy Accents dried, I layered the panel over a yellow A2 card stock background. I finished off the card with a trio of clear sequins.


I cannot wait to use these sentiments for some other cards. They are so beautiful!!!

Since the beautiful stamps are available today, there is not better time to shop!! If you use my code nora2016, you get a 15% discount off your order!!
