Hey BOO! | Halloween Light Up Interactive Card | Studio Katia

Well Hey, Boo! 

Today I have a special little card for you! Not only is this little pumpkin adorable, it is also interactive and lights up for the recipient. How fun is that?! I am so addicted to these new to me EZ-lights that I'm sure you will be seeing a lot more of these light-up cards in the future!

  CARD DETAILS

Here is how I made this card:

• Die-cut 2 HALF STRIPED COVER frames, one orange, and one purple.
• Rotate one Striped Cover over the other 90 degrees and glue together onto a white card panel.
• Die-cut the top, bottom, and frame pieces for the pumpkin using the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES
• Glue the bottom of the pumpkin onto the center of the card panel.
• Punch a hole through both the card panel and the pumpkin base (somewhere where it won't be seen from the face openings.
• Add vellum behind the pumpkin face and add foam tape to the outer edges of the pumpkin's face.

• Thread the EZ-Light wire from behind the panel through the hole you punched through the panel. 
• Tape down each EZ-Light so that the light is able to shine through the vellum areas of the pumpkin's face. ( I taped them behind the top orange pumpkin layer)  
• Line up the pumpkin's face with the back layer and adhere them together with the foam tape.
• Glue down the pumpkin's frame around the pumpkin.
• Insert the battery and tape down the EZ-Light push button behind the area you want the recipient to push down on. Test the push area.
• Tape the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border. 

• Attach to the card base.
• Die-cut the letters from glitter craft foam using the CHUNKY ALPHABET and arrange and press onto the card front.
• Instead of writing push or press on the area, I used the Miss You stamp from the SWEET HEART CANDY.
• To finish, embellish with your favorite bling. (I used RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS and AMETHYST PEARLS).

Now let's see how cool it looks when you light it up!

How cool is that right?

I hope you were inspired by this fun Halloween Light Up Card. I'm already planning my next one, lol! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, I will post a quick video of the card coming together.

Happy Birthday Slimline Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my Friends and Happy Wednesday!

I have a fun Birthday Slimeline shaker card to share with you all today. I love making slimline cards and since this is a birthday card, I thought making it interactive would be fun for the recipient.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped the cute little MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE and die cut it using the coordinating MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE DIE. I then colored the image in using Copic Markers.

The next step was to die cut all the pieces for the shaker card. I first die cut the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2. I then die cut the center of the panel using the oval dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1. Behind the slimline panel, I glued a piece of acetate cut large enough to cover the window. To line the perimeter of the oval opening I used FOAM TAPE that I cut to about half of the width.

On the slimline card base, I glued a piece of rainbow pattern paper from the BLACK, WHITE AND RAINBOW PAPER pack. Since the slimline is longer than the papers, I just extended the pattern by adding another piece of the same pattern that I cut to fit the card base. I then added the VANILLA LUSTER FUSION sequins to the center of the pattern paper and carefully lined up the front panel to create the shaker.

Next, I die cut the Birthday letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET dies and added small pieces of BLACK FOAM to the back of each letter to add a bit of dimension and then attached them to the card front.

In place of the "A", I just added the cute little birthday cake that I had previously colored. I also added the "happy" sentiment that comes from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set that I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and then fussy cut.

To finish off this fun and festive slimline birthday card, I glued on a few rainbow-colored pearls. See links below for the ones I used. 

I hope this card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
