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.

Thank you for stopping and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Hello Fall Sunflower Slimline Scene | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Everyone, hope you all had a wonderful weekend. 

I am back today with this Hello Fall Sunflower Slimline Scene using die cuts only. The perfect card to send a friend this season just to let them know you are thinking about them. I mixed and matched a few die sets to come up with the design and I hope you are inspired by it. I love sunflowers, so this was a great excuse to make some.

CARD DETAILS

Here's how you can recreate this card.

1. Begin by die cutting the frame and background using the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIES from cardstock that blends well. (I used Bristol Paper)
2. Blend the background panel. (I used VINTAGE PHOTO and BROKEN CHINA Oxide Ink) 
3. Use the PUMPKIN PATCH STENCIL to blend out falling leaves in the sky and on the ground.

1. Die-cut a few clouds using the LARGE CLOUDS DIES. Glue onto the top part of the panel. Trim off any excess that hangs over the edge.
2. Die-cut the petals and centers for the sunflowers from the FALL BOUQUETS HONEY CUTS.  Ink up edges of the petals and curl them to add dimension. Glue the layers together. ( I used a gold glitter cardstock under the flower centers)
3. Die-cut stems and leaves for the sunflowers using the dies from STITCHED FLOWERS HONEY CUTS. Glue stems behind the flower heads.
4. Arrange the sunflowers as you wish and glue onto the card panel. Glue leaves in place.

1. Die-cut the hello from the SLIMLINE SENTIMENTS EYELET DIES, position, and glue in place.
2. Die-cut the letters for the word Fall. I used both the BEE BOLD ALPHABET CUTS and the BEE BOLD LOWERCASE DIES. Arrange and glue in place.
3. Add extra leaves from using dies from the FALL BOUQUETS | HONEY CUTS. (I inked them up with various fall colors, see oxide inks links below. I also used gold glitter ones too).

1. Cut out a slimline sized card base (9x8inches). The finished card measures 9 inches tall by 4 inches wide.
2. To finish the card, glue the slimline background onto the card base and add the scalloped edging that was die cut from the first step.

I hope you were able to follow the process along and are inspired to create your own Fall Sunflower Slimline Scenes.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
