I have created this fun light-up card using products from both companies! Read on to see how I created this card! You’ll be amazed at how EASY it is!!
First, I created my background using the Picket Fence Studios What’s Your Sign Stencil and Pint Sized Paper Pouncers. I blended Catherine Pooler’s All That Jazz and Cummerbund inks.
Next, I stamped my images from the Sugar and Calorie Free Stamp Set. I colored them in with Copic markers. I stamped my sentiment on Perfect Sentiment Cardstock – Black with Embossing ink and then sprinkled white embossing powder on it. I melted the powder with my heat tool and then die cut the sentiment out with the coordinating die. I also used the coordinating dies to cut out my cakes. I used the same dies to cut out 2 plain black pieces of cardstock. I glued the cakes and their black counterparts together on a slight angle, to give the effect of a shadow!
On my card base, I made 3 little pencil dots where I wanted the candles’ flames to be. I also made a little pencil dot where I wanted the ON button to be. For this card, I’m using the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Lights. I used double sided tape to adhere my battery and button where I wanted it. Then I used masking tape to hold my wires and lights in place.
Once I had everything in place, I placed Pear Blossom Press’s World’s Best Foam Tape everywhere except over the lights and battery/button case.
On my card front, I poked 3 holes where my lights are. I placed my Pear Blossom Press Yellow Candle Flame Gems over the lights using liquid glue. Then, I placed my Clay Candles under the flames and adhered them with liquid glue.
I used 3D Foam Squares to prop up my cakes and sentiment. I added a few Catherine Pooler Crater Lake Sequins to finish it off.
That’s how easy it is to create a fun light-up card! I hope you enjoyed my stop on the Blog Hop!

LOVE this card and light source! Very creative! I have the Picket Fence stamp set so I may give it a try on own. Thank you for sharing the details on how you created this.I have never made a “light” card and this seems like something Imay be able to accomplish. I need to branch out. Truly inspiring!
