To make this card, I first chose my ink color combo. If you need help picking the perfect color combo, you can download a FREE Catherine Pooler Color Wheel!
For my combo, I’m using Whipped Honey, In the Park, Aquatini, It’s a Girl, Polished, Cotton Candy, and Minted.\

I used the Dots & Scallops Dies to create my layers. Then, I used the Mason Jar Snow Globe Stamp Set to create my jar. The lantern and sentiment comes from the Warm and Bright Stamp Set . I stamped my sentiment with the new gorgeous Champagne Metallic Ink!

Once I got all of that stamped, die cut, and assembled, I created a flame for my candle using the PB Press Stamp and Die Combo.

Next, I popped a One Light out of the Halo Light Combo. I inserted a battery (that comes with the combo!) and tested my light to ensure my battery was placed properly.
Then, on my A2 card base, I placed my assembled front panel on top and made a pencil mark inside the flame so I know where my light needs to be.

I placed my One Light where I wanted it to be and secured it using double sided tape. Next, I placed some World’s Best Foam Tape around the entire card base (leaving a border). Then, I attached my front panel to the card!

Here’s a photo of the card with the light off.

And, with a simple push of a button… Voila! Light!

This is definitely a super special card for someone to receive this Christmas!

Hello there, crafty friends! I am so happy to be guest designing for Pear Blossom Press using the oh-so-amazing EZ- Lights!

To make this light-up card, I started by stamping some images from the Avery Elle Peek-a-Boo Pets, Peek-a-Boo Pals, and Peek-a-Boo Car stamp sets. I colored all of the images with Copic markers and then cut them out with their coordinating dies.

Now onto creating my background scene! On a piece of white cardstock cut to 5.25″ x 4.5″, I blended Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Faded Jeans Distress Oxides. I also created a foreground frame using Heffy Doodle’s Stitched Rectangle Dies and My Favorite Things Inside and Out Stitched Rounded Squares Dies. For my street, I grabbed a piece of gray cardstock and used the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slopey Joe Border Dies. I darkened the edges using Black Soot Distress ink to give it some dimension. I also stamped my sentiment on the “street” using Versamark Watermark Ink and used white embossing powder on it.

Using the Heffy Doodle Cityscape Stencil, I created a city in the background with Black Soot Distress Ink. I added some stars with Antique Linen Distress Oxide and the Starfall Stencil.

Now, I’m finally ready to get my EZ-lights installed! I set my colored images up where I wanted them and then used a pencil to make marks on the background where I wanted my lights to shine through. I poked holes through those spots and then used my pencil to create dots on my card base. I put dots where I wanted each of the 3 lights to go, as well as where my push button will be.

Then, on my card base, I lined up the lights and push button on top of my pencil marks. I used some tape to hold the pieces down and used 3mm Deep Foam Tape to prop my card front up. This thick foam tape keeps me from having to double up on regular foam tape!

Now, all I needed to do was adhere all my images to the front of the card using liquid glue and 3D foam squares! And voila! It’s magic! Man, I love these EZ-lights!!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a fantastic day! Xoxo, Amanda
