Here is my card that I made with the Light Up My Life stamp set. I am old enough to remember the song from the 70s about You Light Up My Life ... and when I saw this stamp set, I could hear the song in my mind, and I wanted to LIGHT UP these lights! Let's check out the card!
I stamped out the image in black pigment ink, then sprinkled on Clear Detail embossing powder and then heat set it. I also stamped out the sentiment the same way below the light image.
I colored the lights and background. to make them even more sparkly, I applied adhesive with my Fine Nuvo Glue Pen, and sprinkled on Evening Glow glitter to the light bulb elements, and Sonic Silver glitter to the light bulb base.
I wanted to highlight the "You" in the sentiment. I stamped out the sentiment a second time on red cardstock, using Versamark Ink Pad. I sprinkled on White Detail embossing powder and heat set it. Then, I die cut it with a heart die. I layered it over the sentiment below and lined it up to match the sentiment below. I layered the card panel over Gold Mirror Cardstock to make it even more gold and fun.
And, the final part of the card, which made it really fun to make and looks even cooler in person .... is that it LIGHTS UP! Check this out!
To make it light up, I adhered copper wire tape to my card base, and attached Chibitronic mini lights. Here is a photo of what the copper wiring looked like and the battery to power the card lights.
Here is a photo of what it looks like with the lights lit up. I designed the card to light up when I pushed on the battery, which is conveniently under the "You" heart of the sentiment!
This card was tons of fun, and I love how it lights up. This Light Up My Life set is really creative and fun.
