NOTE – i am part of two hops today, one for Chibitronics and another for Heffy Doodle. To visit the other project click here to open in a new tab. Hop along on both posts for more chances to win.
Hello everyone,
Today I am super honored to be creating not one, but two projects in support of a very worthy cause – Autism Awareness Day!
To start the Chibitronic hop, please visit the Chibitronics blog here so you can go through the whole hop.
Here is my project which features some products from Heffy Doodle stamps (which actually has a sale right now!)
So incase you didn’t know, the brief for this hop was BLUE – as the tagline for Autism Awareness is ‘Shine a light on autism – Light it up blue’, and with CHibitronics we can ACTUALLY light it up in BLUE!
So blue LEDs were a must, and i thought i would use the Beary Big Heart stamp set, with the little bear holding the heart, and then make the heart light up. But instead of having a push button, I wanted a slide switch. The bunny (from Heffy Doodle Honey Bunny Boo stamp set) is attached to the ‘Slide me’ switch at the bottom – move it to the left and the bunny moves over to also hug the heart, lighting it up blue. Oh…btw, the Slide Me is from Heffy Doodle Interactively Yours stamp set.
These photos above were taken so you can see the LEDs behind the vellum, however after this, i covered the heart with glossy accents, it is less noticeable in the finished card.
For the sentiment i used the Lucky Heffy Cuts die along with some sentiments from the Heffy Doodle Lucky Friends stamp set – they go great together.
Right… let’s light this up!
TA-DA! I always think it’s quite magical! and for those of you who wish to see the circuit beneath all of this – here’s a little diagram of how i made it.
In addition, there is some copper tape on the back of the slider, which connects the broken section in the copper tape when you slide the bunny across.
Thanks for stopping by, please head back to the Chibitronics blog to see the next person on the list.
And remember to wear something blue today & keep Autism Awareness close to your heart. <3
