Hey guys,

Friday’s CCWM LIVE stream was a hoot! And I well and truly got my Autumnal vibes on the go! I made two cards – one of which incorporates the Chibitronics LEDS.

To start, I made this sweet Fall card – with lots of distress ink blending in the background. I die cut some leaf shapes onto the top panel using some coordinating dies, so that it peeked through the the layer underneath. I often come back to this fun technique – i like the contrast between the white top layer and the rich tones underneath.

For the main image, I decided to use the deer from the Forest Friends set from MFT stamps, along with one of the tree images. They are super cute! I added some purple tones behind him, although its hard to see when the stamped images are stuck on top. I used my copics to colour them in.

For my greeting, I used the same purple distress inks to colour some white card and then die cut this using a HAPPY die. To complete the greeting, I white heat embossed a partial sentiment from a clearly besotted stamp set on top of an orange ink blended background.

TA-DA! And a little sprinkle of sequins to finish!

For the next card, I asked the viewers what they wanted to see, and someone suggested a light up pumpkin! Even though I LOVE pumpkins, and I love pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin pies — I have very few pumpkin stamps! Can you believe it! BUT, I am never one to shy away from the challenge!

Here’s the finished card!What a cutie, huh?! I used a pierced circle die from Studio Katia to make the circular areas of my pumpkin, and coloured these with some distress inks. I also dug out a die that came free with a magazine which had a flourish – so I used this for some greenery around my pumpkin.

The background looks simple – I wanted a spooky effect, so i added colours with distress inks and then covered it with chipped sapphire and black soot – this is the same way that i create a galaxy effect background, except i didn’t add specks of white for stars this time.

The real magic is of course the light up LED! I used orange lights from the tropics LED set, and put the battery at the top right corner of my card.

I added a greeting using Lawn Fawn’s Milo’s ABCs and also the Monster Mash stamp set – and white heat embossed on top of my black background. I also wanted a small image where the battery lies- and this little spider was perfect. He is a wooden stamp that I have had in my stash for several years – but i think he is super cute!

Thanks for stopping by, and this Friday there will be another LIVE crafting video over on my YouTube. Hope to see you there!

Hello everyone, It’s Lesley here, aka Hungry Heffy.

I am thrilled to be hijacking the Chibi-blog today with a fun interactive project which features some Heffy Doodle stamps. And, if you are familiar with my work, you probably know that i LOVE an interactive card, so not only does this card light up it also has a built in shaker element!

The video above walks you through how I made it, but if you prefer photos – let’s take a look!

I started by cutting two A2 pieces of card, and then used a scalloped die to trim down one panel. Next I did some ink blending using dye ink, and splattered it with water and white watercolour paint. I used some alpha dies to cut out  some letters as well -‘U GUYS R’.

For the images I stamped two elephants from the sweet Heffy Doodle Elephant of Surprise stamp set (SSS* | AZ*)  and coloured them with my copic markers. I also stamped a balloon from this set, and added a heart onto it using the Heffy Doodle Happy Snappy Crocs set (SSS* | AZ*) – this is where I will add my Chibitronics LED.

I used a pink light from the Chibitronics Tropicals set  (CHI*) – I love this colour! I added a simple circuit to my base layer, and put the battery over by the bottom right, where I would add my second elephant.

I added a small ‘press here’ image onto this elephant using the Heffy Doodle Interactively Yours stamp set (SSS* | AZ*). There’s so many great images in this set for interactive card lovers like me!

Before adhering my top panel in place, I added acetate behind my die cut letters, added a foam tape frame and sprinkled on some Honey Bee Stamps (HBS*) sequins. I used smaller sequins because I didn’t want my shaker to be too thick. I added a little ground using a stitched landscape die (SSS*), stuck down my elephants and to finish off I added the word ‘fabulous’ cut from craft foam using a Honey Bee Stamps die (HBS*).

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed the video. Please feel free to check out my profile over on instagram, and follow me for more crafty projects. 😀
