#LIGHTUPCARD

Interactive cards are always such fun to receive, and light-up cards are fast becoming one of my favourites! These premade LED lights are assembled ready to go… but each light set comes with 3 lights. What can you do if you do not want 3 lights on your project? 

Where to buy the Lights?

Finally, an affordable option here in Australia to buy LED card lights! Auzz Trinklets and Krafts sent me these to try and now I am going to buy the pack of 10! I have an affiliate LINK HERE if you would like to use it (at no extra cost to you).
In the US? Don’t worry, you have many options with the fab lights from Pear Blossom Press and I also have an affiliate link with Simon Says Stamp and you can get those RIGHT HERE.

TIPS & TRICKS Light Up Cards!

WARNING: Pressing the battery is addictive, I suggest making 2 cards, one to play with and one to send!

For my project today I wanted only 2 lights and I have never changed the number of lights in these sets before. BUT, it was very easy to do. I remember seeing a video on YouTube (which sadly I cannot find, but a huge thank you for the inspiration and I promise to link it, if I find it).

I have this sweet vintage car which I coloured using Copic Markers. And I wanted to use the LED lights for the headlights, so I only needed 2… and the pack comes with 3. 

HOW? I simply used some scissors to cut one of the lights off the set and taped the ends of them separately with some tape. I told you it was simple!

I added a fun sentiment from an older set, which I think works perfectly with this vintage car.

Check out these lights, I was worried he would not be able to see driving at night!

Let me know in the comments below if you are going to challenge yourself to create an interactive card… maybe even light something up! I am truly glad that you shared your time with me today, sending crafty hugs your way!
