Chibitronics and Studio Katia Collaboration


Hello! Two great companies are joining forces today to bring you several fun projects ... Chibitronics and Studio Katia! I've been anxious to share this card for quite awhile, as it's a big first for me ... my first light-up shaker card! Let's take a look ...


 



To start, I stamped the balloons from Kobi the Birthday Bear and the sentiment from Happy on the card base. For the shaker part I cut out a window from Dotted Patterns 1 on another piece of paper, and then traced along the inside of that shape on my card base so I knew what part of the background will be visible. I also traced around the bear head and cake so I knew where I could hide the battery and lights. This is where I put my battery holder.


Here's a peek at the guts of the card. Copper tape runs from the battery holder to two lights which will be behind the bear head. You'll also notice that I cut a section of the foam window away to make room for the battery.


Then it's a matter of pouring the shaker mix in (which came from Lev's Creations, Katia's adorable little son who makes a custom mix for you!) The green brush strokes are from Brush Stroke Stripes.


The accessories that come with Kobi are really fun to add to your card, and in this case, helped to hide the battery even better. Love the numbered candles for his cake!


Here's a shot at all the supplies, except the brush stroke stripes. The lights are of course from Chibitronics. Shall we see him in action? 


Once you press on the sentiment,


Kobi lights up! The best thing about this is that all the shaker mix elements sparkle and shine like crazy, since the light hits all the facets in the sequins.

Here's a short video showing the shaker card and the light up feature:
