I created two cards using Bright Days stamp set and coordinating dies for these cards. They were perfect to use with the Pear Blossom Press EZ Lights and Halo Lights.
I stamped the images, colored them in and die cut them. Then, I decided where they would lay on the card panel. I die cut the areas where the bulbs would sit. I added the batteries and placed the lights down. I couldn't believe how easy it was to use the EZ Lights! I was actually pretty nervous about it at first, but it was so easy! Then I placed the lights down and held them in place with tape.
I tested the lights before completing and assembling the card to make sure the positioning was OK.
I used the My Favorite Things Interactive Labels stamp to show how to light everything up and where to press. Then, I assembled the cards using Heffy Doodle foam from Pear Blossom.
Here are a few close-ups of the cards:
And now, here are a few pics in the dark to show off how awesome the lights look!
