Hello friends,
today I´m back with a project for the Lawn Fawn and Chibitronics collaboration blog hop. here for I decided to use my out of this world stamp set from Lawn Fawn. I already found this set great to create a card in a box card, as I wanted to let the planets look like they are floating in the space. But I also had the idea of making a card in a box lightens up. This is how this card came together.
First I stamped my images with my Memento Tuxedo black ink on whisper white paper from Stampin up as I was planning to use my Copic markers. In case you are interested in the color combination I´m using please watch my video ; ) After all the images have been colored I fuzzy cut them at trace the edges with my Memento marker, so there wouldn't be a white border in case I missed something to fuzzy cut.
Then I created my pop-up box card. My box has german dimensions, so it would fit perfectly in a german C6 envelope. I created a separate video on this as I thought that the video would be to long. I wanted to focus on the stamps and the lightning system from Chibitronics. Lawn Fawn sells a great scallop box pop-up card die, so you don't even need to think about measurements. But here you can find the measurements, in case you missed in the video. All you need:
1st piece: 10.5cm x 20cm
- long side score at 5cm, 15cm
- short side score at 5.5cm
2nd piece: 12cm x 10.5cm
- long side score at 1cm, 11cm
3rd piece: 12cm x 10.5cm
- long side score at 1cm, 11cm
- short side cut in three pieces
The next step is to create the galaxy background. I simply used my Wilted Violet, Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks and applied them to the paper. I really blended them well, so it really would look like a galaxy. But without stars, a galaxy never would look like a galaxy. I used my white and silver colors from the Gansai Tambi watercolor palette and created some splatters all over the background. Now it really looks like a galaxy.
After finishing the background I created my circuit to make the box light up. I want to make sure to create the circuit before I put the card together. It makes everything really easy and isn't a big difference compared to normal light up cards. In the video you can see how easy it is to create the box. I used copper tape, a 3V battery and white LEDs from Chibitronic. Only using this system makes it possible to bring interactive cards to another level. They always work and you don't need to worry about the LEDs lighten up. After finishing my lightning system and the box I can start to decorate the box panels. I used some acetate stripes to make the planets float.
