Interactive Light Up Mermaid Card Featuring Brand New Hero Arts Release

Hello Crafters! How are you? I hope your January’s going well! Today I have a fun light-up mermaid card to share with you! The mermaid is from a really cute new release from Hero Arts called Packed With Love. I’ll have another video later in the month sharing more of that release (although it’s linked in the supply list at the bottom of this post if you want to check it out now) but for today we’re creating this interactive card. And to make it even more special I used one of the rainbow fade LEDs. You can see in the video that when you press the sentiment the balloon lights up and cycles through different colours. It’s really cool!!

Have you ever made a light up card? I’d love to know! Let me know in the comments!
