Hello Crafters! How are you? If you follow me on social media, you’ll know that I recently joined the Chibitronics design team (if you don’t already, you can follow me on Instagram HERE). If you’re not familiar with them, they produce a huge range of circuit products, perfect for creating light-up cards! Their little lights are sooo tiny, they’re perfect for cardmaking, and the fact that you create your own circuits makes them so flexible – you can make them to be any size with as many or few lights in a huge range of colours!! For today’s card I decided to create a really simple light up birthday card using a circuit with only one light. This is my first time creating a light-up card and if you’re new to it too I thought it would be fun to learn together! So I chose the cute Party Animals stamp set from Lawn Fawn and decided it would be super cute if the candle lit up on the cake.

I haven’t created a circuit since High School but it was surprisingly easy – it even has a paper switch so that when you press on the balloon the light turns on! It was very satisfying, and all of the elements are self adhesive so very easy too! I take you step-by-step through how to build the circuit in the video, but I thought I’d also include a picture here in case that helps you to create your own!

Check out the video below to see how to create this project yourself, then scroll to the bottom of the post to find links to the supplies you will need to create it!
