We’re all featuring a super cool product called EZ-Lights from my friend, Amanda Stevens – owner of Pear Blossom Press. We have a giveaway too, so be sure to read to the end for details.

The Night Sky

Off and on over the last year, I’ve looked at different ways to create light up cards… A lot of what I saw seemed really time consuming and left me abandoning the idea “for another time”. Well, now that I have EZ-Lights, there’s no excuse not to make a light-up card! If you can make a shaker card, you can make a light-up card with EZ-Lights.

I met Amanda Stevens, owner of Pear Blossom Press and creator of EZ-Lights, at Creativation this past January. I mentioned that I’d been wanting to try her light packs (which I may have called by another brand name… whoops!) and she whipped out a sample and handed it to me. OOOH!!! Yippee!!!! 

The only problem I have is that I don’t have a lot of stamp sets that really lend themselves to the light-up treatment. Or, at least that’s what I thought. After rifling through my stash, I started to think outside the box and decided that ANY card can be a light-up card! It doesn’t have to be a cutesy card that has the obvious place for lights. Why not add them into a background with a beautiful floral arrangement? That left me with some ideas for the future.

For today, I thought I’d create a night scene using a favorite cover die from Waffle Flower. I added in some small star diecuts to create the space for the lights, and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

The other thing I didn’t have was a “press here” stamp. I decided to cut out the small sentiment in a circle so it could serve as that “button”. I figure I can also add a little post it that says “press here” so the recipient knows what to do and can be surprised.

Remember when I said it was super easy to set up? Well, here’s what it looks like on the inside. See how it’s just like a shaker card with the foam bumpers? Really – you can do this!
