Hi Jennifer! For those who can't afford this kit, there is an alternative. Use double sided tape on tin foil cut into strips to replace the copper strips. If you have access to a cheap set of LED christmas lights, you can strip them down to individual bulbs with 2 wires from each (or use a short string of bulbs). They may not be as flat but you can always do a thick front panel. There are cheap batteries sold everywhere, diy stores, dollar/euro/pound stores etc. I've done 3D box cards this way too.

[@ElizabethJohnlovefromlizi]

Hi Jennifer, I just wanted to drop a note saying how I love that after years of crafting, I watch your videos and always learn something new! I've recently started a channel and can only hope for the success you've had! you are truly an inspiration and I love seeing all your tips, many thanks and please keep sharing! :) xx

[@bjsmoker]

I ordered these stamps this morning and watching the video makes me SOOOO EXCITED to get the kit and make one for my grandsons. What a sweet idea!!! Wow!! I can hardly wait!! Thanks Jennifer - you are such a great teacher to learn from.

[@jimandpegzeleznik19]

Just love this card and can't you see the smiles on little ones faces when it lights up? Thank you for the great inspiration! (Peg)

[@lisaking-boyle2877]

Such a fantastic card! I think they would be fun for the children. Remember when there used to cards like these? At the time though there was a lot off wires and other things hidden. My point, all what's (that's) old is new again!? Such a fun card to make! I am always looking to expand my knowledge with a new technique. I sure appreciate you keeping us up to date with the newest items and techniques! Blessings. Lisa

[@kcastillo0319]

Hi, Jennifer. After all these months, I'm finally getting around to making light-up cards... great tutorial. If your kids REALLY want to make these cards, Amazon does have SMD LED lights for a good price - pennies apiece instead of several dollars for the brand name. I ordered some of the generic lights, and they work fine. You gave great instructions, and I'll be using your tips. Thanks for all the knowledge you share.

[@sharonfrench1087]

Very cute and unique. They are out of stock already. I guess the price didn't stop card makers. I love your little dragon. So cute.

[@dawnatkinson2722]

Wow..I just came across your video! I used to follow your blog over 15 years ago! Still making beautiful cards - thank you!

[@pats4779]

How cute is that. My grandkids would love it.

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

This is the first time I've seen these lights. They are cute and would be great for something special. I love the dragon set. It is so cute.

[@tammywhitley4657]

I love this. I too, have been holding back doing a light up card because of the cost, but they look so fun, I may have to break down and do it. But...winning a Chibi Tronics kit would be even better and oh so awesome. So thank you Jennifer for offering such a great give away and as always for doing a great card!!!!

[@raggiodiluc3]

Oh Jennifer! You're fantastic!!!! I'm always without words when I see your creations! This card is absolutely magic!!! Love it!

[@arebel321]

I love your card and I ordered that dragon stamp set because it reminds me of the original 1977 movie Pete's Dragon. I went and seen that movie at the drive in as a kid with my grandparents. It's one of my all time favorite movies.

[@dvcrztb]

That was very different and a lot of fun for kid or Valentine's cards.

[@susanherst9521]

I have wanted to try these lights for awhile now.....so glad you took the time to really explain how to do it. I am on my way to purchasing some. Thanks Jennifer!!! You inspire me!!!!!

[@rhandidemars8164]

These are really neat. They do seem like a ot of work but I know my grandkids will love them

[@susiehopper7005]

I have had the starter kit for about a year now and have been too intimidated to try it out. Thanks for this great video. You've inspired me to take the plunge!

[@nicolesoh2271]

Thanks, I've watched several light up card tutorials and yours is the first one that actually made sense and gave me the confidence to try it. :)

[@LilyStargazer0925]

You have great videos, Jennifer. You are very good at explaining how to make something. I still need to buy these lights, but i bought the tape and batteries already. I love the light up cards. And you color so wonderfully. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

[@ernataylor-stark4593]

I have never heard of this but it is fantastic! I don;t think I will ever do it, but it sure was fun to watch.

[@teresadoyle1396]

This is so cute Jennifer, It is an adorable stamp set.

[@normanakata2484]

This card is awesome! And, you're right about who and when you might give this unique card. Thanks for sharing this!

[@lauraguz2010]

What a great share. I’ve yet to use mine. I’ll be using them on a Christmas tree card.

[@NancyLynn]

Really cute Jennifer....thanks for the education!

[@awenbunny]

You made it look so easy! What a cute card Jen! Thanks for the video!

[@cardmakingwithcraftconfect9786]

They always go fast when you showcase them so beautifully 😍👍🏼

[@vickifinger8670]

What a great card and so much fun! I wouldn't want to make one all the time, but I would like making them for my grandsons!

[@jennifermcguireink]

yes!

[@kathypatterson4630]

I have seen these lights and wanted to try them. You make it seem really easy! Thank you.

[@MelaniesShabbyChic]

Thanks so much for sharing this idea. I've seen other cardmakers use these and I'm definitely going to get some. I think these would be great for children, my Niece is 8 and my nephew is 3, they would both get a kick out of cards like this.

[@chariot03]

So Cute!I love making light up cards,and I have used the chibi lights andthey are fantastic...but the price point is a bit high. I did some searching and found that you can buy the tiny little LED lights in many different colors. The lights are 1206 LED lights, I got mine from Amazon. They are basically the same light without the sticker, but work exactly the same way with the circuit you build with the copper tape. Once I have my circuit in place I use a piece of clear tape to hold the light down on the circuit. Jennifer, I love everything you do, you have been such an inspiration to me, Thank You!

[@terrie1226]

Oh so much fun......what a great way to make a card more special........tfs

[@lottiemcsteb9588]

Jennifer that was adorable!!! Thank you so much for your teaching spirit!😘

[@ozziereggie2957]

I have been looking at these light kits for about a year My Daughter has a pic of her and her boyfriend on Center point tower ( Australia) in the night and the back ground is of all the buildings and that makes it look like stars so I thought light kit behind it would look great. BUT as you said there pricey, in Austraila there even more BUT I think the effect is worth it all. Cutting the tape in half is a great idea didn't know you could do that.

[@trish6655]

What a wonderful explanation. I am one of these show me, as opposed to reading the directions...kind of people, now I will order new lights And have fun creating with them

[@martahoshell7934]

Awesome card! It's the kind of card that brings a smile on your face! Thank you.

[@villasteeves5711]

This is such an adorable card! Your tutorial was so well done it makes it very easy to follow! Thanks for sharing.

[@wallygrim2780]

Beautifully done Jennifer! Love your ideas. Much love from San Diego

[@68utb]

HI Jennifer -this is a fabulous card that would please any person - love the idea of light up - but oh so pricey to create - you did a wonderful job with the steps in creating and explaining - thanks for sharing!

[@StampNStitch]

I love your cards. I have been thinking about using these lights on a card for awhile. As for the lights, I found out that you can use your copic markers to color the lights.

[@rachelhood5817]

It's amazing how you can intertwine science into cardmaking!

[@STRAHAN50]

What a fascinating technique - would love to win that kit !

[@cherrib9783]

What a wonderful unique idea! Thank for sharing and the great instructions!

[@BettyLCP]

Hi Jennifer I love this card. How neat is this Thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless... Betty

[@lindagregory788]

[@All4MyAngels]

[@denisejackson-roberts9746]

I love the effect. I've been looking for something like this for awhile. There are bundles on HSN for a cheaper price. Thank you!

[@steljoan]

Such a fanny and clever birthday card !

[@amycooley5512]

You give the best instructions! Love the interactive card!

[@elaineweberg5810]

Very cute card!

[@judyestrada1446]

Cute card Jennifer! Thank you for the tutorial!

[@lindastrandquist2429]

Nice explanation of the circuits

[@funtoybox3422]

I love Chibitronics and your birthday card!

[@qwkswmr]

So excited to find your site during quarantine! Would be helpful to know measurement of copper tape for this card. Making it for grandson's 6th birthday!

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

Love these kits! I've had them on my Amazon wish list for a while now, totally agree reg the price point but such a fun idea for a special card 💗

[@janettesartmood]

Great card! 😀I just got the chibitronics kit last week, but haven't had an opportunity to make a card yet--that pesky job of mine keeps getting in the way of card making 😜I did make a test circuit and I agree, it's pretty easy to do.

[@susiemcpherson3996]

Really awesome card

[@jolie3548]

what an adorable card love it !!!

[@roehrc]

So cool, I love it! I'm looking forward to trying this out. Thanks for the great idea and tutorial!

[@sharonallison281]

Great card!!

[@cropnkathy]

Thanks for the great tutorial. Another awesome card!!

[@Sotolivas]

Extraordinary and fantastic card.VERY MUCH THANK YOU

[@ThereseArsenault]

Just a ton of AWESOME!!!! Love this.

[@kathyrudolph1553]

You've made it look very easy. I'd love to try, but I must say the light kit is pretty pricey. That, along with the extended time to create this card, ensures that the recipient is a VERY special person!

[@jennifermcguireink]

agree!

[@cheryl7476]

adorable card. Checked the pricing of the led lights, and when I get a set, it will definitely be saved for something very Special! Thanks for sharing this product with us.

[@StampNStitch]

I found out by emailing the company, that you can change the color of the lights using your copic markers. So buy the clear and make any color you want.

[@CraftynotShiftyblog]

+StampNStitch oh wow great tip!

[@twilaormsby5436]

What a delight! Thank you.

[@shonaaustin5373]

Didn't get my comment in after watching the first time. Such a cute card and love that you put the battery under the dragons belly. Due to costs and time would have to be a very special person to make this for. Can think of many uses for the lighting to add interest to many cards. Thanks for the giveaway. Hope I win.

[@lindaruschmeyer5298]

How cool is this!! Thanks for sharing.

[@MsAliciaBrady]

You can buy all of these supplies for much cheaper! You can buy a very long strip of led lights at Walmart or on Amazon for dirt cheap.

[@KristyJ55]

do they have adhesive on them?

[@pippynoodle2859]

no but you can use glossy accents and it works fine

[@time4kolene]

What a awesome card ❤️❤️❤️

[@drgndrvr]

your engineer is showing, cute, cute, cute!

[@rossy5158]

Very cute!!

[@caroll5682]

If you can I would love some ideas on making some cards for the kids teachers So I can start now for the up coming school year.

[@Damjes]

I'm not sure is cutting copper a good idea. I know current is low, but do you know resistance of this? Thickness?

[@barbaralovett939]

What fun!
