Holiday Lights Up Hop w/$50.00 STORE CREDIT!

Hello Friends!! How are you? Forgive me for being M.I.A. I am thrilled to be back for The Holiday Lights Blog Hop with Pear Blossom Press! Today I am sharing a card that really lights up …. it’s so fun and I love how it’s interactive. Win win! Watch me and see how easy it is to make a card light up.

Today’s hop you will see lots of inspiring light up cards featuring lights from Pear Blossom Press. Grab a cup of something yummy and enjoy all the inspiration and be sure to comment as you hop, for your chance to win a $50 store credit from EACH BLOG!

This is my first time using Pear Blossom Press EZ lights and I tell you it really truly is E.A.S.Y! My mind is spinning with lots of ideas … now I just need more time! The adorable “Twinkle Little Star” stamp is from Colorado Craft Company and so perfect for a light up card. For the background I used a Simon Says Stamp“Birch Trees” stencil .

Pear Blossom Press sells a few stamp set thats work great with interactive cards but, for me it was easy to handwrite “push me” . This photos is zoomed in so my writing doesn’t look that good but, it’s not that noticeable.

Thanks to Amanda from Pear Blossom Press for giving me a nudge to finally make a light up card. It’s been on my crafty bucket list for a long time.
