Hello my Stamping Friends! Welcome to the Scrappy Tails and Pear Blossom Press Collab Hop! Today, we’re sharing lots of whimsical cards that will really brighten your day. They feature dreamy new stamps and dies from Scrappy Tails, and with a little help from Pear Blossom Press, they all light up! Be sure to hop along with us for lots of inspiration; our designers have come up with some stunning cards...
I am making a slimline night time scene with hot foiled stars that light up! I am in love with the Fairy Botanicals stamp set that I am using today. The large toad stool images make me so happy! I have made a video showing you how to put this card together. Since hot foiling plates are new to the Scrappy Tails shop, then it might be new to you too. So, I will show you how to do that in this video as well as how EASY it is to use the EZ-Lights from Pear Blossom Press. Take a look...
If you can not see the video up on this screen, you can also view it here.
Now it is time to hop along and see what the next designer did with this product mash up. Tanna LoHouse has a video showing you her card as well, watch it right here.

Now let's take a closer look at the card I made. First let's take a look at the card with out the lights on.
Look at the super pretty hot foiled stars in the night sky. To do this I used the new Fairy Dust Star Swirl plate and Aura foil. I did this over an ink blended background on Heffy Doodle White Cardstock (the best card stock for hot foiling in my opinion). This card stock is so smooth, it is also a great card stock to use when coloring with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. Which is what I used to color in my images.
The other products I used to set the scene for this card are the Slimline Every Day Borders 2, to make my grassy hills and mushroom tops.
The stones on this card were die cut using a new slimline cover plate die; Slimline Cobblestone Background Die. I used one of the largest stone to stamp the word push on. Under this stone is the EZ-Lights switch and when pushed the stars light up.
The EZ-Lights have 3 lights on the end, so I pierced a hole in three of the open stars on my hot foiled background and lined up the EZ-Light with that hole. All you need to secure these into place is tape. Then insert the battery in to the EZ-Light base, tape that into place and you are good to go!
To mount your card front to a card base you will need thick foam tape or double up your foam tape to allow enough room for the battery and switch pack of the EZ-Lights. They really are that EZ to use. If you like the EZ-Lights you will also like the Halo Lights, which are new and AMAZING too!
I saved a few pieces to add to the inside of my card.
You just have to add a little something on the inside of your card when the outside is that awesome (if I don't say so myself!) hehehe.
Make sure you hop along and get more inspiration from the other designers on this hop and leave comments as you go for a chance to win either a gift certificate to Scrappy Tails or to Pear Blossom Press! If you missed a stop along the hop you can find all of the stops right here:
