My Favorite Things/Pear Blossom Press Collaboration Featuring My Favorite EZ Lights!!

 Hello Friends!



You all know how much I love the Pear Blossom Press EZ-Lights! I use them as often as I can get away with! So when given the chance, I HAD to participate in today's My Favorite Things/Pear Blossom Press Collab Blog Hop! And I knew that I wanted to light up the headlights of the Car Pool Die-Namics and add some of the cute critters from the Better Together Stamp Set, both of which are included in this month's Better Together Card Kit!




And here's what it looks like when I press on that cutie little hedgehog:




I mean, come ON! How stinkin cute is that?! I took a few step out photos to help you see just how easy adding these EZ Lights to your projects really is! My first photo shows the assembly of the focal image die cuts. I assembled the Carpool Die-Namics, and I used a 3/8" hole punch to punch out the headlights. I traced those holes onto the assembled focal background that I created using the On The Road Die-Namics (a kit add-on) and the A2 Circle STAX Die-Namics. I also traced those holes onto the image panel (where I stamped the sentiment from the Better Together Stamp Set) and also punched them out with a 3/8" hole punch. I adhered some yellow vellum (from my stash) behind the headlights so that when the EZ Lights button is pushed, the headlights light up!




In this photo, you can see that I traced the holes onto the card base so that I knew where to place the EZ-Lights. The assembly comes with three lights, but I only needed two, so I taped the third light in the center. I adhered double sided tape to the back of the EZ-Light casing and adhered that to the card base. I placed the battery (included with the EZ Lights sets) inside the slot and away we go!


Here's a close-up of how I attached the EZ-Lights mechanism to my card base! I simply used some double sided tape and some household scotch tape to hold the lights in place - could this be any easier - and IDIOT proof?!!


Please click on through to the MFT Design Blog to be linked to the other amazing projects that some of my fellow teammates and the Pear Blossom Press design team have to share with you! I promise you'll be blown away and will be inspired to try these lights out for yourself! I've listed and linked all of the MFT and Pear Blossom Press products that I used below.

That'll do it for me today, friends! Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'll be back soon with more crafty stuff very soon, but until then, please stay safe and have a great day!
