    How to Create Light Up Cards in an Easy Way

    October 18, 2025 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here, and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today, sharing two cards using the Pear Blossom Press One Light- 2 Pack. These lights make adding fun light-up elements to your cards easy. No circuits involved!

Since the light and switch are on the same piece, you need to work out where both will be placed on your card. MERRY + BRIGHT STAR I started off by die cutting the star (on my card panel) that I want lit…
