Get some batteries and an LED. Test.

Stack and tape the batteries.

Bend the LED legs to almost make contact with the pos/neg sides of the battery, and tape onto picture.

Make a housing unit to cover it all, and attach to picture.

Add any further designs on outside, and write, "press me" on light unit.

Cut a piece of card stock to the width of your card and 2 1/2 times the height.

Make 2 fold lines each the height of the card.

The rest is the bottom flap to make the card stand, cuz you wanna show this creation off correctly.

Glue picture on as shown.

Cut little piece off from leftover card stock to make flap lock. Glue on.

Add inside greeting.

All Done!

I made a box to put mine in.

My Mom will be the lucky recipient.

It'll be displayed on the China hutch, next to the other(boring) cards.

Please vote for me!
