Welcome to Pear Blossom Press's new amazing Power Pack Mega Hop!!  I am so honored to be hopping along in support of Amanda and this truly awesome product she developed.  The Power Pack makes light up cards so simple--it includes everything you need!  I will be sharing how I build the circuit in pictures, below.  I used Rock On from Kindred Stamps for the rocker and stamped sentiment, and an kit exclusive "Rock Star" die from La-La Land Crafts.

After die cutting the "Rock Star" words from my front panel, I made a box around that same area on the card base.  This gave me an idea of where I needed to keep my circuit located and where to add the foam tape.

I decided I wanted the light to shine from behind the star, so I marked my light placement and which sides of the light were positive (+) and negative (=) for the circuit.

I did have to adjust my light placement a smidge after testing, but I merely added strips of the included double-sided copper tape to connect the positive ends of the battery and light as well as the negative ends, without overlapping the two.

I overlapped additional strips of copper tape over both ends of the light and battery to assure a completely circuit.  I tested it multiple times with my card front to assure everything was in position and worked properly.

I used a double layer of foam tape to adhere my card front, adding some to the bottom left (not shown above).

I think the card looks great without the light, but when you "PUSH HERE" the magic happens!
