Sending My Love --using the pressure sensitive conductive plastic and LED sticker

Hi, crafty friends!

Fall is full swing now. The air is clear and the sky is getting high!
I made two shy mice scene in the card.  

I hope you feel quiet and warm air from my card.

Have you picked the pressure sensitive conductive plastic for your project?

It is a wonderful material for making DIY pressure sensors. 

You can add a fade in and fade out effect to your project. 

It's an easy and fun technique, you can enjoy it just by putting a piece of this sheet between the paper switch and the battery! 

I am sharing my project. When I press the sentiment his apple glow and then her berries shine.

1.Supplies

・Top panel; 4.25x5.5 inch  ;I made a background on this panel.

I smashed some ink on the plastic sheet and add the mist with sprayer then put the watercolor paper there. 

I learned this technique in the online class by Jenn Shurkus. 

・Circuit panel; 4.25x5.5 inch

・Card base; 4.25x11 inch 

・Battery folder; I used the foam core board 3mm thick, made a hole for the battery

・Copy paper; I used this for the flap of the switch

・Pressure Sensitive Conductive Plastic (Velostat/Linqstat)

・LED stickers; Red and white

・Copper tape

・Cell battery CR 2025

・Two mice parts from BB Harvest Mouse ;My Favorite Things

・Foam strip tape; thickness 3mm

2.Circuit

This circuit is very simple. I connect the positive side of the battery and the positive pads of the lights. Then I connect the negative side of the battery and the negative pads of the lights.  That's all!

I made the switch flap with the copy paper. 

I stick it on the backside of the top panel when I assembled them. So the flap does not need to be thick.

I added the conductive fabric tape on the contact point of the switch. 

They can help to make the nice connection of the circuit and battery.

I sanded the Pressure Sensitive Conductive Plastic (Velostat/Linqstat) under the battery. 

When you press on this material, the resistance goes down depending on how hard you press. So this can make a wonderful effect.

You can check this fade in and fade out effect in below.

3.Assemble

I stuck the pressure sensitive plastic sheet on the backside of the battery holder.

I set the battery holder and the stuck the foam strip tape as the guide and the stopper of the battery holder. Then I put the foam strips on the all the edge of the circuit panel.

I set the top panel on the circuit panel. And stick it on the card base.

All done!

I share more projects using this pressure sensitive conductive plastic to you from my past post.
