The Yeti makes another appearance here! This is a birthday card for my good friend from college, Stephen. The card is made of layers of construction paper, lovingly cut with xacto knife. The heart lights up via a basic circuit made of conductive fabric tape, LED light, and coin cell battery. The light turns on when the card is pressed in the appropriate spot.
I really enjoyed being able to make a more polished version of what I learned in class. The basic version I made in class worked, but wasn't finished looking. For this card, I set up all the circuitry on one piece of paper, with a small hole cut to see the LED. I allowed some space between this page, and the page on top and marked the spot to press to complete the circuit.
This is a more finished looking, and exciting greeting card than I've ever made before. My friend Stephen was sufficiently impressed to make me feel proud - he played with his card out at the bar all night and showed all our other friends.
