In this project, I cut out 2-piece of cardboard from the box flaps. With the same length.

Covered them with blue tissue papers.

Cut some design.. and added the pic of my mom.

I made a little hole on the center so I can put the LED.

Remember : The longer wire is the positive side and the short one is the negative.

I taped the picture to lock it in place..

I Opened the card then taped the back of the battery holder using double sided tape. Facing the back of the firstpage of the card where the picture is.

Lighting up the LED :

Remember : the positive and negative side of Conductive tapes must not touch each other so we need to be careful as we go on or else it will create a short circuit and our project wont light up... this sounds complicated but its not I swear!! Just put a conductive tape on each side you can bend each leg of the LED just remember which of the side is + and -.

Just follow the picture and you're set!! Anyways... going back to the project.

I put a conductive tape on the positive side of the LED but on all the way through the Battery holder's positive side. I just make sure that the conductive tape will reach the positive side of the battery when I closed the card. (This will serve as a press here to light up)

The cut another conductive tape and stick it all the way to the negative side of the battery holder...

Test your card out!! And see it glow!!

If its okay.. then cover the leg of the LED. Make sure you dont touch the back or the connection of the positive will black out. Just be careful.

I put a "click me" from a piece of cardboard then stick it under the picture so that they'll know where to press..

And I also added a shout out from the front saying :
"내 엄마, 사랑해" which means My Mom, I love you!!

Then inside the card I put half of a typewriting
To cover the negative tape (not covering the battery holder.)

Then I wrote my message for my wonderful mom......
And thennn you're set!!!! Off you go! Thats it!!
