I haven’t had the time for the last couple of years, but I made letterpress Christmas cards not too long ago:

Being a ‘light freak’…I LOVE your cards. Simply amazing! I did make some foiled ones…but only about 10 of them. We don’t have many people left on our Christmas card list anymore. I just posted a photo in another existing thread; Hot Foil Stamping

Yes, I think that’s the switch I used. Honestly, I just browsed through the dusty bins at that store until I found something I liked. It’s neat to be able to actually see and compare stuff like that in person. I wanted to use an on/off switch instead of a momentary one, but they were too bulky for the cards.

The LEDs were just loose ones–I had to solder them to the copper tape. The front panel of the card is popped up on foam tape to hide all the wiring and stuff.

I used several types of inks: some dye inks in various colors for the color layering, blending inks for the sky, and Copic markers for the house.

Thank you. Yes, it’s very addictive…which is a sure sign that I’ll just foil my brains out, then burn out on it for a while. :relaxed:
