Gumball Goodness!

/

Have you had a chance to play with the super fun and cute Gumball Greetings stamp set yet? I love this set as it makes the cutest kids birthday cards…or if I am being honest, what full sized human would not love to get one of these cheerful cards in the mail? I know I would!

This bundle can be found in the January to June Catalogue and it has endless possibilities! You can also add the Gumball Machine Shaker Domes and Frosted Beads Assortment to this cute product bundle. For my card below I turned my gumball machine into a traditional shaker card!

The base of the card is one of my absolute favorite colors, Coastal Cabana, and I layered on top a Flirty Flamingo striped DSP from the Hostess DSP collection, Pattern Party. I have gotten so much use out of this paper stack. It has definitely been one of my top Host picks!

I cut a piece of Basic White as the main panel and used the Gumball Machine dies to create the cut out for the shaker part. The base and top of the gumball machine is stamped on Flirty Flamingo card stock with the coordinating ink color and then die cut. I love the little details in this die set including the opening at the bottom where a gumball could roll out and the embossed details in the machines’s mechanism. I used some Silver Foil paper to cut that out. The dies even cut a little snit where you could add in your coin! So brilliant!

I also love how the die set includes a little die cut strip of hearts. You can use this as a border accent as I have here or to even die cut some bitty baby hearts to add into your shaker.

The easiest way to create a shaker card is to use our Window Sheets and the Adhesive Strips for a perfect seal around your shaker window!

I cut a piece of Basic White to lay behind the shaker window and stamped the gumballs and hearts from the stamp set in Gorgeous Grape and Pool Party. I then added a pinch of the Frosted Beads inside!

The sentiment was stamped twice, once in the base color of Gorgeous Grape and cut with our Layering Circle Dies. The second time was Coastal Cabana and I hand trimmed the word ‘sweetest’ and popped it up on a Dimensional to give the sentiment a fun touch. Adding a little coordinating Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon behind also helps it pop.

And of course no card is complete with out BLING! Our Basic Rhinestones were the perfect addition here!

The Gumball Greetings includes great elements to complete the inside of your project as well. I added a few Coastal Cabana stripes to the Basic White layer. The sentiment is stamped in Gorgeous Grape and layered on a circle of Flirty Flamingo!

And just in case you missed my Artisan Design Team project from January—here it is again! I created two other cute cards with this fun bundle! You can see that the gumball machine is colored with Stampin’ Blends and uses the Gumball Machine Shaker Dome!

I hope you are inspired to give this fun bundle a creative go! I know I have enjoyed playing around with this fun bundle!
