Mimi’s Clever Piggy Bank with How You Bean? Money Add-On!

Mimi is back with another super clever design! She created a brilliant piggy bank using Bu i ld-A-Gumball Machine and some Tiny Gift Box critter add-on sets.

Mimi’s card is so clever and charming! Her “piggy bank” design features a sentiment and money images from How You Bean? Money Add-On. She arranged the bank and the money on a Sunburst Backdrop which creates interest in the background.

In addition to the Build-A-Gumball Machine, Mimi also found components in Tiny Gift Box Deer Add-On, Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On, Tiny Gift Box Elephant Add-On, Stitched Teapot and Gingerbread Friends. She cut the pieces from Ballet Slippers, Pencil Eraser and Black Licorice cardstock. To add dimension, Mimi inked the edges of the pink cardstock with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.

Here Mimi shows how all the pieces come together to create an adorable “piggy bank”!

This is such a brilliant idea, Mimi! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Catherine got really creative in making a fun congratulations card with a Monopoly theme!

Catherine created the Monopoly board with a Large Stitched Square Stackables and Stitched Square Frames. Then she used the negative pieces from Stitched Rectangle Frames to create the spaces on the board. She layered the board on a Pint-Sized Patterns Summertime striped paper, coloring the stripes on the board to match. She stamped sentiments from All the Speech Bubbles on the game spaces.

For the center of the board, Catherine used How You Bean? Money Add-On, a mouse from You Autumn Know, bowtie from Charge Me Up and a top hat from Bicycle Built for You. The sentiments from How You Bean? Money Add-On were white embossed on black cardstock to send the encouraging message!

Catherine also used these sets to make the iconic Monopoly images:
Holiday Helpers: train
Plan on It: pointer finger
Let’s BBQ: part of the spatula for the jail bars
Claire’s ABCs: “GO”
Cole’s ABCs: “?”

To create the “Free Parking” car she altered the arched window from Build-A-House Beach Add-On. She included a circle from Let’s Bokeh and a pizza topping from Pizza My Heart for the tires.

Wow, this is so clever, Catherine! Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant inspiration!
