Renata‘s birthday card is full of colorful nostalgic fun featuring a bright red gumball machine!


Renata die cut the Let’s Celebrate Backdrop from Really Rainbow 6×6 paper and layered it on a panel of white Textured Dot cardstock from the neutral pack. She also added shiny stars cut from holographic cardstock. Once the cheery background was ready, she created a shaker Build-A-Gumball Machine!


Renata stacked and glued several layers of the gumball frame before added a solid layer of acetate the final frame in holographic cardstock. Then she cut another solid layer of the gumball globe from white cardstock. She inked it with Kiddie Pool ink and stamped and colored a Magic Messages sentiment. And then she filled stacked layers with Prisma Glitter and rainbow-colored gumballs before attaching the stamped piece to the back to seal the shaker.

She assembled the gumball machine with Tomato cardstock and more holographic cardstock before securing it to the prepared card front!

Thank you for sharing this cheery birthday card, Renata! I love it so much!

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 Build-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!

First Saturday with Megan {7.6.24} Megan’s Clever Christmas Themed Build-A-Gumball Card


Megan is back with another creative card design to inspire you! She gets started on her Christmas cards with a fun take on Build-A-Gumball Machine!


Megan filled the gumball machine with frosty snowballs to the delight of her Build-A-Snowman character! For the background she began by inking with Distress Oxide ink in Peacock Feathers, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire. Then she added a Forest Border layered with a Stitched Hillside Border. And then she white embossed the Merry Messages greeting on the background!


The snowman has a colorful scarf, and mittens and is so happy he found all those snowballs!

I love this whimsical and unique take on the Build-A-Gumball Machine set! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with us, Megan!
