GUMBALL MACHINE CARDHello friends! Today I’m sharing a card that I made with a new Gumball Machine cutfile from Craft Fix Designs. This is one of the sweetest and cutest cutfiles I have ever worked with! I used just plain white card stock to cut the backing piece, a patterned paper from Echo Park Paper from my February Hip Kit to do the main machine and the reverse for the glass bowl of bubble gum, and then gold card stock for the metal parts. For the card itself I used a wood grain paper from my {Not} Just for Boys Kit Club stash and white card stock. After I cut and assembled the machine I fussy cut little circles from the same Echo Park patterned paper for some random gum balls. I also used some pop dots to pop some up in the glass bowl. I made a small outline on the left of all the parts of the machine in either black or white for a little something extra, splattered with watered down white acrylic paint, added some epoxy dots here and there, tied a blue ribbon around my card, and finished with my sentiment.
I love the way this turned out and I can’t wait til I make something else with this super cute cutfile! Here are some links to all the companies I discussed above! Happy shopping! Craft Fix Designs Hip Kit Club Echo Park Paper {Not} Just for Boys Kit Club

Shaker ElementHello all! I am currently working on a mini album of a snow play trip we took in January. I wanted to put all kinds of different elements into it so I thought it would be a perfect time to add a shaker box. So first off I decided to use a snowflake cut file from The Cut Shoppe for this element and the first thing I did was cut some of the inside elements out to make the visible area bigger. Then I glued a piece of scrap page cover to the snowflake. I glued a bigger piece and once it was dry I then cut it down to just my shaker area. I then cut my foam dots in half to box it in.
So my snowflake is ready for my dodads! First I placed my snowflake on top of where I wanted it and took a mental note of where the shaker part would be. Then I placed a little pile of sequins and confetti where it will go.
I then pulled all those little backings off my foam dots and placed my snowflake where is supposed to go and viola, I had a beautiful little shaker snowflake! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, please let me know in the comments if there is something you would like to learn for scrapbooking!
