WELCOME TO FANTASTIC FRIDAY & ANOTHER FUN FOLD PROJECT TO SHARE

Today’s Fun Fold card is a Triple Panel Shaker Card. The trickiest part was ensuring that each of the three layers, where the shaker domes sit, align.

This is the last Gumball Greetings Bundle project this week.

The card base measures 11-1/4″x 5-3/4″. It was scored, along the 11-1/4″ side; at 3-3/4″and 7-1/2″.

After stamping, cutting and assembling the one complete shaker gumball machine, I used it to position the places to die cut the dome shape on the front and inside card flaps.

When these spaces were cut, pieces of the new In Colour DSP sheets measuring 5-5/8″x 3-5/8″ were cut and adhered to card front and the inside layer. After the glue dried, the dome die was positioned inside the space and cut. (See below)

The front of the card feature three ‘I Chews You’ sentiments that were die cut using the smallest of the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I used 6″ lengths of three of baker’s twine, from the 2022 – 2024 In Colour™ Baker’s Twine Pack, to tie this bow and attached it to the card front using a Mini Glue Dot.

For this inside layer, I made a Parakeet Party gumball machine.

As you can see – three more square die cut sentiments in Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet and Tahition Tide.

The central layer is where the complete gumball machine shaker card was adhered. I used Tahitian Tide cardstock for the machine.

The smaller gumball machine image was stamped on the envelope and inside the card.

This was such a fun card to make, although a little challenging.

After a week of Gumball Greetings projects, it is time to move on to a new bundle tomorrow.

Until then, happy stamping.

THURSDAY CAME & WENT BUT I’M BACK ON TRACK

Well, Wednesday night and Thursday were not what I expected. Life can sometimes be a littlie complicated and you just have to prioritise. So, yesterday, family first and back to creating today.

My 3D Thursday project is here for you now.

I decided to start using the new 2022 – 2023 In Colours.

I made a simple gift box to hold a Mini Jam Jar filled with large Skittles.

The gift box and gumball machine were made using the new Parakeet Party A4 cardstock. The dome was made using Basic White cardstock.

The gumball machine images were stamped using the Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. After they were stamped, the three components were then die cut.

I used all of the five new In Colours to stamp the gumballs in the ‘dome’.

I used a piece of Orchid Oasis cardstock to cut a large circle using the Sytlish Shapes Dies. Then I used the dots folder from the Chexks & Dots Embossing Folders.

After assembling the gumball machine, it was placed on the embossed circle using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added more dimensionals under the circle before adding it to the front of the gift box.

Each element of the greeting was stamped, using Sweet Sorbet ink, on a piece of Basic White cardstock. These were then cut individually so they could be seperated and layered up on the front of the gift box.

Two lengths of Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon were ties in a double bow and secured to the front of the gift box using a Mini Glue Dot.

A Mini Jam Jar, filled with large Skittles, was placed in the gift box.

The sentiment is so cute.

It has been fun using other products with the Gumball Greetings Bundle. I love the versatiliity and coordination of all the Stampin’ Up!® products in current catalogues.

My Fun Fold Friday project will be posted soon.

Until then, happy stamping.

WEDNESDAY IS A WONDERFUL DAY TO SHARE A THIRD PROJECT!

This time, it is a project that I made for the Colour INKspiration #119. I am enjoying being part of the Design Crew.

This colour palette is so sweet – thank goodness I am featuring the Gumball Greetings Bundle this week. It is prefectly sweet way to showcase these colours.

May be an image of text that says 'Fresh Freesia #119 Flirty Flamingo Magenta Madness Pool Party Gold COLOUR NksPIRATION SPIRATION CHA CHALLIINGES'

I decided to create a slimline card for this project.

I started by stamping three of the small gumball machines using Versamark on Basic White cardstock. After sprinkling gold embossing powder, from the Metallic Stampin’ Emboss Powders™, across the three gumball machines and shaking off any excess I heat embossed the powder.

Before die cutting the three small gumball machines; I used the Fresh Freesia, Flirty Flamingo, Magenta Madness and Pool Party Stampin’ Write Markers™ to colour most of the gumballs in each machine.

I prepared the slimline card by cutting a cardbase from Thick Basic White A4 cardstock measuring 8-1/2″x 7″ and scoring the 7″ side at 3-1/2″.

I scored three lines on the bottom edge of the card front, at 1/2″, 3/4″ and 1″ from that bottom edge.

Using a 8-1/2″x 2-3/8″ piece of Gold Shimmer Vellum, I created this shiny gold background for the gumball machines.

The sentiment was also stamped and heat embossed in gold. I used two of the new banner dies, from the Stylish Shapes Dies, for the sentimment and a gold accent.

I tied a gold double bow using the Simply Elegant Trim bundle and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot. Finally, a few Gilded Gems were added to the card front.

It was fun using these colours with the Gumball Greetings Bundle.

Make sure you check out the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see all the projects made for this challenge. Even better, you should join us. I look forward to seeing what you make.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I think my project will involve gumballs.

Until then, happy stamping.
