Gumball Machine Shaped Birthday Card | SVGCuts

 Hey Everyone!

Today I have a  couple of cute cards I made for some upcoming birthdays. I thought it would be fun to use this file from An Afternoon at Auntie Elaine's SVG Collection (gumball machine file) and turn it into a shaker card. I had never done a shaker card before and thought it would be cool!

How cute did this card turn out?! I absolutely love it!
Can't wait to make some more shaker cards!!!
SO fun and interactive, I'm sure the kids will love it!

The file for this card comes from SVGCuts An Afternoon at Auntie Elaine's SVG Collection.

To create the shaker portion of the card, I used a foam layer that I cut using the Silhouette Cameo. TIP: To cut foam I just set my speed to the lowest setting and my blade to the deepest setting and used a double cut. Worked really well but didn't cut all the way through. So I slowly pulled away from the foam shape around the cut lines and it tore really easily! Next time I think I will try doing another double cut without moving or unloading the mat.

For this card, before gluing together the back layer of the gumball machine I stamped it with a cute stamp from Craftin Desert Divas - Happy Celebrations

For this next card, I used buttons.
I always have way too many laying around, this was the perfect way to use some!

This stamp comes form Craftin Desert Divas - Simply Said

This time I stamped the card on the inside of the card and created a window by using two acetate sheet layers and sandwiching the foam in between them.

Hope you've enjoyed these super "sweet" gumball-shaped shaker cards!

Vintage Valentine Mailbox | Valentine's Day Classroom Treats | SVGCuts

I almost completely overlooked it, but I just realized last night that a year ago today I started this whole blogging journey! Wow, can't believe it a year has already gone by... Happy Blog Anniversary to me, lol!

Today I want to share with you the Valentine's Day treats I made for the kid's classmates and teachers. Mailboxes to fill with goodies for the Teachers and a little treat for the kids!

For the pink version of the Mailbox I made for my daughter's teacher, here are the ingredients I used...

The file comes from SVGCuts For My Valentine SVG Kit.  I love this file... so easy to put together! Cut with the Silhouette Cameo. The Paper is from DCWV Garden Party Stack. Stamps are alphabet letters Studio G. The Flair Button comes from Paper Play Studio... these awesome little beauties are made by SVGCuts designer, one and only Tamara!

For the kiddies in the class, I made a tag for a roll of bubble gum the says "you Blow me away!" That saying comes from Lettering Delights Love Pets SVG Collection. 

    

Here is my blue version of the Mailbox for my son's Teacher.  Same files, the same treats, the only difference is this paper collection comes from DCWV's Gilded Orchard Stack, and I used the Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio Tool (Round 25) to create the gold button on the lid!

Thanks for coming by today! I hope you like my treat ideas and maybe even inspired to make your own! 

Have a great Valentine's week!
