S uper fun shaker gumball machine card.
Using basic white thick cardstock, cut card base at 8 1/2" X 5 1/2". Score at 4 1/4", fold in half, and burnish the edge with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Real Red cardstock 5 1/4" X 4". Adhere centered to front of card base.
Cut a piece of whisper White cardstock 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". Set aside
Cut another piece of Real Red 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". Using Memento tuxedo black ink stamp the gumball machine base and the top cap to the tank. Then using coordinating dies cut out shapes.
take your whisper white cardstock piece and the white gumball dome piece that was precut for you. Place your red gumball machine base centered on the white cardstock, then put down your precut white dome piece and then the red cap. Make sure complete gumball machine is centered and fits on the white cardstock piece.
Now carefully take away your red gumball machine pieces leaving the white precut tank in it's spot. take a pencil and draw a light line at the top, bottom, and sides of the tank piece. Now using the coordinating tank die, cut out the tank hole being very careful to align the die centered and straight. TIP: The longer flat edge is the bottom and the shorter flat edge is the top.
Take your shaker dome and on the top (bubbled up side) peel off adhesive around the dome, set dome on table.
Take your white cardstock with the dome hole and place over the top of the dome adhearing to back of white cardstock,
Now flip over your dome and load it up with frosted beads. Peel the adhesive backing off and using the piece of white cardstock from the dome hole create a back to keep your beads in the dome. I actually had to use both dome pieces to cover my back fully.
Now adhere the white cardstock centered on the real red piece of cardstock on the card front. Now glue down your gumball base and top.
Take your white precut square, stamp the sentiment "I chews you" on it, and adhere to the front of the gumball machine.
***Variation-you have the choice here to show off the details of the gumball base stamp and use a tag adhered off to the side with your sentiment.
If you choose to, you can open the door of the gumball machine and using multi liquid glue make a few dots and then adhere some beads like they are falling out of the machine.
Stamp the inside with your sentiment with real red ink, and you have completed your card!
