I was participating in a card swap with a few friends using a theme. The theme was geometric shapes. I went blank in trying to figure out what shapes to use what to do with them, but my daughter gave me the gumball machine idea and mentioned Mini Mouse, so off to Pinterest I went to look at gumball machines and found one that was Mini Mouse.
I used many punches and dies to complete this card. The bottom is a flower pot turned upside down. A friend gifted me with several of these die cuts, so I used them for the base of this machine. I found dotted patterned paper in my stash to cover it. I punched circles with a circle punch and then stamped faces using a Lawn Fawn stamp; many have faces so I just chose one. The base and top of the globe is from an oval punch. I traced an arc and cut it out for the top and the rest was used for the bottom. The ears were cut from circle dies. The bow is an SU die and I added vellum to have something easy to fasten it to the hat.
I really enjoyed pulling out all sorts of punches and dies to create this card. The slimline die used to cut the red layer is Picket Fence Studio and was a gift through the Pay it Forward thread. Thanks so much as I have used that die a few times and the envelopes were used to mail the swap cards.
