When someone tells you to make something "cute" it opens the door to so many opportunities. Well, that is what Robyn said at My Pink Stamper. I decided to use the Doodlecharms cartridge because everything is so adorable.
- I layered yellow metallic paper with polka dotted paper by Debbie Mumm. I used the Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss all the circles.
- I criss-crossed the sheer polka dotted ribbon and tied a button with blue embroidery floss in the center.
- I cut the gumball machine from Doodlecharms at 2 1/2". The gumballs are various small buttons. I used foam dots to adhere to paper.
- The "Sweet" is stamped in orange and layered on the yellow metallic paper.
I definitely think it is "cute" and ready for a child. I am thinking about bringing some of my cards to the local hospital wing ~ Pediatric units or a nursing home. After reading about Robyn's Random Act of Kindness it made me think of what more can I do to help my community. I am sure those sick kids or lonely seniors would love to receive something special.

ReplyDeleteThis card is super cute.... I love gum-ball machines...my sister had one when I was little and I loved putting the pennies in it to see what color would come out. Brings back old memories. Thanks so much for sharing.
