Time Out #306 - Pick Two

It's time for a Pick Two Challenge at Time Out.


You can pick any two or more of the words to make your card. I picked red, pink, heart and aperture.


The gumball machine is from Concord and 9th, a set called I Chews You.  I turned it into a shaker using the die that comes with the set and plenty of foam tape.  I'm not going to explain how this goes together except to tell you it was stamped separately in Altenew Heartbeat ink, die cut and placed on a panel partially embossed with the SB Cross My Heart folder so I had room for the sentiment. The circle and heart dies are part of the set and they were cut from red and pink scraps.  I also added some Sugar Jelly Hearts from Trinity. 

Now it's your turn to pick two and make a card.  You could win a $25 store credit from our sponsor Lawn Fawn.

I'm also sending my card to Color Hues for their red and pink challenge.

I loved gumball machines when I was a kid and I believe a penny would get you a piece of gum or, if we were lucky, a tiny charm! This charming card brought back fun memories!

Bobby what a fabulous card with a gumball machine! I have an old gumball machine die from MFT that I have never used and you have inspired my to go find it. Your sentiment is also super punny! Well done! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues! xo

Bobby, If I pass a gumball machine I have to stop and get one. The sentiment is a hoot! All in all a darling card! Thanks for playing at Color Hues.

A super happy, fun card Bobby with a parfect embossed background! I love it and of course a shaker card is always a winner for me! A great take for our challenge! I must look through my stash as I'm sure I have a gumball machine somewhere unloved! Thanks for the inspiration! HOpe you have a good day! :)

Bobby, I love your gumball machine and adding those transparent hearts to the shaker piece adds a wonderful touch of shimmer and shine. That sentiment is fabulous and I love the repeated hearts with that background embossing folder.
