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.

Color Hues #56

I was honored to win the Navy and Cream challenge at Color Hues with this card.  Now I'm excited to be a guest designing for the current challenge. 

I knew right away what I wanted to do with these colors.  It's not long until Valentine's Day so that's the direction I took.

I love this little gumball machine from Concord and 9th.  I turned it into a shaker with heart and round gumballs.  The background was embossed with the SU Subtle folder and of course I couldn't resist the puny sentiment.  

I'm sure there will be a wide variety of pink and red cards on the blog from the wonderfully talented design team.  Let's go take a look.  I hope they inspire you to make a card for the gallery.

Just Us Girls #570 - Word Week

Here we are in February and our host Vicki has chosen an appropriate word for this week's challenge at Just Us Girls.

I'm usually pretty good about using stamps almost as soon as I buy them but the one I used today is from last year.  I knew I wanted to use it for a valentine but had mine all made when I got it.  I ended up making several but this one is special.

It's a shaker. All the parts, except the paper, ink (Altenew) and acetate are from Concord and 9th.  It's their "I Chews You" set and being a pun girl I had to have it.  It even cuts the little door so you can see the gumball hearts coming out. 

Have you started your valentines yet?  The Design Team and our guest designer Leslie Turner have some darling ones to show you on the blog.  Why not check them out and make one for the challenge.
