Today I will be making a very special birthday card for my Godson who is turning 13. I Can’t believe he is going to be a teenager! Time sure does go fast, I remember the day he was born… ok, I’m done reminiscing 🙂
Anyway, I wanted this card to be colorful and totally different from the cards that I have done in the past. My Godson is a total “cookie monster” but I couldn’t really find any fun cookie theme, so I went with the next best thing, Gum, and a gumball machine.
Using my Cricut Expression machine and the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge, I cut out the gumball machine. Since I wanted so many different color gum balls I decided to use a 1/2″ circle paper punch instead of the cricut cartridge, it was just faster and easier and I got to use scraps of cardstock that I had too.
I assembled the entire card using a Zig 2 Way Glue pen. Oh before I forget, I also cut a clear piece of plastic to place over the top of the gumball machine so it really looked like the gumballs were in a glass bowl.

Make it a Great Day and don’t forget to leave time to Craft!
