Happy Birthday, Hope You Have A Ball

 Hey there friends and fellow crafters, LeeAnn here with another fun project using a stamp and die set from The Makers Movement. I've been having so much fun with their sets and realized I had not finished putting this card together yet, so last night while in a crafty zoom with friends I was able to get it done. 

So, green is one of my two favorite colors and when I saw the Gumball Machine stamp/die set, I knew I had to have it, and it would be great to make to look like my own Gumball Machine that is in my Craftroom. 

To make this card I started out by cutting all the die pieces from Accent Opaque 110lb white cardstock. I thien used my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers GY7 and WG4 to color the pieces for the Green and Grey. 

From there I also cut from the double side Adhesive Foam and 2 panels of Acetate. I always make a sandwich of acetate/foam/acetate with my shaker bits inside of it, so that I know I get a good seal. With the Makers Movement Acetate there is a blue film on it so that it does not get messed up before use, I left the blue on one side of the back panel to give the illusion of the glass ball. 

I used Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue to adhere my pieces together, this is a white glue that dries clear and is quite strong, It does not take much to hold tight and so with that a little bit goes a long way, which wish my crafty budget that helps tremendously. 

I found a beautiful darker green cardstock in my stash for for the layering of not only the sentiment but also my card panel layer, and then the dotted paper layer is from an MFT 6x6 paper pad called Party Patterns.

The enamel dots are also from my stash and I believe they are from an Echo Park Collection, I'll see if I can find them and have them linked below.
