HAPPY BIRTHDAY - WORKING CANDY MACHINE

Hello and welcome...
Here is today's card, a working and refillable candy machine
I made this especially for my great-niece's 8th birthday
  • with the working candy machine die set I die cut the front of the machine in a pale glittered pink card (my niece is a very girly girl :)) and backed it with white card stock
  • I cut a piece of pale pink A4 card stock in half for the front and back of the machine
  • without using the outer cutting die I placed only the candy machine die onto the pale pink card and die cut it
  • I then embossed it to add texture
  • this was then adhered to one of the pre-cut foam cores, you need two to make this machine, the second one goes onto the back of the machine
As this is a detailed procedure to make, but well worth it at the end, I'm stopping here with further instructions as  I am hoping to make a video tutorial where you will be able to see this first hand
In the meantime...
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog, I hope my designs have given a little inspiration. I read all your comments and really appreciate you leaving me a message.

WORKING CANDY MACHINE

Hi, thanks for stopping by...
Due to the lack of internet over the past few weeks I am unable to do the
'Tuesday Tutorial', and I apologise for this.
So today I am showing you 2 Working Candy Machines that I made for two gorgeous
young girls who also happen to be sisters ...


The working candy machine is designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions and, with a little imagination, there are so many designs you can make.   Be prepared to see the odd one or two pop up on my blog over the coming months! LOL.
I used the girls' favourite colours to cover the base card, and in Tilley's machine the candy is actually purple to match the purple base, although it does appear to have more of a chocolate brown look whilst Daisy's is filled with pink candy to match the pink base.  As the girls were getting these at Easter I die cut a little bunny and gave the feet, ears and eyes a little colour and adhered them to the base as if they are looking up at the candy.
These machines are also refillable too and it's quite fun turning the handle and seeing candy drop out of your greetings card!
The main items, to make the candy machine, are shown below
