Vending Machine Fun

Happy Easter everyone! 
I hope you are enjoying this special day. 

I have a very cool project to share with you today...a Vending Machine! Made out of paper! 
Regina, the owner of The Cutting Cafe, makes the coolest files. I'd tell you this was one of my favorites, but I think I say that about almost all of her files. 


This was CRAAAZZZYY easy to make! And oh so much fun. This is the kind of project that I get all nerdy about...you know...squealing and clapping my hands. PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who does this! 


Not only did I cut this Vending Machine file out with my Cricut Explore, I created my own butterfly embellishment using Design Space (the Cricut Explore software). 
I just picked a solid butterfly that I liked cut out 3 different sizes, stamped them, crinkled them up, glued them together and then wrapped a little bakers twine around them. 
The leaves are cut from a die...Leafy Flourish from Die-Namites. 


To make the contents box, I used clear cardstock from Paper Basics. (Thank you Regina for telling me about Paper Basics!)
I cut 2 of the boxes, broke one of them apart and embossed the squares. It's kinda hard to tell by the pictures, but it looks awesome! 


 


The beautiful pink flowers are from Kraft Supplies 4 U and the crown charm is from Micheal's. 



I plan on filling my Vending Machine full of pretty pink peanut M&M's OR even better yet...pink almond M&M's! I am still deciding on weather or not I will keep it or give it away...I'm feeling kind of selfish to be honest! 

I hope you have enjoyed today's project. Be sure to stop by The Cutting Cafe on the 7th for the Design Teams inspirational post. If you leave a comment on the DT post you will be entered in a chance to win 3 free cutting files of your choice.
