Today is a big post, I had so much fun making all of these slot machines! Pink and Main have this adorable set called Jackpot. With some scratch off sticker paper from Pink and Main these are just so fun to make!
For all three I stamped the machines first and then did some coloring. I used that with a combo of other stamps from some St.Patrick sets I have. The shaker poker bits are from Buttons and Galore and the lights for the triple 7 card are from Chibitronic.
For my March birthday card I did a little masking to add this cute pot of gold to the top.
A tip when working with inked backgrounds is leave a space somewhere that doesn't have ink. The adhesive sticks better without ink beneath it.
The gold detail on the machine was done with a sharpie.
For this one I was going for a more vintage casino feel. Steel machines, red details and a little gold. I love the little playing cards and poker bits in the machine. This one has three bells behind the scratch off. A fun fact is that three bells used to be the big win on the vintage machines. At the time you would win ten nickels. It's so funny how much money has changed since then.
All of the cards were meant to focus on birthdays for my birthday hop. Plus it was my Mother-In-Law's birthday and I knew she would love this, especially with the vintage vibes.
What better way to make a Vegas card than to have it light up with flashing lights. As you can see I used the blink special features light from Chibitronics. Then I added in three lights to light up behind the "Jackpot" screen.
I made the letters behind the screen by stamping them on vellum and than using adhesive to put them on the back of the card. Then when you take the small magnet coin and place it on insert coin it activates the switch in the circuit to turn it on and light up the jackpot sign. Such a fun set!
