BBTB2 Kitchen Challenge

We're continuing this week with our "theme challenges" at BBTB2 and our fabulous Julia has chosen "things found in the kitchen".  I'm really enjoying the freedom of creativity and variety of inspiration the team is coming up with for these themed challenges.  How about you?  I've actually done a toaster card before using From My Kitchen (click HERE ) but this time I used the toaster on Nifty Fifties along with the hot mit from From my Kitchen to create a pocket card.

I had to do a little messing around in DS to make a shadow for my toaster and also to extend the toast into a whole slice so I manipulated and welded shapes from George to do just that.  You lift out the toast to reveal the computer generated sentiment.

I cut the mit twice (once flipped) and glued them together but seem to have forgotten to do that for the toast.  Guess this was the heel of the loaf.  LOL  You can still write a personalized greeting here though, don'tcha think?

In some cases I did some trimming to get a little more dimension to the card, like the legs and knob as well as the toast from the top base cut.  My foam is placed strategically to capture the toast without much "play" and I made sure the foam on the other layers didn't allow for it to slip in the wrong place.  The retro paper is from DCWV Nana's Kitchen and I couldn't resist blinging it up a bit with adhesive beads.  I think this would be cute for a bridal shower, or even an anniversary.  However, it doesn't stand up, so I might add an easel back before sending it to someone.  If you're interested in free .cut files and directions for some of my other "kitchen themed" cards click HERE for the Mixer, HERE for the Pot, and HERE for the Coffee Pot.  And wait 
'til you see the fab offerings by the BBTB2 team!  Loads of inspiration and lots of fun going on at BBTB2.  Can't wait to see what you come up with.
