Did you know you can put cheap plastic wrap between two piece of paper and use a hot iron to fix them together. I found this wonderful blog that talked about ways to glue paper together. I was really dreading gluing it all together. Everything was cut using my Silhouette Curio. I used Silhouette Studio to design the silver snow globe and the cut for the top paper layer. The Jullibean Soup circle comes with adhesive around the circle, so it was not necessary to stick it through the first layer of paper and glue everything down.
I found some nice light blue glitter paper at JoAnn’s and had the silver paper left over from last year. I found the snowflake paper at Hobby Lobby. It would give me the blue sky I wanted behind the snowman scene on the front and white on the inside. It was light blue on one side and white on the other side. I hope the shading on the snowman gives it some dimension.Īt Office Depot, I found dual color cardstock. I probably spend too much time making snowflakes, but I was having so much fun. Since the Snowman were coming together, I could now design the inside of the card. What was I going to do, paint all the snowmen? Nooooo! I had just recent purchase a set of Chameleon Pens, which worked with beautiful results.
I should not have varnished the snowmen first. I got out may Sharpie pens and colored the hats. (Which was the first mistake.) However, I need to draw the face and buttons, and color the hats on the snowman. The snowman, trees, and snow were made with Sculpey Polymer Clay using a setting of 3 in the pasta machine and cut with “cookie” cutters, bake and covered with sparkle varnish. Then it occurred to me I have polymer clay, I have cutters for snowman and trees. I thought about designing a village scene to put inside the snow globe, but I wanted a little deep. Once the circles came in, I started to work on the card.
It was a quick Click and Order from Amazon. And, than I found Jullibean Soup’s Large Circles by Hampton Art. I researched the ideal and knew it was possible.īut, I didn’t really want to put a piece of plastic wrap or it’s equivalent on the card. This year the ideal was a Snow Globe Christmas card. If I wait until Thanksgiving, I sure that disasters will strike and I would be force into buying Christmas cards from the store. I usually start thinking about my Christmas Cards around July. It is the Christmas Season! All the presents are wrapped and all the cards have mailed it is time that I share with you my Christmas Card of 2017.
