Here are my cards featuring the Snow Globes (and you'll notice that one of those cute penguins made their way into a Snow Globe!!) Yup - there are images with scenes in the globes and then there is an empty snow globe to put what ever you want in it! How cool and versatile is that?!?
This is a one layer card - I stamped the snow globe on the white card stock and then again on Pure Poppy card stock and cut out and adhered the base of the globe. Then I inked up the penguin from the Christmas Penguin set and stamped him in the globe. Many of the penguins fit perfectly in this globe!. I scored two lines on each side of the globe and then ran the ends of the front of the card through my die cut machine with the snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder. The sentiment is from the Snow GLobe and Ornaments set and I used a stamp-a-majig to make sure I placed it centered and straight. You can't really see in this picture but I cut a circle out of acetate with a Nestabilitiy and attached it to the globe with Crystal Effects so it looks like a snowglobe in real life!
There are several snow globe scenes in this stamp set and this is one of my favorites - I also love the cat snow man one too! I stamped the snow globe with PaperTrey Enchanted Evening ink and colored in the light with a yellow marker. I cut it and matted it with my Nestabilities. I embossed silver card stock with a Christmas embossing folder and cut out the trees and matted it with Enchanted Evening card stock. The sentiment is also from this stamp set.
Well, thanks for stopping and taking a look and now take note of my word - Impressions. Now on to the other Rockstars. I have included their links in case you need them: Oh - and Good Luck!!
