Frosty Friends: Double Snow Globe Inspiration

We are excited to feature two amazing ideas today on the blog featuring "Snow Globes". Both Sharm and Amanda created a couple of darling projects with the new Frosty Friends Collection. You will want to share these to copy for later!!

Snow Globe Window Cards 
by Amanda Coleman

Christmastime is (sort of) almost here and that means it's time to start cranking out holiday cards.  Inspired by the snow globe sticker in the Frosty Friends collection, I made a trio of bright and happy snow globe window cards to send to friends and family this Christmas season.

Is there anything cuter than a Doodlebug snowman?  I used the adorable die cut snowmen from the Mix & Match Snowmen Craft Kit as the focal point of each of these snow globe window cards.

I started with a card base and die cut a circle in the front of the card.  I then trimmed a white panel and die cut a circle slightly larger than the one in the card so it would create a nice border around the snow globe.

Each card has a complete scene on the inside.  I adhered a piece of patterned paper on the inside of the card and then trimmed a piece of sugar coated cardstock to create the snow.  I assembled and adhered the snowman to the background and added some fun sticker details.

I die cut the snow globe bases from woodgrain patterned paper from the Friendly Forest collection.  As an alternate to die cutting, you can simply cut a strip of patterned paper at an angle.

I chose not to use any foam squares or add any dimensional embellishments on these cards so they would be nice and flat and easy to mail.  If you are giving these cards in person, pop up some elements of the snowman or add some fun embellishments to add texture and dimension to the cards.
Use the print and cut function on your die cutting machine to create a custom sentiment.  Mat your sentiment with cardstock to really make your sentiment pop.  Don't have an electronic die cutting machine?  Bend your clear stamps to follow the lines of a curvy banner.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Snow Globe Window Cards 
by Sharm Nidyanadan

Hi there!! Have you seen the Frosty Friends collection yet? Isn't it absolutely adorable?! it reminds me so much of the Animated Movie Frozen! :) What I made using this collection is an altered globe. Looks like my Christimas Tree will have a new addition to it's many ornaments this year!

Here's the globe I created:

Materials Used:


How I Made This:
First, I cut out a 4."circle from the patterned paper
Then I embellished it by creating a snow background and added the other stickers
I used washi tape to secure the globe together
Tied some twine on the top

Hope you'll give this a go! :)
