Hi Everyone! I'm finally finding some time to decorate for the holidays! I usually throw a couple of family parties this time of year, and wanted to have something fun to put on my table. I used the Gingerbread Kisses Collection and a cut file from Lori Whitlock to create this fun ornament snow globe. Take a peek...
I started with this ornament SVG from Lori Whitlock. I enlarged the file to 180% and cut the pieces from white cardstock. I cut doubles and glued them together for a little more strength. Instead of cutting paper for the panels, I cut acetate.
I then started to put together my scene. I started with the fun Gingerbread Lane Doodle Cuts. I cut all of the pieces from a combination of Gingerbread Kisses 6x6 papers and some Candy Stripe-Sprinkles Petite prints.
I added some fun sprinkles for color and dimension. I stuck 2 hearts from the Warm Wishes Shaped Sprinkles on either side of a piece of acetate to make it look like it was floating from the chimney. Since you can see my little scene from all directions, I made sure to create a "back" for all of my pieces. I even added some windows and shaped sprinkles to the back of the house!
I wanted the ornament to stand straight, so I created a base. I cut 2, 2" strips from the Snowflake side of the Sugar plums paper and combined them to make a circle that was 16" circumference. I rested the ornament in it, and marked with a pencil where the white "ribs" of the ornament hit the paper. I then cut small slits in those spots so that the ornament would sit flat in the base.
Here is a close up of the cute little gingerbread people! I also added some fake snow to the bottom to cover up the "bases" I created so everything would stand up straight.
It's all set up on my table, now I just have to get cooking! Have you created any fun projects with the Gingerbread Kisses Collection or doodle cuts? Be sure to tag us on socials, we always love to see your creations! That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek.
