Need help with SnowGlobe type card...

[AmzdByHsGrace]

Hello... I am not sure if I can explain what I want so you will understand. I found an image that I thought would make a wonderful 'Snowglobe' type card. What I would like to do is use the image behind something that looks like snow as an opening in the card... in other words.. cut a round opening in the front of the card and put something there that will be see through and look like snow... hummm is that too confusing? Then put my image on the inside of the card so when the card is closed the image will show through the opening but still have the 'snow' there...
Hope someone can help me...
May God bless

You could cover the "hole" with a piece of acetate or even make a shaker card so that the snow would move like in a snow globe.

Good Luck

Betty, thanks for your reply.... I had seen somewhere before about using tape and glitter... but I can't seem to remember how to do the technique... I thought maybe someone on SCS knew how to make one this way...
I appreciate all the help...
God bless

What you do is cut the circle to a desired size of the front of your card.
Turn over, on the inner side of the cover ,
you use packaging tape to "cover" the hole.
so if you were to then look at the front of the card - it is sticky.
(Hope that makes sense.
this is where you can put your diamond glitter etc... anything that will sparkle onto the packaging sticky side tape...

continue to the inner of the card.

you may want to also add an inner CS to cover up the exposed tape edges....

You could also try the dryer sheet technique. I have not attempted this in the manner in which I am going to tell you so experiment first...

Take a used dryer sheet (one that has already been run through the dryer) and put it through a Xyron machine. I would then attach this to the inside back of the front of your card. Proceed to glitter on the dryer sheet.

Now, I have seen this done where you would stamp your image on a piece of CS. Run the cardstock with the stamped image through the Xyron so that the sticky side covers your stamped image. You then put your used dryer sheet on top of the image and then rub the glitter into the weaves of the dryer sheet where it adheses and still gives that glimmer!

Good Luck!

ok i like the acetate idea as the packing tape idea if the hole is to big you can see the overlap in the packing tape thru the dazzeling diamonds. so my suggestion is to stamp on the acetate with white staz on a few snow flakes then you can smear it with crystal effects and put dazzeling diamonds on it
