Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Use your circle cutter to create a 3.75” circle out of acetate.

   

2. Step 2

   Make pencil marks at 0.25” from each end of the 2” x 4” piece of patterned paper.
   
   Repeat on the two pieces of 2” x 4” white cardstock.

   

3. Step 3

   Using your paper trimmer, create tapered base edges by cutting from your pencil marks to the opposing corners.
   
   Repeat on two pieces of 2” x 4” white cardstock.

   

4. Step 4

   Attach acetate circle to the tapered base.

   

5. Step 5

   Attach one tapered white cardstock base to the backside of the patterned paper base, hiding the glued edge of the acetate circle.
   
   Optional:
   The second tapered base can be used inside the card, if desired.

   

6. Step 6

   Position the 4” x 6” piece of cardstock lengthwise, and fold the paper 0.5” from one end.

   

7. Step 7

   Using your base and globe as a template, trace the same shape onto the folded piece of 4” x 6” cardstock.
   
   Hold the flap down to extend the top of the circle onto that folded end of paper.

   

8. Step 8

   Cut out the snow globe shape using your scissors.

   

9. Step 9

   Trace the top of your acetate circle onto one piece of scrap white cardstock, then freehand draw the shape of a snowdrift and cut out.
   
   This will be attached at the top of the snow globe to hide where the acetate will attach to the flap of the 4” x 6” piece.
   
   Optional:
   Trace and cut out an identical snowdrift to hide the flap on the inside of the card.

   

10. Step 10

    Attach the 4” x 6” cardstock to the acetate at the flap.

    

11. Step 11

    Attach scrap paper snowdrift to hide the attachment flap.
    
    Optional:
    Add Flower Soft™ to create the texture of snow.

    

12. Step 12

    Decorate and finish your card. Trim any uneven edges with scissors.
    
    Optional:
    Add snowflakes to the acetate using white StazOn™.
