DIY Snowman Snow Globe Shaker Card - Tips and Video

Summer is finally here and I'm still making snowmen?  Am I crazy?  

Yes - I certainly am - crazy for this die from Spellbinders.  

I have been playing around and experimenting with Spellbinders Elegant 3D Vignettes (dimensional dies) by Becca Feeken.  This particular die is called Grand Dome.  

I created my version of an adorable snowman snow globe card. 

I've been waiting for summer to make an appearance - but I really do love snowmen and snow globes.   Extra fun bonus when I'm making a shaker card. 

Here are the two Spellbinders dies I used for this DIY Snowman Snow Globe Shaker Card:

Grand Dome Elegant 3D Vignettes by Becca Feeken. 

 Snowman Builder - Small Die of the Month Club

Here are the papers I used from the Vintage Winter collection by Maja Design:

Hej-mitt-vinterland 

Fun in the Snow

Winter Joy

The snow globe was created using the cool die from Spellbinders and Becca Feeken - Grand Dome .

The snowman is also a Spellbinders die -  Snowman Builder -  Small Die of the Month Club.

The Spellbinders Elegant 3D Dies by Becca Feeken were designed to help create unique dimensional cards and projects.  This means there are many layers - like a "sandwich".

Quick Video
Here is a quick 30 second video showing the snow globe shaker card in motion. 

I just love making shaker cards. 

Below is a photo of the shaker card "sandwich" needed to make this card.

The die has many pieces - meaning many layers to assemble in order to create the dimensional look.  

My snowballs are actually little foam balls.   They work perfectly here. 

I wanted the snow to shake and fall around the snowman and be a bit more dimensional. 

In order to do that, I have provided my "sandwich" - describing the way I created the layers.  

You can see a close up of the layers in the image below.  

I cut the sweet snowman from the Maja Design Vintage Winter collection and glued him to the side of the shaker snow globe.  

On the second side of the shaker card, I cut the image of the little boy throwing snowballs from the Maja Design paper.   Perfect for my card. 

Thanks for stopping here to see my winter creation.  Now back to Summer....

It's Snowman Time - Cute Christmas Card

 Snowman season is upon us so I thought I would create snowman cuteness.  
I'm here to share a card I made by combining two Maja Design holiday collections: Maja Design - A Gift For You and Maja Design - Vintage Winter .

I love that the collections can often be used together.  That's part of the magic of Maja Design.  We all know that paper and papercrafting products aren't cheap, so make the most of your supplies!

That's the added value of Maja Design collections.   While some of the papers in the Holiday/Christmas collections certainly have images that are "themed " for the holidays, the B sides of the papers offer prints that can be used for any occasion.  

 The papers I used are shown in the image above and are as follows:  

Maja Design A Gift for You - paper collection - Made by Me paper 

Maja Design - Vintage Winter collection - December paper

Maja Design - Vintage Winter collection - Season's Greetings ( B side)

My darling snowman die is from Memory Box die - Snowman Heart Collage .  I think it's adorable.   Accented with some Flowers,  pine branches and he's all set for the Holidays.
