Snow Globes

 

Carrying on with small Treat Holders for the christmas table... here is another one for your Ferrero Rocher or Lindor Balls... 

But before I start... I have news for you... Stampin' Up! are releasing Year End Closeout Deals very soon... coming 1st December... lots more discounted items so more on that tomorrow... but if you happen to be online after 11pm tonight... check out my Online Store to see the details.... many items only while supplies last!

These very simple little Snow Globes will go down well amongst my skiing mad family & friends. And actually... I may use these for the New Year table

Used Mountain Adventure for decoration and greeting, Stitched Shapes Framelits for the circle, Jar of Love for the lid and Christmas Pines for the snowflakes. Finished off with Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the trees and snowflakes

And the box behind is just a 3 3/4" Square piece of Whisper White card, Scored at 1 1/4" on all 4 sides. Perfect for hiding the treat in...

Cozy Cottage for Christmas - Part 2

Look familiar... but different... 

On this second card the Cozy Cottage ( or Chalet!) image is stamped onto the centre of the Home For Christmas paper panel, then the snowline cut by hand... along the line at the centre but free-style at the edges! The paper is then stuck to the white card panel and the greeting stamped...

The roof and the snow on the trees are coloured in using a white Signo gel pen... the windows with a Hello Honey marker pen...

Then it is all finished off with a light dusting of Fine-Tip glue plus Dazzling Diamonds... to the snow line, the roof, the windows and the trees... and it is interesting to note that the glitter on the trees remains so much whiter and brighter on this card than the next ones... must be something to do with the mix of white gel pen, Fine Tip and glitter...

Now what do you think? Better with or without??? The house prop that is....

Cozy Cottage for Christmas Trio Part 1

Moving onto the Cozy Christmas stamp set & Home For Christmas that we used this week in classes... here is the first card of a trio... I LOVE this simple little trio...you have been warned...

Some lovely quick and easy cards as most people were doing the Advent Calendar (see here and here) and the Christmas Shadow Box Frame (yet to be shared) - so these were mainly for my speedy girls - or those just doing the Advent Calendars...

Starting off simple as simple......

Loving this image... reminds me of many a ski holiday spent in many a chalet in the French and Swiss Alps!

Loving keeping it SO simple... 

The windows are just coloured with a Hello Honey marker pen...

Then it is all finished off with a light dusting of Fine-Tip glue plus Dazzling Diamonds... to the snow line, the roof, the windows and the trees...

Now what do you think? Better with or without my house prop in the photo to give you more of an idea of scale... but maybe a bit house-over-powering??? This is just a small 10.5cm (about 4 1/8") Square card... so you can get the idea!! 

The house is about 8" tall... and ... if not favoured for photos... it may be whisked away for a bit of altering.....! Waste not want not... Mmmmm....
