lauralooloo: How to Make a Christmas Snow Globe Shaker Card

Today's snow globe shaker card is festive and fun for Christmas and winter themed cards - and best yet, it's super simple to make with supplies you likely have in your stash already!

Snow Globe Supplies:

You'll need two important things to make a snow globe shaker card: a circle die, and some sort of clear plastic or acetate.

Circle die: Choose one that's appropriate to the size of your card, and however large of a scene you want to create "inside" of it.

Plastic sheet: Don't have an acetate sheet? Think about some recycled packaging that's laying around. Cut a piece that's slightly larger than the circle you'll use.

Step by Step to create this card:

Fold a pale blue card base to be the bottom layer of your card.
Cut a teal card-sized panel and die cut a circle from the center of it. (Position it to leave room for the snow globe base, sentiment etc.)
Add a piece of clear acetate behind the teal cardstock.
Die cut the same circle die from kraft cardstock and trim top and bottom off to create the snow globe base. Adhere to card front.
Create scene on pale blue card base with stamps and dies. Line up the acetate circle with the card base to position images properly so they'll fit "inside" the circle. Once completed, carefully pour a little pile of sequins or confetti - whatever you want your shaker filling to be.
On the back of the teal cardstock, surround the cut circle with foam adhesive. This will create "walls" for sequins or confetti when the card is sealed together. Peel off adhesive backing, line up teal card front on top of card base and carefully adhere together. This will sandwich the shaker filling inside of your snow globe!
Add sentiment and decorate the rest of the card as desired.

Is this the only way to create a shaker card? No. But this is the method that works well for me! There are many companies who make adorable snow globe themed products, but this is a simple way to make it with supplies that you likely already have!

I used the adorable Home Sweet Home stamp set from Impression Obsession for today's card. You can grab it now at 50% off, but move quick because products are selling out fast on the IO website!
