A Joyful Christmas Snow Globe

This layout was completely inspired by @cityscrapper's "Twinkle Bright" snow globe scrapbook layout.  I have linked her video tutorial in the supply list.  I never thought to create a shaker card on a scrapbook layout before so I thought I would give it a try.

I found an old SEI NOEL paper collection in my stash that I knew would be perfect for this layout.  I used the Winter Chill glitter accent page as my background.  To create the snow globe, I used my EQ Success Curvy Cutter to cut a large circle out of the Iced Ornaments paper to serve as the background for the snow globe.  I also cut a circular piece of acetate and a circular silver foil frame to adhere to the acetate.  For the snow globe base, I cut a piece of wood-grained paper and backed it on silver foil cardstock.  I glued the photo to the center of the snowglobe and embellished it with a snowflake sticker from the paper pack.  I customized several colors of sequence for the inside of the snow globe, include some snowflake sequence.  I used foam strips to adhere the acetate to the front of the snowglobe.  I used craft foam to adhere the snow globe base to the background paper.


To embellish the layout, I cut pine needles from my Cricut machine and used VersaMark ink to emboss them with sparkle embossing powder.  I made an arch of pine needles at the top.  I also placed a few sprigs on the base of the snowglobe.  I fussy cut some ornaments from the Iced Ornaments paper.  I cut ornament hangers from silver foil cardstock and attached these to the ornaments so that they would hang from the pine needles.  I popped some of the ornaments up using craft foam, while others were glued directly to the background page.  

I used a few more glitter stickers from the paper pack to embellish around the snow globe.  The date was die cut using Tim Holtz's Circle Words Christmas Thinlits.  I backed the date onto the Chilled Berries paper and glued it to the snow globe base.


I absolutely love the look of this layout.  I really enjoyed combining the use of this paper pack with the Tim Holtz dies.  A special thank you to @cityscrapper for the inspiration.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Glimmer Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Today's cards are part of my stash-busting series.  This is where I look around my craft room and grab a bunch of supplies that I haven't yet had the chance to use.  The results yielded two glimmer hot foiled birthday cards. I used the smooshing technique to apply Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto white card panels.  After the panels were dry, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System along with the Scattered Flowers and Diamonetta Background Glimmer plates to add Aura Glimmer Hot foil to the card panels.   The card panels were mounted onto pink cardstock.  I used the same Aura foil to glimmer the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white cardstock.   I cut the sentiment using a Momenta nesting border die.  I used a slightly larger border die to cut a sentiment border from the pink cardstock.  I cut pink and yellow flowers using the Sizzix Spring Things die set.  I ran the flowers and sentiment border through t...

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set.  The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing.  Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder.  I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel.  I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint.  I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder.  I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel.  I added a black matte behind this emboss...
