- One 2” x 4” piece of patterned paper (Holiday Lounge used here)
- Two 2” x 4” pieces of white cardstock
- Two scrap pieces of white cardstock
- Acetate
- Circle cutter (Spellbinder Nestabilities™ and Cuttlebug™ used here)
- Scissors
- Paper Trimmer
- Adhesive
- Stamps (FireCracker Designs by Pamela’s Gifts of Love used here)
- Embellishments

Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Use your circle cutter to create a 3.75” circle out of acetate.
-
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. -
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. -
Step 4
Attach acetate circle to the tapered base.
-
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. -
Step 6
Position the 4” x 6” piece of cardstock lengthwise, and fold the paper 0.5” from one end.
-
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. -
Step 8
Cut out the snow globe shape using your scissors.
-
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. -
Step 10
Attach the 4” x 6” cardstock to the acetate at the flap.
-
Step 11
Attach scrap paper snowdrift to hide the attachment flap.
Optional:
Add Flower Soft™ to create the texture of snow. -
Step 12
Decorate and finish your card. Trim any uneven edges with scissors.
Optional:
Add snowflakes to the acetate using white StazOn™.
