Tree Farm Snowglobe

Posted on September 18, 2026 9:44 PM by Julie Comment

It’s been a while since I made a shaker card, but this snowglobe die just calls for it. I put a little Christmas tree farm inside it with a bunch of chunky glitter and holographic stars. The label at the bottom really adds to the snowglobe look.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1085, we are visiting Country Door & their Pinterest Boards. I used THIS door mat as my inspiration.

To make my snowglobe, I die cut 4of the globes out of heavy white & one out of white cardboard. Two of them were glued together used for the base w/ a piece of the insert in between. I added all the little die cut trees, out of 4 colors of green, the Tree Farm sign & snow at the bottom, cut out of white glitter. I popped a few up for dimension. The other 2 globe frames have a piece of acetate (also die cut w/ the globe insert) glued between them & the cardboard version glued underneath, I sprinkled the chunky glitter & stars on the bottom, then carefully glued the top layers down, making sure the edges were all secure in order to keep the glitter inside. The base was cut out of brown & dk brown & I used a wood grain embossing folder before attaching it.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A fun card for that someone special who really helped you out when you were in a pinch. Or did something wonderful for you. Who could resist this cute little panda superhero? They made your day, now you can make theirs!

A big congrats to Cathy, the newest Featured Stamper, FS1022. She has a sweet little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the Superhero theme & townscape w/ the big kapow layered word on top. I used different dies, colors & added a panda superhero w/ a greeting. I also changed the layout.

To make my thank you card, I colored & die cut super panda along w/ the thanks greeting. The big superhero words were cut of red, white & blue..true superhero colors! As I was playing around with the layout, I happened to turn the cobalt blue bg sideways on the white layer & decided I liked it. I attached it to the white piece then die cut them together w/ a stitched rectangle. I made sure to have the space where I cut the largest starry layer visible & attached the WOW layers slightly offset so the white would show. The little townscape was cut out of the same blue, put together & added behind the superhero.

Here are the Copics I used:

X7!
This Christmas card is not hard but does require a little coloring, but that’s not hard. The images were all die cut as well as the greeting and holly background. All in all, pretty simple. And there are more ornaments in this set, so make several cards & switch them up.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge, IC1083, so we are visiting The Crazy Craft Lady & her Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration.

To make my card, the ornament, pinecones & greenery were colored & die cut w/ their matching dies. The holly background was cut out of white & attached to a white background. It looks a bit like embossing, but has a much more textured look. I used the Skinny Strips dies to make a layered ribbon to add on the card front. The images were attached & I added the holly berries & greeting.

Here are the Copics I used:
