Hellooooooooo! Hear those sleigh bells ring ring ringing??? It's Christmas time in the city! Oh yeah! Today I'm up on The Greetery Blog for TGIF – The Greetery Inspiration Friday! The design team takes turns sharing a project with you on Fridays, and today is my day! I wanted to think up something new and fun for Christmas using beautiful supplies from The Greetery! So I had an idea to make a winter snowglobe shaker candy pop card! Ha! That's a mouthful. I thought I might take the super cool Candy Pops Dies and use them to make a snowglobe. Well….lo and behold, the idea came out just like I had hoped and I can't wait to show you!
My finished card is an A2 white card base, layered with red paper and some striped paper from my stash. I layered a pretty Postage die cut as my top layer. Then I mounted the candy pop shaker on top!! Let's get to it!
Here's a side view of my layers and that fun globe. I also die cut some pretty snowflakes from the Snowflake Soiree dies to add a bit of shimmer to the card. (Of course)! I fully assembled the candy pop part of the card seperately and then mounted it on the card. Worked out so easy. I think I could have also just made that part into ornaments!!
I die cut all the candy pop pieces and stamped the sentiment onto the outside ring. For my scene, I ink blended some oxide ink and stamped on some snowflakes from the Christmas Time in the City stamp set. I used the Christmas Time in the City dies to make my city skyline and the tree. I put glitter glue on the tops of the buildings and on the star and let that part dry.
For the inside of my snowglobe I added fake snow (from Michaels) and some small circular sequins I had in my stash. I didn't put very much in there because I didn't want it to be too cloudy…. It looks so pretty!!!
I used silver accents for the wrapper on the candy pop and added bits of red/white twine. I also added some holly and berries that come with the Candy Pop dies set.
One more side view! This is the 1/2 inch bubble. You'll see in my supply list you can buy the bubbles in different depths depending on what you're going to put inside.
Sweet Holiday Wishes my friends! Happy Friday, and happy crafting! Ho Ho Ho! See you soon!

Snowy days here in Michigan. It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas here. 5″ already and more to come!! I love the candy pop die and I said on the Greetery post that I am working on some money containers using that die. It is so fun to work with and so many fun ways to decorate it. I love your sweet snow globe. That city scape looks so right at home inside. Great job and beautiful card.
Super cute and very creative card, Wanda!!
