Winter/Christmas Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Winter/Christmas Themed Blog Hop celebrating our favorite time of the year. This blog hop is hosted by Paulette, from Around the Block with Scrapalette. If you missed the beginning of the hop, please join in at http://scrapalette.blogspot.com/.
My project for this hop is a snow globe!



 
Materials Used:
  • Cricut Cartridge Sweet Tooth Boxes
  • Imagine Cartridge Santa's Village
  • Impact Clear binding covers
  • Core'dinations cardstock
  • Ribbon form my stash
  • Stickles in gold and iridescent
  • Cotton pads
  • Martha Stewart punch
I used the ice cream cone cut (pg. 15) from Sweet Tooth boxes for my globe. I used the base (pg. 19 cut @ 11.5"), the top (pg. 16 cut @ 11.5") and the inside cupcake holder (pg.20 cut @ 11.5" relative x2). I cut the top using clear binding covers since I couldn't find a acrylic or acetate sheets in stock at my local craft store. I found these sheets at Office Max. The base was cut from Core'dinations cardstock Cosmo Cricut design. I chose this paper because it already was embossed for me. You have to love that! =) Once I assembled my base I added one of the inside cupcake holders. After I did this, I cut my base from the scalloped edge to the cupcake liner at each crease. I then folded and adhered each layer onto the inside liner. I did this to allow for additional globe to be seen.
Next, I used the Imagine cartridge Santa's Village to create my scene. I cut the 3-D house on page 29 @ 4.0" x 2, Santa page 3 @ 1.5" x2, the sled page 21 @ .5" x2, and the Christmas tree page 24 at 2.0" x3. I flipped the 2nd cut of Santa and the sled so the image could be seen at either end of the globe. The 3D house only has one cut with two sides, so I simply cut it out twice to complete the 3D effect. The Christmas tree I cut 3 times, folded each in half and the then adhered them together. All the cuts were glued to cotton pads stretched out to make my snow which was taped to my second cupcake liner. On this liner I used my Gypsy to hide the inner circle so it would not be cut. I also hand trimmed down each side so that it was only 1/4 of an inch.
To finish the treat box, I added Velcro to keep it down so that goodies could still be added to the inside. I covered the seam with a Martha Stewart punched border and completed the globe with the Merry Christmas saying from page 25 of Santa's Village @ 2.0".

To thank you for stopping by and visiting, I have the Season's Greetings 6x6 Echo Park Christmas paper pad to give away.
