TSOL Cut It Out Snow Globe

This card is fairly simple to make once you get the digital file created. Take the snow globe from the Stamps of Life Nov 09 Digital Set and enlarge it to about 4 inches high. The pixels in the image start to show but you can sharpen it to get rid of most of the effect. Position it on the paper so when you print it you have enough paper left above it to fold over to make a card. The rest of the images on the card are from the same set. Simply position, color and resize them. After you print it out, fold the card so part of the globe ends up on the back and you have a hinge at the top. Cut around the outside of the remainder of the globe to make a 4" globe card.  For the trees I left them black and white on the print out and colored them by hand with green. The red on the trees is Stickles glitter along with the gold on the base and the white on the snowman. The snowman is sitting on top of some of the white foamy snow you can get in the craft stores. Spread a thin later out and texture it and then let it dry until it hardens. It you are careful enough, you can put the snow and glitter on in one sitting. Otherwise, you might want to let the glitter dry before you do the snow.
