Snow, snow, snow…. it’s snowing all around the globe, the Christmas globe! Inside this very delicate and ornate gold based snow globe is a charming, red cabin in the snowy hills. To make this holiday card, I used the following Honey Bee Stamps products:
Believe in the Magic stamp set and coordinating dies
Wonder of Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies
Postcard Holiday Add-On Honey Cuts dies
For the basics… my featured project below is made from Neenah 80lb Solar White cardstock for the card base and card front panel. All of the black ink stamping was done using Honey Bee’s Bee Creative Intense Black Ink. I use Honey Bee Stamps Bee Creative Precision Glue and for when I want more dimension, Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab for adhering my elements together. My blender brushes (large and small) are a must for ink blending color on the background, too. For white highlights, I use my white Gelly Roll pen. My card is 5″ X 7″ in size.
To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I stamped the globe on white cardstock using Honey Bee Watermark Ink pad. I embossed it in gold using gold embossing powder. I colored the base using Y28 and Y26 to make it look like a yellow-gold metal. I also embossed the “Joy” label in gold on white cardstock and attached the die cut to front of the globe. The set offers several words you can add to the base.
I added gold pearl gem stickers to the ornate scrolls to make them more dimensional and white dots to the details on the stand.
I colored the scene inside the globe using reds, blues, greens, yellows and grays. I used the following Copic Markers: R89, R27, R24, R14, YG17, YG03, YG00, BG000, BG00, Y19, Y08, C5, C3 and C1. I splattered white ink over the scene to make the snow in the globe.
I also die cut an evergreen branch from green cardstock along with a bow from red cardstock. The bow was part of the FREE BEE offered with a Cozy Christmas release purchase, while supplies last. I cut the globe out using the coordinating dies and glued the evergreen branch and bow to the front of the globe.
To finish the card, I cut a 10″ wide X 7″ tall card base and scored it down the middle. I also cut a 5″ X 7″ card front and used a W1 Copic Marker to created falling snow down the front. I attached the snow globe to the card front using Bee Creative Foam Dots With Tab. Lastly, I stamped and die cut the phrase, “Wishing you all the magic of Christmas” using the Wonder of Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies.
