Christmas in July: Snow Globe Card

“The hot and the cold are just so intense, put ’em together, it just makes sense!” -Olaf ⛄️

Get ahead of the holidays by starting your Christmas cards now! The Jar of Joy stamp set (which coordinates with the Sweet Jar builder punch) will have you shaking up snow during the heat of summer:

Layers: 3.5″ x 4.75″ Designer Series Paper, 3.75″ x 5″ Real Red Card Stock

The way to make the jar shiny is by laying a piece of packing tape over the stamped image before punching it out (did the same for the sunglasses on my pop-up tote card here).

The way the snow globe pops through the front of the card from the inside is a delightful detail that gives the open card charm, as well.

This video shows how to create this card from start to finish in 90 seconds:

I am enjoying playing along with the Global Design Project “Christmas in July” #gdp507 challenge with this card! It’s simple enough you could easily make multiples at one time, too.

Spirited Snowman & Year End Closeout

Have you had your first snowfall yet? While I prefer viewing it from afar, it’s covering my front yard and that makes me want to stay indoors…and craft. 

So it’s a good time to share a tutorial for a SNOWMAN card! Most of the products are on the Year-End Closeout sale that began today: Some items are about to be discontinued and some are discounted for extra savings. 

Before I share the card, I wanted to mention that some of the items in the discounted section make AWESOME gifts, too! The Christmas Traditions Punch Box just needs a ribbon and it’s ready to set under the tree and includes stamps, clear block, punch and two ink spots. At 40% off, it’s a fantastic steal: 

On to the adorable snowman card ~ it could be used for a holiday greeting, a thank you card or even a winter birthday wish!
