Snow Globe Shaker Dome Ornament

20190823_152739

Barb Faulkner, friend & team member, created this ADORABLE Holiday ornament using Snow Globe Shaker Domes #150442! She stamped the happy snowman from Snowman Season Stamp Set #150458 on two sides of Whisper White card stock cut to the size of the Dome base. After adding Snowflake Sequins #150443 to the Domes, attaching a twine hanger, she attached a dome to both sides of the Whisper White card stock.  Domes are self-adhesive! This is a quick, inexpensive little gift for teacher, neighbor or co-worker!!

How to use Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

20191026_152724

When I first saw the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint #150691 in the Holiday Catalog, I thought of these Cotton stalks in the Country Home Stamp Set #147678. It's the PERFECT touch of fluffy texture!

20191026_152822

The little bottle of magic, puffs up like: snow, cotton, lamb's wool, clouds or whipped cream!!

20191026_154701

Experiment and practice before using this product on your finished design. For larger areas, you can apply the puffing liquid right from the tip of the bottle. I wanted small cottony puffs on my card so this worked well for me;

    1. SHAKE bottle.

    2. Apply a small puddle on scrap paper.

    3. Use a toothpick to dot liquid in small areas. Use less than you think because it will expand.

    4. Heat with a Heat Tool to puff. It grows as it puffs! LOTS OF FUN!!

20191026_152913

20191026_152900

The background is one piece of Mercury Glass Designer Acetate #150441 cut 5-1/2 X 4-1/4", then diagonally to make two cards. Old Olive card base.
