Day 2: A Winter Snow Globe to Warm Your Heart
Welcome back to my 12 Days of Christmas Decorations series! If you're just joining us, I'm sharing a new festive project each day as my holiday gift to you. My hope is that these decorations will fill your home with warmth and joy throughout the season.
Today's Project: A Sliceform Snow Globe
For Day 2, I'm thrilled to share this enchanting sliceform snow globe that captures the magic of a winter wonderland.
Picture this: a peaceful snowy scene with a majestic deer standing in the foreground, a charming log cabin with wisps of smoke curling from its chimney, and snow-covered mountains rising behind frosted trees in the distance. Every time I look at this design, I can't help but imagine myself tucked inside that cozy cabin, wrapped in a soft blanket by the crackling fire, lost in a heartwarming Christmas novel.
It's the perfect daydream for a day like today—as I write this, we're experiencing that unpleasant mix of sleet and freezing rain that's now turned to just plain rain. But this little snow globe brings a touch of that idealized winter magic right into my home!
About the Design
This project is an evolution of the sliceform technique I shared in an earlier tutorial (find the original here). The dimensional design creates a captivating centerpiece for your holiday table or adds a cozy, festive accent to any room in your home.
This project is a wonderful gift to send someone as the entire design folds flat for mailing and fits inside an A7 envelope.
What You'll Need
Materials:
- Neenah 65 lb white gold cardstock from Office Depot (for the snow globe)
- 65 lb foil blue cardstock (for the base)
The white gold cardstock is key to this design—its elegant shimmer catches the light beautifully and adds that special festive sparkle to enhance your holiday ambiance.
Equipment:
- Electronic cutting machine (Silhouette or Cricut)
