Hello crafters! Just a couple of more Christmas card giveaway days on the run up so I thought I would take advantage of them. I have done another snow globe card for you today but thought I would do something a bit different and not use one of the Snow Globe scene dies in it, just to show you another option. I started this card by cutting the round aperture for my snow globe in a piece of
coconut white card. I decided to use a piece of
acetate rather than the treat cup too so I glued it across the aperture opening on the back. I added mounting foam around the back of the card to raise it and provide a cup area for my shaker card. I sprinkle some faux snow that I had in my stash and covered it with another piece of
acetate so the card could be turned over without any spillage (it does make it so much easier to handle this way!) I used a piece of
periwinkle card as the backing and cut the
Bold Snow Flake Flurry die in white. I attached the snowflake to the backing this placed my card over it so it was partially in and out of the
snow globe frame as I wanted the arms of the snowflake to show. I cut a full
Snow Globe out of white and added it over the front of the aperture, allowing the white from the backing piece to show through. Using the
Christmas Rose die set, I created three flowers out of white card and highlighted them slightly with a pink tinge and added pink and white stamens to the centres. I added the foliage from the set with a slight green highlight to it. I used the same pink ink very lightly around the edges of the card, heavier in the corners just to add a light framing to it. The card was finished with three pearls in opposite corners and a white on white matting. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. If you would like to be entered into the drawing to win this card, just leave a comment on this post. The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post! All for now, Sue x

Such a pretty card Sue
Lovely card for the giveaway, someone will be very delighted.
Elaine, I hope Andrew is feeling a little better, did he get the problem with his hand sorted. Chemo does affect people in different ways.
Caring hugs and thoughts for Tina during these very difficult emotional times. Always in my thoughts.
Tina, hope Peter is doing better.
June, you are a very lucky lady with your Colin but he is lucky to have you too.
Tracey, I hope your counselling sessions are going well.
Sharon and daughter, how are you both doing.
We had a lovely meal yesterday, food was great, the lads on the team made sure we all had a good laugh, Barbara seemed very happy, good time was had by all. Traffic was horrendous on way home, I fell asleep in chair, something I never do, woke up and went to bed at 9. My party animal days are long behind me. Hugs to all missing and poorly friends, and all on the blog.
Never thought of doing this but now I have seen it woohoo. Thanks for sharing Sue, have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Such a beautiful card that some lucky person will win.
Beautiful card for this giveaway
Very pretty and a different take on the snow globe. Someone will be very happy to receive this card

Morning Sue. It will be such a shame to see the last of your festive samples, but the finale is yet to come and we have the 'orphan' collection to look forward to.
Another 'change up' to your way of thinking I see, although it's a lovely card, your globe design is meant for your stick snowman and village scene, something doesn't look right and I think I'm so use to seeing the designs you made to fit into the globe the large snowflake just doesn't look right, but I'm sure I'll get shot down for thinking aloud ! We can't always think alike can we ? You can count on one hand how many I've not been sure about this year, wish I could say the same about the one's I've put together lol.
Although I prefer your other snow globe samples you've inspired us with, I bet today's giveaway looks so pretty in real life. So as a thank you for being so generous I send my usual hug and hope your day is a good one xxx
Good morning Sue and crafters all,
What a clever way to use a snow globe. So clean looking white on white and roses are so pretty tinged with pink.
Pam - so glad you enjoyed your party!!! It does you good to let your hair down. Hope your friend Barbara enjoys her retirement.
June Smith - yes you are so lucky having Colin doing these great things for you. Hope you are doing your exercises.
Peter is not to bad, asleep on the settee this morning. Got a new tv for him yesterday as ours left this world on Saturday night, so he stayed up watching it. He is the milky bar kid at the moment, and found a Cadbury's chocolate mouse with chocolate pieces he likes.
Love and crafty hugs to all
Tina T xxxxx
Gorgeous card! Love the snow globe and snowflake!
Morning Sue, a gorgeous card love the shaker idea
Nancyd x
beautiful card
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a very different card today, it is growing on me though.
Pam I am so pleased that you enjoyed the meal and the wonderful company, and Barbara retires tomorrow, she will find it quite strange at first and I know from experience that it takes a time to get used to but once you have well the world is your oyster, I always said that when I retired I would do what I want to do not what I have to do and that is certainly the way I have continued, love it. (not the getting older bit though).
Tina T, tell Peter he will have square eyes all this telly watching (my Mum and Dad used to say that to me when I was little), it must be something in the air because we had to purchase a new TV last week as ours had also gone on us. It is difficult to find things that Peter likes to eat and drink, oh I remember those milky bar kid adverts, the old ones are the best, anyway hope he enjoys the chocolate mousse.
Thinking of Tina and family at this difficult time.
Theresa G stitches out tomorrow, that will feel much better I am sure, but you will be still bunny hopping won't you xx
My thoughts and hugs are with everyone I have forgotten to mention, you all know who you are.
I am off to our Craft Club Christmas Meal today, so looking forward to it, I have wrapped the secret Santa present up and the card is done, have also made everyone a little gift for the table.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Do like this card but for me I think I prefer the snowman or village scenes on the inside of thesnowglobe. I see that I am not the only one. However, as in all your cards Sue, even when they are not n my preferred style, it is work of art and a lucky person will win it! Thank you!
Maggie B xx
Good morning Sue. I can't believe that we're nearly at the end of this year's Christmas treats from you. Another beautiful sample today, your method of using two pieces of acetate to make shaker cards is brilliant.
Pam, pleased that you and Barbara enjoyed the meal, I hope that she has a last couple of days at work. Nanna Tina, you are in my thoughts. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Good morning Sue, love the shaker card

Morning sue and crafty friends.
Oooooh pretty and using my fave snowflake too. And I've got the snow globe. Didn't use the globe as much but might next year lol xx
Pam. Glad u had a smashing night and ir friend got the send off she deserved. I'm quite jealous that I have to keep working!! I was getting too used to being off when I was sick I wasn't really wanting to go back but the bills needed paying so back I went.
My stepdads dads funeral is today and I have to go to support him and my mom I've been stressing about it the past week which triggered off my ibs so I'd been in bed since Sunday the cramps were horrendous so I ended up at docs yesterday :-(.
Anyways Lynda ma wee pal I hope ur doing ok and terry is behaving himself!! Lol
Missing Laine an pp with the banter but I'm guessing their not keeping too good the now?
Sending hugs to everyone lots of love xx

So looking forward to your H shows at the weekend, hope life doesn't get in the way.
Tracy - keep strong today, a dreadful end to your worrying year that you've got through with great courage. Better times ahead for sure.
Hugs to our missing people. And to new furbabe Poppy.

Ohhhhhh Sue !! This is a different way of using your Snow Glob die set, I love this idea. I adore snow globe cards and this one is stunning. I have made snow globe cards for my Daughter and Granddaughter's Christmas cards this year, and I'm loving them.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Lovely card to give away.
Beautiful giveaway card Sue.
Hi Sue. Gorgeous card. I used your snowglobe to make my grandchildren shaker cards this year, they were thrilled. Apparently the 3 year old had told Santa, without me knowing, that he wanted a snowglobe for Christmas and so he assumed his wish had come true.

Morning Sue ,a real treat today your lovely snow globe. I can't believe how quickly this year has flown by. Thank you for sharing .Gloria (Sidcup) xx

This card showcases perfectly that you can put just about anything inside the snow globe and still end up with a gorgeous design...and I just love that faux snow!...

Hi Sue
I love the fact that you show so many different ways to use your dies and how they work with each other. Have made lots of shaker cards for Christmas, they are great fun to do.
Tracy hope that you get through today ok and your tummy settles, not long now until this year is over.
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone

Hi Sue,

Hope your journey back was good and the sun is shining on you here in this country............
and of course, the house is warm.....
Hugs, Rose
A really lovely card Sue, thanks for the chance to win it.
Hello Sue
This card for me might be a little to fussy but I bet in real life isn't. Elaine I hope Andrew can get some stronger cream no wonder he wants to use strong words it must be driving him mad. Tracy your mum and stepfather will know how hard today is going to be for you and will be so grateful for your support as the others say this year will soon be over. June enjoy your meal out. Pam so glad you had a nice evening out.
Hi Sue, good to get other ideas on how to use your dies but unfortunately I don't have the snow globe die. I love the Christmas rose & that little touch of colour really brings it to life. A lovely card fir some lucky person! Thank you!
Beautiful card Sue, just bought this snowflake die so will have a play today
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes
What a lovely Christmas card today,really lovely Sue and love the colours too.I have so many you have posted to catch up on where I have been so busy and worried have missed them.
With everything that has been going on I have only managed to make a few cards his year so very dissapointed but have decided to make them very early next year so hopefully Iam prepared for anything happening.
Pam so pleased your friend had a great send off, and I remember that feeling my party days are behind me too now, hope you are well and keeping warm and safe.
Elaine, I hope Andrew gets his hand sorted soon it must be so uncomfortable for him.
Love and healing hugs to Tina during these very hard days, your in my thoughts
Tina, hope Peter is doing better now.
June, Glad your doing so well, enjoy your craft club, I wish there was one near me it would be lovely.
Tracey, I hope your counselling sessions are going well.
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and wishes my Daughter and I are on the mend slowly, its going to be a quiet Christmas this year for me, and look forward to a better healthy happier 2017 for everyone
Love and healing hugs to anyone I have missed

Hello Sue and all
So sad that there are not many more Christmas cards to come this year, how the time has flown ! This one is lovely, a snow globe style card that could be posted and those beautiful roses too.
It has been in the high 30 degrees C here in many parts of NSW today, not exactly Christmas shopping weather but I managed to get a bit done today, there is supposedly a cool change and some rain on the way thankfully. The poor parched garden could use it

So pretty! I love the hint of pink on the card and the snowflake inside the shaker is beautiful! Would love to be in the running for it! TFS!
As usual so beautiful, love your idea's.
Be blessed, Sandra in Taos, NM
Hi Sue, I like this alternative snow globe card and I love the Christmas Rose dies, many have appeared on my cards this year mostly cut in vellum. I must say that your tip about sealing the shaker element with an additional piece of acetate is inspired and works so well. Why did no-one think of it before?
Frances
A nice wintery birthday card as much as a christmas card. Love your Rose dies but then all your florals are a must have.
Hello sue and all. Beautiful christmas card to day , love how you have created a different card from the snow globe and the finishing touches.
Well wishes all round and hugs. Wendy
Lovely to see a different use of the snow globe.
Rosemary xx
Good morning,
I love the technique you use for your shaker cards. I used it on my shaker snow globe cards this year. I cut fun foam and then sealed the back as you showed. I had never even made a shaker card before and it was easy to follow. Thank you!
I love this card and it is always nice to have other ideas for using my dies. I think the "snow globe" can be used for other seasons...spring flowers or butterflies maybe.
I wish everyone a happy Wednesday,

Lovely card, like the snowflake JennyP
Simply stunning!
Love the use of the globe in this
Really clever card. Like how you did it.
A note to myself, get this snow globe die, even if it is for next year, kept meaning to do this.....A beautiful shaker card Sue....luv Ursula xx
Very pretty snowglobe.

Hi Sue, Love the idea on today's card (of course I would make it as just a shaker card rather than a snow globe - not a fan of snow globes - sorry)

You're a superstar!!

Lovely card again Sue.thank toy
Hello Sue,
I'm very late but have had a busy , busy day! Today's card is lovely and actually appeals to me more than a " proper" shaker card as I'm not a big fan of those!
Tracy - I know I'm very late but I have been thinking of you today! What a day, what a week, what a year you hve had! Keep your chin up, my dear! Love x
I'm sorry but I haven't had time to read all the posts today!
Pam will keep me right in the morning, all being well!
Love to PP and Laine, I miss you! Xx
Love to all, Myra. Xx
Pretty card. Love the touch of pink. I don't have the Snow Globe but I'm hoping Santa is going to bring me the lovely Christmas Rose.
Take care everyone.

Love the globe. and it does show that you can use anything with the globe.
