Birthday Card | Shaker Snow Globe - Ellen Hutson



Ahoy there!

Today's card features stamp/die cut images from Essentials by Ellen, Stay Salty & Mermaid's Tail by Julie Ebersole with a cute mini mermaid tail flipping out of the water inside an ocean scene shaker. 

I designed my own "souvenir snow globe" in Cricut Design Space and then die cut all of the shapes. The clouds, mermaid tail and anchor were stamped, colored and die cut as well; a little shimmer was added to everything with a Wink of Stella. After I glued the card stock pieces onto the front of a 5.5-inch top-folding card base, I assembled the shaker window. The waves were created with a 1/4" paper punch, the tail was glued behind the first wave and the clouds were trimmed/glued to fit inside the shaker.  

I wrapped heavy string around the globe's base several times and tied up the anchor! Lots of tiny pieces of foam tape were added to the back of the window to create the shaker zone, then the sequins/confetti were piled in and the finished globe was secured on top. 

Here is the inside of the card using additional stamps from the "Stay Salty" set and the large Mermaid's Tail. I LOVE this sentiment!


Thanks so much for stopping by today!
