Hello There My Crafty Friends! Happy Friday and Welcome to my little corner of the crafting world!
Tomorrow the hubster leaves for his annual finishing trip. What's a girl to do for an entire week all by herself? Absolutely anything and nothing she feels like doing. I'm starting out by stopping by my favorite country goodies store, The Rustic Hutch. They're having a sale and I'll be going there directly after dropping the guys at the airport. :D I also plan to work on cards. I'm late in starting my Christmas cards this year, so it's time to get a move-on.
For today's project, I knew I was going to create a snow globe and for some reason just felt it had to be a jar design. Must be that country/farmhouse style, I love so much, just coming out of me. For that, I turned to my Cricut. I used the negative cut for the jar itself and the positive cut for the lid. I used my scoring board for the lines in the lid and an embossing folder for the wood grain around the jar cut.
The sweet fox, trees and words are a set from Papertrey Ink called Winter Fox and the snowflake is Snowfall Style 1 dies, also by Papertrey Ink. The swirly background is a very pretty die by Ellen Hutson called Twirling Flurries.
Don't know if you noticed in the first picture, that my jar panel is down and to the right side of the card base. This caused me a lot of stress because, even though I like how it looked, it wasn't centered. I spent way too much time obsessing over this but decided it's about time I step out of a few of my comfort zones.
Here you can see some of my snowy, glittery shaker bits. I used 5 different sparkly things; little clay snowflakes, fine white glitter, shaved ice, clear sequins and glass glitter.
What do you think? Please let me know in the comments section and, while you're there, any photography tips you'd be willing to give are greatly appreciated. Especially when it comes to brightening up my photos.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great weekend.

WOW this is so beautiful, Laura.
I love this card so much! What a perfect blend of color and technique!
Photography tips: These photos look great. Advice I'd give anyone is to use natural light, preferably diffused. If you don't have that, then some "daylight" bulbs at 5000K or 5500K, preferably 100W or so, again diffused with something white and translucent. I like to edit in Pixlr Editor. It's online and totally free. Your colors look fantastic!
What a heartwarming, tremendously sweet winter themed card.
