3D Stand Up Shaker Paper Snow Globe

Hello! I created this to join the Lawn Fawn Challenge Blog. I wanted to create something other than a card so I created a snow globe that can stand up and be put on display.

I started off by putting my idea into a sketch. I created a stand up paper display before, a Faux Carved Paper Pumpkin, which guided me in creating this stand up snow globe. Do check it out, if you have time.

I am using the following Lawn Fawn products:

Ready, Set, Snow Lawn Cuts
Ready, Set, Snow Shaker Add-On
Ready, Set, Shake
Critters In The Arctic

This involves a lot of layers so I die cut a lot of the window snow globe. I am using a heavy cardstock for most of the layers. I die cut a solid snow globe for the back layer. I used one of the negative cuts of the window snow globe and added stitching holes to it.

I added cross stitching to the negative cut of the snow globe using several blue embroidery floss.

I stamped the narwhal on gray cardstock. I blended gray dye ink to add some shadows. I added dots using the small and broad tips of Sakura White Gelly Roll pen. I added shimmer to the horn using a Sakura Stardust Pen. I added blush for the cheek. I traced the eye outline with a black ink pen. I fussy cut the narwhal leaving a small border around the image.

Now, I am going to build up the layers starting with the back. I adhered a window snow globe and the stitched negative cut to the solid snow globe.

For the front, I adhered a shimmer paper on a heavy white cardstock using Stick It double adhesive. I die cut the window snow globe to this. I added an acetate to the back.

The next layer will be the layer where the narwhal will be attached. I added a string to the back of the narwhal using double adhesive tape. I loosely adhered the strings to the front on one of window snow globe using double adhesive tape. I added foam adhesive to the back of one of the window snow globe. I adhered these two window snow globes, making sure it is lined up.

Another layer is the shaker layer. I adhered acetate to the front of one of the window snow globe and also to the back of another window snow globe. I added double layered foam adhesive around the window opening of the window die cut to create a well. I adhered this to the die cut with the acetate adhered to the front. I brushed some anti-static powder on the acetates that will be in contact with the confetti, and also brushed the inner edge of the foam. I added Pretty Pink Posh Confetti to the well. I sealed the shaker with the other window die cut.

Putting the layers together, I added foam tape to the stitched background layer. I adhered the shaker layer to this. I added foam tape again then adhered the narwhal layer to it. I adhered the front layer next with the use of liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I die cut the matching die on gray cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on one of the label die cuts using Versamark ink. I heat embossed this with silver embossing folder. I adhered the label die cuts on top of each other with the embossed label on top for dimension. I adhered this to the base of the snow globe.
