Yes, I know that I should have made and blogged these snow globe ornaments before Xmas but I only purchased the Lawn Fawn stamp and die sets recently. I had a light bulb moment when I found the Flat Fillable Ornaments at HM Ben Franklin Crafts. It was a no brainer that I had to combine the stamped images with the fillable ornaments.
I traced the ornament onto some two sided printed Xmas card stock scraps. Then I stamped the words on the backs of the papers and heat embossed them with gold or silver powder.
The bear, dog, desk and snow globe images were stamped on smooth white card stock and colored in with Copic markers before matching dies were used to cut out the pieces.
The hats were glued on as were the snow globes on the desk (which had its legs shortened) before foam dots were used to raise up the images from the backgrounds. About a teaspoon of 'snowflakes' was added to each half globe before the scenes were glued to the half ornaments. Cording was then glued onto the edge of the flat ornament along with a bow of red ribbon with the words 'Let It Snow' on it. The 5 pack of fillable ornaments will actually make 10 ornaments because only half of the ornament is used to make each snow globe scene ornament. I plan to get started on this style of ornaments earlier next year because they were so easy to make and turned out exactly as I hoped they would. There are so many scenes that can be incorporated into these flat snow globe ornaments. Maybe now is the time to purchase some packages of Flat Fillable Ornaments so you will be ready to make some NEXT Xmas....hey, they might be on SALE right now!!!
Ohhh, I really love these ornaments. What a great and creative idea. Happy New Year to you and your ohana. ❤️
