Merry and Bright using Mintay's Winter Wonderland

Hi all,

I'm up on the Craft on the Run blog today sharing my latest layout using the Beautiful Winter Wonderland Collection from Mintay Papers and let me just say this collection is truly stunning.

As soon as I saw the snow globe page I immediately wanted to make a giant snow globe shaker page.

Now I'm not going to lie this did present a challenge some what.

But I was determined.

To began to slowly cut around the inside of the globe with a scalpel. I cut around the most predominant images on the page and left a border approx 1/4 inch thick around the entire globe (this is needed to hide and adhere the tape which gives the dimensional lift and allow the shaker sequins to move around). I then cut around the outside of the globe with scissors.

Next to make the shaker. Now we have the cut out we need to make the window. For this I used a piece of acetate and glued to the backside of the shaker and cut off the excess. To create the dimension I used double sided foam adhesive and cut thinly enough to hide behind the shaker.

Next I glued the shaker to the base page. I had chosen the same paper as the base. I left a gap big enough to pour the sequins in at the top before closing up the shaker.

Now that the shaker was complete I went to work on embellishing with the elements from the cut a part sheet and chipboard pieces.

I am yet to add a phot as I want to save it for my Christmas 2020 photos.
