Fairy Stamper ~ Snow Globe Gift Tags

  Hello friends and welcome back to my Fairy Stamper Friday share!

Before I share my project with you today, I would like to remind you that we have 22  gorgeous Flower Fairies stamp sets and 5 new sentiment stamps that debuted on the Create and Craft show on Monday! These beautiful Flower Fairy stamps are available at the Fairy Stamper store.  You can purchase them individually or as a "must have it all" set at a discounted price. They are all gorgeous and I can't wait for mine to arrive.

In the meantime, I will share my next Christmas in July project.  Because there is such an awesome variety of stamps and dies at the Fairy Stamper store, in addition to all the gorgeous fairy folk, I was able to create these two tags using Christmas stamps and matching dies.

I've only made 2 of these shaker tags so far, but I'm planning on making another 8, one for each member of our family expected to be here in the US for Christmas.  Once those are done, I will share them with you.

For these I chose the cardstock I was going to use and cut out all the elements from the Snow Globe Gift Tag die set.  In order to turn this into a shaker, I cut out the snow globe 8 times.  I prefer to adhere multiple layers together  than using foam tape when making snow globes. I feel that they are a lot more sturdy and when looking at the sides, it has a cleaner finish.  Next I stamped all the tiny images, copic coloured them, and cut them out using their corresponding dies. Once I had all my bits and pieces I assembled each tag. I adhered 6 of the snow globe cutout layers to the back panel.  Next came the acetate layer and then the final front layer.  In order for the "snow" to move freely inside the snow globe, I adhered the tiny gingerbread tots and Santa to the front of the acetate.

I kept the back very simple by just stamping the "to" and "from" on it.

Here is a close up of the Santa tag. The little tree is on the inside but Santa has been adhered to the acetate on the front.

I used Twinklets Diamond Dust for my snow inside the shaker, since they are pretty small.

And here are the gingerbread tots.  The little tree is adhered to the acetate on the inside and the lil cookies are adhered to the acetate on the outside of the snow globe.  This way it was easy to cover the glue dot on the tree that I used to adhere it to the acetate.

Here you can see the Diamond Dust laying in the background.

Looking back, I think that a little red gem on the center of each embossed snowflake will look very pretty.  Will have to remember that when I make the others, and to be honest I'll probably go back and add it to this one too :-)

Here is the supplies I used.  I have linked each one to the Fairy Stamper store, for your convenience.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope you will come play along with us. Our challenges go live on the first Thursday of each month on our Facebook group.   All you have to do is to create a project using your stamps, and upload the pic to our challenge album.  Of course we would love to see projects using Fairy Hugs stamps, but it is not a requirement to enter our challenges.  We do however request that you use a stamp, not a digi.  There is a prize drawn for one lucky crafter, at the end of every challenge. 😀

Till next time,

crafty hugs!
