Snow globe

another Valentine project, I made a snow globe using a Rick St. Dennis MFA digi

below the pics you will find how I made it (Also see Rick's blog for more details and ideas)

you will need a jar, glitter,ribbon, liquid glycerin, distilled water, a glue gun, laminator, some decoration

first clean the jar and the lid


I first coloured the cupid and cut him out (use some sturdier paper to print the digi on)

then laminated him to make the digi waterproof and cut out again (you have to make sure to cut around the image in a way that keeps it sealed in the plastic)

glue the laminated digi to the inside of the lid using glue gun and add some decoration, I used hearts and silk roses.  (make sure you can still put the lid on the jar when everything is glued on)

put some glitter in the jar and fill with distilled water and add some liquid glycerin so the glitter won't drop to the bottom immediately but will float a bit

put the lid on the jar and check if it is waterproof, to be sure you can use the glue gun to glue the lid on the jar to make it waterproof if it is still leaking

glue some ribbon around the edge of the lid

Valentine gift

Maybe a bit early but I made a Valentine gift using a Rick St. Dennis MFA digi. It's not to difficult to make. I used a cookie tin, see pic:

then I coloured the Christmas bonnet 1898 digi , I showed her to you before but here she's is again

Now the hardest part of altering the cookie tin is to fuzzy cut the image LOL. Now first some pics of the result and the I'll tell you what I did.

First I cut out a circle of designer paper that will fit the lid, I inked the edges with distress ink and put some ink on the rest of the paper to gve it an aged look.
The edge of the lid I covered with ribbon (using double sided tape).
Then I glued the digi on the paper circle.
The tin was covered by Tim Holtz paper saying: Valentines


hope you like how it turned out,

I will enter the following challenges:
