Steps (7 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    Use the Cut ’Em Easy machine to cut out a circle with scalloped edges, a little larger than the perimeter of the transparent dome.

  2. 2

    Cut little houses, trees and a gnome out of different colours of Florence cardstock.

  3. 3

    Create a scene by layering the individual parts on top of one another: starting with the patterned paper at the bottom with the pattern facing up, then the cut-out houses and trees on top. Use a circle stencil the same size as the dome or a little smaller to cut out all of the layers in one go.

  4. 4

    Punch out the snowflake and stick all of the figures down using foam tape for added depth.

  5. 5

    Stick everything onto the scalloped circle and add some rhinestones for some extra sparkle. Place some snow and stars in the centre of the card.

  6. 6

    Apply glue to the edges of the plastic dome and and stick it to the card.

  7. 7

    Create a pendant by fastening a lace ribbon and jute twine to the ornament.
