 Hi everybody, it's Sarah from Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to make this really sweet. It's a snow globe but I've got so many ideas of using it in lots of different ways. One of them being a money box. I think if you were to cut a hole in here just with your cutting knife you could make it one of those money boxes that they have to break open once they've filled it or if you wanted to you could you know think of other ways to have it that they could take the money out but I think that's the fun is that they can't really get to it unless they ruin it but did you ever have one of those ones that you smashed on the floor remember I did when I was a child but these are just so nice and I think they would work really nice as like a seasonal piece as well so you could have this as a nice little piece it's an ornament so you could have you know one for spring summer autumn I think they would look great they would also I think make really nice tree decorations and you know the possibilities are endless and they work great for you know oh for everybody so they're really nice really fun to make and yeah let me show you how I did it okay so this is using the diorama elegant ornament die set this is by paper discovery now this one also has a coordinating die set which is the village die set and I don't have that one yet but it's really really sweet and this would make a lovely for like a new home so obviously it's a Christmas scene but if you were to die cut these in different colors you've got the kind of the hill there with the trees and you could have you know new home stamps and they do have that kind of thing to go with it but this is the one with the the snowflake here so it's got a bit more of a Christmas feel about it however you can change that completely and add to it maybe some other stamps and dies that you have around so you might have some real nice autumnal leaves and you could die cut this in a different color you could make a really nice spring spring one and you could have different kind of shaker parts inside of it and that's optional as well you don't need to do that there's actually multiple ways of using this and you can also use it to make a circular gift box so I will show you all the different ways in due course but first of all I wanted to show you how to make this one because I think once you've mastered this one all the rest are really easy it's just this is the one I guess adding all the elements so this is how it looks and I've already gone ahead and die cut what we need because you don't need to watch me die cut that's pretty self-explanatory so what you will need is to make this kind of encased shaker piece you will want to die cut two of the longest strip okay now I did cut mine on a four pattern paper you wouldn't be able to do it on 11 length 11 inch length because I think you'd miss too much of the tab and obviously 12 inches will be fine but I did get away with it on the three quarters of an 11 and three quarters which is the A4 length it's just very shy just missed a little bit there but you wouldn't know at all so two pieces I'm using that gorgeous holographic card by dovecraft because I'm going to do a new year's one which I thought would look really nice so you get all these pieces here then you want to have one of these here which is the base okay so that's creates this style here and then what I've done because there are the great thing about the paper discovery is they have lots of when Olga kind of brings out new collections they coordinate really well with other things that you might already have so if you already have the you know you've got the you've already got this one the next one that she's got coming out well we'll be out now by the time this video goes out is this one here which is the time on your hand die and stamp set so you get this lovely stamp here which is that one and then this huge die set here and I have a tutorial coming very soon using elements from this and it's really really sweet I've enjoyed using this one so with on within this stamp set here which is why I said it's great for you know all kinds of things you've got happy birthday you've got time to party time to celebrate take time for yourself so it would be a really nice maybe for a get well for someone that just need you know maybe they've taken some time from work just I think there's some so many nice little phrases here time to be happy and then on there's this lovely little sentiment here time is not measured by clocks but by moments so this can be used across the board and it's a perfect one for male and female depending on the cardstock you use so when I show you the other tutorial I've got coming again very soon it might even be tomorrow using this one it's a more masculine one and I think you'll be able to see how it can be used across you know all kinds of yeah anybody really so you also get the stamps here for your little clock um what's the name oh my gosh why is that gone from it come to me in a minute hands the clock hands you got the cogs enjoy the good times there's another one there and obviously your clock face so what I've gone ahead and done is on some heat um proof acetate I have heat embossed and stamped the clock face and then the time to party which you can just see there and that's using silver embossing then I've cut it out using the largest circle okay then with again with that largest circle cut another piece of acetate and this is for the back now this is optional you could have it as vellum you could have it as plain cardstock but I want to be able to see right through this one so that's again just using the acetate that's the largest one then you'll want the largest and the smallest pop them together with some washi tape so you get a nice even frame here and you're going to die cut two rings one in white because that's going on the back and one again in that lovely holographic cardstock for the front okay so that's everything that I think I'm going to need for this and then I've got the the tinsel I'm not sure if I'm going to use it or not but then it is new year so again you can you know you can go over the top but I'm going to be using these shaker pieces here which are white and silver mixed and I think that's going to work really nicely together so just pop that one away and then we want to start constructing now I am using for this one I used obviously a glitter cardstock and this one I'm using a mirrored cardstock so whenever I use anything that has a coating on it I always use the red sticky tape or double you know your red liner tape I'm going to bring my thicker one in here as well and I think that's everything I need so first of all you just want to go along and just curl these just to help them kind of go into that shape and then this one here you want to curl just the outer ones just kind of curl them up like that okay and then these ones you're going to fold down like that and then all of these little pieces you're going to fold down again it's all very easy these are you know quick to construct so if you want to send out some posh new year invites you know maybe you're doing a little dinner party how lovely would something like this be and then you just what's going to happen is because you've curled it that way when that folds in once we've attached all of our tape it will curve upwards so I just need to burnish that score line there and that one there okay so that's that piece kind of ready and then along here before you bend them all over what you want to do is add some sticky tape just a cheat way it's just kind of instead of cutting lots of little ones if you're not using you know a coated paper cardstock just use normal liquid glue it will be perfect so it's only I'm only using this because of the cardstock so just with your glue just dab little bits on top of all of those ones there and then with my thicker one I'm just going to run a couple of strips I've got all kinds of bits picked up on that one let's just remove that just along the top on it either any one you just doing it on one but I'm going to kind of hug one side like that and then with the other one just hug the other side and then I might just pop a thin one through that gap in the middle just then everything's covered obviously if you've got a it's about one inch section that one then you can just do it all in one go I need to order some more of that okay so as I always say whenever you're using this tape just go over it with your bone fold and just make sure all the air bubbles are out okay so take the backing off of the one where you've just covered the top there and we're going to stick the other one on top of it don't worry about doing the tabs just yet just leave them for the moment but then this one is going to stick over the top and what you want to do with this one is just line up this kind of side here in this tab with that one there so you're just bringing it in just slightly and just sit that one over the top just run it along the score line so it's all nice and straight like so okay and then you can kind of just curl it again okay and then you just want to go along and just fold all of these sides down okay I've just thought you want to actually put another line of tape on the back of one side again doesn't really matter which one so I'm just going to do it on this one here because this is what we're going to stick down first is the back so for me it's going to be just this plain piece of acetate and not the one that I've done the heat embossing on because that's for the front but just whatever you're having on the back so if you are maybe having this piece to write your message and stamp you would want to do that now and even write your message because there is you can put a bit of pressure on there but you wouldn't really want to write on that too much in case you know it did go through so I'd say do that now and then stick it down so I'm just going to take the backing off of this piece here and the easiest way to do it is just to sit it you want to line up the side of the the the circle here to that fold in there okay so if I just start it off on one of them you can see that just stuck it right up to this piece here and then just follow the curve of the circle as you wrap it around and push down on each of the tabs as you go around and that way you will you know you'll get a perfect circular shape each time make sure it does but right up and it will go right up to that score line okay and then the bottom will meet up and then what you'll want to do is add you should have some sticky tape on one side anyway and then this piece here is overhanging you could trim it if you want um I'm just thinking do I want to trim that piece yeah probably will let's just trim that bit off because it's going to go inside you're not going to see any of it because it will be inside this kind of where you know kind of dips in so now we've got this encased piece and that's now ready for us to stick you know to pop in our shaker pieces so again whatever it is you're putting in here you might not be doing that and this is where you don't have to have these two pieces you if you don't stick one underneath so you wouldn't have all these pieces on this side you just have an open piece now for you to build up a little scene inside and Olga has lots of inspiration on her channel I always say that whenever I use any of her dies um because obviously she's the lady that designed it so yeah so go and check her out I'm just going in there just before I start adding stuff um actually I'm going to die cut one more of these so just thought I don't want to see those pieces so what I'm going to do is stick that one inside so you still see right the way through so let's just take that one out so you'll want to die cut two of the the pattern or in whatever color you want I'm going to use the red tape and you just want to work your way around don't worry if all of the backing paper buckles because as soon as you peel it off it will you know it'll stick so I'm just kind of it's just again because I'm sticking on to acetate I want to make sure it all sticks really well so just take that one off and then again take the backing off so and then go in and it will fit perfectly because it's you know it's the exact size so just go around and that will conceal all of those pieces because on that one you can't see it because it's so white so that's why I didn't think about that one but that was really obvious with this one okay so make sure you've got no bits in there I always like to you get a lot of static with sequins and shaker cards and things like that but if you just if you've got an anti-static buddy I always like to kind of put it in there and then if you grab a just a dry brush and just kind of tap out any excess but just rub all that powder all the way around and then it just clean off everything but it will take away all the static so we've still now got a nice piece there and then I'm going to pour in now I do want quite a lot because I want this to really you know shake around all got a little robot I always get rogue ones oh if you've seen me I've done a unicorn shaker card I think it was and quite a few found it quite funny because I've put it all together and then there was this rogue odd colour in there and it was so funny but anyway yeah I've got a couple of black ones in here let's just take those ones out a blue one in there as well it'll be just my luck although there'll probably be another colour and I won't see it until it's all um sealed but never mind but pop it on its side and you can get a rough idea of kind of where it's going to kind of come up to I think that's going to be okay because I want you to be able to see the time to party as well against it so let's just put a little bit more for good measure there we go right so you need to be a hundred percent sure now that you are you know obviously happy with what you've done and what's inside and then you could even have like a little gift in there so they've actually got a break into it I think that's quite nice as well so you know you could have like I don't know a piece of jewelry like shaking around his side and then that person's like oh no or you could have something like maybe their favourite chocolate to tease them or something like that I think that'd be quite cool okay so now this one you just want to kind of do the same as what I did when I attached the back piece is start just on one side it doesn't matter where but you want to get it as close to the let's just take that off again because you're working with acetate you can peel it off so I'm just folding it down it's a little bit fiddly and just get that first one right down onto you know so the edge of this circle so hard to see the edge of this circle here this acetate one is running right on the edge of this piece once you've got one in place just work your way around and it will all you want to kind of get your finger in there just to stick most of it down get my ring stuck to it there and then the last ones now you've got this really cool piece do you know what they actually look quite effective but they're going to get covered but now you can see I probably could have done even more actually you see but it's a nice that's a nice piece I like that so now I need to die cut another one of these in the holographic because that is going to sit perfectly over the top there but I don't want the white on the front I want the I want the you know the same holographic so I'm going to take the backing off of the back piece and stick this one down and that will cover up all of the back but you can still see through it which is what I wanted okay so yeah I'm just going to get one of them cut before I do that let's just go on to this piece so again the same way you want to add some double sided tape along those three and the all of the all of the sides so both sides here and that top one okay and then just go over for those ones again just making sure they do kind of curl upwards like so okay and then take the backing off don't worry about the top ones for the minute because they kind of do them last but you want to push all of those sides in and then you're going to follow the side of this and just stick them to it and you can get in behind it it's quite easy to like that you go in underneath you can just go over there and just push down all those pieces and you'll get that effect so again with this one here just fold them all in bring up your side again I always challenge myself with you know a more difficult card stop but if you've got a normal one then it would be fine like that so you get a really cool side so you can imagine now how this is going to sit and look at the colors from it it's got a real cool new years look about it so next you want to take off the other ones and just repeat okay so now we've got this piece and then those will go inside and kind of just tack onto there like that I love it right I'm just going to go and get that one done for the front okay so I've just done that one again and then I'm just going to pop my tape on the back just like I did for the other one and just make sure that it hugs the outside there again you can add some pressure to this it would make a lovely decoration you if you were to hole punch through that before you closed it all put some nice ribbon through you imagine that on the tree I think that is I again if you again I would say if you follow me you know I am addicted to this card stock it's possibly it is my favorite I just absolutely adore it but what a lovely time to pipe what great invites those would make brilliant party invites so like I said you don't have to have it see through I do like it that it's all clear there so now we need to pop it into this which is completely optional but it just transforms it I think into something quite pretty so I think I am going to put the tinsel on it I think it can I think it can hold hold the tinsel so it's just literally just it is tact is you want to make sure once you go down that it's straight so make sure you've got your 12 facing you know upright and then just push that in you could add some more tape to the front pieces if you want to now in the um the die set do get these other panels so this one here will die cut another panel to go on the top and because I'm using this card stock I think I'm going to do that one and this one here will die cut little stars I guess they could be yeah they are stars it could be you know little snowflakes you've got snowflakes there I wonder if they fit they could probably go along there and then that's obviously the big one that I used for that one but I didn't use on that because I just thought it would be a bit lost but because I've got lots of little scraps here let's um see if I can get it out of this one no I'm gonna have to use a piece from here so I'm just going to die cut that one okay I've just die cut that I keep thinking of more things what about like save the date or a hen party invite just the circle piece I think they're brilliant I've got lots of ideas and I have a few things going on next year so it could uh definitely come in handy for that so I've just died cut it but now I'm thinking actually I'm going to use some foam I think it might be quite nice to have it just lifted a bit so let's just pop a couple of little pads on the back and then we can see how it's going to look with the what I've just realized I've done but it's going to get cupboard is you want to make sure that you join is obviously underneath there so when I stuck this down make sure when you stick it down it's you've got your drawing at the bottom so I am definitely going to use the um the tinsel there just because I think it will hide that a bit but now you can sit that and it gives it that kind of mantle clock piece you see there it's quite sweet so now just push that on there a little bit more I've got some of this wired tinsel let's just have a little look how it looks against this oh yeah I think it looks lovely so I've got my hot glue on and all you want to do is just add a little bead I love using the skinny tinsel I've used it so much this year so let's use it for one more project for for new year and then you just want to sit it on the edge there let that grip to the glue what a fun little piece love it love it love it it's got all my favorite things on this tinsel glitter the cardstock so I'm going to do it on the back as well because I think it will frame you just frame that quite nicely there we go look at that cool piece of a little bit of artwork I think these are fantastic I kind of wish I had them before because I think I would have done quite a few Christmas cards with these I mean I've still got a bit of time maybe we can squeeze some in but um I think they're just so much fun decorative just as a little ornament a nice little save the day a very posh tree decoration there's just endless possibilities and you would definitely see me pulling these out because yeah I've already got more ideas to kind of go from you know let's go a little bit more mad with them see what we can do so yeah have a little look at the links below check out all like the additional pieces because like I said before a lot of the dies do coordinate and work with other sets as well so I love these I think that absolutely brilliant thank you for watching today I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial please give me a thumbs up if you have and consider subscribing so you get to see more thanks for watching bye
