  1. Using the template, cut out the snow globe with a centre hole from Kraft card twice. Cut one solid snow globe from Kraft card and one from bright pink card.
  2. Glue the two snow globe frames together and sandwich a layer of acetate between. Glue the two solid snow globes together and score along the top edge.
  3. Die-cut two large snowflakes from white card and one from teal coloured card. Die-cut some snowflakes and glue together to create thicker, three-dimensional snowflakes.

Add a ribbon, sentiment and clear sequins to finish.
