New release 🎄 “Winnie’s Wonderful Winter Wonderland – A Snow Globe Full of Christmas Magic!” ✨❤️

❄️ A Little Christmas Magic – MDF Snow Globe! 🎄✨

I’ve had so much fun decorating this gorgeous MDF Christmas globe, a fabulous new release from Polkadoodles! ❤️

I’ve created a wintry blue and violet background using Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Wilted Violet, then added plenty of festive sparkle with red and white glitter to Winnie, Winnie is a die cut and the clothes are a separate print sheet. I’ve applied gold gilding wax around the globe to give it that lovely touch of Christmas magic!

A little gingerbread cheer, a snowman and a sprinkle of sparkle – the perfect festive decoration! 🎅⛄

What do you think? Would you have this on display at Christmas? ❤️

Winnie White Christmas Pintables

This week for my DT card I've chosen to use a Winnie printable from Polkadoodles, isn't she super cute holding those gifts? I put a pocket on the front of the card so that I could have a place to put the tags for a birthday surprise, I left the tags blank on the back to enable the recipient to reuse them. hope you like this card?
