One other thing, is it me ?? ... or have you noticed over the past few years, that many of the new thin die sets are full of teeny, tiny pieces. This was a challenge to make because of the size of ... the windows, the door, the roof, the lamp posts. But it all came together and I'm so happy with how it turned out. There's also lots of dies within the set, so you can choose what to use in your winter scene (or use them all!). :) I placed the finished snow globe onto a card base dry embossed with beautiful snowflakes.

As mentioned above, I'm sending this card to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge #106. Thanks to Jo and her wonderful Guest elf Chris, for this fun challenge! And because this is the first time using this sweet snowglobe die set, I'm sending this card to NBUS Challenge #82.
Edited to Add: I meant to add another challenge - If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge #212 - Cabin in Winter. Mine is not a cabin, but a house ... hope that's OK.
Thanks for stopping by!

I do LOve pink on a Christmas card - your pink sky is so lovely, Loll!
=]
Oh I love a snow globe, and that pink just brightens it up and makes me smile.
Beautiful! I would never have thought of a total pink sky but it works magic! Congrats on using your set and thanks too, for the warning on small pieces -- I have yet to use mine and am now fully forewarned - lol.
The pink background is so pretty Loll, and the houses, lamp posts and sleigh are perfect inside it, and a wonderful embossed snowflake EF giving a beautiful looking background. x
WOW!!! Genialna karta i wielki powrót po przerwie, moja kochana Loll. Różowe niebo wygląda bardzo odświeżająco! To jest wyjątkowa kula śnieżna i idealnie prezentuje się na tym wspaniałym tłoczonym tle. Uwielbiam tę kartę i coraz bardziej przekonuję się do koloru różowego :-).

So pretty, Loll, always nice to see a pink sky on a card.
Great card! A good way to start off the Christmas stash.
Hi Loll! Your card is beautiful and I'm loving the pink on this pretty scene. I'm happy that you're jumping back into stamping! The dies are getting harder to work with and tinier, I agree. But the results on this card are so amazing!
Fabulous snowglobe with the pink sky, Loll - love it! So pretty atop the embossed snowflake background too!!
Love your pink Christmas card Loll. Glad you persevered with all those tiny pieces as it turned out great.
Beautiful card Loll, so pretty in pink and grey.

Your pink sky in just marvelous, Loll! I like the little gold lamp posts and golden glow from the windows too. Pretty pretty card!
Your snow globe scene is delightful, Loll, especially with a pink sky. I agree there are a lot of tiny pieces but the realistic look makes it worth while IMHO.
You know I love pink too Loll, and your pink sky in this delightful snow globe scene is wonderful!! I too am finding that the dies seem to be getting smaller and smaller, but then I wonder if it's just my arthritic hands/fingers that make them seem smaller?! Guess we just have to soldier on!! Sweet, sweet card my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Love all of the tiny detailed pieces Loll! Gorgeous with the pink background, Cathy x
Wow! You sure pulled off this one! I adore Snowglobe cards and scenes! Love it so much! Thank you for joining us at Christmas Kickstart Challenge!
Love the use of the snow globe to make a pink Christmas card! That's a really nice embossing folder you used on the card base.
Beautiful embossed snowflake background indeed Lol. Your snowglobe is stunning and worth all the fiddling around with the small bits. :)
How very beautiful, I love the pink in the globe and the "tiny" details too. I agree about the casing, it helps a lot. x
This is beautiful, Loll. I love how you played our theme with a beautiful pink sky. And I totally hear you about the tiny die-cut pieces. Well done for juggling all the tiny doors and windows and those sweet lampposts too. So happy to have you play along at The Christmas Kickstart challenge with Chris and me, Jo x
You did a fantastic job of putting these teeny-tiny pieces together for you sweet snowglobe, Lolly! It does seem that there are more tiny pieces in the dies and I love the dimension and texture they add, but my patience is sorely tested!
How clever this is in your favorite color. I just posted and you can use my inspiration to get you going!
I do love a snow globe, and this one is so pretty. The embossed detail in the background looks fab too xx
I am chuckling, Lolly! Are we on the same wave length or what? There I was yesterday, talking to you about teeny tiny dies and you had just made this! Nevertheless, you did a brilliant job with all the pieces to make this a yearly decoration for the lucky recipient! I love the sky in pink and the gorgeous embossed background! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Love, Dolly
Gosh, this is so pretty, Loll! Our winter sunsets are oftentimes pink, but I don't get to see such a charming scene when I look across the street. Loving that filigree embossing folder, too. The tiny pieces are off putting for sure. I definitely have my limits when it comes to putting them together, but just look how beautifully you accomplished this. Wonderful!
Your winter snow globe is so pretty in pink! Adorable, Loll.
What a beautiful snow globe! Very pretty in pink & white.
Adorable! I love it!!! Thanks so much for participating in my IF YOU GIVE A CRAFTER A COOKIE... challenge!!! I appreciate that you play along and I enjoy visiting your blog!! Have a happy crafty day!! Deanne at A Little Bit O’ Paper
That must have been so fiddly to make - well done for not getting glue everywhere! Lovely card. I also find Case-ing a good way to deal with crafter's block.
