As the title says “This Christmas Bubble card Says it All.” We are all in our own bubble this year. The vaccine is here but not in time to save the big family Christmas. Let them know that you wish you could be there but can’t.
COVID is spoiling the most important of family events this year. I hope that everyone is well and I want you to stay that way. This is a really simple card and the snow family is just adorable! And it fits into an A7 envelope for mailing. If you want to make your own fancy envelope, follow the instructions in the envelope video tutorial here.
I wanted to do the base card for this Christmas bubble card in patterned paper, but at the time, I didn’t have any (Now I do). I did manage to make the “Merry Christmas” on the front in glitter paper. The base card needs to be heavy paper (at least 65 lb. wt.) and two sided. The rest can be done with any paper or color you want, but I would make the snow white.
Cut the card base and the Cricut will do the writing. I used a black Cricut pen for the writing inside this card. I used one of my own fonts CMV Polka Dot to make this card because it filled in. You can find out more about fill in fonts here.
I moved the pictures around the mat to save paper. Some people have been having problems with this in the new version of Design Space, but I haven’t as long as I stick with Access images.

Start by re-creasing the fold. Then assemble the snow globe. The snow drift goes between the layers of the globe. The little “kid” goes on top of the snow drift and the rest of the family go behind the drift. Finally glue the snow globe to the front of the card. If you want you can stick the snow globe together with foam tape to give it some dimension.
On the inside, place the snowflakes randomly. I thought the sentiment was a little plain so I framed it in washi tape. I have way to much washi tape (used to think that wasn’t possible). This is totally optional but I really think it helps.
And your Christmas Bubble Card is done! It fits into an A7 envelope for mailing.
