I made this card using 1 sheet of cardstock, a little glitter and stamps from <a href="http://www.artneko.com">About Art Accents</a>. Oh, I also want to mention that I used my new FAVORITE COLORING TOOL-MY <a href="http://www.letraset.com/shopaff.asp?affid=48">LETRAJET AIRMARKER AND PROMARKERS</a> to color most of this!</p>

<h3>How-to:</h3>
<p>Start with a 6&#8243;x8&#8243; peice of cardstock and fold in half to make a 4&#8243;x6&#8243; card. Stamp/write postcard info on back. Stamp something on the inside back. Cut a window out of the front and decorate front of card. Use double stick tape to adhere clear window to inside under the cut-out.  Add a border of double stick tape around the inside again, pour in some glitter and or punched shapes and press the card closed to seal it.</p>
<p>Now,  you will need to use a regular first class stamp to mail this because it is thicker and heavier than a standard postcard but just think of the &#8220;wow&#8221; factor! How cute would it be to make a snow-globe christmas card? If you are worried about postal machinery damaging your card you can mail it in a clear envelope so you still get the postcard feel.   This card qualifies for the following challenges: <a href="http://artimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/" target="new">Art Impressions Stamps Challenge</a>, <a href="http://www.craftysentiments.blogspot.com/" target="new">Crafty Sentiments</a>, <a href="http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/" target="new">Meljens Designs</a>, <a href="http://paper-craftingjourney.blogspot.com/" target="new">Paper Crafting Journey</a>, <a href="http://shellysimagesblog.blogspot.com/" target="new">Shelly&#8217;s Images</a>, <a href="http://stampinsanity.com/" target="new">Stamp Insanity</a>, <a href="http://someoddgirl.blogspot.com/" target="new">Some Odd Girl</a> (complimentary colors-yellow &amp; purple), <a href="http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/" target="new">Flutterby Wednesdays</a>, <a href="http://mymumscraftshopchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="new">My Mum&#8217;s Craft shop</a>,  <a href="http://clearitoutchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="new">Clear It Out!</a>, <a href="http://ladybugscraftsinkchallengeblog.blogspot.com/" target="new">Ladybug Crafts Ink TLT Challenge</a> (the bamboo stamp in the bottom front of card is my fave), <a href="http://mytimetocraftchallenge.blogspot.com/" target="new">My Time To Craft</a> (G is for glitter), <a href="http://oldiebutagoodiechallenge.blogspot.com/" target="new">Oldie But Goodie Challenge</a> and <a href="http://tuesdaytaggers.blogspot.com/" target="new">Try It On Tuesday</a>!</p>
