I could, I've got the plotter, so I can either use ink (stamps or stencils) to create a one layer card. I could even use a picture (though I'm personally not very fond of Christmas cards of photo's of the family). I can cut them into puzzle pieces. As I said, the card itself will be a simple one layer affair, but the puzzle element adds to it. The cardmaker used a die to cut her card into puzzle pieces, but that's only available in the US size, a die would be easier, IMHO.
I've just put together the two snowglobes. The first was the "simple one", I glued it all together. It will fit on a regular EU sized card. The second one is slightly bigger, but it will fit on a 15x15cm (6x6inch) square card. It did have a lot more elements, and then I didn't even use the teeny tiny window casings. I mostly used my sticker maker for this one and it made it a lot easier. But instead of making 15 of each, I'll make 10 of the more intricate one and 20 of the simpler one.
I've made a plan how I want to start working on it. First die cutting all the pieces, then when I have to big sticker maker I can quickly put them together.
This is the third year I make fairly intricate Christmas cards. It's a nice idea to have something relatively easy next year. It'll also be fairly cheap, since I plan to use stamps and stencils I already have.
