Take one size smaller of the circle, layering the main size you chose and the one smaller to create a frame. Cut four frames out.
Use the main size die to cut out the acetate and put it to the side.

Note: You might need to use an extra piece of cardstock to create a shim depending on your dies and your machine.
Take the one size smaller and then one size larger circle dies to create a nice frame for the snow globe.
Adhere the snow globe base and background to the card.
Glue the four stackable frames together and then around the background piece on the card.
Add the confetti.
Adhere the acetate piece over the confetti, gluing it to the frame.

This is a wonderful idea. It would be a one of a kind card that would get noticed that's for sure. I read the directions and it's a little involved but I don't think it's something I couldn't handle. It's worth a try. And better now then at the very last minute.
