Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 9:41 pm

If you want to add a personal touch to your Christmas cards this year, why not add a photo inside a snow globe? Photoshop makes it easy to create this festive effect. Here’s how:

1. Start by opening the photo you want to use in Photoshop. If necessary, use the Crop tool to make sure the image is the right size and shape for your snow globe.

2. Next, create a new layer by clicking on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

3. Using the Elliptical Marquee Tool, draw a circle around the area where you want the snow globe to be. Make sure the circle is big enough to cover the entire image.

4. With the new layer still selected, click on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. This will hide everything outside of your circle selection.

5. Now it’s time to add some snow!

Choose a soft, round brush and set the color to white. Make sure your foreground and background colors are set to their defaults (black and white), then begin painting inside the layer mask. For a more realistic effect, try varying the brush size as you paint.

6. To finish up, add a festive message inside your snow globe layer using Photoshop’s Type tool. Make sure to pick a fun font that fits with the holiday theme!

PRO TIP: This article contains instructions on how to insert a picture into a snow globe in Photoshop. However, it is important to note that this process can damage your original image. Make sure to create a backup before following these steps.

With these simple steps, you can easily add a personal touch to your holiday cards this year.
