It’s always fun to find alternate folds to use for card designs. Today’s design is a side fold shared by Patty Bennett during a team stamping event. So, I added the fold to my “must create” fun fold list. Using the So Many Snowflake Dies, multiple snowflakes are cut and layered to embellish the Snowflake Side Fold Card. The Winter Snow Embossing Folder creates the perfect background for the layered snowflakes.
Materials:
- Snowflake Wishes Bundle
- Balmy Blue cardstock: card base: 4-1/4” x 11”, score at 5-1/2” & 6-3/4”; scraps for cutting snowflakes
- Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper: 1” x 4”
- Whisper White cardstock: 4” x 4” (2 pieces – for front & interior)’ 1” x 3-1/2” for sentiment
- Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper – for large, medium & small snowflake
- Winter Snow Embossing Folder
- Misty Moonlight Classic Ink Pad
- Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems
- Snowflake Splendor ¼” ribbon
- Stampin’ Seal+ Adhesive
- Glue Dots
- Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
- Optional: Tag Punch to cut notch for ribbon
Directions for Assembly:
- Fold Balmy Blue card base along fold lines. Use adhesive to seal the card front to the card back in the area between the score lines (5-1/2” to 6-3/4”).
- Add the strip of designer series paper to the card front (sealed section).
- Texture emboss one of the 4” x 4” Whisper White cardstock pieces. Attach to the card front.
- Snowflakes: use the snowflake dies to cut a large, medium and small snowflake from the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and the Balmy Blue cardstock. After die cutting snowflakes, layer the cardstock pieces atop the glimmer paper pieces attaching with glue dots.
- Stamp sentiment onto strip of Whisper White cardstock using the Misty Moonlight Classic Ink Pad.
- Position snowflakes to the card front and attach using glue dots.
- Add sentiment strip using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Embellish the center of each snowflake with a Blue Adhesive-Backed Gem.
- Finish the card by wrapping a ribbon around the left side of card, overlapping ends on front of the card. Tie a small bow using the ribbon and attaching where the ribbon overlaps on the card front. TIP: to hold ribbon in place, use tag punch (or another punch) to cut a small notch wide enough to create a track for the ribbon
Be sure to give the side fold card design a try! And add the Snowflake Wishes Bundle to your order, it’s a great set for winter themed cards.

It’s time for the November 3-D Blog Hop! We were formerly the 3-D Tutorial Blog Hop but decided to make the transition to a 3-D Blog Hop. This enables us to offer you 3-D project and instructions directly on our blogs each month. This month we are featuring 3-D Christmas projects for you. So be sure to “hop along” to see the creative projects designed for you to use this holiday season!
One of my favorite small gifts each season are the Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers. Of course, this year the hand sanitizers are a necessity! I enjoy creating unique packaging for the hand sanitizers when presenting to friends and family. A small inexpensive gift becomes special when specially wrapped. Today’s packaging features the Snowflake Flake Wishes bundle.
Project Materials:
- Balmy Blue cardstock:
- Base: 1-3/4″ x 10″ score at 4-1/2″ and 5-1/2″
- Band: 1″ x 6″ score at 1/2″, 2-1/4″, 3-1/4″ and 5″
- Silver Foil: 2 pcs – 2″ x 2″ for snowflakes
- Balmy Blue Gimmer Paper: 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ & 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ for snowflakes
- Whisper White cardstock: 2″ x 2″ & 1-3/4″ x 1-3/4″ for snowflakes; 1/2″ x 2-1/2″ for sentiment
- So Many Snowflakes Dies
- Winter Snow Embossing Folder
- Scalloped Tag Topper Punch
- Banners Pick A Punch
- Curvy Christmas Stamp Set
- Misty Moonlight Classic Ink Pad
- Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon: 6″
- Blue Adhesive Backed Gems
To create holder base:
- First, punch the top and bottom of the 10″ strip of the Balmy Blue with the Scalloped Tag Topper.
- Then, texture emboss using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. Note: slide each side of the holder strip into the embossing folder up to the score line on each side. To seal the top, match the scalloped edges and close with glue dots.
- Now, wrap the band around the holder and seal the overlapping piece with a strong adhesive (Tear & Tape, Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Seal+). TIP: do not attach the band to the holder base but use it to slide up/down to insert or remove the hand sanitizer.
Embellishing Hand Sanitizer Holder
- Cut the snowflakes using the mid-sized and smallest snowflake dies. For my snowflakes, I cut the following: two Silver Foil using the same medium sized snowflake die; Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper: one using the 2nd largest snowflake die & one using the smallest snowflake die and from Whisper White cardstock: one small snowflake and one medium snowflake. Create the snowflakes by layering the pieces and attaching each with glue dots. To complete each snowflake, add a Blue Adhesive Backed Gem to the center. Notice, you will have one snowflake that is slightly larger than the other. Below is a photo of the dies used:
- Using Misty Moonlight Classic Ink Pad, stamp the sentiment onto the Whisper White strip. Then, create the banner end using the Banners Pick A Punch.
- Wrap the Silver Metallic ribbon around the holder band and adhere. TIP: place the seam on the front of the band so you can cover it with a snowflake.
- Add the largest snowflake with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional placing it over the seam where the ribbon overlaps.
- With glue dots, add the sentiment banner to the top of the holder.
- Finish by adding the remaining snowflake to the top of the holder beside the sentiment using a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional. Insert the sanitizer into the holder.
See how easy it is to make the hand sanitizer holders?
Remember, you can create a holders for a variety of occasions just by using different embossing folders and dies.
