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.

Dec 2, 2019 | 2019 Holiday Catalog, 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Brightly Gleaming Product Suite, Christmas, Copper Tea Tins, Gifts, Quick & Easy, Uncategorized |
It’s hard to believe that it’s December already. Since Thanksgiving was later this year, it seems Christmas will be here in a flash. I spent the weekend putting up a few holiday decorations and decided that this year, I would scale back in comparison to past years. What’s great is the decorating is complete. I can now relax and enjoy the holiday touches.
That brings me to today’s project, an embellished Copper Tea Tin. Have you seen the Copper Tea Tins in the Stampin’ Up! 2019-2020 Annual Catalog? You can find them on page 173. Four tins come in the package. The tins are perfect for embellishing and for creating a quick gift. I plan to fill the tea tins with small cookies and candies for holiday gifting. A huge thank you to Patty Bennett for the inspiration! For this tin, the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper creates the backdrop for the embellishing. However, this particular Designer Series Paper is no longer available. If you do not have this particular paper, no worries as next week I’ll provide alternatives for embellishing the Copper Tea Tin.
Details for embellishing the Copper Tea Tin:
- Wrap a piece of 3″ x 12″ of Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper around the Copper Tea Tin, secure with Tear & Tape Adhesive.
- Cut a coordinating piece of the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper, 2″ x 12″ and wrap it around the first layer of Designer Series Paper.
- Color the 1/2″ Classic Weave Ribbon using the Dark Pretty Peacock Blends. Set aside to dry for a few minutes while working on other project elements.
- Using the Stitched Stars Dies, cut a star from Very Vanilla cardstock. Layer a large star from the Brightly Gleaming Foil Elements on top. TIP: use a glue dot in the center of the star to attach it to the Very Vanilla.
- On Whisper White cardstock, stamp the holly from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set using Mossy Meadow Classic Ink Pad. Use a Blender Pen to pull the ink from the stamped image and color the holly leaves. Fussy cut using Paper Snips.
- For the berries, use Night of Navy Classic Ink Pad to stamp another holly. Again, use a Blender Pen to pull the ink from the stamped lines to color the berries. Fussy cut the berries and add to the holly leaves with Mini Glue Dots.
- Stamp the sentiment from the Tiny Keepsakes stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock using Night of Navy Classic Ink Pad. Cut with the Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Dies.
- Assemble layers: first wrap the Classic Weave ribbon around the tin and tie on side in a knot. Add the star using Tear & Tape adhesive. Next add the sentiment tag and the Holly onto the star using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Complete by embellishing with Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
The tin is now ready to be filled with goodies!

Nov 25, 2019 | 2019 Holiday Catalog, Christmas |
Do you like quick and easy gift ideas? I do! When shopping, I am always on the search for items that coordinate with Stampin’ Up! products. Finding products that coordinate make it easy to create embellishments for dressing up an inexpensive gift. One such item I spied recently are the Ghiradelli Snowman Peppermints. The packaging and themed peppermints coordinate perfectly with the Let It Snow Suite in the 2019 Holiday Catalog. The Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Snowman Builder Punch combine with the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit to create a snowman tag for the package. With a few other touches, the embellished Ghiradelli Snowman Peppermints became a quick gift to have on hand for the holidays. Details for creating the tag is below the photo.
How to create the Snowman Tag:
- With the Snowman Builder punch, cut the snowman from the Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP).
- Create a base for the snowman from Real Red cardstock using the Pretty Label punch.
- Cut a 2-inch strip of the silver white dot paper from the Feels Like Frost DSP. Use Triple Banner Punch on one end of the paper to create the tag. Fold approximately 1-1/2″ over the top of the Ghiradelli Snowman Peppermint bag and adhere with Snail Adhesive.
- Use the Christmas Layers Dies to cut a piece the connected snowflakes from Sparkle Glimmer Paper. Attach to the Feels Like Frost tag using snail adhesive. TIP: Place Snail adhesive only in the area where the Pretty Label Punch will be placed. The adhesive will be covered so you won’t see it through the snowflakes on the finished tag.
- Stamp the Just for You sentiment from the #Elfie stamp set using Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Use 1″ circle punch to cut the sentiment.
- Referring to photo above for placement, layer the sentiment and the snowman onto the Real Red Pretty Label. The snowman is attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Embellish the snowman using the Let It Snow Embellishment Kit and randomly add Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the label base. Attach to the tag over the glimmer paper snowflakes using Snail adhesive.
- Complete by wrapping Real Red 1/8″ Curly Ribbon around the package twice and tie into a bow.
The Embellished Ghiradelli Snowman Peppermints are now ready for gift giving! Ghiradelli also has small packages of the Snowman Peppermints so you could add just a snowman and sentiment when you want to give someone “just a little something”.
