❄️ Flap‑Fold Winter Card Featuring the Sweetest Snowman by Janet

There’s something magical about winter crafting - especially when it involves a fun fold and a charming snowman. Today’s project is a flap‑style fun fold card that brings together soft winter colors, playful textures, and a sprinkle of sparkle. While we humans may not be loving the cold weather right now, our snowman couldn't be happier!

The star of this card is the adorable snowman from the 6107 – Snowman Hugs Set. I colored him with Copic markers, giving him a green winter coat and a pink hat and scarf for a cheerful, non‑traditional palette that still feels perfectly frosty. He was cut out using the dies in the set and mounted on the diamond with foam tape. As a special little touch, I added a small red cardstock heart to his jacket. 

For the foundation, I used a blue cardstock base—a cool, wintry backdrop that pairs beautifully with the patterned papers from the 5963 – Winter Woodland Paper Pack. The flap fold adds an interactive twist, making the card feel extra special before it’s even opened.

To bring in that snowy magic, I added white glitter cardstock snowflakes using the 5353 – Lg Snowflake Dies. These large, shimmering flakes create a gorgeous layered background behind the snowman.

For the finishing touch, I scattered sequin snowflakes in silver, blue, and pink across the design. They catch the light beautifully.

And of course, sentiments were added to provide the perfect message. On the front flap, I added “Bundled Up and Full of Joy”—a perfect match for this cozy winter scene. Inside, I included the playful sentiment “There’s snow one like you”. Both are sentiments included in the Snowman Hugs Set. To keep the sparkle going, I sprinkled more sequin snowflakes around the inside sentiment for a soft, shimmering finish.
