With the holidays over, it’s time to gather up photos and share with family and friends, especially if you tend to be the designated photographer in the group.
Add a personal touch to your presentation by creating this festive CD Folder to hold those photos and include a special message or provide a place for them to journal their own memories themselves of the holiday.
Therm O Web can help put this project together in a snap and help you kick off the new year sharing your fabulous photos with those you love.

- Apply strips of Therm O Web 1/8” Supertape along the sides to be sealed on the folder, remove the protective strip and press the folded areas firmly.
- Embellish inside of folder simply with pattern paper strips and a scalloped decorative border. Apply Therm O Web Silver Glitter Dust to black cardstock label for extra sparkle, let dry thoroughly. Then use Therm O Web Mini Runner to adhere pieces. Add words with alpha stickers to complete.
- Create a simple note or journaling card to insert into the left pocket. Cover the photo CD with pattern paper by applying a sheet of iCraft Adhesive to the back of pattern paper. Cut a 4.5” circle and press firmly onto the top side of the CD, then insert into the right pocket.
- For the front of the holder, pattern paper to cover background, a die cut a label from black cardstock and 4 snowflakes from pattern paper and vellum. Spray all with Silver Glitter Dust and let dry. Also cut pattern paper strips to create a border below the label.
- Layer pieces to create the cover of the folder, adhering these with the Therm O Web Mini Runner.
- To attach the label, apply several Therm O Web 3D Adhesive Foam Squares to the back and position just above the border strips.
- Layer the snowflakes with Therm O Web 3D Zots and adhere them to the top and bottom opposing corners of the label with 3D Adhesive Foam Squares. Add a little sparkle by applying pieces iCraft Adhesive Sheet to white cardstock, then punch small circles to be adhered in the center of the snowflakes. Use Therm O Web Bling Zots to attach the small gems, as shown.
- Finish the front cover with alpha stickers for the title/subtitle and use hemp as a closure for the folder.
