Are you a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas cards? Do you prefer the holiday colors of reds and greens? Or do you like something a little different?
I find I’m a little bit of both!
For today’s card, I steered more toward the non-traditional with Night of Navy and gold while using Stampin’ Up!’s Hang an Ornament Bundle, now available from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. I think you’ll love the price point of this bundle at $29.50. It lends itself to creating some quick and easy, but beautiful holiday cards.

Yay! Stampin’ Up!’s holiday catalog is now here! The September-December 2024 Mini Catalog was live Wednesday, August 4, 2024. What does that mean? It means you can start shopping for the paper crafting goodies to create your fall and holiday cards. It’s filled with brand new stamp sets, dies, bundles, Designer Series Paper, ribbons, and embellishments. So much to love.
In today’s post, I share a few cards created with a brand-new bundle — Hang an Ornament. The unique design allows you to create a “pop out” ornament that recipients can hang on the tree or use as a gift tag.
I love the price point of this bundle. It sells for $29.50. Find it on page 44 of the new holiday mini catalog. In addition, on all three cards in today’s post, I used the Take a Bow 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.
