Hang an Ornament in Gold

I’m back with a Christmas card post after the last brief break with a heart fun fold. (Missed it? Click here to view the post.)

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up!’s Hang an Ornament Bundle in conjunction with the gorgeous Season Elegance 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper. I just love the gold accents and swirls in this patterned paper.

Stampin' Up! Hang an Ornament Bundle

One important note: Find the Hang an Ornament Bundle in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. However, Stampin’ Up! just released the its list of retiring products. (We need to make room for new products coming in the January-April 2025 Mini Catalog.) The stamp set and coordinating dies are slated to retire. Click here to view the Last Chance category on the online store. If this bundle appears on your wish list, be sure to purchase it sooner rather than later.

Fun Fold Gift Packaging

Fun Fold Gift Packaging

If you’re looking for a unique way to package a gift, I have a great DIY paper crafting idea to share today. It’s a fun fold using a 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper. It’s so easy! With a few quick creases, you can create a pocket to hold a variety of gifts. Add a few embellishments, and you’re good to go. It’s super cute and is sure to wow. Think of all of the possibilities. A great way to use some of the pretty paper you’ve been hoarding. 

Fun Fold Gift Packaging

For today’s project, I used a variety of Stampin’ Up!’s products:

  • One 12 x 12 sheet of Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper. Select this gorgeous package of double-sided paper free during Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration sale with a $50 order before tax and shipping. Watch the video below to see how it’s folded. 
  • Gold Foil die cut with Deckled Circle Dies — fifth from largest. Find the Deckled Circles Dies as an Online Exclusive.
  • Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper (heart pattern) die cut with Deckled Circles Dies — sixth from largest.
  • “Love” image (available as a Paper Pumpkin add-on) die cut with Real Red Card Stock with Stampin’ Up!’s Foam Adhesive Sheets.
  • Real Red ribbon

How-To Video

In the video below, a Facebook live replay from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, I give step-by-step directions for creating this fun fold.

My project is a cute DIY Valentine treat box. I modeled it after the sample found on page 3 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog.
