Maple Leaf Fun Fold

Maple Leaf Fun Fold

I’m always looking for different ways to use the images and dies in the bundles I buy from Stampin’ Up! The large maple leaf in the Gathering Together Dies remind me of a fun fold I created last year with the Hearts of Elegance Dies (now retired). See that post here.

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.

(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.
