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.

Z-Fold Gift Card Holder

Do you give gift cards as gifts? If so, you need a way to package them! In today’s post, I share an idea for a z-fold gift card holder using Stampin’ Up!’s Reindeer Days products.

This fun and festive Reindeer Days Suite Collection features a variety of reindeer-themed stamps, dies, and coordinating products. Although the cute little reindeer pictured above looks like it might be difficult to create, it’s not! Be sure to watch the video below. I show you how quickly this little guy goes together.

(Note: Those cute Peppermint embellishments pictured in the bottom left corner have been super popular and have been in and out of stock since the September-December catalog went live.)
