Golden Ornament Wrap – 12 Weeks of Christmas Project 12

Dec 18, 2018 | 12 Weeks of Christmas, Christmas, Holiday Catalog, Shop, Stampin Up | 0 comments

This golden ornament wrap was created with the All is Bright Designer Series Paper and the Tags & Tidings.  It’s a great holiday wrap and tag combination for the holiday season.  I really love all the paper in the Holiday Catalog this year.  It makes it almost impossible to choose.  So I decided to make a bunch of projects using all the different papers.  Maybe I have a DSP obsession.  Enjoy the last 12 Weeks of Christmas project and Happy Holidays.
