I haven't seen the mini yet, but I'm guessing, since they're on trend right now that it might be a simplified version of this technique - Splitcoaststampers - Tutorials.
Apologies if I'm totally off the wall. But I'm planning to try this with the older SU ornament punch...

Thanks!
I sure do! I actually posted a free tutorial on my blog. The tutorial I posted is actually for a Halloween Ornament BUT the only difference between the 2 ornaments is that the Halloween Ornament I used Ribbon and for the Holiday Ornament- you use Tulle (instead of the ribbon). When you use the Tulle, cut a 20" long piece. Cut it in half lengthwise making 2- 20" pieces. Then cut the 2- 20" long strips into 10- 4" sections.

I actually just updated the tutorial yesterday so there are actually 2 tutorials on my blog. Basically the same- one is a halloween ornament and the other is the holiday ornament. I changed some of the directions as through my own trial and error I've found ways that work better than others.
My goodness ladies and gents, How long is it taking you folks to make these? Just wondering because I can't seem to make one in under 2 hrs. Of course that's counting the many coffee and bathroom trips!

I think it took me about 3 hours to do the one with the shortcuts - using DSP instead of stamping. It took closer to 6 hours for the one I did the stamping on. It takes me a long time to stamp and even longer when I cut out a stamped image with a framelit because of having to line up and center the framelit and the image.
Oh my goodness, that's an awful long time. I'm making several for package decorations as well as gifts. 2 hrs. in long enough for me!

I've got mine down to about 30-40 minutes for each ornament. But then again I've made WAY too many of them lol. The more you make the faster it goes! I promise!
Well I've made a little over a dozen and still takes me 2 hours. Are you making the ones that take 40 stamped and die cut pcs? If so I must be extremely slow!

Yep. 20 large and 20 small ornaments. Are you cutting both size ornaments out at the same time? If you cut your card stock to 3" x 11" and 2 1/2" x 11"- you should be able to get 5 of the large ornaments on the 3" x 11" piece and 10 of the smaller ornaments on the 2 1/2" x 11" piece. I also score 15 of each ornament so that folding them in half is easier.
Yup, I guess I'm just very slow cuz I do exactly the same as you. Must be my old age!

I only made 2 of them, but I don't think it took me longer than an hour all together.. yes, the cutting is tedious, but once that's done, they come along pretty fast.
