I believe the answer is:

dream up

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'invent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'flipping sweet wrapping paper' is the wordplay.
'flipping sweet' becomes 'dup' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wrapping' is an insertion indicator.
'paper' becomes 'ream' (a ream is an amount of paper).
'dup' placed around 'ream' is 'DREAM UP'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dream up that I've seen before include "Imagine, invent" , "Invent through imagination" , "'Devise or invent (5,2)'" , "Invent (something)" , "Concoct" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
