A festively decorated Advent Calender made using Stampin' Up! products

Christmas Countdown Advent and Alternative

Oh my goodness I love the gorgeous new Christmas Countdown Project Kit. It makes a super cute Advent Calender with a sturdy frame and pull out boxes which are a really good size – inside dimensions are 2” by 2” by 2”. Even better the kit comes with most of the elements you need to complete the calender.

There is a co-ordinating stamp set which I do not have to add a little customization to the decoration. I used stamp sets I already have to do this.

The calender was so quick and easy to put together as well.

The other fantastic thing about the calender is that each box has 4 faces – I turned the boxes 180⁰ and decorated them all using the lovely Bird Ballard dsp. Each square of dsp was cut to a shade under 2” by a shade under 2” and a semicircle  punched out with the 1” circle Punch. So many possibilities……..

I think I might use mine to store embellishments in.

Little Elephant Baby card for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the August Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop. This month we are focusing on Babies and Children and I have such a sweet card to share with you. I made this for friends who have recently had a sweet baby girl who they have named Phoebe. I chose to use the Little Elephant stamp set and the co-ordinating Elephant Builder Punch to make my card.

To recreate the Little Elephant card you will need;

Smokey Slate card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Rococo Rose 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2

I really wanted to use the gorgeous Stitched lace die on this card. I die cut it from one of the Whisper White cardstock panels and used the new die brush attachment for the Take Your Pick Tool to get all the little pieces out. I added this large die cut piece to the Rococo Rose panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I placed the die cut piece face down on my silicone mat and applied the glue with a piece of sponge.
