Christmas Countdown times Two

Why not get ready for Christmas with thIs hand-crafted Advent Calendar. It would make the perfect addition to any Christmas decor. You can fill these 2 1/8” x 2 1/8” boxes with some small treats. I’m going to full mine with Lindt chocolates. What will you fill yours with?



Today I’m going to show you two different ways I made up the Christmas Countdown Project Kit.
The first one is the supplies you’ll receive when you order the kit. You will definitely be able to decorate all of the 25 mini boxes.  Plus some extras.
And the second one is a little tad different. It has a little sophistication!
Almost like the little Black Dress with a touch of bling. 


I designed the second Advent Calendar by 
cutting out the letters with the Brass Foil that was adhere to the Foam Adhesive sheets to give it a bit of dimension.
With the Basic Black Card Stock I cut 25 2” x 2” squares. Then embossed them with the Winter Snowflake embossing folder.
I cut out 14 scalloped circles with the Layered Circles Framelits from the Brass Foil. I used these to place the numbers on. The  numbers were cut out with the Basic Black Card Stock using the Playful Alphabet Dies. And glue them onto the scalloped circles.  Then adhere them to the Calendar Squares.
The ideas to decorate this Christmas Countdown Kit are endless. 
You can make a Birthday countdown, Easter Bunny countdown, what about a wedding with something special in the last box for the Bride and Groom! There’s no limit to what you can do.
Thank you so much for signing up for my 12 Weeks of Christmas.
Have a wonderful week and we’ll see you all next Wednesday.
Cheers

Oh, it’s a beautiful World! 
This bundle is perfect for making masculine cards.
And you’ll also need the World of Good DSP. I’m loving the hints of Brass throughout the DSP.
The Brass gives that hint bling that’s not noticeable. 😂
And for those who know me I’m loving the bling! 

Here’s the how to’s
Card base is 8 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored at 4 1/4” on the longer side.
The Brass Foil is 5 1/4” x 4 “. You’re going to want to take your Globe die and the stars from the Stitched Stares and centre them in the centre of the Brass foil. And rumps it through your die cutting machine. The next layer is 5”x 3 3/4”. And the piece for the sentiment will need to be the size you need for your sentiment. Mine was 1 1/4”x 2 3/4”. I did trim it down to fit the sentiment.
I glued the layer with my liquid glue and added dimensionals to the Globe, stars and sentiment.

Wanting to thank you so much for stopping by.

Sunflower meets the Brass.

OH MY! I need to stop watching other Stampin' UP! Demonstrators. Why, because they make me buys new products. I wasn’t  going to purchase the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle . But I must say that after seeing what everyone was doing with it. It definitely was a must have. And to pair it up with the New In Colours makes for a gorgeous card, don’t you think?

To be honest with you I wasn't to keen on the Cinnamon Cider at first but it’s definitely going to be one of my favourites. And it matches perfectly with the Bumble Bee. And of course you need a little bling so I went with the Brass foil! 

Here's what you're going to need...

Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" 

Brass is 5 1/4" x 4 "

Then the next layer 5' x 3 3/4"

Scrape piece of Whisper White to stamp on

Some Old Olive for the leaves.

And a piece of scrape for the sentiment 

I used a piece that is 1' x 4 ''

Here's the video to complete the card. 

Letting you know that I did forget to switch the camera around. But I finally figured it out. HaHa!

Enjoy!
