Advent Calendar




 This was so much fun to make and surprisingly easy. I used My Digital Studio™ and the download 25 & Counting by Stampin' Up!™ to create the days stamps. The stamp set was in the Holiday Mini but at $44.95 a little pricey; however the download was only $7.95. I used MDS to print a sheet with all 25 stamps on Whisper White using my inkjet printer. The 1" punch works perfect on these! 



The windows were made with the Peek-A-Boo window die. I used Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip and Real Red. Most of the embellishments were bits & pieces leftover from other projects.   

The base is a 12 x 12 piece of chipboard covered with some Whisper White.  I used the Eyelet Border Punch to create a frame.

Another Quick & Inexpensive Gift


Here is another quick gift for Christmas or any occasion. You could also give a tin of Christmas thank you cards to be used after Christmas. I decorated yet another skinny tin; this time with note cards to match. It is hard to tell in the photo but behind the cards are envelopes that have been stamped. I didn't want the cards to be too "bumpy" so they would fit in the tin so I just wrapped the ribbon around without tying. These note cards are smaller than the regular A2 quarter fold cards but they are a great bargain. For only $5.95 you get 20 cards and envelopes. Four cards and envelopes fit nicely inside the decorated tin. I think I will make several sets of these in different colors to have on hand as a quick gift. You could sneak a little cash inside, place them inside a basket with some lotion & body spray or just give them alone.
