25 Days & Counting!

11/28/2014

This year, I had a desire to make an advent calendar to start a family tradition for counting down the days till Christmas.  I think the idea came in correspondence of seeing this pin on Pinterest.  I found the calendars at Hobby Lobby for $15.99 and then spent almost 5 hours decorating it!  The Designer Series Paper I used is called Candlelight Christmas and is currently on the Clearance Rack!  I used various number stickers I had on hand and the Memorable Moments stamp set and then a bunch of punches to decorate.  I found that Snail didn't work at all, so I used Mod Podge to adhere it.  Just be careful not so smear any ink!  I sold this one at a Craft Fair shortly after making it, so I guess it's time to make another one for our family!

On my second attempt, I decided to try the new photopolymer set, 25 Days, available in the current Holiday Catalog.  Since these stamps only come in photopolymer, you will need a clear block (the D Block worked well).  I used Old Olive, Real Red, and Crushed Curry for the ink colors and cardstock, and other than that, just a lot of punches!  This time, I tried mini glue dots to adhere and that seemed to work fine!  I like the unique way of numbering to give it a more modern feel.  Look forward to counting down till Christmas!
