For today's project I created an advent calendar.
OK two!! one to send to my gran babies and the other to stay at my house. My 9 year old niece lives with me, so my sisters and I will be tackling this task tomorrow! It is time consuming to decide what papers to use (you need 25 sheets of cardstock or heavy PP) , than cut, put boxes/drawers together, ink, embellish...
When you purchase the advent calendar it come with a card to download both, the boxes and drawers. You have a choice on what to create. I chose to make 3 boxes (11, 13, 19) and 22 drawers. I cut the numbers with my Cameo too. For the 25, I chose to cut a Santa belt instead of using a number.
Closer look at the drawers/boxes on top

All PP is from My Mind's Eye Wonderful Winter glitter Christmas papers stack, black is Paper Co., DCWV for golden buckle. Inked with walnut stain from Tim Holtz and added black and red twine.
I almost forgot to mention that I first cut all the number and lay them on a craft sheet and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist.
I was running out of time because I have to ship this (overnight), but even though the paper is all glittery and I added Glimmer Mist to the numbers, I think I am missing some bling!!
