I made the Advent calendar below with my Grandaughter Sofia in mind, sadly she won't be here until about the 20th of December. I think by then Peter my lovely other half will have consumed
the chocolates from numbers 1 - 19.

I got the idea for this at a training day in July, I just played around reduced the sizes and ended up with this.

I covered a 12" x 12" piece of card with a sheet of Cherry Cobbler 12" x 12" card stock. Measured out 25 squares. I cut 8 12" x 1/4" strips of Old Olive and stuck them in place to define the squares. I then made 24 3" x 3" treat pouches numbered them 1 - 24. I stuck 1 in each square, popped a chocolate Father Christma in each. The centre square unmber 25 I used the Fancy Flower, Scallop Circle and 1 3/8 circle punches, 'Joy at Christmas comes from Perfect Punches stamp set. I really wanted to put a special little treat behind this one but all I could find that would fit was and Elizabeth Shaw mint crisp.


I keep all my scrap pieces of card in plastic wallets, 1 for each colour family. They have all got so full I decided to use some up my making some tags.

I used the Sizzlits Lots of Tags Die, and the Extra Large Oval punch for the tags.
The Square Lattice Embossing Folder for the mat on the top of the box.
