Advent Tree Calendars

Hello Marcia here to share a fun Advent Tree Calendar that I made using the Doodlebug North Pole collection and an SVGcuts file. This 3 dimensional calendar is going to be displayed on my fireplace hearth. I wanted to use some bright cheery paper with lots of pattern choices for variety. This collection has some adorable matching stickers and those fabulous Doodle-pops for dimension too.

These were so fun to make I couldn't stop at decorating the front, I had to decorate the sides too.

Each tree is constructed from sturdy cardstock and then embellished with pattern papers.

and each of the 25 doors open to stash a piece of candy or small toy...

My kids are older, but they still love getting treats :)
What are you crafting this year for the Holidays?

It's a Count Down!

Hey everyone!  Practical Scrapper Michelle here with a fun Advent calendar for you.  This is a workshop that I am teaching in my area (and long distance).  It was so fun to put together!  Let's take a look!

The full calendar is fairly long, but oh so pretty hanging on your wall!

I've used the new paper packet,Sparkle & Shine, from Close to my Heart's Holiday Gift Guide to pretty up this advent calendar.

I've used doodads and thing a ma jigs to add some dazzling sparkle to this fun calendar.  {That's Bitty sparkles, Sparkles, Red Glitter Tape, Slate Polka Dot Satin Ribbon, red & white bakers twine}

There are 30 pre-printed sayings included with this workshop.  That gives you the opportunity to use the ones that you would use, and have a bit of flexibility.

With the ribbon, twine, and glitter tape, there are many different textures on this advent calendar!  So much fun to look at, and count down with!

Have a fabulously crafty day!
