Hello and Merry Christmas! You should have arrived here from Bekka's blog on the tour of the 12 Blogs of Christmas. This fabulous tour was set up by the lovely Carolynne to show lots of fantastic Christmas gift and card ideas using the Stampin' Up range of products.I have 2 lovely projects to show you today. The first is a Countdown to Christmas calendar which I am going to use in my classroom with my class. My children always get really excited about Christmas. My school officially declares Christmas to start on December 1st and I know my kids will be counting down the days so as well as an advent calendar they will have this more prominent one!
Recipe:
Stamps: Just Perfect Alphabet, Schoolbook Serif Numbers
Papers: Garden Green textured cardstock, Real Red textured cardstock, Whisper White, Merry Moments DSP
Inks: Real Red
Accessories: 1 3/4" circle punch, Scallop Circle Punch
My next project uses the Simply Scrapping kit Christmas Jingle and some Real Red grograin ribbons.
These are the contents: 2 sheets each of 12x12 textured cardstock in Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, real red and Old Olive; 3 sheets of 2 different double sided patterned papers, 2 sheets each of 3 different self-adhesive die cuts.
I managed to make 13 A6 sized cards and a box to put them all in....
...11 3x3 ins cards and a little 4x4 in pizza box to put them in...
...and 10 gift tags!!!
This is the whole collection of the 36 items. This is such a fantastic scrapping kit that doesn't have to be used for scrapping at all.
And this is what I had leftover! 2 full sheets of DSP, just over 1 sheet of die-cuts and scrappy bits of cardstock. So I still have plenty of bits to make a few more cards, I just need to add the cardstock now.
I hope you've enjoyed looking at my projects and everyone else's on the blog hop. Thank you for visiting us all!
Now it's time to hop on over to Monica's blog and see what gorgeous projects she has come up with for you.
