Today is Home Decor with Christmas with the Cricut.
Like I said yesterday, Christmas is my all time favorite holiday:)
I had so much fun making this advent calendar. I remember as a kid getting so excited about Christmas, and fighting with my brother and sister on who's turn it was to open the little doors on our advent calendar.
Memories.........
There was so much I wanted to show you with this project, that I had to make a video.
Thanks for watching!
Head on over to Teri's blog to see what she's done for home decor. She is amazing!
Supplies: Cricut Cartridge (Winter woodland, Storybook) pattern paper (Paper Loft); chipboard (DCWV); brads, button, and grommets (misc), Top Note Die (SU), Binder Rings (Staples), UTEE, ribbons and thread, Clasp (Tim Holtz), and Cardstock (SU and Bazzill)
thanks for showing your great advent calendar, christina!

I just love it!! Its so cute and what a great idea!! I just have a quick question for you though....Where did you get the ultra thick embossing powder and how do you only get it on the areas you want? I know when stamping you your stamp and the pad, but how do you do it on cut images? Do you just use the Versamarker? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea. Thanks so much. Keep up the great job.
ReplyDeleteThis advent book is adorable! Can't wait to make one for my kiddos!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite project you've done since I started watching your videos. All of the details are awesome and I love the EP!!!
ReplyDeleteChristina, you know I love all of your projects but WOW! This is just fantastic!! Love everything about it.
ReplyDeleteChristina- absolutely stunning!!! I can't wait to try this.

ps I started making my cards from the wild cards cart. Thanks for the inspirations... they've been turning out great and are so much fun to embellish.
Christina - this is a great idea thank you for sharing your talents with all of us.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable advent calendar. My great nephew would love one of those for Christmas. I think I will do it so that it is a countdown kind of calendar. I will start it at 24 and count down to 1. Your pages are just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteAnother great project, love it! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOoiieee! I love advent calendars and this one is just plain adorable! Thx for joining us... We feel so blessed to have you on our team and this project is one of the reasons why!!
ReplyDeleteChristina, This advent book is sooo cute. You did a great job.Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Christina! Love the advent book! It is so cute!!! I've never played w/ chipboard before. do you just glue down the paper on it? Is that how you covered the pages? If you could email me how you made one of the pages I'd appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this. Great job. Thanks for Sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the ultra thick embossing powder and how do you only get it on the areas you want?
ReplyDeleteDo you have a video using it?
I found UTEE at AcMoore. I think Michael's has it as well. You use it just like embossing powder with a VersaMark pad. It's great.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! Your Advent Calendar is FANTASTIC! I love everything about it! You could use the idea for a photo album, recipe book, etc! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and talent with all of us!
ReplyDeleteHugs!

I love your Advent Calendar! The detail that you added with the UTE was awesome. I may try this now, seeing how well it turned out in your project. OH well, another trip to the Craft Store!

Love it!! Is there a cut on any of the cricut cartridges that resemble the top note die from SU? I loved the look of your pages, but I don't have that die. Thanks so much and congrats on Christmas with the Cricut. Sandy C. sczcec@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and a how perfect is the WW cartridge for your embellies. I just ♥ every page! TFS!
ReplyDeleteChristina, I love it. I was looking for something differnt to make and this was it. I posted mine on the Cricut Message board.
ReplyDeleteCould you please tell us about the tool and the name of where to get it that you use in the advent calendar the pink one I think I need one, but I can not catch the name of it thanks so much for your help and the great ideas
ReplyDeleteTeri - If you're talking about the pink tool that sets the eyelets it's the Crop-A-Dile. WONDERFUL tool that you can find at any craft store.
