Afternoon all
I have spent the past day trying to get this blogger to cooperate, every time I think I've got it it crashes! So fingers crossed it works
Today I want to share with you a little Christmas Advent Calendar I made with the help of my trusty Silhouette Cameo!
The svg file I used can be found
here and for only $1 its a little bargain!
Firstly I gathered together my stunning
Juniper Berry cardstack and some white 12x12 card before running it all through the silhouette and cutting out all the pieces needed!
First I took the Interior Boxes to start making up to form the first part of the Advent
I found it easier to lay the cube shape flat to stick down the little tab
then fold out all the side tabs for sticking on the Advent Back
Add glue to all the little tabs and then stick down onto the base as below
Make sure you keep the tabs right up next to the edge
Next start adding all the rest of the cube shapes but making sure you over lap the tabs as above and keeping the bottom tab flush with the edge
It should eventually look like a this above. sort of like a cube shaped beehive
Next your going to form the inner side panels
this time sticking the tabs to the inside until you form another cube shape
Using glue or sticky tape, stick the frame into the middle of the Advent. This can be tricky so start my angling it into one corner then gentle pushing down the rest. Stick down the other tabs on to the frame
Do this again for the outside panels, just the same way adding plenty glue or sticky tape to hole everything in place
Make sure you keep it right up against the edge as above
It will look something like above but please stick down all the tabs (I didn't and struggled getting the next bit into place)
Take the Calendar Top part, sticking it down on the whole frame with plenty glue! Before I stuck it down I ran a blue marker round all the edges to match my colour theme
Keep it as close to the edges as you can. I added lots of
glitter glue at this point and set it aside to dry
Take the Calendar Drawers you've cut out, I done these in the
Juniper papers
and just start sticking the tabs down to form the little box
When you have them all made up, stick on your numbers
I hope you enjoyed my wee festive Advent Calendar and please let me know if you create one yourself
Till next time
