Happy Friday lovelies
I hope everyone is well? Have you all been crafting? What have you been creating? I’ve had some very fun pieces recently on my craft desk for some upcoming magazine pieces. I can’t wait to share them with you and promise I’ll have a wee tutorial with something fun
Today I’m sharing another YouTube Tutorial with yous
I’ve created a wee Advent Calendar Book using one of my older Tutorials I did for a magazine piece. I make this more traditional red based one in the Tutorial but I have the Blue one below to show how easy you can change it to suit
Both created the same way but looks completely different.
The red one I used really old First Edition 12x12 Papers teamed with some Altenew stamps and dies for the Poinsettia flowers and foliage. The Blue I used VERY old Crafter’s Companion papers and the matching Snowflake dies. I have some similar papers suggested at the bottom under my materials if you’re looking to make with an almost matching colour way.
I made al the little individual boxes using the pattern papers from the paper pads for the lids and the bases from cardstock. I added wee die-cut numbers that I made up on my Silhouette Cameo and cut out then added to the boxes with hot glue.
Both Advents I used some ribbon from Hobbycraft and gems from my stash to add my usual bling.
If you fancy making your own you only need a few bits to get started plus your pattern papers. So check out the Tutorial to get started making yours. Ohh and check out my wee Giveaway!!
Well that’s it for today, hope you will check out my wee Tutorials or maybe one of the others?
Until next time
