Christmas Advent

I made another of my Christmas Advent calendars using the Lawn Fawn Tiny Gift Box die and Celebration Countdown die, this one was for my Mother-in-Law..


I used some old Christmas papers from my stash, I have lost the front cover so unfortunately I don't know the make.  They are quite easy to make but rather time consuming, the little bows take the longest.  I heat embossed the scalloped circle and the numbers and then die cut them all.  I filled it with a selection of chocolates and I'm pleased to say my Mother-in-Law loved it.


Thank you for popping in today, your company is much appreciated - please leave a comment so that I can come and visit you.

Oh, wow! Of course she loved it, I can’t imagine someone who wouldn’t. Picking papers, die cutting, embossing and folding, 24 boxes, it takes time so good it’s been truly appreciated. It looks fantastic.
