Advent Calendar

As promised here is the tutorial for the Advent Calendar I made for the Perth Heartfelt Stampin' Event held on 25 August, 2012.  I noticed after taking the photo that some of the little boxes are a bit wonky as they are attached with velcro and need straightening up after travelling around Perth yesterday on the backseat of my car. Oh well, it just adds to the charm.

The numbers do not show up very well, by they have been made from the new Champagne Glimmer Paper and give a sparkle to the Advent Calendar.

The little boxes hold a small Chocolate Money or Dollar piece.  If you are feeling generous a dollar coin also fits perfectly in these little boxes (this is Australian Money or course).

Freshly Made Sketches #26

I have had this idea for a card floating round for a couple of weeks, but was having trouble putting it together.  The sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches by Jen Mitchell got my inspiration happening,  the finished card is basic but effective.  I have used very vanilla and basic black as my colour scheme, the picture looks white and black, my photography leaves a bit to be desired.

Happy Birthday

A basic Happy Birthday card using circle punches.  It is quite effective stamping the word birthday on the DSP and then punching them out with the small circle punch and then backing them onto a co-ordinating circle made from cardstock.  All products used in this card are from Stampin Up.
