advent calander

Here is my take on Christine Emberson Advent calender ,I had booked to go on one of her course`s to do them but with my daughter down haven`t got much time left so I made up 24 bxs and asked my hubby could he make a bx fit fit them and he did he varnished it for me I didn`t have the labels 22 die Christine used for the backing of numbers so I used for different dies to keep up with the colour of card I used ,I have made three for my grandchildren ,2 for Angela and 1 for my sstep grandson ,
but I may have to make another 2 for my sister-in-law to grand children but she is letting me know,
there is going to be a twist on this will post when finished

So here it is


 Card from my local craft shop ,
number die from there as well
Spellbinders die for bx
variety of dies for numbers back and front

  8. Hi Melanie, I have nearly finished making seven of these Advent Frames, and now I need to get back to card making once I have added the finishing touches. Your Advent Calander is simply gorgeous, I know the amount of work involved in cutting, embossing and sticking these little boxes.
