Christmas Calendar Countdown

So it's been awhile since I've posted on my blog. I'm still very new to this and have to remind myself to take pictures of the projects I do and post them here.

So, here's my latest project. A countdown calendar I made for my kids using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge from Close To My Heart. I made 2 and there super easy. (I got this idea from a fellow CTMH consultant Beverly Tiemann)


I cut 24 little "french fry" boxes out of the CTMH Believe paper at 2 3/4". I cut out 24 X 1" circles using white cardstock, edged them with holiday red and topiary ink. There's a 2" strip of topiary at the top and bottom of a 12x12 white cardstock. The little stockings are cut at 1 1/2" and hung on a piece of hemp with a cranberry brad. The title "CHRISTMAS" is stamped using the poster alphabet stamp then cut out and edges with glitz glitter gel. I then mounted the calendar onto a piece of foam board, and hung it up with a red ribbon.

My kids absolutely love this countdown calendar. I took them to the Bulk Barn and they got to pick out their own treats to put inside.

Hope you like it!
