Advent Calendar - Recycle Idea for a Bingo Gift

  

The Advent Calendar is still available while supplies last Shop with me It is on the Last Chance List. 
So, after I made some cards and projects with my Advent Calendar, I recycled the box to use for a Bingo Prize and filled it with a few goodies inside.  Some of the items were Stampin' Products, some candy, and some handmade projects.  I had to find things that would fit in each day.  Hope if you bought this Advent Calendar, you were able to recycle it too.  I would love to hear your ideas.

Pine Tree Trimmings

This is a card I made using the Pine Tree Trimmings.  It was inspired by a card by Erica Cerwin, but I changed it somewhat using Gold Foil instead of Silver Foil.  I add the gold stars to the tree instead of making a shaker card.


Stamp Set:  Pine Tree Trimmings

Cardstock:  Secret Sea, Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, Basic White, Cherry Cobbler, Gold Foil, Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive

Other:  Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Pine Tree Trimmings Dies, Fright Night Dies (Banner), Everyday Arches Dies, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dot, Gold Shaker Stars

 

1.     The Secret Sea cardstock is cut at 4-1/4” x 11” and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The Mossy Meadow cardstock is cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered to the front of the card.

3.    The Elegant Pine Snowflakes DSP is cut at 3-7/8” x 5-1/8” and adhered to the Mossy Meadow.

4.    Die cut Everyday Arches Dies from Cherry Cobbler.

5.    Stamp the tree with Old Olive on Old Olive cardstock.

6.    Die cut the Old Olive tree from the Pine Tree Trimmings Dies. Add Gold Stars from the Gold Shaker Stars to the tree with dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

7.    Ink up the “O Christmas Tree” stamp with Cherry Cobbler ink onto the Basic White banner die from the Fright Night Dies and adhere across the arches.
