As you may know already, Paperific was on the weekend at the showgrounds and here is the project I designed for our Stampin' Up! stand at the show. It was really hard to photograph but I gave it my best shot. You may remember my post on the petite purse die that I did as a product showcase for the recent Heartfelt Stampin' Up! Event. Well I took that die one step further and created this Magnetic Advent Calendar. It took ages but I am happy with how it turned out. I have used lots of new things on this project, many from the new Holiday Catalogue. Besides the Petite Purse Die, I have used the new Peekaboo Frames Die, the Snow Festival DSP, the Snow Flurry Die, Silver Glimmer Paper and heaps of punches. What worked perfectly for this was the 25 & Counting Stamp set, I just love that set so much. I had to hunt down an extra large baking tray to fit them all on :) They have a little magnet on the back to hold them on plus it makes it easy to remove them to fill them with yummy treats. I am considering running this as a class or putting together a kit so if you are interested please let me know so I can decide if its something people want.
I used my crop-a-dile to punch two holes in the tray and tied some of the new Natural Cotton Ribbon through them so you can hang it up.
This is the best advent calendar I have ever seen, Felicity! So much thought! So much sweetness! Love the magnet idea! Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is great Felicity. A great way to show off many products. I made mine before we got the new catalogue :) I think I'm going to try this one out too :) Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis would look great in a picture frame with magnetic sheet in it instead of glass. You could distress or paint the frame whatever colour and even cover the magnetic sheet in fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great.
