Christmas with 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar
Hello. Welcome to Valley Inspirations with Andrea and the seventh Art with Heart Team Heart of Christmas Blog Hop for 2025. We are continuing to share Christmas inspiration each Monday evening until the end of November. I do hope you will check us out as often as you can.
Stampin’ Up! have developed a gorgeous 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar. The Calendar comes with a stamp set - the 12 Days Of Christmas Advent Calendar set of Stamps. A number of the Art with Heart Team have decided to meet on-line each Friday evening to open one calendar door weekly for the 12 weeks before Christmas. We are planning to individually share a project each week featuring the newly opened product. The first week we received dies to coordinate with the stamp set, which I have used on this project.
The flowers were stamped in either Pretty in Pink or Real Red and the leaves in Old Olive ink. There were coordinating dies to cut the flowers out plus a detailed flower die that I used to cut flowers in Basic White and Gold Foil. While the flowers were not necessarily Poinsettias or other Christmas flowers, I have interpreted them as such. However, a non-traditional pink and red was used as not everyone wants a full on Christmas theme.
Pretty in Pink was blended in the centre of the detailed die cut white flowers. A background panel of embossed Basic White card-stock was mounted onto a Pretty in Pink card base. A Basic White label was cut using one of the Textured Notes dies and this was mounted onto a slightly larger piece of Pretty in Pink card-stock, which in turn was mounted on Dimensionals.
Some White 1/4” Ribbon had been tied around the top panel and into a bow on the side. (The ribbon is now on the Last Chance List and discounted.) Some Old Olive Linen Thread was tied around the bow. The flowers, leaves and detailed die cut flowers were arranged and layered. Some gold Drusy Adhesive-backed Embellishments added sparkle to the flower centres and a couple extra were placed near the sentiment. A little Pretty in Pink ink was splattered around.
The sentiment was selected from the Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. The two words were separated and one was placed over the other using Mini Dimensionals.
