Today's post is a special one because it's a huge blog hop during all December with around 100 participants (yes, that huge!) so if you didn't know about it you can start on day one and enjoy a lot of Christmas projects from amazing crafters :)
Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests - each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!
And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as guests as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind the door!
I know Christmas is around the corner and everyone is super busy so I made a very simple project to encourage you to take a breath, sit down and enjoy crafting for a bit :)
I made this little ornaments that hide little surprises inside. You can hang them from your Christmas tree or give them as a gift and you can fill them with chocolates, sweet messages, little toys or even a jewel.
To make them you just need some red and green cardstock or patterned paper, red and gold cardstock, some twine and a pair of Lawn Fawn dies sets. I used the Tiny Gift Box die to make the little boxes and Santa's Belly dies to decorate them.
If you prefer, you can add numbers to create an advent calendar or other cute decorations to your ornaments.
I hope you like my project, and now let's talk about giveaways!
