Hello there,
This is Ujjwal and today I am sharing a Christmas Advent Calendar, something to count down to Christmas and preserve Christmas photos and memories. This would be a fun way to involve the entire family and get everyone in the Christmas mood. Before I share the details on the project, I just wanted to share my social media handles so you can connect with me if you'd like to. You can easily find me at,

For today's project, I chose to create an envelope advent calendar so it can later be used as a Christmas Mini Album and keep the entire month of Christmas documented with all the fun and memories.
To start with, I created 4 envelopes with papers from the Christmas Bells paper collection using the Dress My Craft Multi-Purpose Scoring Board. I, then, joined them together to make them fold like an accordion.
I used Christmas Dies - Christmas Strings, Christmas Ornaments, and Christmas Greetings to cut my embellishments using glitter foam. I also used the Leaves and Foliage Dies #7 to cut some foliage in green and white glitter foam.
I love how this project has so many creative elements and it is useful too. Add an activity for each day like Decorate Christmas Tree, Wrap gifts, etc and then document each day with a photo and journaling. I am sure the whole family will enjoy this fun activity for Christmas.
I used some jute ribbon and velcro to create a jacket for the advent calendar to keep it closed like an album after Christmas.

I also cut the Christmas Bells Motif Sheet as they are the perfect coordinating embellishments for any project. Next, I added layers and combined all the prepared embellishments to decorate each envelope. I added some red pearls and White Sunshine Sequins to add more interest.
For the inside, I added 3 pieces of cardstock and numbered them till 24, that is, the Christmas Eve. For the numbers, I cut some circles using the Dress My Craft 1.5" Circle Punch and then used the Grungy Alphabets Stencil with white modeling paste to add the numbers.
