Stampendous! Holiday Gift Blog Hop Time!

Hello, friends! Welcome to the Stampendous! Holiday Gifts Blog Hop! Today we are sharing some fun holiday ideas with you using fabulous goodies from Stampendous!

I cheated. There. It's out there. LOL! My project COULD be a gift, but you would want to give it closer to Thanksgiving than Christmas....BUT....it is a super fun holiday project, so you will love it, anyway. K? K. Good. I feel better now that we got that all out there.

K...moving on....

Stampendous Countdown Calendar

It's a super fun Christmas Countdown Calendar!!! I used a simple plastic frame from IKEA and embellished it with gem stones and stamped and embossed snowflakes. I added the adorable little girl, colored seasonally, of course, and it is just a happy fun little count down calendar! YAY!!!

All of the stamps are from the Kiddo Snow Globe Perfectly Clear Stamp Set. It's SO CUTE!!!! I love these stamps!!!

For the number cards, I cut patterned paper cards and printed numbers on white cardstock to mount on the patterned paper. I punched circles, adhered them, then punched a hole in them for hanging from the two book rings. I added a bit of May Arts gingham ribbon cuteness to each card to finish off the calendar!

  9. Terrific gift idea! An advent calendar you can use again and again! You could make an "everyday" one with more days and use it for ANYTHING - countdown to vacation, retirement, Friday... LOL...what a fabby idea, Jingle. You're sooo clever!

  20. That is so cute!! I love that-and it would take up less room than an advent calendar. For some reason that little girl stamp reminds me of Dr Seuss characters.
