Create a special keepsake with the new Advent Tabs. Fill it with sweet treats, little notes – or tiny diecuts for your favorite papercrafter. Or a mix of all three! Hi, Jean here with a white Advent Circle Tabs design for the holidays. I’ve used a rediscovered Advent box set from my stash.
The instructions are lengthy, but the techniques are very basic! It’s a diagonal layout for color variation that’s not distracting. Numbers run in a clockwise spiral and end with a special glittery design in the center. Hope you like it!
Cut strips of the new Cranberry 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock and attach them to the top, bottom and sides.
Cut the new Cherry Red 8.5×11″ cardstock with the second-smallest Fringed Scallop Frame. Cut it into 2 pieces, a tiny bit shorter than 1.5″ high. Nine are needed for the project. Use the 1/2″ Circle Basics die or a punch to cut a semi-circle notch at the top.
We’re using the new Snowflake Rub-Ons on green cardstock for the red squares. Cut a piece about 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ – you’ll have extra snowflakes, but this provides a mix of designs to chose from. Carefully remove the paper backing and lightly tap the designs onto a bright lime green 6×6 from the Greenery Collection. Place it between 2 layers of printer paper and run it through a diecut machine with the plates used for cutting. Or use a wood craft stick to burnish the rub-ons. Select and handcut 8 sections – then trim them with the 1″ Square Basics die. Carefully remove the plastic liners.
The “25” square features a 1″ square of a bright green Glitzy Glitter Pad 6×6. Cut the largest Alpine Snowflake from the white Festive Glitter Pad 6×6.
Cut 8 medium-green Greenery 6×6 squares with the 1-1/2″ Square Basics die. Cut 8 dark-green squares. Cut 1/2″ semi-circles.
Use the 1″ Square Basics die to cut 8 of the green Christmas Tree print from the Nutmeg Forest 6×6 set. Cut 8 1″squares from a green/gold Yuletide Plaid 6×6.
Attach the 1-1/2″ background squares to the Advent set. It’s easier to place doublestick tape on the boxes and add the red and green backgrounds. Add the decorative 1″ squares. And finally… attach the Advent Circle Tabs!
