Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing inspiration using Days 1-5 of the Advent Calendar from Taylored Expressions. This is no longer available to purchase but I’m sure some of the ideas I’m sharing you’d be able to do using your crafty stash.

BUT …

If you DID pre-order the box, then you have some perks. There are coordinating add-ons that you can purchase over at the TE shop. Just login to your account, under the SHOP drop box and over to Advent Calendar Additions.

For my inspiration today, I’m creating THREE projects using Days 1-5 and shop additional items from my own stash .

VIDEO

You can watch my video tutorial down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.

I walk through everything in the video and there is a supply list in the video description. I also provide a visual supply list at the end of this blog post so down below I will go over the main supplies used.

My first project, is creating a card using the Snowman and the slider elements included in the advent calendar.

I added a few additional items like a stamped background, snowy hill and silhouette trees to build the scene.

This slider mechanism was sooo easy to do!

Another project I created was a tag using that same stamped background, snowy hill, silhouette trees and this time the Tag Stacklets 5 die set.

And my third project using that same scene and dialing down the scale to fit on top of the Petite Packet Die which will be great for a gift card or money.

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration and color scheme. I had so much fun creating !
