Visit the list of blogs below and leave a comment on each by Nov 7, 2011 at 11:59 PM PST. Each day we will be sharing a brand new list of blogs with brand new projects for you to explore, be inspired by, and create from! The blogs listed are for today only.

Christine Emberson - Spellbinders (you are here!)

For my handmade holiday gift I decided a flip over countdown to Christmas stand would be just the ticket!
Below I've photographed step by step instructions and listed all supplies with links.
I personally think the build up (or countdown!) to Christmas is the best! 

Cut two chipboard rectangles 7 x 4.5 inches.
   Cover all four sides with patterned paper.

 Sand and ink edges with creamy brown chalk ink.
 Cut and emboss Classic Petal edge and decorative insert from red cardstock.
 
 Punch and emboss numbers for tabs.
 Cut and emboss Labels Twenty-Two (No.2) from patterned paper.  
Slice off the top notched edges creating a straight top – this will bind better. 
  Ink edges with creamy brown chalk ink.
 On a computer print the message onto cream cardstock (Edwardian Script – font size 55).
 
 Cut and emboss Layered Poinsettia from cream cardstock.  Stencil with Chianti chalk ink.
 
Remove from die templates and lightly brush edges with more chalk ink. 
 Cut and emboss with Classic Bracket edge, ink edges.
Layer a strip of patterned paper behind and adhere.

 Using a binding machine, punch and bind the two chipboard rectangles and day tabs.

Assemble poinsettia flower and add a gem to middle.  Adhere to right hand panel.
Add decorative border including lace.
