Advent Frame - Christmas 2012!

Hello friends,

This coffee/tea cup means bit of a long blog post so you may need to grab a cuppa!

Here it is...at last!  

The new Advent Frame for this Christmas.

I've still gone with traditional red, green with a slightly vintage look.
I thought this would then work for girls/boys, ladies/gentlemen.

I've used Square Bracket Edge Box and Labels Twenty Two.

The patterned papers are Simple Stories - Handmade Holidays and the 

cardstock is ivory - linen finish 255gsm. It makes sturdy little boxes and folds beautifully.

 The numbering is a little more bold this year and my own design.

To make your own Advent Frame there is a kit available.

This year, everything is cut/embossed all just ready to be assembled.

 The kit contents are:

Wooden Advent Frame

25 cut/embossed box lids and bases

25 small decorative patterned labels

Ready-made numbers 1-25

3D Foam Squares by Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™

Full instruction sheet.

All you need to add is adhesive to make up your boxes.

The price including postage and packaging is
£35.  

Please click to pay via PayPal or, if you prefer,

just email me to place an order - christine.emberson@blueyonder.co.uk

I really enjoyed putting this year's Advent Frame together (far more than tackling that blackberry bush!)
Already the boys are requesting what treats should go inside, I'm thinking foiled wrapped gold coins,
little chocolate Santas etc.  Bit of a chocolate theme I think!

Val asked a question yesterday regarding my tags and how I use them.
I do occasionally use them as a decorative element to cards but more often I use
them for parcels, to tie round the neck of bottles as gifts, attach to bars of chocolate,
it makes the smallest gift a special treat.

I hope you had a lovely weekend, the rain stayed away here and the roast pork was yum!

Take care friends.
