Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

Hi everyone! Welcome to this fun event!!

Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests – each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!

And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as guests as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!!

Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind the door!

Rather than just do cards- (as I reckon by now, if you haven’t finished them by now, then they probably aint gonna happen unless you intend on doing New Year ones!), I thought I’d take one die and a stamp set and do some decor/table decoration. I added in a card using the Noel die although you could easily swap it out for a ‘thanks’ ready for after Christmas gratitude!

The card is using the wonderful Noel Cutaway from Winnie & Walter along with the Frenchy’s Festive Florals set.

I’ve added in the frame from the Winnie & Walter Framed Stamp set.

Next up, a really simple spray of flowers onto a wrap of paper for an easy serviette decoration. These would look so lovely on your Christmas table.

And, whilst we’re talking about tables, you want to seat your guests in the right places, and these partial die-cut place cards would look so sweet at each seat. I’ve used the Noel Cutaway again along with Frenchy’s Festive florals and added in that lovely poinsettia from In bloom: Elsa’s Flora

Adding in a few sequins just gives it a little lift. Lots of little gel pen dots gives it an almost sparkly look!

There you have it; a few festive ideas in case you’re sat on your sofa twiddling your thumbs wondering quite what you’re going to do with yourself for the rest of the day 😉 (haha!)
