It will be a beautiful day today and an even better weekend! What am I’m doing? A Christmas project! When the matchbox die came out – I knew I wanted to make a tree. So forget the gorgeous weather – pretend it’s Christmas!
This uses 25 matchboxes – and 25 build a brads! The star on the top is the star die. To hold the “tree” on the “trunk” I cut a piece of cardboard 2 1/2 x 12″ and covered it with Old Olive card stock on both sides. It made it very sturdy. The DSP on the outside is Bella Rose. I hand wrote the numbers with a Sharpie. Isn’t it cute? Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
I love your work….this is fabulous!!!
OMG! This is toally awesome! This must have taken you forever! Might just have to get this die cut and make this for my grandchildren. Great Job!
I think you should submit this to Stampin’ Up. I bet this would hit the next catalog advertising that die cut and/or the build-a-brad kit š Great job..looks like a lot of work though.
Oh My Goodness Gracious!!! That is awesome. I was wondering if I could do something like that too I just didn’t have the time yet.
Oh my goodness. That is too cute! Love it!
I wanted the matchbox die just so I could do an advent calendar, but I never thought of doing one in the shape of a tree. Absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely incredible!
Just love this advent calendar. I know what I will be doing for a decoration this winter. Thanks for sharing
OMG…beautiful. I just found your site…was I living under a rock? It is amazing! Have you in my reader list now š
