BLOG HOP & VIDEO: How to make reversible Advent / Birthday Countdown Calendars

Reversible Countdown Calendars

REVERSIBLE COUNTDOWN CALENDARS

Welcome to my Stamp It Demonstrator’s Group Christmas themed Blog Hop.  We’re all really excited to unveil our projects, and announce a new contest giveaway. To continue on your journey through our projects, simply use the BLOG HOPPERS links below. Today, we will be going over reversible countdown calendars

Countdown the days to any big event with these customizable advent calendar boxes project kits from Stampin Up! Let’s take the kit “out of the box” and a step further by making them reversible! That means you’ll can get 2 in 1. There are 25 treat boxes to put little trinkets and treats in each day to countdown to a big day. Fill each daily box with treats and the excitement and the fun of the big day builds over the weeks leading up to the big day. I’ll share how to create a Christmas advent calendar with a fun winter village scene, and then how to make it reversible and make a fishy fun birthday countdown calendar on the back side. You can make these for any occasion: Countdown to a Disney vacation, Bridal Shower, and more.

I created this fun reversible advent / birthday countdown calendar for my nephew this holiday season (and for his birthday). I used the Stampin’ Up Christmas Countdown Project kit.

See the video below and I’ll show you how I made this. These kits are available in my online store for a limited time.
