My tutorial today is a couple of days early as I wanted
to fit in my mid month post for Stamping Sensations
on Wednesday instead.
This is really just a quick idea on how to make
Advent Pockets as opposed to advent boxes for a calendar.
You can watch my video here
I had wanted to try an advent calendar but seriously,
the idea of making 25 mini boxes, decorating them,
then assembling them to fit inside a book
was just a wee bit overwhelming!
Maybe next year!!
So I used my punch and punched out 25 red and 25 white,
which took a few minutes at most.
The belly bands where made from scraps of leftover papers.
The little Santa chocolates where from Lidl so I attached
a piece of string to each for easy removal.
I am pretty pleased with the finished design.

I love this so much, it looks beautiful and is quite simple, unlike the box one, made one years ago and thought i was going to cry by the end, and I used matchbooxes...love this Pinky.xx
