This is an advent calendar, treat banner style, that I just mailed to my daughter. I love how it turned out. Each pocket contains two small treats for each day until Christmas.
The banner is in two strands because of so many pockets. Here is a closer look at the panels before I added the ribbon:
I made each panel different, included inspirational verses and lots of holiday stamping.
This was a ton of work and time consuming but so worth it. I sent her some hook nails to hang this high. Let's hope her kitty doesn't destroy this, lol.
I am including this banner with the Unity FWF projects this week.
Tools used include:
Unity Stamp Company stamps from Tags, Glorious Tags and Advent.
My Creative Time 3 x 3 Fancy Envelope Die, Jaded Blossom number candies.
Thank you for visiting. Your comments make my day. :)
