Advent Calendar Gift Envelopes

Welcome to Day 2 of the 12 Days of Holiday Inspiration Blog Event brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew"! We’re just a group of online crafty blog friends who love being creative. This time we're doing a 12-day event to provide you with tons of Holiday Inspiration.

We're making crafty projects using products we like and some of us are even offering prizes! Check each blog and the information there for what prizes are being offered and when the winners will be announced on that blog.

At the bottom of this post is a list of all the crafty ladies participating in this event. Be sure to visit all the blogs each day for loads of fun Holiday craft ideas.


My project today is my Advent Calendar! I usually like to post my advent on December 1, but there were too many exciting things already happening yesterday. Please accept it one day late!


I even created a special video for you all to show how easy those little treat holders are to make and decorate. If the video isn't showing up, please visit the direct link here to watch! Thanks!



All of the envelope boxes and each number tag are from the new DCWV Joy to the Woods stack, which is available at Joann's! It's my favorite holiday stack from DCWV yet. You can see my Merry and Bright home decor frame here that also uses this stack :)

DCWV has also recently released BLING SHEETS which are pretty amazing. The only other decorative item I used is a strip of bling sheet across the bottom. I show off these cool sheets in the video ;)
PRIZES! I NEED TO GET RID OF ALL THIS STUFF IN THAT PHOTO! SOME OF IT CAN BE YOURS! As part of the 12 Days of Holiday Inspiration Event, I will be giving away a SWAG BOX of fun goodies to a lucky commenter! Comment on all 12 days to increase you chance of winning. And I PROMISE it will be PACKED with crafty goodness... I'm in the holiday giving spirit after all! ;)

HELP ME GET RID OF ALL THIS BRAND NEW STUFF!!!!!
