Last year I made several Advent Calendar's as gifts. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to finish mine. When I saw that SVG Attic was doing a anything goes contest I knew this would be my chance to finish my calendar. I used the Nutcracker Sweet from Graphic 45 (I love this paper). I buy up all I can find all the time. When I saw the Advent Calendar file I knew I had to go hunting for 8x8 pads so I could make this calendar. I made four of these.
You need three or four copies of the same sheet of paper. Then you cut different elements out to create a dimensional look. I love how they turned out and I can't wait to use mine this year. (I just wish I had more time to take a good picture, I'm finishing last minute again!). Hope I get this uploaded before the contest ends.
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! I love that you fussy cut the images in the center and layered it for a dimensional look! What gorgeous papers you used! Thank you SO much for entering in the SVG Attic contest!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth. It was well worth the time of cutting all those pieces. The result was amazing.
DeleteWonderful, wonderful. Just having a conversation with my grandkids about imagining myself small when I work with miniatures, and thinking about how I would stand and look into windows and through buildings. This project gives me the same feeling, because of the dimensional center panel. I can think about how it would feel to be inside the image. Great selection of elements, and cool how you used the contest as incentive to finish your own projects. My favorite thing about deadlines!
ReplyDeleteI love making things small for the same reason. Did you take a look at my fairy lamp I have posted. It turned out amazing, if I do say so myself. When I made it I wanted to created something my kids could get lost in looking at. Thank you for looking.
