I love all things Christmas, and I especially love countdown calendars. Today I am going to share with you the tutorial on how I created my calendar with this 25 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar.
Make sure to head over to Silhouette America and pick up your Advent Calendar, the promotion runs thru tomorrow November 19th. You can click here, and use promo code PINK for your savings.
For my Advent Calendar I used several different items from the Silhouette store. You should also make sure to check out the beautiful Advent Calendars in the Silhouette Advent Calendar Board on Pinterest.
25 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar
There are so many different options, and when you purchase the Silhouette Advent Calendar you also receive a download card that includes different items for you to pick and choose from to use for your own calendar.
For my calendar, I mixed up a few objects I received with my free download card, and added in a few that I have downloaded from the Silhouette Store. I love the options of adding in little notes and candies for each day.
Christmas Advent Calendar
You can find a ton of awesome cardstock at all of the craft stores right now. I have had a ton of fun searching for just exactly the right ones to use with this project.
After I decided on the Silhouette items I wanted to cut, I then added some numbers and scalloped circles to make it all POP.
There are SO MANY options, and you really do have so many fun things to choose from.
Make sure to head over to the Silhouette Promotion page and enter code PINK for your savings! Christmas is coming FAST this year, so make sure you are ready with your own 25 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar.

November 18, 2013 at 14:24Okay, this is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I LOVE it. We do an advent calendar every year for the kids, but they are getting a bit old for toys. I feel like I could do this and put special messages to them on each one instead of the little trinkets we’ve always done. LOVE THIS!!! —Lisa
