Crate Paper | Snowflake Collection | Nine Special Days in December

[Ad/sponsored] Hello and welcome to a new blog post featuring a Nine Days Christmas Calendar with the Snowflake Collection from Crate Paper. Why nine days? Well, there are three people in our house and I asked my family to select three days in December where they would like to receive a very special and personal message. We've had Xmas calendars filled with chocolate or tea in the past. However, as we are trying to live more minimalistic, I thought that a focus on less is more. In addition, coming up with three very personal things is much easier than coming up with 24.

How to: First, cut three patterned papers (size 6" x 12") for the base. Second, cut three pieces from acetate foil (size approx. 3" x 12"). These will be used as slip-in pockets at the bottom of each calendar page. Third, sew the acetate foil onto the papers with a sewing machine to create pockets. Fourth, punch holes into the calendar pages and add binder rings for the closure. 

Fourth, the filling/decoration: Create decorated journaling cards, gift tags, and cute little cards to put into the acetate pockets. I adhered white cardstock onto the back to make room for personal messages.

Thank you for stopping by on my blog today. And now hop on over to the Crate Paper Blog to find out more about the Nine Days Christmas Calendar. Wishing you a lovely day, yours Sandra.
