Advent Calendar - Recycle Idea for a Bingo Gift

  

The Advent Calendar is still available while supplies last SHOP WITH ME.  

So, after I made some cards and projects with my Advent Calendar, I recycled the box to use for a Bingo Prize and filled it with a few goodies inside.  Some of the items were Stampin' Products, some candy, and some handmade projects.  I had to find things that would fit in each day.  Hope if you bought this Advent Calendar, you were able to recycle it too.  I would love to hear your ideas.

Pine Tree Trimmings

This is a card I made using the Pine Tree Trimmings.  It was inspired by a card by Erica Cerwin, but I changed it somewhat using Gold Foil instead of Silver Foil.  I add the gold stars to the tree instead of making a shaker card.

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive
