WOW!!! Have you guys had fun the last couple weeks?! What amazing new stuff, huh! Well....here's some more for ya! Emma never ceases to amaze...and this release is amazing...like every other before it.

You should have arrived here from Cathryn.

Here's what I made for you today using the new A Day In December stamp set. I really wanted to try a December Daily...but it just ain't happening for me...lol! So, I did a 12 days of Christmas chest of drawers! The kiddos can open one drawer each day for the 12 days prior to Christmas and get their little surprise. I'm really happy with how this turned out.

This is a Lori Whitlock file from the Silhouette store, and I added legs to it. I wanted it to look a bit like a dresser.  I used Carta Bella papers. This is VERY easy to assemble. I love her files for that reason...they go together so neat and clean...and easy!

I went through the new stamp set and picked out lots of little sentiments I thought would be appropriate for this project. Most of them I stamped and hand trimmed, some I used dies for.  For all of them, I attached with dimensional adhesive. If you close, you can see the Wink of Stella glitter brush I used around the edges. I wanted to carry that feel of glitter throughout the project. 

How cute is this?! These drawers are big enough that you can put things other than just candy. Hot Wheels, nail polish, lotion, jewelery....really about anything! 

For day 1, I used one of the talk bubble dies, but it was too long. So, I followed the basic shape, and just hand cut around it to make it a bit shorter. I love that little jingle bell die! And I love Carta Bella's brads that go with this collection. 

And the amazing bow die!!! I love these things. I used two layers of the largest of the bow dies, and for the tails on the bottom, I cut it in half because I wanted them to be out a bit further since I made the bow look bigger. I used my hot glue gun on this, I did not want it coming apart! And I added another of the brads to the center.

So, there you have it...my Christmas Countdown Chest of Drawers...lol! If you have a Cameo, I'd highly recommend this box. You could also use it on a desk or in a craft room for all those little bits of things. Or even for jewelery! 

Here's what I used.
