Day 3 LLC Retreat - Winter Countdown Calendar

Day 3 projects are so much fun. I am so glad to be able to share them with you. This project was designed by Mindy Beverly.  Her blog here.   Original Design is using the Winter Critters Stamp Set. I used the Inuit Marci (used the smaller size 2-1/4" tall) and Winter Blessing Stamp Set used for this project. This project is 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" x 2-3/4".

Top half of the calendar: a Snowflake Border is die cut to be positioned across the top of the project. The snowfalkes create that shaker effect.

These boxes are 2" x 2" x 2".  Numbers are in each of the sides to enable a combination of dates for the count down.

Copic colors used:
Inuit: E21, E25, E29, E30, E33, G24, R29, R59, T4, T6
Trim and pop with foam squares.

See the background for the sky? It is made using Blue Lagoon and Chip Sapphire, then use a white gel pen to dot the sky for the "stars".

Back: Use the Postage Stamp die to create a mat for the Christmas Trees at the bottom right corner.

Those cute little boxes do open so little treats can be inserted each day of the count down.
