Finished Kaisercraft Advent Calendar

Well hello again, bet you didn't think I'd be back for a while.... Well not surprising really given my track record of late.

So the good news is my kaisercraft advent calendar is finally finished! Yay!! Now it did take a bit of time doing it in between this and that, but it really was just so much fun to do... And it has used up quite a few of my supplies that I was having a little trouble getting around to using.

The majority of the unit is covered in Kaisercraft Christmas edition papers from not only this year but also going back to last year and 2010. There is also a lot of new latest release kaisercraft chipboard ornaments and decorations, along with petaloo, prima, and kaiser flowers. Unfortunately the photo (taken on the iPad) just doesn't show how much glitter has been poured over this project but let's just say that even if nothing else is ready for Christmas this year at least I could be mistaken for a sparkling decoration instead.....

The centre of the unit is actually a Christmas scene of a living room all decked out and waiting for santa to arrive. It includes Melissa Frances moulded christmas tree ornaments, moulded picture frames and miniature Christmas trees, alongside new release Prima moulded ornament ceiling rose and hanging chandelier. The little presents in the centre are of course Kaisercraft again, and the table i actually asked my father to knock together out of some scraps of Sassafras timber he happened to be working on the other day. Now my main idea was to be able to use this unit for many christmas's to come so I have made the internal scene on a backing of cardstock rather than directly onto the wood. Meaning next christmas if i want to change the centre image to something else i can just slide out the cardstock and begin again.

So there it is ladies and gents. Not the greatest photos but i will try and take a few more over the next few days with the real camera! 

Now two quick things before i go, firstly i'd like to thank Kaisercraft for  putting out such a great little Christmas project, that was so easy to work with, and that coordinates 100% with their beautiful new release christmas lines. If you haven't seen their christmas collections you simply must pop on over to their website and have a look. And guys they really do look better in person when you have them in your hot little hands. 

And the second thing Krissy over at Swirlydoos has released her christmas add ons to subscribers and all i can say is woweee you really cant afford to miss out on such a gorgeous all inclusive kit. But the extra special announcement this month Krissy herself will be teaching a tutorial on just how to make this very advent calendar with all the latest techniques and products (including moulding paste and viva decor ferro) from CHA just in time for Christmas. So please pop on over to Swirlydoos and check out her tutorial class offering. Honestly you wont be disappointed. 

if you have any questions or want any close ups just drop me a comment and i will bs only too happy to try help out. 

Thanks for stopping by!!
