Hello! I am thrilled to be a part of Taheera's Advent Calendar Extravaganza this year! This is such a fun and unique event!
Advent Calendar Extravaganza is -the- festive event of the season! This ‘hop with a twist’ was dreamed up by Taheerah Atchia and features surprise destinations each day! Joining in the fun with Taheerah are ONE HUNDRED special guests - each serving up some fantastic Christmas inspiration! Just like an Advent Calendar, you’ll never know where you’re going to be visiting next until you ‘open the door’!
And that’s not all! With 25 *amazing* sponsors taking part as guests as well, your crafty wish list is bound to get a boost with a chance to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!!
Join in the fun every day at taheerah-atchia.com to see what special surprises await behind the door!
The sponsor for today is Seven Hills Crafts. They are a UK based store which sells products from lots of my favorite stamp companies! I chose to use some products from My Favorite Things and Lawn Fawn for my projects today.
For this card, I used the Pierced Circle dies along with the Scenic Snowglobe Die-namics from MFT to create a fun snow globe. The snowflakes in the background are the Mini Stitched Snowflakes from Lawn Fawn, and I just glued those to my background circle and trimmed the edges off.
The sentiment is from the Snowglobe Sentients stamp set, and I embossed it with white embossing powder on black card stock. I also added some snow to the trees with white acrylic paint.
For my second card, I used the Stitched Arch STAX from MFT to create my snow globe. For the background, I stamped the Snowy Backdrop from Lawn Fawn with white pigment ink and also splattered a little bit of white ink to create a snowy look.
The sentiment is also from the Snow Globe sentiments stamp set and it's embossed with white embossing powder.
Each day there's a prize up for grabs from a special sponsor! Please be sure to show our sponsors some love, as they have been very generous in giving their support and time to this event. As mentioned, this year every single sponsor is also a part of the hop on their own blogs so be sure to visit them. :)

How fun for you to be included in this Advent event, Kay. Congratulations! Your holiday cards are fabulous. I love that you can create an adorable scene in such a small space.
