I have ordered what I need so I can make one for the children at my local church. I can't wait to see their little faces light up when they get their little gifts from the calendar. Brilliant idea!

Wow! Now that's a project. I love it!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

When you turned your first layer upside down with your boxes placed in and glued on your second layer, I almost had a heart attack. I would have had glue on the table some where and would have ruined mine, but yours seemed to be alright. Wow, could not believe it. you really are a pro. Great idea and Lots of work. A real labor of love for someone to cherish.

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you Roxanne

[@gabyalexander1014]

Spectacular 🎄

[@natashachesney178]

Wonderful Advent Calendar! Love it!

[@Babs-Veterans-are-Family]

If you have a beautiful wrapping paper this would be a good use for it. Wrap the rectangles with wrapping paper. It's thin folds easy. You could use vinyl as well like the ones you use with a Cricket

[@janettemorrison3791]

Another show stopper 😍

[@heathertoms4188]

What an awesome project! 😍 x

[@billsinks5025]

Really clever Sam, I love it. Lisa

[@vayes7958]

This is cool..... Maybe after the holidays I'll try one of these..... I have a die that cuts out little windows... Maybe I'll see if I can do this as a card

[@rhodamabbott8101]

Wow, it’s amazing!

[@teresanunez5692]

[@gretchenduguay9527]

[@reneebanbury7066]

Amazing as usual Sam! Are you an architect genius too? Well done! I love it!

[@Obsidian_Iris_]

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

[@Bramblesmom1]

wow xx Another Sam stunner xx

[@prof.mommyarty]

Oh this is lovely😍 I keep meaning to make one and never do 🙈. I always love your 3d makes, especially Christmas ones. 🙈 just threw my old trimmer away🙈 d'oh! So handy having measurements on your blog! Must try that collal, the clear is my happy glue and use it on everything! Inches are much easier, mm are far too fiddly! This is gorgeous 😍 Ooh I'm getting excited for Christmas now🤶🎅🤶🎅🤶. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖

[@noeleenbyrne5197]

Fandabidozi as usual Sam 🥰

[@jillburch7691]

WOW!

[@susanbcards]

Wow.

[@debbiespaulding2673]

I am in the process of making this but mine is not going together so good. I think my boxes are made of a too thick card stock . I am going to finish and see if I can save it. Great tutorial love this calendar

[@kendell1964]

Many thanks

[@honeyyeyes]

This is beautiful! I’m going to make it for my kids. What glue type are you using? I found it in your description, nvm!

[@carolinemaliaka4244]

Definitely going to try this one. Unfortunately I went to the Works and they did not have the paper pad. 😢

[@raqueldeang2137]

Ohhhhh how do I get that paper pad being in America and I also love your mini die cutter and would love to purchase one as well

[@brennakohlhase4194]

Sam-have you tried lightly cutting the back side of your Gray board and then folding/scoring the front to get your 3 sides? Bookbinders do this when making lightweight books. Then reinforcing with the green strips for stability. Worth a try?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Give it a go and let me know, I can’t see why not 😊

[@Connietay96]

Hi Sam, what size hole punch is that, I can't tell from the video and it's not listed in your tools and crafts link?

[@dainaandreetto510]

I would use micropore surgical tape. Invisible nice, sturdy, no need for glue to assemble the pieces.

[@MixedUpCraft]

But I wanted the green border and not the grey board in show? Or am I’m not understanding what you mean?

[@dainaandreetto510]

@@MixedUpCraft just for assembling the chipboard pieces with no fuss or mess. Like I do with my scrapbook mini albums. Then I add the paper. Works for me.

[@AYorkshireLass]

Sam, what’s the white paper used?

[@MixedUpCraft]

It the 300 gsm Craft UK smooth card.

[@salliefabulous1923]

How do you measure 1/8th of an inch please do video thank you xx

[@MixedUpCraft]

1/8 is one track on your scoreboard, there are 8 tracks within each inch.

[@judywalker-peterson]

Can you list everything you used

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hello . All the tools and crafts I use are in the links below the video. 😊

[@AYorkshireLass]

Sam I couldn’t find your advent calendars.

[@MixedUpCraft]

They are linked in the video and at the very end, you can also find them under the Advent Calendar playlist.

[@evelinmerisalu8950]

Would have been better if you had written out the centimeters of all the pieces :(
