I’ve always loved the concept of Advent Calendars. There’s something special and magical about those little treats hidden behind those little doors – and the idea of a secret little something to be unwrapped every day really is a wonderful way to build the excitement towards Christmas, not to mention a fun tradition as well!

As the years roll by some of these types of tradition can be lost when we grow up, and it seems a real shame to lose some of that magic and wonder. And really there’s no reason at all why something such as an Advent Calendar can’t be revamped and repackaged for grown-ups, crafty grown-ups… grown-ups like you and me!

So one day in November a couple of years ago I dreamed up a fun idea for a event. I didn’t know if it would work, or if anyone would be interested. I approached some crafty friends, and others recruited themselves – everyone loved the idea! Behind the scenes I worked hard to put together something rather different and very special. After much organising, coordinating and planning, I’m really thrilled to finally bring to you a very special, very fun, very festive series! It was *hugely* popular, and so, by popular demand, I just had to bring it back again this year!

 
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!

Peace, Love, & Holiday Christmas Card by Taheerah Atchia

A super CAS design with a very modern flair! This card would be great for mass production!

I stamped the trees from a few different sets, then heat embossed the sentiment and the snow with gold embossing powder. I am completely in love with the bold, modern look!

  39. Taheerah, this is CAS at its best! I love the gold embossing you added at the top and as part of the sentiment. It really balances the trees perfectly. Every single card you have made has been pinned, but this one is getting printed out so I can CASE it ASAP! I find that if I print something, I’m more likely to CASE it the next time I sit down at my craft desk as I forget to go back to Pinterest a lot. LOL

    Thank you for another great day and I can’t wait to see what is behind the door tomorrow! 🙂
