DCWV - Metallic Gold Tree - Cork Advent Calendar

Everyone loves to countdown to Christmas.

Make it easy on yourself, and fun for everyone with an Advent Calendar.

I made this fun little tree from a few cuts of wood, metallic gold spray paint and a bunch of nails.

For the numbers I used the DCWV Natural Cork Stack, a circle punch and some white paint. Each circle is hand painted with a number, and then hole punched at the top. They are simply hung off of nails.

I crafted a bunch of cute little gifts to sit under my tree, but you can put real gifts if you'd like! These darling DCWV Boxes all come in one nifty package. A large variety of sizes for all of your little gifts. And we all know the best gifts come in the smallest packages!!

I wrapped them with some fun DCWV papers.

Another fun wrapping idea is to use a standard circle hole punch and DCWV Metallic Cardstock. Punch a bunch of circles and randomly stick them on the box with GlueDots! Perfect polka dots!

Fall Frame

Have you heard about the DCWV large format stacks?

They come in sizes larger then the standard 12x12, and they are perfect for your home decor, party decor or any other larger project you create. These larger stacks come in a variety of prints, colors and even page material.

Fall is almost here, and it's the perfect time to start crafting new home decor.

I used the DCWV 16" x 20" Premium Canvas Stack for this Fall Frame.

 I grabbed some leaves from the tree, covered them with some Tim Holtz Distress Ink and stamped them onto the canvas. I also used some paint sprays to give it more detail. 

This beautiful frame is made from a dirty and worn old pallet. I was hoping for a more rugged look, but once I got the stain on it, it's beauty just came out!

The frame finished at 20" x 16.5".

I cut a few small branches from the tree to make the word FALL. I threw on some burlap faux leaves and a couple pine cones, and it was complete!
