Count down the days until Christmas with this larger-than-mat Advent Calendar.
Simply pull the sleigh out each day and move it along to the next number to track the number of sleeps until Santa comes to visit.
Fair warning – this design needs LOTS of cardstock!! I used over 50 sheets of A4 card.
To make the project more cost-effective, you can resize it smaller. I think the smallest size to go to would probably be around 18 inches wide.
Any smaller than that and I think it will start getting difficult to cut and stick together on some of the smaller pieces.
***** SIZE & MATERIALS *****
Make sure it’s set to 28.5 inches wide and 12.25 inches tall. The bottom layers are in sections, so even though it’s 28.5 inches wide you can still cut it from regular 12×12 or A4 paper, on a regular sized cutting mat.To cut from US Letter sized card it needs to be resized slightly smaller to 25 inches wide.
To create the "3D" look, use 3D foam pads or foam tape between each layer when you stick them together.
A full assembly guide PDF file is included which show the order in which to stick the layers together.
***** HOW TO USE *****
After purchase you will be given a link to download the files.
You must unzip the downloaded folder before you can use the files.
If you are using a phone/tablet then you may need to install an app/program to allow you to unzip files.
You may need to resize the design when it opens in your cutting machine software. All the layers are grouped, so you can easily resize them all at the same time and they will all stay in proportion with each other.
***** PLEASE NOTE *****
This is a digital file which you will be able to download after purchase.
Nothing will be physically shipped to you in the post/mail.
