Create a Christmas countdown that’s just as much fun to display as it is to open! In today’s tutorial, I’m sharing how to create a beautiful **Advent Tree Calendar** featuring Stampin’ Up!’s **Advent Treat Boxes, Advent Labels Bundle, and Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP).**
BLOG: stampartconnection.com/advent-calendar-tree-with-stampin-up-advent-treat-boxes
This dimensional Christmas tree holds **24 individual Advent Treat Boxes**—one special surprise for every day from December 1 through Christmas Eve!
🎁 **24 LITTLE BOXES—24 CHRISTMAS SURPRISES!**
The **Advent Treat Boxes** make creating this project so easy. I’ve arranged the boxes into a festive Christmas tree and dressed them up with the gorgeous **Timeless Christmas DSP**.
Then I use the **Advent Labels Bundle** to create the numbered labels and decorative details that turn those little boxes into a true Advent calendar.
✨ **FEATURED STAMPIN’ UP! PRODUCTS**
🎄 **Advent Treat Boxes** – The foundation for our 24-day countdown
🏷️ **Advent Labels Bundle** – Perfect for numbering and decorating each Advent box
🎁 **Timeless Christmas Designer Series Paper** – Beautiful coordinating Christmas patterns that give the tree its festive look
✂️ Stampin’ Up! cardstock, ink, adhesives, and embellishments
During the tutorial, I’ll walk you through **how I assemble, arrange, and decorate the Advent Treat Boxes to create the Christmas tree**, along with tips for adding the DSP and finishing details.
🎅 **WHAT CAN YOU PUT INSIDE THE BOXES?**
That’s where the fun really begins! Fill each little compartment with a small surprise such as:
• Chocolates and wrapped candies
• Mini ornaments
• Jewelry
• Lip balm or other tiny beauty treats
• Small craft supplies
• Handwritten Christmas messages
• Family Christmas activities
• Inspirational messages
• Clues for a Christmas scavenger hunt
• Gift cards or little notes leading to a larger present
You can make one for the kids or grandkids—but don't forget the adults! An Advent Tree filled with thoughtfully chosen little surprises would make a wonderful gift for a spouse, adult child, friend, coworker, or fellow crafter.
🎄 **CREATE AN ADVENT TREE TO MATCH YOUR CHRISTMAS DÉCOR**
The **Timeless Christmas DSP** gives this project a beautiful coordinated look, but the design is easy to personalize. Add ribbon, metallic accents, embellishments, greenery, or other favorite Stampin’ Up! products to make your tree uniquely yours.
Best of all, this isn't just an Advent calendar—it's a piece of **handmade Christmas décor** you can enjoy throughout the holiday season.
❤️ **WHAT WOULD YOU PUT IN YOUR ADVENT TREE?**
Leave me a comment below! I’d love to hear what little treasures you would tuck inside your 24 Advent Treat Boxes.

![🎃 **SPOOKTACULAR HALLOWEEN GIFT BAGS!** 👻
Turn your Halloween treats and little gifts into something extra special with handmade packaging!
In todays tutorial, Im creating **Halloween Treat & Gift Bags** featuring the **Spooktacular 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper**. These fun Halloween papers make it easy to mix and match coordinating patterns for treat bags that are colorful, festive, and—of course—SPOOKTACULAR!
Im pairing the DSP with **Basic Black** for bold Halloween contrast and finishing the bags with **Iridescent Ribbon** for just the right amount of shimmer and sparkle.
These bags are perfect for:
🎃 Halloween candy
👻 Party favors
🍬 Treats for friends and neighbors
🖤 Teacher or coworker gifts
🎁 Small Halloween gifts
🍫 Chocolates and cookies
💳 Gift cards
🧙♀️ Halloween Boo! gifts
**FEATURED SUPPLIES**
✂️ Spooktacular 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
🖤 Basic Black Card Stock
✨ Black Iridescent Ribbon
✂️ Paper Trimmer
🧴 Your favorite adhesive
✨ Halloween embellishments as desired
BLOG: https://stampartconnection.com/spooktacular-halloween-treat-gift-bags/
**CRAFTING TIP:** Mix and match the coordinating DSP patterns instead of making every bag identical. Basic Black Card Stock makes the perfect BASE to tie the entire collection together. And dont forget to look at BOTH sides of your Designer Series Paper!
These are especially fun to make assembly-line style when you need several Halloween treats for a party, neighborhood gathering, coworkers, teachers, friends, or trick-or-treaters.
🎃 **What would YOU put inside your Halloween treat bags?** Leave me a comment below—I would love to hear your ideas!
