For my project I chose a Christmas Countdown project. It was something I had in mind as soon as I saw the 25 & Counting Stamp Set in the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini Catalog. It’s my favorite mini ever!! (But I am partial to it since my picture is in the US version) And if you get creative you can use this set for more than Christmas – I cut apart the words/numbers and use them on birthday cards too – it doesn’t work for every stamp but it works for a lot of them.
Now back to my project –
It doesn’t look like much in the picture but the box holds 25 countdown cards and on each card is a peek-a-boo frame – when you open the frame underneath is an activity for you to do that day! Make the whole month fun for the kids. I created three sheets of activities – 36 total and you can choose the 25 that suit your family or make up your own.
Here is a peek at one of the cards –

Wow Monika, I have fallen in love with this idea. I was bit ‘meh’ about the peekaboo frames, but now, they have to go on my “Needs” list. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
what a fab idea to use up smaller pieces of cardstock…tfs
What a cute idea! After seeing this I really want this die cut for future things. Thanks for sharing.

What a fun way to use that die! Love it!
I love the activity idea! How interactive and fun.
Great idea. I’m so lucky…my mom bought me 25 and counting and the die for my b-day! Thanks for sharing
I didn’t get that die, and wish i had. I keep seeing neat projects like this…
This is a great way to countdown to Christmas. Love the way you incorporated the peekaboo frame die. Such a great gift idea for anyone with kids (young & old alike). Thanks for sharing.
What a unique way to count down ’til Christmas. I really like this idea. Makes me wish my sons were youngsters again!!
I totally love this idea-so much better than candy every day –who needs that? I have tried and tried not to want this 25 and counting stamp set but I think I may have to break down and get it now. I will have to rush it so I can get this put together for the rest of December!! Thanks for Sharing!!
Perfect for my grandgirls! Always looking for new ways to use my 25 and counting set….it is a really wonderful stamp set that has quickly become a favorite. Your project is really unique….thanks so much, Monika.

Gosh Monika, what an awesome idea!! I just finished making Advent Calendar Boxes for my kids/grandkids and this will work perfect because the boxes are so small and they have so many kids. I love your idea, and can use it for my husband (so now I have to get busy making the cards).
What a fun for all ages project! I always love seeing a new top note project. Great job!
What a fantastic way to get into the holiday spirit! This idea would also be great for making lunch notes for the kiddos too. Love the new Bigz die.
