#1 Stampin’ Up! UK Demonstrator Pootles – Pootles Advent Countdown 2020 Advent Calendar – Christmas Countdown Kit – The Revamp!
I’ve made many different Advent Calendars in my time as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, but this year I decided to take our much beloved returning favourite Christmas Countdown kit and revamp it.
They sold out really fast last year, so this may be your first time getting one, in which case, it’s a fully inclusive kit, but if you had it last year and want to change it up a little, then this video is definitely for you!
I worked on the back of the original boxes and my pieces of paper are measuring in at 1-7/8″ (4.7cm) square and I used one end of my Timeless Label Punch to get the semi circle shape punched out.
I had already opened my Wonder of the Season Memories and More cards, so I knew there were number stickers in there, so that really determined which paper pack I was going to work with!
I love how the new version came out. My only thought after creating it, well that would be to be a little more accurate with my punching. Perhaps create a template first?
Have fun everyone, and don’t forget to grab your kit while you can!

I made an Advent calendar using the little 2x2x2 boxes SU used to sell as I made them years ago and made a set for each of my children’s families, so I had 3 sets of them. It took me a long time to decorate them, a lot of those things now available weren’t available when I made them and I made my children save the boxes each time they were done so I could reuse them. I did that for many years, but last year I decided they were in such bad shape and didn’t do anything! I wish they had had this wonderful box back then. And I got a chuckle that you pulled out two random boxes and they were the same on the other side from last year! Thanks for sharing your projects and the fact that you just redid yours from last year. That’s good recycling!
Thank you for sharing – got my creativity flowing. Love the crafty cat who helps!
