I make a little ceremony with opening the doors. I live alone . I wait until mid afternoon and sit with coffee and a a slice of cake. I open the door then look at videos to see what others are doing with each "gift". Some dies like with day one maybe are too small for my arthritic hands. I shall make some cards when I have finished making Christmas cards! Thank you for inspiration
I really like the tip on how to place the shadowing of the sentiment...not always easy to do properly. And another take on faux embossing the vase. You're the best! (And the new mic is very clear.)
I like to open my advent calendar each day, not all at once. It’s nice to have a little something to look forward to every day, a little unexpected treat. Thanks for sharing that beautiful bouquet with us.
Love your card -- the color palette is terrific, too. The new microphone is excellent; I usually have to turn the volume all the way up to hear clearly, but I even had to tweak it down a bit lower! I don't have this advent calendar, but I do have Gummiapan's and I opened all of the days at once -- no self control at all... 🤭
Another fab card. I always open each slot slowly and savour the chocolate and then cut the door off and include in my December Daily. If I have a crafty advent calendar I like to use whatever it makes and also include in my DD.
First off the mic sounded fine. This is such a pretty card. I love those colors you used, one of my favorite combos. I am one of those people who open each box or door at one time, then go back to see what is being made on that day. Thanks Ruth, have a nice day
I open my calendar while waiting for my morning coffee and then watch videos while I drink it. I’m really enjoying it. I love your card and how you put dimension on the vase. I’m definitely going to try that.
Your Mike sounds beautiful. I love the colours of the flowers with those yellow centers. What a great way to showcase many different elements of the gift. I would open one compartment a day just to have the surprise last a little longer.
Thank you so much, Deb! The mic stopped showing when it was turned on so I recorded with no sound for a while yesterday :( I'm waiting for a new one coming next week. You're like me! Just opening one a day is fun :)
Another beautiful card Ruth, I love the colours you've choosen, a lovely little sentiment set The new microphone is brilliant!! I usually have to turn you up full not today! Thank You, Crafty Hugs Xx
Somehow I missed watching your video yesterday. I love your lovely card. Your mike sounds great too. I open each door everyday. I like having a surprise each day. Then I make a card or watch videos to see how others make a card and then I'll make mine. Either way I really enjoy this advent calendar.
So glad I found your channel. I ordered the calendar but don't have it yet, so I'm trying to get inspiration. Your cards are beautiful. The mic is great. Previously the commercial breaks were much louder, but now it's more balanced.

Thank you so much, Cathy! Turquoise is my favourite colour and I love yellow accents with it :) Glad you are enjoying my videos :)

I've seen a few unboxings of this Advent, yours is definitely the best, your voice is calming and the cards you create really fun.
