Hello. It’s my turn to ask for help in finding something paper crafting related. I would like to make a 3D “Advent Style” calendar made with a scrapbook paper pack that includes the number 1-25. I found a couple of tutorials online, but unfortunately, they both used paper from several years ago that are no longer available.
Here is one by Authentique:
blog.authentiquepaper.com/2018/11/a-nostalgia-jingle-advent-calendar-with.html
I’ve been searching online for paper, and while I’m finding some really lovely Christmas patterns, I can’t tell (or at least the pictures are not showing) if there are numbers included. Are there certain keywords I should be using to narrow down my search?
Or maybe someone has a recommendation for a particular pack or brand? I’m going to be making this Advent calendar for an older couple. (my older sister and her husband who has dementia.) I plan on putting 2 small pieces of candy in each little advent box. I thought opening the advent calendar would be something that they could do together. I’d love to find some paper that is very pretty and peaceful looking - woodsy animals would be a bonus. I know I could cut the numbers myself, but love the look of using coordinated ephemera.
Thanks,
|

I dont know of any collections that actually include the numbers. In the example you shared, I recognize the circle labels + numbers as being an Ali Edwards product. Circle labels (in the example is a white label with red border, that is an old AE/SC product, but here is a new version: aliedwards.com/shop/december-daily-2022-4x6-circle-label-sticker-sheet-bundleAnd the numbers used were in a December Daily kit in previous years, but no longer available I dont think. Edited to add: the white numbers were from the Paislee Press add on kit in 2018: aliedwards.com/2018/09/december-daily-2018-full-look-at-the-kits. Pretty sure the white circles with red border where in the store as an add on that year as well.

Shimelle had a sheet of paper with numbers on it in her Glitter Girl collection. I used it for a Christmas layout last year, the colors work really well if you want a brighter color scheme overall. There is a nice red and woodgrain striped paper in that collection, too. Paper Issues seems to have it in stock.
