Challenge #7- 3D Holiday Project

Hi there!  It's time for another challenge over at Cut It Up!  The challenge is to create a 3D holiday project.  It can be any holiday but remember to use a die cut!  For my project I made Countdown to Christmas wooden blocks!  I painted the bottom two blocks and sanded the edges.  I then adhered Christmas paper to the front with Mod Podge.  For the top block, I painted the front with chalkboard paint!  The letters were cut out from the A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge using vinyl.  I am also entering this into a few challenges.  I hope to see you link up your project at Cut It Up!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)

    Oh my gosh, Karen, this is fabulous!! What an awesome project!! I love the idea of the chalkboard paint and then just erasing the number to count down!! I love it!! As a kid, I would have been erasing that number first thing in the morning, hoping it would bring Christmas that much sooner ;) Have a great weekend :)
