Inch Box Advent Calendar - Hand Stamped Sentiments #129

Today was market day, and I always bring work with me to do.  Today I worked on this advent calendar, the tutorial of which is  here  Brenda Quintana has even made a video outlining how to make the calendar here   The video is in 2 parts, but is very helpful.
The Inch Box Advent calendar was made for the challenge with Hand Stamped Sentiments here  - to make anything but a card.
This Advent calendar has 1" boxes made using the Double Petal Punch which are large enough to fit one small chocolate  (like a Hershey's) which I did not show as I am trying to lose weight and can't have chocolates in the house (they call my name)

Stamps: 25 and counting, Joyous Celebrations, Winter Memories
Inks: Black Stazon, Early Espresso, Real Red, Lucky Limeade, SU Markers, Tempting Turquoise
Papers: Lucky Limeade, Early Espresso, Real Red, Candlelight designer paper, Whisper White
Accessories: Labels framelits, Oval designer frame embossing folder, Pearls, Silver brads, Mat pack & Paper piercer, dazzling details, Decorative Label punch, Argyle embossing folder, 3/8" red taffeta ribbon, glue dots, stampin dimensionals.
