~ Little Drummer Boy ~

Come they told me

Pa rum pum pum pum

A new born king to see

Pa rum pum pum pum

Our finest gifts we bring

Pa rum pum pum pum

To lay before the king

Pa rum pum pum pum,

Rum pum pum pum,

Rum pum pum pum

So to honor him

Pa rum pum pum pum

When we come

Pum pum pum pum

Pa rum pum pum

Pum pum pum pum

Pa rum pum pum

Pum pum pum pum

Pa rum pum pum

Pum pum pum pum pa rum

Little baby

Pa rum pum pum pum

I am a poor boy too

Pa rum pum pum pum

I have no gift to bring

Pa rum pum pum pum

That's fit to give our king

Pa rum pum pum pum,

Rum pum pum pum,

Rum pum pum pum

Shall I play for you

Pa rum pum pum pum

Pa rum pum pum

Pum pum pum pum

Mary nodded

Pa rum pum pum pum

The ox and lamb kept time

Pa rum pum pum pum

I played my drum for him

Pa rum pum pum pum

I played my best for him

Pa rum pum pum pum,

Rum pum pum pum,

Rum pum pum pum

Then he smiled at me

Pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum

Come they told me

Pa rum pum pum pum

A new born king to see

Pa rum pum pum pum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

Me and my drum

Rum pum pum pum

A while back I got this Advent Calendar die from Hunkydory.  I also got the Advent Calendar Paper Pack 1 and 4.  These are awesome as they include the card fronts, the window reveal backing papers, and matching card inserts. Each paper pack has enough papers to make 12 cards.  While looking Paper Pack 4, I found this image which I thought was perfect for this card as it has a couple of soldiers with drums.

Each image paper is 6" x 6".  I trimmed them down to 5.75" x 5.75" as I wanted a small border around it.  I then adhered all the papers to a 6" x 6" red card base.

Here is a close up.  It's super cute.  A little Advent Calendar in the form of a Christmas card 😊  

Using the window reveal sheet behind each card front, makes it so that you can open a little window each day to display a fun and festive image.  Here you can see a couple of the sweet images that pop up when you open the little doors.  

Here is a close up.  Day 12 has a gorgeous mini lantern and day 6 has one of the soldiers with the euphonium.  (I think it's an euphonium).

On the inside of the card, I adhered the matching card insert. This makes it so easy to create cards.  Everything you need is right there and it all coordinates and matches perfectly!  It really is easy peasy 😀  The greeting was cut out using the Merry Christmas Tree die from Impression Obsession.  I used the words part only.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Now it's your turn to make a Christmas project,  and come play along with us.  You have till the end of the month to link your project to our blog at  Christmas Crafts All Year 'Round.
