Every family has it's own way to Countdown to Christmas. Perhaps you use an advent calendar with your little ones to track the month's progress or maybe you choose to document the month's festivities by creating a mini-album filled with all the wonder and joy you experience during the holiday season! Either way, we think you'll love the new stamp sets we have to show you today…..both of which will make your own countdown to Christmas a little bit easier, and more stylish too!
The holidays are such a special time of year with family and what better way to celebrate than creating a special Christmas countdown using this fun new set designed by Heather Nichols! Capture holiday memories in a mini book so your family and loved ones can look back at favorite traditions. This set gives you the basic tools that you need to get these projects started. Once you have finished your holiday countdown projects, the numbers and frames will be versatile for other countdown and memory keeping projects on your list!
The Details:
- Countdown to Christmas will be available for purchase on October 15th.
- It will retail for $24.
- Countdown to Christmas contains a total of 42 images. The two circular frames measure 1 7/8” in diameter. The number “25” is just under 1” wide and just over 5/8” tall. The script “December” is just over 1” wide and just under 1/4” tall.
Designed to be a companion set to Countdown to Christmas, this set gives you all sorts of extras to use on tags and mini books to celebrate the season. Little sentiments, images and flags will be just that perfect extra touch. Don’t limit yourself to countdown tags and scrapbook projects, this set is perfect for card projects too!

- Countdown Details will be available for purchase on October 15th.
- It will retail for $15.
- Countdown Details contains a total of 25 images. The calendar block is just over 2 3/4” wide and is just under 5/8” tall. The 3 patterned circles are 5/8” in diameter. The double ended banner flag is just under 1 3/4” wide and just under 1/2” tall.
I have one big project to share with you today using Heather's fabulous new stamp sets!
I have been meaning to create a beautiful, heirloom quality advent calendar for several years. Something that can be used for years and be handed down in the future. I am quite pleased with how it has turned out and I know it is something that I will love taking out to display every year for the month of December.
This project all started with an easy to make display board. David made this frame for me and I stained it, however you can pick up a large frame at any big box store and remove the glass for the same effect. My frame has interior measurements of 20" x 35" because I wanted a little extra room at the bottom so the small Christmas tree on display alongside it wouldn't interfere with the hanging tags. David stapled a piece of chicken wired to the back side of the frame, creating the perfect area to clip the tags up with clothespins. Speaking of clothespins, I stained these the same color as my frame. You could cover them with a bit of patterned paper or just leave them their natural color if you prefer.
The premise behind this advent system is that each day in December a tag can be removed from the display board and hung on the small Christmas tree.
Behind each tag, I also have a December task tag, each one listing different things we like to try to do during the month of December.
After removing the countdown "ornament" tag each day, the task tag can be left as a placeholder and as a reminder of all the things you have done to celebrate the season so far.
The collection of tags I create were SO much fun to create. I just started mixing and matching several different sets, dies & patterns. The new Countdown to Christmas set contains the numbers 1-31, and let me tell you, they were SUCH an asset for this type of project! It was so nice to just pull out each number and not have to worry about lining anything up for the double digits or getting anything straight. Heather has taken ALL the guesswork out of that with this great set!
Before I move on to some closeup shots of all the tags, here are a few ideas that I am looking forward to executing with the numbers in Countdown to Christmas.
- pair them up with Big Birthday Wishes, rather than using the large By the Numbers dies.
- fantastic when used with Calendar Basics, especially the "Just for you on your insert age birthday".
- great for scrapbook layouts to add larger-scaled dates, ages or anything else you can dream up.
- the numbers fit perfectly within most of the Tag-its & Fillable Frames sets for some amazing design options.
- add an "age" topper to an extra large cupcake using the Shape Up Series: Cupcake dies.
- the numbers also coordinate well with the centers of the Mat Stack Collection stamp sets.
- pair up with For the Graduate and/or the graduate sentiment in Congrats All Ways to customize the graduating year. With just two impressions you can create a custom year up through 2025!
- use the numbers with the Lunchbox Note die to create a countdown to Christmas vacation or even the last day of school.
- would be amazingly easy to number clues for a scavenger hunt!
- create cool backgrounds or borders to coordinate with Boy Basics: Out of This World or School Time!
- make a countdown calendar for a bride as a bridal shower gift and could be paired up with some of the sentiments from Happily Ever After or Love & Marriage.
- use the numbers for each month of the first year of a baby's life in a special homemade mini book.
Now onto some individual tag details!
These tags were die-cut with the Tag Sale #5 die, with a background pattern created with Background Basics: Tin Types. The circular frame is one of the two GORGEOUS frames from Countdown to Christmas. Don't you just love it?
These tags are die-cut with a Rectangular Labels die and stamped with the coordinating image from Label Basics. The little polka-dot banner is from the new Countdown Details set. I love how this scripty "December" fits within the opening in the center of the banner image…looks so classy! The ends of the banners are finished with Pure Poppy buttons.
Next, the tag base is cut with the largest star in the Seeing Stars die collection and stamped with Mega Mehndi Medallion. Tag-its #10 was used for the center frame.
Fillable Frames #9 is the basis for these easy tags. I added holly from Holly Jolly onto Tag #4 and some hand cut Simply Chartreuse leaves to Tag #16.
These use the Button Card die with some side stripes added with Postmarks. A few accents adorn the bottom of each tag from Santa Stationery. The polka-dot frame is from Tag-its #2.
Tags #6 & #12 both started out with a base die cut with the largest Angled Labels die and stamped with the coordinating image from Label Basics. The solid red stars on #6 are from Layered Postmarks: Holiday, with a background added with Library Card stamped in Soft Stone. #12 features just the text layer for the star image from Layered Postmarks: Holiday. And last but not least, #15 uses the Bingo card from It's Official.
I used the Button Card die again here. Adding the date with the fantastic numbers & script "December" from Countdown to Christmas. Each card features some buttons stitched in place using red embroidery floss.
Tag #8 was die-cut with the placemat shape from Table Service and stamped with patterned polka dots from Countdown Details. The snowflake strip was trimmed from a patterned paper in the Holiday Prints pad. Tag #17 was die-cut with a Half & Half die, with Background Basics: Super Stripes added as a background. Tag-its #3 frames the date.
Fillable Frames #5 stamp set & die serve as the base for these tags. A small tree from Countdown Details is added to the center of the "0" in the ten. The pine bough from Love Lives Here: Holiday adorns the bottom of Tag #24, featuring tiny rhinestones as berries. I was able to add the words "Christmas Eve" using Countdown Details as well.
Both of these tags were die-cut with Tag Sale #5. My favorite flourish from Embellishments was used as the background on Tag #13, and the snowflake frame is from Tag-its #8. I used the mini calendar days image from Countdown Details as a background on my other tag, stamped in Soft Stone. The striped frame here is from Countdown to Christmas. The holly leaves are from Layered Postmarks: Holiday.
These are created with Fillable frames #1 stamp set & die. Tag #14 features a small snowflake from Countdown Details, punched out with a 1/2" circle punch and adhered to a Ripe Avocado button. Tag #22 uses a small striped banner from Countdown Details, featuring the word "December" within it.
Of course, the tag for the 25th has to be extra special! I started with the largest Seeing Stars die and stamped the die-cut with Embellishments. I created a Lazy Stamper's Accordion Medallion (see tutorial HERE from 2010) with the scalloped circle die from Limitless Layers 1.75" Circle die collection. The circular frame is from Tag-its #10. The polka dot banners extending from them bottom are from Countdown Details along with the words "Christmas" & "Day" in that beautiful script font!
I love how all of these tags look together when clipped to the chicken wire display board. All three of my kids took an instant interest while I was taking photos and they are already excited for it to be *officially* displayed for the holidays!

Such versatile sets that can be used for scrapbooks, advent, cards and even 3D projects!
WOW ladies! You have been working overtime for sure. They are all beautiful.
I love the projects! I can’t wait to get started on my own!
Oh my…today’s projects combine 2 of my favorite things – tags and advent calendars. Such inspiring ideas. Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for a fabulous idea to make something for Christmas that can come out time and time again.My grandchildren will love helping Nanna make this for their home.
Cool ideas for a Christmas countdown. A couple of my friends created a list of things to do in the summer holidays – it’s a great idea.
I love advent countdown projects and today’s post has my head spinning with ideas for this year! I can’t wait to start making my own countdown!
Funnily enough, I’ve been working on Advent calendars already! I love your number dies, but it is a bit tedious to cut out 13 ones for each calendar. This will make advent calendar gifts so much easier! You must have been reading my mind…. Thank you so much.
Your projects are absolutely amazing. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love how versatile these sets will be for scrapbooking,especially Daily December albums. Good thinking PTI!
Your countdown calendar is gorgeous, Nichole!! Love all the projects from the team!
I love the idea of personalised advent calendars! Gorgeous!
Great projects! Very inspiring….
Very pretty girls! I love the idea of a Daily December album. Seems I can barely recall the events of the previous holiday. Great idea!
Love all the ideas…I have been wanting to make my own Advent Calendar for years…I may just do it this year!
Very clever chicken wire frame, love this idea. I would love to have something like this up all year round, to clip up pictures, notes, lists, etc. Thanks for the great idea!
The DT does it again! The tags and Advent Calendars are just perfect. This is what I am doing this year. Thank you ladies.
creativity at its finest, you and your team rock!
Wow! You saved the best for last! I love both these sets and can’t wait to get them!
Amazing creations from the DT! My daughter has always wanted to do an advent activity so this might be just what she needs for inspiration….
Love your countdown calendar!!! Love the chicken wire and the little fun cards hiding behind the pretty tags! That is just awesome!
That’s awesome! I love it all. super easy and fun
Amazing, These tags would be great for secret santa gifts.
Oh my, such awesomeness. Love these numbers and tags and SO many wonderful ideas for advent calendars! Gets me in the Christmas mood! =o)
I have always loved the countdown till Christmas and this just makes it more exciting!
Love the Advent Calendar ideas. I love Jessicas Envelope idea. Its perfect for older sons. A more mature calendar but still has the same meaning.
Thanks so much Cynthia
This set will make the most treasured gifts! I love the idea of it 🙂
Totally blown away by all the wonderful the inspiration from the whole PTI DT! I’ve been looking forward to these sets and am so excited!!! This year is the first time am making a December Daily and i can’t wait enough to use these sets! Thank you, PTI, for sharing your gorgeous projects!
I love the new projects. Fun designs, perfect for the holidays!
This would make a great gift for my grandkids and would be so much fun to put together! It would give us some things to do together before Christmas, and that’s really what Christmas is all about…spending time together!!!
What wonderful examples of advent calendars! Love the versatility of this stamp set.
great collection as usual .. love the new dies ..
We love advent calendars each year. What wonderful new ideas for a countdown to Christmas calendar. Thanks PTI.
Just marvy! I love the way they took the tags off the counting board and out them on the tree. SWEET!
I just love this entire theme! Heather created the perfect sets and your calendar display is amazing!! I made my first DDaily last year and its one of my kids favorite albums!! Thank you for bringing this to us!
Love to concept of having the kids (and us) count down to something big that is coming. This can be used to so many things that are not necessarily Christmas.
Very cute! I LOVE how the display board uses tags from so many different sets, like Button Boutique! Very clever!
Yay!! I love your display of tags!!! These will be so much fun!
amazing ideas can’t wait to get started on my own advent calander thanks for a chance to win!
I’m always so impressed with how all your sets go so well together.
I particularly like Maile’s idea with the tiny envelopes and a little prize or activity idea inside. Love the new Postmarks set and knit-themed stuff!
Love this concept!! We do a countdown calendar in our family and I would love to create my own. What a fun set!!
I love all the great projects using the Countdown to Christmas stamps!
Wow! Plenty of inspiration in today’s posts!
Cute idea and really the designs could be tailored for anyone’s tree theme or colors.
Advent calendars bring back such fond memories from childhood. We had one every year. I may have to bring back this tradition in our household!
Wow, that is so clever! My kids will love this too!
Oh my GOSH! I love this idea for an advent calendar! The clothes pin idea is fabulous and would allow the frame to be used all year long for so many things! Your tags are festive and fun without being over done! What a great great set!
Too cute! Love all the advent calenders!
How do you do it, Nichole? Always dazzling us with your creativity. 🙂 Chicken wire of all things! Such a neat idea and precious gift for your family for years to come!

Love the Advent Tags–so beautiful!
Everyone did such a great job on their projects. From the artistic details of Ashley to the smart and graphic sassiness of Jessica. Bravo to everyone! This has been another great release, Nicole! One more sleep ’til the 15th!
Wow, Nichole, this is just stunning! I so wish I had the space to display something like this in my home!
Wonderful ideas, beautiful projects!!! What a versatile set! My grandkids have an advent calendar, but maybe I could update it with Countdown to Christmas!!
You must be so proud of your creation – what a lovely idea. I especially love the chicken wire- for its graphic-ness and practicality.
Nichole,
What a fantastic countdown. Have just loved every item, can’t wait to go shopping! Have always loved pinecones at Christmas and so when I saw Dawn’s set, that was me very happy. Wasn’t going to venture to tags this year, that’s all changed now. I could go on and on but had better save my strength for Tuesday….shopping day here.
Stunning and inspiring projects – a wonderful way to while away an hour or two dreaming up ideas!
Penny H
It’s amazing! Countdown to release of new stamps ~~
Wow, I have wanted an advent calendar for years and have never done anything about one. Now I have a great excuse! All the projects are wonderful, but Nichole, yours took my breath away! Absolutely love the heirloom idea and the way you went about it! Cannot wait to get started on my own.
I just love seeing how the DT personalizes projects with their own style. Each project and card was marvelous!
I’ve never done an advent calendar, but this year I am going to! Fabulous, FABULOUS ideas ladies! The DT is oozing with inspiration. Bravo…again! Job well done.
Love the inspiration for all of these different countdown calendars! It makes December even more special!
Wow…so many ideas…I love how everyone’s samples are so unique!
Everyone’s creations are just wonderful! Yours is something that I’d like to frame and put on display, but you already did! Just beautiful!!
Very nice calendar! can’t wait to get started!
Love the tags and advent calendar ideas!
So cool…..will be great for my advent Christmas picture books countdown!
What a great idea! With all the Christmas journals, advent calendars, smash books etc that are hot right now, this set is perfect!
Oh my gosh! You girls have all been SO BUSY! I am always stunned at the designs, but for this group post you’ve outdone yourselves. I’m on my way to work, but plan an evening of doing a little blog hopping to study all of these great Countdown creations!
STUNNING..love all the different ways the set is used!
I love Advent Calendars, so this is a wonderful post for me. Thanks for all the great ideas.
My children loved advent calendars when they were little. I have a few young nieces that will love to receive a hand-made advent calendar or book. And I am looking forward to using the numbers for some special birthdays coming up (sweet 16!)
I love the idea of an advent calendar that is used from year to year. You made a wonderful project.
Your advent calendar is just amazing!! Something that I would love to do!! And I love that you gave us ideas on how to use the new stamp set by pairing it up with other PTI sets. I would love to see you do that in the future. It definitely helps convince me to buy it. 😉
I absolutely love your countdown calendar and all of the projects from the design team! These sets are so versatile and full possibilities!! I just gotta have ’em!

The chicken wire frame is genius for hanging the tags. Love the versatility of the set! It would be great for scrapbookers.

Awesome projects from the entire team as always. BUT these two sets are really a MUST HAVE you can use them over and over even use them next year to create a PL. Can’t wait to order them and create some countdown minialbum of my own. This release is the best ever.

So many great ideas! I can’t wait to get the countdown set.
I get so inspired visiting yours and everyone’s blogs. I an’t wait to get started making an advent calendar (what a great gift one would be) and tags.
I am in love with the new products. I cannot wait to see the full revel to make my final decisions. Plenty of things to add to my growing stamp collection that all work seamlessly together. Thanks for another great month of product. Love the creative ways the designers used the countdown. Cheers, and be merry!
Thanks much for all the inspiration! So many different types of tags and countdown ideas!!!
Forgive me while I wipe the drool from my face. You and the design team… what can I say? All the projects are so gorgeous, I want to make each and every one! I’m thinking of making one of these countdown calendars as a Thanksgiving gift for my grandkids. And even though we’re miles apart, we can be together in spirit as they count down to Christmas with Nana.
I don’t remember Advent Calendars being a big thing in my childhood, and in fact I am not sure I had heard of them more than a few years ago. They seem to be everywhere now though. I’ve even made a couple myself! These sets sure look like they will be very versatile for the Advent countdown and so much more. Can’t wait to see the whole set!
What a great range of ideas for a Christmas countdown.
I love countdown calendars.. and these are more good ideas! I like tags, too, and it’s a fun way to use them.

Wish this had been available when my kids were little…I would have loved making these. Maybe someday with grandkids…

Love the versatility of these sets and all the wonderful creative projects from you and the DT. Just wish I had an excuse to create an advent calendar!
Love all the tags. The advent calendars so so nice. Can’t wait for tomorrow.
What I’ve seen of this set looks amazing. I’ve tried to do a countdown to Christmas album before, and this could be the key to make it easy and actually get it accomplished this year. Each year I’m challenged with finding the time to prep everything, so this would take some of that away and give a consistent style to my book. Thanks!
So many great projects and ideas!
AWESOME project!!! What a fun way to do Advent each year!!!

What wonderful creations today! Loved everything, can’t wait for all of these sets!!!
Such fun projects!! Love them! 😀
I was really anxious to see the design team put these Countdown sets in use and they did not disappoint. Aamzing! Thanks for another month full of inspiration.
I knew at Sneak Peek time that I was going to want this set and I do, do, do! I knew that Christmas Countdown was going to be so cool for scrapping and for Christmas decor, and it certainly doesn’t disappoint! I loved all of the projects, but I have to thank Jessica for showing me a truly simple way to make a December Daily. I’ve loved these albums that others have done, but felt that my December was just too busy to have time for one. That changes this year – thanks Jess!!!
Ack! I’m going to have a hard time keeping my list this month to a semi-reasonable amount!
Wow what a wonderful set! I love the chicken wire!!!
Love this time of the month and this time of year.
Great projects ladies……love them all!
The DT did an exceptional job today and I love to see the same products used in so many different styles. I have to give a special mention to Ashley for her amazing mini album.
I love Advent calendars so I’m super excited for these countdown sets!!!! I usually have a few on the go! Love the chicken wire calendar and all the other projects are so beautiful and inspiring! Looking forward to the reveal tomorrow!
Love the countdown to Christmas set. An advent calendar has been on my to do list for a while.
I can’t wait until tomorrow! Thanks for the chance to win 🙂
My favorite part about counting down to Christmas is thinking about the PTI products that will be under my tree!
I love Dawn’s idea of a countdown for her husband. I always thought of these as mostly for kids.

I’ve always had a countdown activity for the holidays for my kids. This year my husband and I are empty-nesters for the first time, and this activity idea would be really great for us to continue.
