Hello everyone~!
It's the final day of this month's TSG sneak peeks. But wait... Have you read the title of this post?? No peeking?! LOL! Don't worry, we are peeking a stamp set that is called No Peeking!

Kids love to countdown the days until Christmas is finally here and with this new set, you are going to have just as much fun creating a countdown advent calendar! With 25 different adorable holiday images and two sets of numbers, the possibilities are endless! To make this set even more useable, there are two decorative circles and two decorative squares that were designed to be used with a 1 3/8” punch!!

No Peeking! is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 53 stamps and will sell for $24.

When Jessica emailed me about this idea, I was sure that it would be a wonderful set. But a few minutes later, I realized that I had to do at least 25 Christmas/Winter images. 25 images?? Santa, reindeer, tree, gift box, poinsettia, candy cane, ornament, candle and... and..........and... eeeek! I was panicked. LOL!
Honestly speaking, it was not easy to complete this set, but I'm very happy that I could do it!

For today, I created a few small gift boxes and a card.

Stamp: No Peeking! (TSG)   Paper: Bazzill, MME (12days of Chrismas)

Accessories: Ribbon (PTI, stash)  Tool: Lacey Circles Nestabilities (Spellbinders)

Box size: Square -- 2"x2"x1-3/4", Rectangle -- 2"x2-1/2"x7/8"

Stamp: No Peeking!, Penguin Pals (TSG)  Ink: Jumbo Java, Red Brick (Versa Magic)
