Big Advent Calendar Printable Set – 24 Large Christmas Countdown Pockets

Make a complete paper Advent calendar from December 1 to 24. This Big Set gives you 24 large printable illusion pockets, each with its own date and its own full-page design: a jam jar with toast, a cocoa mug, a cookie box, a gift bag with rosemary, a sleigh basket with a plaid blanket and many more. To fill them, you get 111 fussy cut pieces such as cookies, candy canes, gingerbread, bottles, compasses, mittens, ribbons and festive treats.

Every day has its own sheet with one bigger pocket, so this set is made for building a real DIY Advent calendar: hang the pages on a wall, string them on twine, bind them into a book or add one to your journal each day. It is the biggest and most complete set in the Advent collection.

What Is An Illusion Pocket?

Each pocket is a printable container with an open top, like a basket, box, bag, tin or stocking. Glue it to your page along the sides and bottom, leave the top open, and it becomes a real working pocket. Tuck the matching fussy cut pieces inside so they peek out over the edge, and it looks like the container is filled with tiny treasures.

How To Use

• Print the pages at home or at your local print shop
• Fussy cut the pockets and the small pieces
• Glue each pocket along the sides and bottom only, keeping the top open
• Slide the pieces inside so they peek out, and swap them anytime

Perfect For

• DIY paper Advent calendars for the wall, door or table
• Large Advent journal spreads, family countdowns and gifts
• Interactive journal spreads with real working pockets
• Tuck spots for tags, notes, photos and journaling cards
• Handmade cards, gift tags and journal kits

Printing Tips

• Print the pockets on 160–200 gsm cardstock so they hold their shape
• Print the small pieces on 120–160 gsm matte paper
• Choose "actual size" or "100%" in your printer settings (A4 users: "fit to page")
• Select the highest quality print mode for the richest colors
