Turn your junk journal into a little Advent calendar. This Advent Calendar Illusion Pocket set gives you 7 printable Christmas pockets in different shapes, including Santa's Advent Sack, an Advent Gingerbread tin and an Advent Mail pocket, plus 94 fussy cut pieces to tuck inside. Among them are two full sets of numbered Advent tags from 1 to 24, along with snow globes, vintage dolls, toy trains, airplanes, gingerbread houses, reindeer, snowmen, envelopes and vintage postage stamps.
Glue the pockets onto your pages, fill them with the numbered tags and treasures, and pull out one tag each day of December. Because you get two sets of 1 to 24 tags, you can make two Advent spreads, share one with a friend, or keep a spare set. Every pocket is a real, working pocket once glued down, in rich red, evergreen and gold vintage style.

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
