North Pole Trading Company Exploding Mini Album Creative Kit 

by Kathy Clement 

Count down the days until Santa Claus comes to town with this fun North Pole Exploding Mini Album!  You’ll love displaying this 4” x 4” x 4 1/4” decorative box on your holiday table, work desk, or mantel.  The magnetic North Pole Tree Topper glistens with sparkling gold Christmas trees, a shiny ornament, and a snow-topped wood slice.  The removable tree topper offers display options, too.  You can set it beside the album to create a festive holiday scene, and take it off when it comes time to store the album away.

Each of the 4 sides is fully decorated so that you can turn the box and display a different scene as you count down each week in December.  The interactive album inside the box has room for more than 2 dozen photos, journaling cards, and pockets.  

Everyone loves a little sweet treat during the holidays.  So the center panel of the album is a clear acetate box filled to the brim with 25 mini candy canes. We added one for each day to make the wait for Santa just a little bit sweeter.

And if gift cards are what’s in Santa’s sack this year, you will love making a set of 5 quick and easy-to-mail gift cardholders.  They are such a great way to personalize and dress up a monetary gift.  Best of all, you’ll still have materials left to make additional cards
