Then I drew this piece with the various images which would be revealed as each "door" was opened. This sheet would be glued (carefully, along the edges) underneath the top sheet.
But that couldn't be done until after I had carefully pre-cut along three sides, with an X-Acto knife, each of the twenty-four "doors" so that they could be easily opened by the cards' recipients. I think this was the step that finally put me off doing these things -- it was a lot of work! -- PL
P.S. The finished card measured 8.5 by 11 inches. -- PL

So cool though! Happy Holidays everyone!

I think it's super awesome that you worked a triceratops and if I'm correct a picture of you and your wife in the sleigh. Very personalized, I've made a few elaborate cards like this in the past but as you said they are massively time consuming. So they are saved for super special occasions now.
Very cool Peter. I'm a big fan of Advent calanders even though I've never had one. I always have wanted to have one.
If it's no biggie, I'd like to print this one out and use it next year! It'd be very cool right by the computer!
