Hello there! Today I went live on YouTube to create with the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders! If you opened up your advent this month, but didn’t have time to create, click ‘watch on YouTube’ below to open the video in a new tab, hit the ‘thumbs up’ button and leave a comment!

The Crafty Advent Calendar was SO fun to create with, and at a huge sale price, it is the perfect gift for yourself to create with all year long! Take a look at the cards that I created and shared today:

This balloon came from the day one die set, and I backed it onto an Essentials Modern Oval embossed with the Embossing Folder of the Month for December 2024. I also used the sentiment strip from the day four die set.

The day seven stencil was one of my most favorite to create with! This three-step stencil creates a beautiful floral design, and I used two different teal inks along with white pigment ink to create the floral design, topping it with the ‘hello’ die cut sentiment from the Out & About collection. The shape of the floral design was perfect for using the Mirrored Arch Labels dies to create a shaped card.

How cute are these creamsicles? I combined this day 21 die set with the stamp set from day 19 to create an easy card with a trio of sweet treats.

Another sweet a simple card came from combining the day 8 floral vase die set and the ‘hello’ strip from the day one die set, along with the Essentials Modern Ovals.

It doesn’t get much cuter than the day 14 French Bulldog! I combined him with a Valentine’s color scheme and the day 15 mini embossing folder to add the ‘XO’ debossed patern on the background.

I lifted my own card design from the balloon card to create this celebratory card using the cat and balloons from the day 23 die set, combining them with the Essentials Arches etched dies, the Embossing Folder of the Month for December 2024 and the Birthday Party stamp & die bundle from Simon Hurley for the ‘celebrate’ sentiment.

I had so much fun creating with the Crafty Advent Calendar today on my final livestream of 2024! If your calendadr is sitting around unused, I hope these cards inspire you to create with it this weekend! Thanks for stopping by, and happy creating!

I hope you’ll join me for my first livestream of 2025, next Friday, January 3rd at noon Eastern time on my YouTube channel! Be sure to subscribe and hit the bell button so that you don’t miss any of my future videos!
