Have you seen the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders? I was lucky enough to get one to share with you and I thought I'd share the first seven days of cute things with you. If you like to see each project come together, I have a short video for each that I will link under the picture.
NOTE: The Crafty Advent Calendar is sold out for 2022. It was a popular item and I so hope they bring it back for next year!
DAY ONE
Behind door one in the advent calendar was a cute little mail box die set. I die cut three, since it is such an easy die to layer up. I added it to a mini slimline card. I love the added detail of that little envelope!

Here's the other fun things I used to make this card.

DAY TWO
A darling little floral stamp set is what I found behind door 2! These stamps are designed to be stamped next to each other, allowing you to create a floral arrangement of your choosing. Once I stamped mine I cut it out and added to this mini slimline card. The sentiment is also from this stamp set.

DAY THREE
This little border die set for Day 3 is so versatile and can coordinate with so many things I already have. I wanted to really show it off on this little note card though. So, I die cut it from a rainbow of card stock and made it the star of the show with added glitter in the form of Diamond Stickles.

DAY FIVE
I have to say I was super excited to see a mini embossing folder behind door five! I used it to make this red and white background for a Christmas card. I love this image of holly from the Halftone Holiday Stamp Set by Simon Hurley. I thought it would be a fun way to dress up this background. Of course I added a bit of sparkle, first with Sparkle Silk splattered on the backgrounds. Then I added a few Transparent Sparkle Enamel Dots to the background. And to make the berries frosted a touch of Diamond Stickles.
See how I made this card in this short video, right HERE.

DAY SIX
How about something darling for day six! A little gnome die set. And you can make hit fit any occasion, I happen to be on a Christmas kick at the moment and decided to make a Happy Christmas card. This card has so much shine it does not know what to do with itself! I did use a retired foil and cut set from Spellbinders on this card, called Ornament. The trees are from this set, they originally were pine branches. And the sentiment is from that set, which I hot foiled with red foil. The background is a Snow Flurries Distress Mica Spray Stain and Sparkle Silk. If you are not familiar with Distress Mica Spray Stains, they are seasonal and so if you can not find them online at this time they be back around next holiday season at all retailers that carry Tim Holtz Distress products. I have linked what I could find that is available right now, even if it is not the same color that I used.

DAY SEVEN
A mini stencil set for day seven was a nice surprise! I used it to make a Boken style snowy background. And then topped it off with a stitched snowflake! If you are wondering about that red and white background paper I bought digital paper off Etsy so that I could print red and white stripped paper whenever I needed a piece, cause I love it so much!
