2025 Spellbinders Advent Calendar Part 1
Hi crafty friends!
If you’ve been following my daily Reels, you know I’ve been having the best time opening the Spellbinders 2025 Advent Calendar. It’s like a daily dose of inspiration delivered right to my doorstep!
The calendar features 24 days of surprises, and I’ve managed to create a total of 14 unique cards by mixing and matching the dies, stamps, and stencils. It’s so much fun to see how an item from one day can perfectly complement a surprise from another.
Today, I’m sharing the first 7 cards of this 14-card series!
Rolling by to Say Hi (Day 1 + Day 19)
Starting with the adorable tumbling puppy die from Day 1.
The Background: I used the deep and elegant Celestial Cardstock to give the card a bold, clean look.
The Sentiment: I paired the pup with a “rolling by to say hi” stamp from Day 19, which I white-embossed to make it stand out.
Enchanted Mushroom Post (Day 2 + Day 6)
Day 2 gave a whimsical mushroom stamp and a “thank you so much” sentiment.
The Details: The focal point is framed with a Lavender cardstock using the Postage Edge Squares Die.
The Background Mix: For the center textured strip, I used the Day 6 embossing folder on Waterfall Cardstock.
A Magical "Happy Day" (Day 3 + Day 8)
This card is all about magic! It features the bunny, magic hat, and stars from the Day 3 die set.
The Foundation: I chose Lavender Color Essentials Cardstock for the background.
The Mix: I added the “HAPPY DAY” banner die-cut from Day 8 to create a festive scene.
Teacher Appreciation (Day 4 + Day 18)
This teacher-themed card features the stamp handle die from Day 4.
The Mix: I framed the card with Day 18 corner dies and used a book die from my club collection.
The Detail: A small bow made with Field Notes Twine Die adds a charming rustic touch.
Textured Lavender Garden (Day 5 + Day 6 + Day 13 + Day 16)
I created a second version to show off the versatility of these floral dies!
This card features a beautifully textured background made by mixing the Day 6 and Day 13 embossing folders.
I used a combination of Lavender, Waterfall, and Lilac cardstock to create the colorful background strips.
I used the Day 16 arch-shaped banner for the “Happy Day” sentiment.
Floral Good Vibes (Day 5 + Day 16)
The floral dies from Day 5 are simply stunning.
I used a rich Blue Spruce cardstock as the base, featuring a white oval window created with the Scallop and Stitched Edge Oval Die.
The flowers were die-cut from Brush and Tutu cardstock, while the leaves were cut from Rain Forest cardstock.
The “Good Vibes” arch-shaped banner is a fantastic addition from Day 16.
Shimmering Butterfly Best Wishes (Day 7 + Day 9 + Day 21)
Closing Part 1 with this elegant, purple-toned butterfly card.
I used the three butterfly stencil designs from Day 7 with various shades of purple ink to create a fluttering background.
The “Best Wishes” message is from Day 21. I die-cut it from Silver Metal Cardstock and layered it three times to give it a thick, dimensional look.
The sentiment sits on a circle die-cut made with the Fluted Classic Circle Die and Fairy Tale Cardstock.
For the finishing touch, I scattered some beautiful purple sequins from Day 9 across the card.
It’s amazing how much variety you can get from one advent calendar. I can’t wait to show you the rest!
