Spellbinders 2025 Crafty Advent Calendar Inspiration Round-Up

Day 4

Is it a stamp? Or is it a die? It’s a stamp die! We revisit the nostalgic roots of rubber stamps with Day 4’s darling die set. It includes three sentiments that you’ll spy again throughout our Advent inspiration. (You’ll also notice the timeless Essential Arches dies S5-526 used throughout these advent samples.)

Day 5

Nothing says Spellbinders like a bold and beautiful floral die set. You love them, and we love them, and we can’t wait to see the blooms you create with Day 5. (Plus, just as promised, recognize that sentiment die?)

Day 6

The best of the small and mighty, might be our mini embossing folders. Whether you decide to emboss a stripe, a border, or an entire background, these overlapping dots will add texture and interest to your card making projects.

DAY 7

Another small and mighty craft supply are the gorgeous butterfly stencils for Day 7.  Every color of the rainbow is the perfect color for this bevy of beauties!

DAY 8

Who doesn’t love a festive pennant banner? Tuck the solid layer behind the Happy Day sentiment for your choice of color, or use the solid pennants on their own for party details.

Day 9

What do you think of this bold and oh-so-glam color palette? Today’s lavender hued sequins add the perfect sparkle, paired with rich pinks, purples and gold on a splendid shaker card.

Day 10

The perfect pair! I dare you not to smile when you see these PBJ besties! It doesn’t matter if you’re team strawberry jam or team grape jelly, you’ll whip up the perfect combo thanks to Day 10, no sticky fingers required!

DAY 11

Clean and simple perfection! Look at that butterfly duo. Create a facing matched set by using both sides of the stencil. Such a smart idea, plus it’s the perfect image for “We make a great pair.” (Remember who else makes a great pair? Yesterday’s peanut butter and jelly . . .just another way we’ve made so many coordinating possibilities for your advent crafting!)

DAY 12

Hold the phone! Can you believe we’re only half-way through our advent calendar inspiration? Check out this telephone die set with classic vintage charm. Guess what? It coordinates perfectly (of course it does) with Day 11’s sentiment stamps.

DAY 13

Let’s add a little more texture for Day 13. Look at that incredibly easy but oh-so-cute use of this floral embossing folder. Just a strip of cardstock, notched at the end and paired with Day 5 dies.

DAY 16

Thanks to Day 16, we’ve got some happy new sentiments to play with. Happy Day, Congrats, and Good Vibes are exactly the ideas this pup conveys!

DAY 17

Die-cut images take on such different personalities and styles just by changing up the colors and tiny details. These sweeties are another great pair plus this card shows a sparkly idea for sequin raindrops.

DAY 18

Okay, what do you think of this awesome die set? Add colorful corners and interesting patterns with this creative die. Plus, we’re excited to show one more butterfly stencil idea – on this card, the butterfly has been fussy cut for a beautiful focal point.

Day 19

One small sentiment adds so much sweetness to a card. You make me smile is the perfect accompaniment to our PB&J besties! It’s easy to make simply stunning cards when we’re starting with perfectly paired products.

DAY 20

If you looked at yesterday’s sentiments and wondered what was coming next, here we go! And speaking of GO – this fun little UFO is ready to GO out of this world! (Don’t you love the addition of those sequins to add sparkle to today’s card?)

DAY 21

Have we already mentioned the overwhelming cuteness factor in this year’s Crafty Advent Calendar? What else can we even say about a pink telephone? It’s just SO CUTE and the best wishes die cut sentiment is as timeless as that classic phone.

DAY 22

We’re nearing the end, but we aren’t finished yet. How will you use this stunning three-layer stencil – as a striking focal point or to fill an entire background? Remember to tag us  @teamspellbinders when you share your projects on social media, and use the hashtag #neverstopmaking.
