Stampin’ Up! came out with their first ever Advent Calendar this year. It’s the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar. The calendar came with a double stamp set. It include several images in one set and an entire set of sentiments in the other set.
I’m now up to day 5 and I’ve been enjoying making a card or several cards each day after I open the gift for the day. Today was no different.
Day 5 Reveal:
It’s a set of layering stencils and a blending brush! I love it!
I went ahead and stenciled the images using Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, and Pecan Pie for the 4 stencils.
I considered using this as a collage style background but then decided to fussy cut out the pieces.
I used only one of the floral pieces for my card today. I popped it up on some dimensionals and added it to one of the metallic tag pieces from Day 4. I created a background panel with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder (sneak peek: product available on Jan. 6, 2026), I used a scrap of the DSP I had left over from yesterday (Day 2 gift) to layer next. Then I added the two metallic tabs from Day 4 and popped the focal image layers up on more dimensionals on top of all the background layers.
I added another metallic tag with a sentiment from the stamp set stamped in Night of Navy ink. I finished off the card with two of the gold glitter gems from Day 3.
I didn’t use the stamp or the die sets at all today!
So far, so much fun! I can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s door will reveal!
