CELEBRATE WITH ICE CREAM!

My first blog post of the New Year!  Mostly I have been organizing my craft supplies but I wanted to also use a few things before putting them away.  This Banana Split is a cute little stencil & die set that came in my Taylored Expressions Advent Calendar 2025.  The desk gets really cluttered when being creative!  The crafter-mess is a real thing!

Can you see the cute little details with the enamel shapes for the chocolate and the cherry on top?  These cards are fun for a birthday celebration.

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - LAST TWO DAYS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!  Day 24 - It's a gold paint palette and Day 25 a paint brush.  I bet we're going to be doing some splattering!  

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - DAYS 22 & DAY 23

Day 22 is a coupon for FREE enamel dot and Day 23 are cute little floral embellishments.  

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 20 & DAY 21

Day 20 is a small little zippered bag - craftiness is happiness.  Day 21 is a small rainbow charm.  

 

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 18 & 19

I was excited to see a new color in Day 18 - Plum Tart!  And Day 19 is for a single ink pad that attaches to your glass mat.  Fun!

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 16 & DAY 17

Day 16 is a clear stamp set with lots of small designs.  Day 17 is an acrylic stamp handle to use with those small stamps.  

Spellbinders Advent Calendar Day 6 - Day 13

Day 6 through Day 13.  My personal opinion on this Advent calendar is that I probably won't do it again.   

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 13 & DAY 14 & DAY 15

It looks like a stencil and embossing folder ice cream sundae for our next couple of gifts in the Taylored Expressions advent calendar. 

I added Day 15 since it coordinates with the stencil and the embossing folder. 

TRIANGLE SANTA

I couldn't resist this cute little Santa die from Simon Says Stamp.  

I made a few ornaments out of the triangle Santa. 

So far these are just tags but could easily be made into cards.  

TE Day 11 & Day 12

Here are the next two crafty items in the Taylored Expressions Advent Calendar.  

TE ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 9 & DAY 10

Here's the latest items in the Taylored Expressions Advent Calendar.  

TE - DAY 7 & DAY 8

I'm always happy to get dies in my Taylored Expressions Advent calendar.  These two look like fun!

DAY 5 AND DAY 6 TE ADVENT CALENDAR

Taylored Expressions Advent calendar Day 5 was watercolor shimmer and Day 6 microwave popcorn with a recipe for Cinnamon Popcorn. 

SPELLBINDERS CRAFTY ADVENT CALENDAR

This is an Advent calendar that I purchased this year from Spellbinders.  Honesty, I fell for the beautiful packaging.  

Day 1 through Day 5 and so far I'm not that excited about any of them.  Hoping for better days to come!  

DAY 3 and DAY 4

Day 3 and Day 4 - looks like we will be making an interactive card with the new supplies.  I'm not a huge fan of interactive but it will be fun to follow along with the video on Friday.
