A Stampin' Up! sketch card with the 2025 Crafting Advent Calendar stamps

I recently received the new 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar for 2025 by Stampin' Up!  I wanted to see what it was all about.  My friend Tracy suggested I open one window each day and try to make a card with the contents.  Today is Day 1 and I started with just the stamps.  The stamps are all occasion stamps, even though the box itself is decorated for Christmas.  I thought I would make a card for a December birthday, using just the stamps and some additional cardstock/DSP.  Stampin' Up! sent out some sketches to those of us who participated in World Card Making Day last Saturday.  I decided to incorporate one of those sketches into my project for today.  

You will find the video tutorial for this card over on my YouTube channel.

Meant to Bee, Life is Better with You card

 Let's take a look at some newly released products.  I LOVE the new Meant to Bee bundle which is included in the January 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure by Stampin' Up!  If you already own the Bee My Valentine bundle, it might look familiar to you.  It's a coordinating set that when paired with each other, you have three sizes of bees, extra faces and other coordinating stamps to mix and match with each other.  This bundle; unlike Bee My Valentine, is a stamp and die bundle and the dies alone are so worth the bundle!  To see how I've put this card together and to take a look at all the dies cut out, be sure to watch my live replay over on my YouTube channel.
