12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar – Days 1, 2 & 3 Revealed!

Look Away if You Don’t Want Spoilers!

This week on my Tuesday Night Lights Facebook Live (aka Crafty Chat with Chrissy), I revealed Days 1 to 3 of the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar! After opening each surprise, I created a fun card using the products we discovered together.

Before the live, I gathered my supplies based on the pretty colours on the box — I just knew those shades would show up in the patterned paper.
Spoiler alert: Well, I was wrong! 😅 But that’s all part of the fun, right? Sometimes our best creative moments come from unexpected twists.

My personal vow

Now, I’ve made a personal vow not to watch any other demonstrator reveal videos… and let me tell you, I had no idea how many people wouldn’t be able to resist opening every single door right away! There are videos everywhere! So far, I’ve managed to avoid them all (Fingers crossed it stays that way).

I want each reveal on my Facebook Live to be as much of a surprise for me as it is for you watching at home. There’s something special about sharing that “oooh!” and “ahhh!” moment together for the first time, don’t you think?

And yes — the raw, unedited live clearly shows that sometimes you start a project one way and then halfway through decide, “NOPE. Not doing that! Let’s try something else.” That’s completely okay. It’s part of the creative process!

Here’s the first project I created using the goodies from Days 1–3:

🎨 Pretty cute, huh?

The card features a few fun techniques, including two-step stamping, fussy cutting, and die cutting.

👇 Product list used in this project is at the bottom of this post.

Sure, it would have been easier to Google ideas, but I wanted you to see that — just like you — I experiment, make changes, and sometimes go through a bit of trial and error when I play with new products for the first time.

If you’d like to watch the full Facebook Live replay, I’ve uploaded it to my YouTube channel so you can catch all the fun:
