What’s Darla Been Up To?  Let’s Open the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calander and use card sketches #CasingTuesday541

LIVE! It’s time for What’s Darla Been Up To? This Live is being done on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.  I am LIVE every Tuesday night at 6:00 PM Pacific, 7:00 PM Mountain, 8:00 PM Central, and 9:00 PM Eastern.  Next LIVE is Tuesday, December 9th, 2025.  Mark your calendars and join me for a half hour to forty five minutes of learning techniques and tips. 

This 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar is absolutely incredible. Follow Live with Darla on YouTube to see the possibilities. 

In this video and some of my upcoming December Lives on Tuesdays at 8:00 CT I will be showcasing the 167335 12 DAYS OF CRAFTING ADVENT CALENDAR $99.00 The link to this Advent Calendar - https://www.stampinup.com/products/12-days-of-crafting-advent-calendar-english?demoid=2192381

Make your countdown to Christmas extra special with the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar! This calendar comes with a 24-piece stamp set and has 12 never-before-seen products including papers, embellishments, ephemera, tools, and more, all of which coordinate with one another! We won’t spoil the surprise of the products you’ll find in the calendar, but here’s what we can tell you: each day brings an all-occasion, crafting goodie you won’t find anywhere else! Buy a calendar for yourself and gift one to a crafty friend because crafting really is more fun together.

You’ll need a few basic supplies on hand to use all the products in the calendar—like the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, scissors, and your go-to adhesive.

Featured colors: Basic Beige, Crushed Curry, Flirty Flamingo, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, and Secret Sea. Available only while supplies last. 

Like I recommend, die cut the dies with the Stampin’ Up! Embossing Tool (available in my online store) found behind Door# first so you see their size, dimension, and possibilities. Some flower parts can be layered or left as single embellishments. This is a fun step to discovering new to me products. 
Zoom in to see the many layers of stamping. No right or wrong way. Every wreath gets easier. I used the die cut circle to know where not to stamp. Will you try this technique? Leave a comment with how it worked for you. Maybe share a photo of the card you assembled. I’d love to see your work ❤️
Another view of my inspirational workspace. It’s one of my favorite hangouts. Do you have a special spot in your home. That’s yours whenever you need it? 
Practice. Practice. Practice makes perfect. For me anyways. The best way to be a professional Stampin’ Up Demonstrator is to practice. Practice. And more practice. My husband thinks I’m playing. I’m actually working at what I love! 💕 

 This card for someone extra special was created by stamping a wreath formation with the leaf, flowers, and heart stamps found in the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar. What do you think? It was fun to create.

As I reflect on this Thanksgiving, I think of all the people who fill my world with blessings— that includes many of you.  I love to visualize traditions and think of family members in heaven.  For it is those members, that have molded me into what I am today.   

Thank you for being here. Thank you for opening my emails, for liking/sharing Facebook and YouTube posts, for CASEING my projects, for supporting my small business, Tweet Be Happy, and for choosing to Be Happy with me. You show up with kindness, curiosity, and creativity, and it means far more than you realize.

Whether I’ve known you for years or we just recently meet, realize this: I never take your time, trust, or support for granted. You are a blessing, and I’m grateful for you all year long.

I pray your Thanksgiving is filled with your favorite foods and good conversations that create lovingly memories that stick forever. If you get a few minutes to stamp something…that’s a bonus joy.  Wishing you a warm, peaceful, and blessed Thanksgiving holiday.
