Discover the joy of Step It Up Stamping! Today we’ll be making 3 cards using the 12 Days of Advent Calendar Kit by Stampin’ Up! This trio of projects is designed to cater to all skill levels and time commitments, from the quick and easy Busy Bee card, perfect for beginners or those with just a snippet of time, to the more detailed Worker Bee card, ideal for those who enjoy a bit more crafting leisure, right up to the Queen Bee card for those who love to lavish time and creativity on their papercraft.
The 12 Days of Advent Calendar Kit not only saves you time and money but also inspires endless creativity with its coordinated products included in the Kit. Whether you’re looking to whip up a quick thank-you note, spend a relaxing afternoon refining your card-making skills, or dive deep into a crafting session that results in a masterpiece, the Kit will give you hours of crafting joy. Projects like this are a reminder that creativity doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Even a simple card can bring connection, encouragement, and a little bit of joy to someone’s mailbox.
This card set uses a rich but elegant color palette that feels calm and special at the same time.
Featured colors: Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia
These colors work beautifully together because they balance softness with depth. Fresh Freesia keeps things light and pretty, Blackberry Bliss adds contrast, and Mossy Meadow grounds everything so the florals really shine. It’s a color combo you can use for thank you cards, encouragement, or “just because.”

The 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar Kit is all about creating beautiful cards without overthinking or overbuying. Today’s project uses the surprise products from the kit, showing how you can go from clean and simple all the way to a fully stepped-up design with ease. Every card builds on the last, so you can stop wherever your time, energy, or confidence says “that’s enough.”
One of my favorite things about this Advent Calendar is that everything coordinates for you. With the exception of cardstock and ink, every detail you see comes straight from the kit. That makes this a perfect project for using what you already have and enjoying the process along the way.
