Hello, fellow crafters!! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m honored to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing this step-by-step tutorial featuring the dies from Day 11 of the 13 Days of Craftoween 2025 Advent Calendar! I hope you’re enjoying all the tutorials featuring the calendar!! Let’s get to my card, shall we?

Step 1:

Die-cut the dies from Day 11 of the 13 Days of Craftoween 2025 Advent Calendar from Raven and Peridot cardstock and a small circle die in the Everlasting Circles Etched Die Set from Beeswax cardstock using the Platinum SIX Machine with Universal Plate System with the following plates (bottom to top): A, B, C, cardstock, C. Here are all the die-cuts once they are removed from the dies. (I die-cut the bat three times.)

Step 2:

Ink blend Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, Blueprint Sketch, and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks onto an A2 panel of white cardstock using blending brushes.

Step 3:

Trim a piece of Raven cardstock to 1.5” x 4.25”, treat it with an anti-static powder too,l and stamp the sentiment with Versamark ink.

Step 4:

Sprinkle on detail white embossing powder and melt it with an embossing tool until shiny.

Step 5:

The two house die-cuts were layered and adhered together with liquid glue.

Step 6:

Splatter the background panel with Splatter White Opaque Watercolor.

Step 7:

Using liquid glue, adhere the black cardstock panel to the bottom of the background.

Step 8:

Adhere the moon and bats with liquid glue.

Step 9:

Add foam squares to the back of the house.

Step 10:

Adhere the house to the background to finish off the card. I thoroughly enjoyed creating with the 13 Days of Craftoween 2025 Advent Calendar! I hope you’re loving all the inspiration!!
