Happy new 2025🎉🎉🎉 stay bless

omg I have just received mine yesterday :o !! omgggg I thought It would be easy to store n carry around while I chill and craft in the TV lounge !! omg ... I really hope mine works because I got it shipped INTERNATIONALLY !! :( through third party !

Thank you so much for the recap as well as the whole series. I learned about Spellbinders last year as I got several doors in a swap and made ordering it a priority. It was so helpful to learn about the different options. I really enjoyed my Spellbinders calendar and your videos helped me to see other options for possibly changing (or adding) next year. Of all the ones you showed, I liked Pink and Main the least. I loved the foilables that they added, but it was too repetitious overall. I was surprised by how much I liked the Taylored Expressions. Specifically, I liked all the tools. If I were to do 2 next year I would probably to Spellbinders due to high quality and the way the different doors can easily be put together; and Taylored Expressions for the cool tools and again the way they put several days together to make the items very functional.

I agree TE was awesome and would buy that. The early bird gift punch was great and their themed weeks were nice. I thought Diamond Press did a nice job and think I would buy that calendar. So many dies in Spellbinders. So so many. Pink & Main with a whole box theme is a bit less for me, even though I liked the foilable things and fun paper.

Beautiful technique. Thank you

I'd buy Diamond Press and Spellbinders. They have more things I'm interested in. The Pink and Main stamps and dies were too childish for me. I also don't care for an entire theme month. TE is too expensive. The Spellbinders has a lot of small pieces, but I like their creativity. For Diamond Press' first year, they did a good job.

Thanks for the recap. I wasn’t surprised that Taylored Expressions first place but I was surprised with Pink & Main as second place. I would have put Diamond Press in second place, Pink & Main in third and Spellbinders in fourth. Spellbinders was almost 50% less in cost compared to the costs of TE and P&M. Something to keep in mind. I think Pink & Main needs to do something else besides one theme for the entire month. I would have been mad if I bought last year’s kit and got all winter themed items because I live in California. I do like how TE had a week or two where all of the products could be used together to create a card or tags. I’m definitely watching out for the TE early buy in July. Getting the nice 3 corner punch for an early purchase was very nice. I sure hope we get to buy some (well really all of them)of the tools that were in the calendar. TE products match nicely in my room. Thanks again for taking the time to show us day of the 4 calendars and the wrap up to show all of the calendar items together. Gives a nice visual. Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing your new crafty items you bought yourself. 🎉🎉🎉

I LOVED IS BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing ❤

I think P&M had the best item for the last day but over all, they’re my last pick. TE and DP tied. I’d use the glitter paste but not sure how often I’d use a long border die. TE wins the overall Best Advent Calendar. Followed by DP, SB and then P&M. I think next year should be TE and DP or TE and a new company. Thanks for taking the time and spending the money to show us all of the calendars. Definitely a huge help in deciding what to buy for next year. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you

Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing.

Boo to SB for not including Christmas Day! Lol

Today’s list: #1 suitcase dies from SB #2 TE squeegee #3 Embossing folder from DP and #4 the shaker bits from P&M.

I love the TE bags. Someone posted on the TE page all of the cards she made with the bags. Turned out really cute. They’re a great upcycle item.

More shaker bits??? Way too many for 25 days

Have a delightful holiday. This is a good day of nice things I think.

Almost done! The snowflake stencil goes with Gus on his sled so that’s cute to create a scene. The bird on a branch and the cat with the balloon aren’t themes I have much of. The Make A Wish die is cute but I have a ton of birthday stuff. Pink & Main has been birthday related for the entire calendar with 5 days of sequins. She could have done a theme per week but one theme for the entire calendar isn’t something that I’d pay $90 for. Overall I’m still with the order of TE, DP, SB and the P&M. I look forward to seeing the entire month for each company together. It will give a better perspective on the value of the calendar vs the products received. Oh and the dog’s name is Gus! 😅

Well today is DP, then matching die for the Gus stamp from yesterday and a tie for the sequins. Lots of sequins from P&M for the cost of the calendar.

Interesting day of embellishments. But for me my favorite is the matching die for Gus and Gertie.

Today was not a wow day but it wasn’t a fail either. The Ice Cream bar is really cute and a good size die for a card or tag. Gus is always cute. At least DP gave a lot of gems vs the other day where it was very few gems that I think was SB. Coordinating dies are good for the cute koala set. If you only picked 2 for next year, TE is a definite and then DP. I’d skip P&M and SB.

I like the popsicle dies and Gus and Gertie stamp.

Gumdrop is not an ink color available on the TE site. This is an exclusive color for the calendar or will be released later on in the year. It’s a pretty shade for Fall and Winter. So today my order is: 1. TE 2. P&M 3. DP 4. SB. I’m sad there’s only a few days left. Will be interesting to see if any of the Advent products end up on their sites for sale. I sure hope TE has all of the teal things and the mini glass mat go on sale later this year. 4 more days and then we have to wait a whole ‘nother year. I’ll be looking for the TE 2025 early ordering in July email. Not missing out for 2025. 😊

I really like the sun and clouds dies and the silver glitter.

I really love the sun and clouds dies. That is something I don't have and see lots of ideas where having a couple cloud dies would be beneficial.

Another pretty good Advent Calendar day. TE is the winner for me. I NEED that in my craft room.

You can never have too many brushes. I love the TE ones because they match my room and are good for smaller openings. Layered stencils are always fun. The Koala is cute and the sentiment stamps are ok. I have lots of sentiment stamps so I’m not wowed. Today is TE, DP, PM and then SB.

What a cute and useful stencil.

Today is definitely a redemption day. 😅 #1 is the coffee stamps and dies. The#2 is the Free Stencil, #3 is tied between the Embossing Powder and the mini ticket dies. Today was a great advent calendar day!

You know you have to give me the coffee cup dies, right?!😅😅😅

Like the embossing powder. Pretty blue color.

How cute this is!

Today’s vote for me are the foil panels because they will make super quick cards for gift bags. I’d just foil them all at once and be done. Then the paint marker, HIP HOP HOORAY and then SB. I’d only use those microscopic dies once because I’d lose a piece. 😅

Those TE sentiment cards are foilable with a minc. How sparkly they would be on a package.

The mini cards are for a gift or a gift bag.

Today’s winner is Pink & Main. I’m sure TE has something coming up to go with the mini card bases and envelopes. Then SB because it’s an embossing folder. DP is a fail for today for me. Looks like they just cut a full sheet of hearts into pieces and then gave everyone a small piece. You coir probably use some of the small Foilable pieces on the mini cards to make a quick bday card.

I think that lovely little scooping tool from TE is definitely the winner from today. I think I like the bags, you can reuse them on your cards if you like them.

That French dog is soooo cute. Those for you stencils are useful. My Christmas shopping is done. Thankfully.

The stencils and the doggie dies are my favorite.

Yay; I knew the dies to the lion would be next! We are hoping to be able to see you tomorrow, on Sunday!

One nice thing about the doors is the ability to see what the items are (layered stencils together or all the little dies together.

It’s Taylored Expressions for the win. Then Diamond Press, Spellbinders and Pink & Main.

Those stitched stars are nice. That pretty glitter paste would get used by me. So sort of a tie for nicest things today.

Wow. Two embossing folders, pecan praline, and shaker bits. Wow. Interesting day.

Well this was an interesting day. You can save the Pecan Pralines for me! Both embossing folders are cute. The DP one is my favorite since it would go with all of the Art Deco things that I have. The stars are also cute but points off for having shaker bits two days in a row. They should have put them further apart in the calendar.

Well that was definitely a surprise from Diamond Press! 😂 Pink & Main was generous with the shaker bits. And the XO’s are really cute. You can never have too many shaker bits. I do like having a theme of items that work together, so you can actually use them to make something right away without having to dig into your stash, trying to coordinate items.

Excellent Tutorial😄 Just what I needed!

It seems like each Advent Calendar ends up with some sort of banner. The heart die must fit the heart stamp with the XOXO on it. As for what I’d use the most, probably the floral vase with the floral dies. But it is nice to have coordinating dies for stamps already in the box.

I like dies that go with day 7 for TE and Pink&Main.

I would go with the diamond press dies. I like the details in the petals and guessing the two bigger flowers will layer well.
