Spellbinders | Craft-O-Ween Advent Calendar Days 1-3

August 23, 2025

Hello friends! I have three cards to quickly share with you today featuring the first three days of this year’s Spellbinders Craft-O-Ween Advent Calendar. A few weeks ago, I shared a post with you showcasing the outer box (which quickly sold out), and now I get to show you what’s inside!

Don’t worry if you missed out on the Halloween Advent Calendar this year, Spellbinders offers so many other fun Halloween products that you can check out by clicking the button below.

For Day 1, I used the Dracula die set and combined it with the grass die from the Bunch of Borders Etched Die Set. I first die cut all of my Dracula pieces from white card stock and colored them with Copic markers to give each piece more depth and shading. For my background, I masked off an area for my moon by die cutting some masking paper with a large circle die and adhering it to my 4.25″ x 5.5″ card base. Next, I blended around my moon with some Lost Shadow, Hickory Smoke, and Black Soot Distress Inks. I started by blending my lighter ink colors around the moon and then moving outward with my darker colors to create a faux glow. Before removing my circular masking paper, I also added some spatters of diluted Copic Opaque White Paint. After removing my masking piece, I then colored my moon with 0, C00, C1, and C3 Copic Markers.

For Day 2, I also die cut my image pieces from white card stock and colored them with Copic Markers. This time, for my background, I blended a mix of Villainous Potion, Wilted Violet, and Milled Lavender Distress Inks. For my grassy section, I simply trimmed the top of strip of black card stock with some scissors.

For Day 3 of the calendar, I once again die cut and colored my images in the same manner as my first two cards. I also used the grass die again that I had used in card #1. For my spooky background, I blended a mix of Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, and Black Soot Distress Inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed my cards today! Stay tuned for the next three days of the Craft-O-Ween Advent Calendar coming soon! 🎃
