HO HA HA!

This fortnight at Jingle Belles, we're asking you to create Humorous Holiday Cards. They can be funny, punny, snarky or silly but make sure they're something that will induce a smile, a chuckle or a laugh.

Here's how we're sharing our humor this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "When I think of humor and snark, I immediately go to the Grumpy Characters from Taylored Expressions.  For this week's card, I used Taylored Expressions Big Grumpy - Cat with a sentiment and antlers from Taylored Expressions Big Grumpy-Christmas.  I positioned him onto a piece of Taylored Expressions Build a Scene Christmas paper with a tiny bit of holly on the sign finishing the design.

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "As I was pursuing a completely different idea, I found this teeny (1" square) HUMBUG stamp which I think has to be 20+ years old, and I wondered if I could make it into a full-sized A2 card. As it turns out, YES, I could; though it's definitely a bit more pared down than my usual style. A little matted diecut frame, some foam Thickers, and a few patterned paper panels in appropriately coordinating "Humbug Green" et voila!

And just for giggles (get it LOL) - for one lucky participant, we've got a fun little prize - 

the Ho Ho Ho Santa Faces Stamp Set from Hero Arts.

JB2419: Ho Ha Ha will run until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, September 25th.

Just In C.A.S.E.

It seems that CASE-ing previous Jingle Belles cards was indeed a considerable challenge, so we are extra-impressed by those who did an amazing job!

Deb Horst of Sendable Sentiments

...chose a card of Lauren's (see below) and did an amazing job replicating the structure, the pink and the ribbon... then added a few incredibly lovely twists of her own!

Jolanda Johnstone of The Inque Spot Studio

...chose a card of Stephanie's (see below) and did a fabulous job of making Stephanie's design entirely visible, while using her own beautifully chosen shapes and colors!

Fabiola of Mon P'tit Monde

...made TWO amazing versions of two different cards made by Stephanie and they're so awesome we cannot possibly choose between them!

Tune in at Midnight for a brand new prompt we think will be good for a laugh or two!

It Came Upon a Midnight CASE

This week we're still asking you to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any of the cards that Lauren or Stephanie have made for any of the previous Jingle Belles prompts (yep, you've got 13 1/2 years of cards to choose from). 

Be sure to link to the card that inspired you and tell us the selective edits you made to the design.

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "This week I was inspired by Stephanie's Neutral Noel collage card from June of 2021 (see below) I swapped the cool "found relatives" style photo for a scanned and re-sized vintage postcard of appropriate colors that is portrait rather than landscape-shaped; and of course my collage and vintage bits are different, but I kept to the footprint of the original card and made sure to include some sheet music, some softly patterned paper, a small piece of transparency, and... my favorite... that cool wrap of twine!"

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I chose Lauren's Man with the Bag card from June 2022, but I swapped Santa for a different Doodlebug Doodle-Pops Sugarplum Street 3-D stickers.  I also moved my sentiment underneath my scene and with my rotated oval die cut.  I had so much fun creating my paper scrap quilted background."
