The next Jingle Belles prompt is asking you to create a card with THREE of one element: three circles, three reindeer, three packages under the Christmas Tree ... you get the picture.
Here are our THREE point shots for this week:

Click here to enterHow delightful to see so many Jingle Belles singing along with our "Fa-la-la-la-la" challenge to incorporate music, instruments or a holiday song title. If you haven't yet seen all the entries in the Readers' Gallery, we highly recommend a little scroll through all of the musical inspiration. In the meantime, here are three cards that especially caught our eye:
We're still celebrating Christmas Music this week. We're asking you to create a card (or tag, or gift card holder, or whatever else you'll be needing for the holidays) that incorporates music, musical instruments, or even the title of a favorite Christmas Carol.
Here's what we're singing:
Lauren says, "I used a vertical strip of real (torn) sheet music; some horizontal music-printed washi tape; and a tiny journal card with "Deck the Halls" on it, so I think I've covered all the bases. The background paper is from 49 & Market; the ancient slide mount frame is of unknown origin; and the foliage diecuts were leftover from another project... the dies were Tim Holtz for Sizzix Christmas Greenery. I cannot tell a lie: I love how this tuned out!"
And to celebrate the reopening of the STAMPlorations Store, we're sharing the CUTplorations Doodled Christmas Bells Cover Plate Die which one lucky (randomly chosen) participant will receive:

We're still Celebrating Rudolph (and the RED Baron) at Jingle Belles this week by creating cards that primarily feature the color RED.
Here is how we created with RED this week:
Lauren says, "I am fairly proud of how many scraps of RED patterned paper I combined to make this card (for the record, it's nine); and also the fact that I unearthed and used not one, not two, not three... but FOUR ancient border punches to do so! There are also eight (RED!) stickers; three (RED!) Eyelet Outlet brads and two (RED!) circle diecuts involved. I sewed around the edges to keep the edges on all those borders from curling up and called it a RED-letter day."
Are you RED-dy or another new prompt?
This time, in honor of Valentine's Day, the brief is to make a card that's predominantly... you guessed it... RED! ♥

It's week two of our "Something Old... Something New" prompt and we hope you're enjoying it as much as we are.

Woohoo ... the Jingle Belles (Lauren and Stephanie) are back for our 16th year of holiday mayhem, and we're absolutely thrilled you are along for the ride. We love that we get to use our large selection of holiday products all year long.
How it works is that every other Friday at 12am EST (except for today, since we always love starting on January 1st) we'll post a new prompt to inspire your next holiday card ... you can join us for one ... you can join us for all. Then the following Friday, we'll post a second card inspired by the same prompt.
And voila ... at the end of November, we'll each have 48 holiday cards ready to give to our friends, family and co-workers.
The first prompt of the year is No Time Like the Presents ... so before you put away your gift wrapping supplies, pull out some of your favorites (or some of that paper from a gift you unwrapped that was just too pretty to recycle) and make a card featuring wrapping paper or holiday gift tags.
Here's how the Belles were inspired this week:
And for a bonus, one lucky (randomly chosen) participant will receive Christmas Baubles #2 Layering Dies from STAMPlorations. Shery just started her storefront up full swing again, so we love supporting her.
