Beautiful Beasties

Christmas Critter Cards come in all shapes, sizes and styles. Here are three that especially caught our eye this time.

Helen of Helen's Craft Haven

...not only displays her mind-blowing level of coloring skills with this sweet image, she's added the perfect snowy background and a skinny red mat that ties everything together! 

Helen of Made by Helen

...made us wonder WHAT could be cuuuuuter than an adorable scarf-wearing reindeer, framed in silver and pink? Bonus shout-out to the cool gems in the four corners!

Silke of Karten Kram

...made this adorable image even more charming by adding whimsical red, green and neutral elements to complete a fab and festive card design!

Many thanks to everyone who played along, we loved seeing all of your wonderful and inspiring cards! We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we hope will have you singing along! ;)

Critter Christmas

We're back again this week with cards that include Animal Antics ... because even animals know when Santa is on his way.

Here's what we made this week:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "Lawn Fawn's Critters in the Arctic set is probably ten years old and yet, I still find it every bit as adorable and whimsical as the first time I saw it; I'm guessing others do too as it's still available. I love coloring or (as in this case) paper-piecing those happy arctic pals; and I'm especially happy with the floral moose! I went a little more wintery than xmas, with a neutral diecut sentiment from Elizabeth Craft Designs' Winter Wishes set (also ancient and I believe out of print) since not everyone celebrates Christmas and it's nice to have a selection of cards on hand in December."

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie Says, "I knew my Taylored Expressions Big Grumpy needed to make an appearance for this prompt.  This time I added mittens on his paws and reindeer antlers from Big Grumpy Christmas together with the Ho Ho ... No. sentiment.  I finished with a silver embossed snowflake from Taylored Expressions Flip the Snowflake."

JB2511: Animal Antics runs until next Wednesday evening, June 4th. Link your card(s) on the original post... directly below this one!

Animal Antics

The next prompt at Jingle Belles is Animal Antics.  

We're asking you to create a holiday card featuring an animal having some Christmas fun (and yes, in the Jingle Belles work, a Yeti would qualify as an animal).

Here are the antics of our animals this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I chose the drumming doggie from Penny Black's 12 Days of Christmas. I stamped him in black and colored him with alcohol ink markers.  I used the Penny Black Shimmering Tune Stick & Shine with gold foil for the background."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "This handsome bear is the star of Sunny Studio's Holiday Hugs Stamp Set and I smile whenever I see him. I added an Eyelet Outlet Polar Bear Cub Brad to his mug of cocoa and used a piece of tree-festooned patterned paper as well as a few diecut mats and some stray stickers to finish off my card design."
