It's Almost 2026...

We'll be kicking off the new Jingle Belles year at 12:01am (Eastern) on January 1, 2026, but first let's get our party clothes on... by which we mean: Here's our new blog header and badges for our sixteenth season! 

Header created by Lauren Bergold in Photoshop Elements

Digital Elements: Music paper (red): Cosmo Cricket Jolly by Golly paper pack; flower, lace and holly: Katie Pertiet Vintage Christmas kit; bells: Anna Aspnes Retro Holiday Art Play Palette; font: Bohemian Typewriter from Dafont.com; Over the Rainbow glitter text layer style by Flergs

Getting Ready...

...for a brand new season of stress-free holiday cardmaking Jingle Belles. As usual, we're starting off with a new banner, plus small badges for blogs and a nice big square for Instagram.

 (You needn't download or post any of these to participate, but they're here if you'd like them.)

Banner and badges designed by Lauren Bergold using PSE9

Digital design products: ArtOptions MiniMix09 and Winter Ice Kit from Katie Pertiet Designs; Over the Rainbow Glitter Style by Flergs; Bohemian Typewriter, Pretzel and Rainy Days fonts from DaFont.com

Getting Ready for 2024!

And since we like to see each Jingle Belles year as a fresh new start, here's the new blog banner for the year, as well as a small badge and a nice big square for those of us who like to post on Instagram!

Header and graphics created in PSE9 by Lauren Bergold, featuring images and elements from Katie Pertiet Designs, including Christmas Spectacular Essential Rub-ons; Classic Glam Elements Gold 01; and her Adalicia Paper Pack, which seems to have gone out of print, though if you type "Neutral Paper Pack" into the search box at KPD, you'll get lots of excellent options, including this Vintage Artistry Pack, which is very close indeed! Fonts are Brusher and Bohemian Typewriter, both free from Dafont.com. 

♥♥♥♥♥

We'll be back at 12:01am on January 1, 2024 with the first prompt of the year and a couple of cards we hope will inspire you to join the fun. See you then!

Happy (nearly!) New Year

We love to start each new Jingle Belles season with a new header and badges; this year there's a larger square, as well, for those of us who love to post on Instagram. 2023 is starting off pink and white and kraft and sparkly! Stay tuned because we'll be back at 12:01am, January 1, 2023 with the very first card prompt of the year!

A New Look for the New Year
