We're still creating with Festive Frames this week ... include at least one frame in your card design.
Here's how we got framed this week:
This fortnight we'd like to see cards that incorporate at least one frame as part of the design. Here's how we got festively frame-y this week:
Stephanie says, "To make my frame, I used two Nested Ovals Double Stich Dies from Pinkfresh Studio and silver glitter cardstock. I used this week's Sketch Saturday layout together with a tree from Fancy Pants Cookies for Kringle Ephemera, a vintage Memory Box sentiment and an edge die cut from Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Edges Thinlets."
Link up your own Framed masterpieces right here! JB2513: Festive Frames runs until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, July 2nd.
Holiday music, Christmas carols, and other sounds of the season are always inspiring and there are some lovely cards for you to check out in the Fa-La-La-La-La Readers' Gallery. But first, here are a few that especially caught out eye... or, in the case, ear! ;)
Much appreciation to everyone who played along, we loved seeing all of your clever and creative cards. We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we we think is deserving of the hall of frame!
This week at Jingle Belles the theme remains Fa-la-la-la-la ... We're asking you to create a card that incorporates music, a musical instrument, or a holiday song title or lyrics.
Here's our tune this week:
Lauren says, "This week I raided my stash of vintage sheet music and I chose a nicely patina-ed page to coordinate with this fun (ancient!) Basic Grey flower sticker. I added a few strips of washi tape, some inked edges, a chipboard sentiment and a shimmery red mat... et voila!"
This fortnight we're celebrating one of our favorite things at Jingle Belles ... Christmas Music.
We're asking you to create a card that incorporates music, a musical instrument, or a holiday song title or lyrics.
Here's how we're singing for you this week.
Christmas Critter Cards come in all shapes, sizes and styles. Here are three that especially caught our eye this time.
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! ;)
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:
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:
The bells and the Belles are ringing out with Christmas cheer as we survey the beautiful Readers' Gallery this fortnight. If you're looking for inspiration, be sure to have a scroll through all of the cards, we assure you it's worth the trip. In the meantime, here are three that especially caught our eye this time:
We're still creating holiday cards featuring Bells this week, and we'd love for you to join us.
Here's how the Belles rang the Bells:
Remember, you have until 6pm EST on Wednesday to link-up and join the fun. Everyone who does will have a shot at this sweet little Bell-centric prize!
This fortnight we're asking you to break out your Bells for the Belles and create a card that includes some sort of bell.
Here's how the Belles used Bells this week:
And now, how about an appropriately Bell-related prize that one lucky cardmaker is going to score, just for linking up with us this fortnight? It's Honey Bee's Layering Holiday Bells die set; Memory Box's 6x6 Madras Plaid paper pad and Spellbinders' Winter Wonderland Sentiment diecuts.
It seems we were not the only ones who felt extra-inspired by that fun Ornamental Color Challenge, so if you haven't had a scroll through the Readers' Gallery we highly recommend the trip. In the meantime, here are three takes that especially caught our eye:
Many thanks to everyone who played along, we loved seeing all of your beautiful, festive cards. We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we hope will get your creative bells-a-ringing! ;)
We're still creating cards using our Ornamental Color Challenge this week. We ask that you use at least three of the five colors to create your card.
We have a marvelous Ornamental Color Challenge for you this time. We're asking you to make a card featuring at least THREE of the five colors in the palette below.
There was not a huge turnout for our annual Earth Day Recycling Challenge, but the shortfall in quantity was more than made up for by the over-abundance of brilliant and beautiful ideas! To celebrate, here's a recap of all the fabulous entrants:
We're still celebrating EARTH Day at Jingle Belles this week by creating cards featuring recycled materials.
Here is how we recycled, reused & Jingled this week:
It's time for one of the Jingle Belles' favorite holidays... (apart from Christmas, of course!) ...Earth Day.
Our EARTH DAY prompt each year is all about RECYCLING ... and we'd like you to create a holiday card that features re-cycled, re-used or up-cycled elements. You know you've got that stash of things that you saved because they were just too pretty to throw away ... break them out and create with them.
In the past we've used everything from Kleenex Boxes & Soda Cans to Gift Wrap and we *always* have a lot of fun making our own cards and admiring yours!
