We're Warmer Already!!

So many gorgeously warm and fuzzy cards (both literally and figuratively!) on the ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ blog this week! We're very impressed with the way you all took this fun prompt and ran with it! Give yourselves and big round of applause, and be sure to scroll down and check out all the fabulous cards if you haven't yet!

Here are a few especially "cool" ideas that we thought expressed the sentiment Baby, It's Cold Outside particularly well!

Ros Crawford of Mikey's Mom
hand-cut her elegant scarf and mittens and added just enough detail to make her very glamorous card!

Shelley Germann of Stampin' Garden

took quite a small stamp, but used clever details...and a fun shaker-card design...to make a larger-than-life winter scene ... who wouldn't want to play in that glittery snow??

Alli of Scrappy Bitz

used only items from her stash--and a WHOLE LOT of imagination--to make these delightful snowman cards, complete with boucle yarn snow drifts and some very cool mesh for the background that I wish I had in my stash.!

A very big "WELL DONE" and "Thank you!" to everyone who played along! We'll be back at midnight with an especially good challenge set by, and guest-starring, one of your fellow ♥JINGLE BELLES♥! So be sure to stop back at midnight!

Baby, It's Cold Outside!

It's Stephanie here bringing you our Jingle Belles prompt #6 (JB06)

This week we're taking our cue from another Christmas tune (what can I say ... Lauren & I love Christmas songs) ... Baby, It's Cold Outside ... which means, we're prompting you to make cards or tags that include ... scarves, mittens, hats, ear muffs ... or some fuzzy warm felt (or perhaps all of the above if you are so inclined).

stephanie's card

my card features two Basic Grey jovial snowmen woolies

in scarves & hats

(which my husband said reminded him of Ren & Stimpy)

frolicking in a landscape awash with fuzzy felt snowflakes.

I used this weeks Mojo Monday Sketch and

a sticker sentiment from SRM Stickers.

lauren's card

lauren says, "i made this cute rudy reindeer by copying and enlarging an image from a piece of giftwrap to use as a pattern, and then basically "paper piecing" with different colors of felt instead of patterned paper (there's a step-by-step explanation of this on my personal blog); then i knitted him a tiny scarf! i also sewed some american crafts jumbo felt rick-rack onto my card, for good measure. only at the very end did i realize i had subconsciously used amy's gorgeous sketch from last week again-- but hey, it's a great sketch so why not?!"

Now it's time to see what kind of festive fun you can have with felt ... or mittens, hats, scarves or ear muffs ... take your choice ... and whatever you do, have fun with it and link your wonderful creations by 6pm EST on Wednesday, February 9th. If you don't have a blog, you can always upload your card to the Jingle Belles Flickr Gallery & link-up from there.
