Stickers Galore!

I guess we're not the only ones who are "Stuck on Stickers" because everyone did such an amazing job making gorgeous cards featuring them this fortnight! If you haven't checked out the Readers' Gallery, we highly recommend a little scroll through all of the super-sticker inspiration. In the meantime, here are three cards that especially caught our eye:

Julene of Julene by Design

...found these three super-sweet dimensional felt gingerbread girl stickers in her stash, and built this bold and beautiful CAS card to hold them!

LeAnne of Wee Inklings

...only used one sticker on her card, but look at how amazingly elegant it is, and it's perfectly framed by the "fracture" technique which we now long to try!!!

Brenda of Brenda's Scraps of Life

...built her incredibly elegant card around these pretty Santa and sentiment stickers; then found paper and dies to make them even more appealing!

Many thanks to all who participated. Just in CASE you're wondering, we'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we hope you'll find as much fun as we did!

Stuck on STICKERS!

It's the second week of our Stuck on You prompt, so we're still making holiday cards with one of our favorite holiday card embellishments: STICKERS! Here's how we got sticker-centric this week:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I love the big 12x12 sticker sheets that coordinate with various holiday patterned paper collections. Shocking true confession: I don't always feel like I need the papers themselves; sometimes I just buy the sticker sheet. Case in point: Simple Stories' Snow Pine Lodge provided all of these cute stickers (that camper, tho!); the papers, which I chose by color, are all just older scraps from my stash!"

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I covered my teal card base with these clear gold metallic stickers (no idea who makes them or where they came from).  I added a few Spellbinders Gold Smooth Discs.  I finished by adding a Doodlebug Design Santa using foam tape and a very vintage SRM Sticker sentiment."

JB2618: Stuck on You runs until next Wednesday evening, September 9th. Link your sticker-centric cards on the original post, directly below this one!

Stuck on You

We're celebrating STICKERS this fortnight, one of the first types of embellishments we started collecting early in our cardmaking days; and a crafty must-have that we both still absolutely adore. We're guessing that, like us, you have a little stash of holiday stickers you could raid for this challenge; whether they are fun little 3-D images, or sentiment strips, or even your favorite holiday washi tape will work. Whatever your sticker/ stick-on choice, break them out and use them on your holiday cards!

Here's how we stuck to it this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I recently picked-up Simple Stories Snow Pine Lodge paper collection that included a sheet of lovely stickers.  I adorned the top of my journaling card with a flower cluster sticker and added a sentiment sticker framed by holly leaves stickers.  I added more tumbling leaves and branches and finished with a candy cane.  I just love this unexpected color combination."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "Probably my most hoarded stickers are the Basic Grey alphabet sheets that came with all of their holiday collection packs back in the day. It's not that I didn't use them at the time, or in the meantime; but nevertheless I've amassed a bit of a collection... though admittedly not all of them still have any vowels left. So this week I decided to mix and match several colorways to make a fun texty background for my card. Then I added some nice big ornament stickers from BG's Figgy collection, a mat of red, and some machine stitching around the edges et voila!"

♥♥♥

JB2618: Stuck on You runs until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, September 9th. We cannot wait to see what you'll make with STICKERS!

More Masculine Merriment

We're in our second week of making "Guy Cards" here at Jingle Belles, by which we mean holiday cards with a masculine vibe.

Here are our contributions to Masculine Merriment this week:

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "This card is 99% composed of gorgeous vintage-themed elements from Tim Holtz's Idea-ology Christmas Emporium Layers, a curated collection of elements that I snagged on the Ranger website. I've added in a few paper scraps, some twine, and woodgrain background. I distressed the edges of literally every single piece, which  which might arguably be considered "too much" but it was quite relaxing and soothing to do, so there's that."

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "When I thought about potential masculine themes, I thought it would be fun to incorporate a card ... and thankfully, right on top of my yet-to-be-used pile was this adorable Snowman Reindeer Car from Cottage Cutz.  I had fun piecing it all together on top of a hexagon die cut from one of my Gelliarts prints on top of foiled All That Sparkles paper by Lawn Fawn.  I added a sentiment from Waffle Flower Classic Holiday Sentiments."

JB2617: Masculine Merriment runs until the evening of next Wednesday, August 26th. Link your newly made, holiday "guy cards" on the original Masculine Merriment post; directly below this one.
