CASE-ing Christmas

Since September 7th was Labor Day here in the US, we've decided to celebrate by giving you a bit of a head start with this fortnight's card designs. We're asking you to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) any of the cards that Stephanie or Lauren have made for any of the previous Jingle Belles prompts. Which means you've got 16.5 years worth (times two!) of ideas from which to choose! You don't need to make an exact duplicate of the card (the acronym does say "Selectively Edit" afterall); just be sure to tell us which card inspired yours!

Here's how we've CASE-d Christmas this week:

Stephanie's Inspiration:

Lauren's Peace on Earth Card from September 2019

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I loved the grungy wintry beauty of Lauren's card.  I die cut the large snowflake and punched medium sized snowflakes to layer on top.  I finished with an Eyelet Outlet snowflake brad. I too created my background from a GelliArts print, however, I realized I didn't include any snowflake elements, so I stamped the Tim Holtz Swirly Snowflake on top.  Since my snowflake was larger, my card wasn't large enough for three words, so I used Pinkfresh Studio stickers to add two holiday words."

Lauren's Inspiration:

Stephanie's Unicorn Color Palette Card from July 2026

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I chose quite a recent card of Stephanie's because I love it, of course; but also because I realized I had almost all the right "ingredients" so it seemed like too good an opportunity to waste, lol! In retrospect, I wish I had made my card a bit smaller but... (shrugs) ...hindsight is 20/20, right? I used the same adorable Lawn Fawn Yeti as Stephanie; I diecut circles from four similar shades of cardstock and debossed them, albeit with a slightly different snowflake folder. I swapped in an Eyelet Outlet Santa Hat and Candy Cane Brad in place of the stamped versions; then I added red and black mats and a similar Lawn Fawn sentiment. Et voila!"

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!

Tree Skirt Tic-Tac-Toe

This fortnight, we're playing Tree Skirt Tic-Tac-Toe, which is a bit like "Beach Blanket Bingo"... but much more Christmassy... and with a lot more embellishments! We'd love for you to join us; all you have to do is pick a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) and create a lovely new holiday card featuring all three elements in that row. (Please note that you can, of course, use more than one snowman, more than one diecut, etc. etc.)

Sound like fun? We thought so! Here's how we played the game this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I went with vertical down the left side with a Snowman Die and a Flower adorning her cute little cap.  Dies and Stamps are all Memory Box with one of my woodgrain Gelliarts prints used for the arms ... and of course, I never pass up and opportunity for googly eyes."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I chose the center horizonal row, which gave me: Flowers + Red or Green + Ribbon. I couldn't wait to use my new Simon Hurley Festive Holly Layering Stencil set for the "red or green" portion; I used Simon's Iced Out and Tropical Tango Stellar Inks for the holly leaves and stems, with Prom Queen for the berries. My "flowers" consist of the single white silk poinsettia I had left, stacked with two layers of Tim Holtz's Tattered Poinsettia die, which I cut from deep pink felt and held on with an ancient holly themed brad. For "ribbon" I used two different patterns from an older set of Doodlebug Design holiday ribbons. At the very end I sewed around the perimeter (those ribbons are ON THERE lol!) and added a couple of mulberry paper ivy leaves of unknown origin."

♥♥♥

JB2616: Tree Skirt Tic-Tac-Toe runs until 6pm (Eastern) on the evening of Wednesday, August 12th. Link your totally terrific Tic-Tac-Toe cards right here:

Something Old... Something New

You've probably guessed from the title, "Something Old... Something New" that this fortnight  we'd like to see holiday cards on which you combine an item or two that you've had in your craft stash for a bit together with something new that you received for the holidays... or shopped for yourself (we all know we can be our own best Santa)! 

Here's how we mixed the OLD with the NEW this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "My new is Hero Arts Hero Arts A Little Merri-Mint stamps & coordinating dies that Santa Stephanie gifted me for Christmas (I love how she always knows exactly what I want LOL). I paired it with a snarky sentiment for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.  The old (but embarrassingly never used) is the Nordic Frames Die from The Greetery together with white pearls that I'm guessing have been hanging around for at least 10 years."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "My NEW things consist of: lots of stickers from the Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Christmas Sticker Book I treated myself to; a brand new pack of EO Angel Brads that I got last summer, promptly lost and just now found again (yay!); and snowflakes diecut from very cool sticky-back felt that a friend gifted me. The OLD stuff is... everything else, lol; including: papers from Prima's Pretty Pale collection; doily scraps; gold glitter cardstock; and chipboard letter diecuts made from well-patina-ed vintage sheet music."

JB2602: Something Old... Something New runs until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, January 28th. Link your cards right here:

BLING on the Holidays!

This fortnight we're celebrating (...you may have guessed it from the title...) BLING! All you need to do is make a card featuring jewels, gems, beads, pearls, glitter, stickles, or anything sparkly and join the fun by adding it with the Linky tool at the bottom of this post.

Meanwhile, here's how we're BLING-ing it this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "Bling is the perfect way to decorate a Christmas Tree, especially this three layer Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree die cut set from Spellbinders.  I cut the bottom layer of my tree from white glitter paper for even more sparkle.  And for a bit more shine, I topped the tree & die cut the My Favorite Things PEACE Die-Namics sentiment from Concord & 9th Champagne Foil Paper.

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I've had these Bling Snowflakes from the big box store for aggggggggges, so I was determined to use them for this prompt. I found a funky gel print made (at some un-remembered time, lol) by using an ancient Darice snowflake embossing folder to remove paint from the plate. I added some older Tim Holtz metallic rub-on transfers to enhance the holiday theme. My sentiment and mat are white glitter cardstock and the finished card is an A6."

♥♥♥

Christmas Feast

This fortnight at Jingle Belles we're celebrating one of our very favorite aspects of the holidays: The Christmas Feast! There are lots of iconic holiday foods, from cookies and candies to gingerbread in all its forms; sugar plums, Christmas pudding, Buche de Noel, even the Grinch carving the Roast Beast!

 Make a holiday card in any color, style or size you like... just make sure it features a tasty holiday treat.

Here's how we're FEASTING (in card form!) this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I went with the iconic coffee (or in my case hot cocoa) and a peppermint candy cane for this week's card featuring Lisa Horton Crafts Winter Layering Snowman Stencils and brads from Eyelet Outlet (Candy Cane & Holiday Coffee Cup).  I created my card in traditional holiday colors of Red & Green for the Caffeinated Christmas Challenge theme and finished with an Eyelet Outlet Cardinal brad perched in the pine tree."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "As often happens when I get out my adorable Doodlebug Design holiday stash, I couldn't just make ONE card. In my defense, D-bug always includes a lot of sweet (in every sense lol) treats, which are perfect for this particular theme. For these cards I raided the patterned papers and sticker from the aptly named Gingerbread Kisses and Candy Cane Lane collections. I used coordinating papers from my scrap box, and couldn't resist adding a few Eyelet Outlet Gingerbread and Candy Cane Brads." 

And one lucky participant in the Christmas Feast prompt will win a brand new Tim Holtz Santa Claus Thinlits Die Cuts.

♥♥♥

The Christmas Feast challenge (#JB2423) will run until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, November 20th. Link up your tasty treat cards right here:

We Wish You a Plaid Christmas

This fortnight we're celebrating one of our favorite types of pattern: PLAID! There are lots of great patterned papers in that category, not to mention stamps and stencils for creating one's own. You might incline to tartan ribbon, a buffalo plaid background or argyle accents, just find a plaid you like and incorporate it into your card. 

Here's how we went mad for plaid this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "Lawn Fawn has some of the prettiest plaid papers.  I combined this one from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid with the Lawn Fawn Stitched Poinsettia Dies and a sentiment from Simply Winter Sentiments ... love the contrast of the solid elements with the plaid background."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I started with a buffalo plaid journaling card from last year's Carta Bella "Christmas Cheer" collection, added a vintage station wagon cut from an old My Mind's Eye design, added some handsome Eyelet Outlet Cardinals, and mounted the whole thing atop an older Authentique plaid set on the diagonal."

Holiday Cards to Die For!

We're embracing the joys of die-cutting this fortnight at Jingle Belles, so break out your nested label shapes, your stamp-and-die combos, your beautiful background dies or all of the above! 

For those who have not embraced the format, we'll also accept cards that feature old school paper punches, as well as electronic cutting systems like Cricut, Silhouette, etc; so there's no excuse not to join the fun!

Here's what we made this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "Memory Box is one of my favorite companies for Die Cuts.  This card features both their Tall Taper candle and the holly accent trimmed from the Memory Box Cabrini Ornament, all cut from glitter paper outlined by gold metallic paper.  I paper pieced it together on a piece of Memory Box Garland designer paper and finished with a sentiment from Memory Box Holiday Greenery."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I love this Hero Arts Holly Confetti Cover Die, so it's a bit of a mystery why I don't use it more? That's what I love about challenges... they spur me on to use neglected items. I made a funky smooshed background using Lime, Pthalo Green and Turquoise ColorBurst, and layered the diecut panel over some ancient dark green velvet paper. The flower and snowflake stack has some pre-packaged silvery diecut snowflakes, as well as Tim Holtz Tattered Snowflakes that I cut from white glitter paper; the flakes are sandwiched between layers of fabric flowers. The brad at the center is so old I'm not sure where it's from, but it has tiny holly leaves so I couldn't resist!"

Think Big but Go Small

We're celebrating a merry *LITTLE* Christmas this fortnight at Jingle Belles; by making cards that feature Inchies or Twinchies. Traditionally, we think of inchies as artsy one inch squares, but you can use other shapes, like circles, or perhaps even snowflakes or small embellishments. You might contain your entire image within the inch... or perhaps break a single holiday image into a grid of smaller shapes? Feeling stumped? Here are a few ideas from Pinterest to get you started. Just get creative and go LITTLE! 

Here's what we made this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I cut three twinchie squares from some Tim Holtz Packaging and then used a collection of Tim Holtz Ephemera, stickers and one rubber squire to create three little mini-collages for my design.  I backed them on some poinsettia paper, added a wrap of twine, and finished with two scatterings of some teal gems to tie it all together."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I've embraced the original "Inchie" concept by making three, one-inch, decorated squares. In this case, the three are "kissing cousins" which all feature dictionary paper backgrounds, diecut foliage and Eyelet Outlet holiday brads. To make the inchies stand out against my vintage collage background, I framed them up with two layers of patterned paper and popped the whole thing on foam tape."

A Banner Holiday

For our final Jingle Belles prompt of 2020, we're asking you to make cards that are inspired by our Jingle Belles Blog Header (digitally designed by none other than Lauren).

You might choose the red glittery letters, the garland of jingle bells, the snow covered trees or even the texty background and red snowflake to inspire you ... just make sure you tell us how your creation was inspired by our design.

Here's where we took the inspiration this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "First I decided to make a horizontal skinny card in the shape of the banner itself.  Next instead of trees, I went with gorgeous holiday greenery paper from Tim Holtz' holiday papers and then added a light blue strip that reminded me of the bluish grey background of our banner (and was on the back); I framed the strip in red to bring out the red text that is the showcase of the banner.  Rather than a garland of bells, I chose a single bell with a white ribbon sentiment from the coordinating embellishment pack.  Then I added a December calendar inspired by our Taking Back December One Holiday Card at a Time tag line.  I finished with some red bling on the holly bows inspired by the red bling in the center of the snowflake in the banner.  I used a flipped take on the Sketch Saturday layout for my design."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "Ok so... my card is realllllllly literal, lol; and I want to re-stress the fact that you definitely do not have to use the sketch AND the colors AND the bells, trees, glitter letters, etc.; in fact, any one of those selections would work perfectly well! But as I was putting this together, it turned out that I had quite a few products similar to the inspo design, and I just kept adding them in! Next week's card will be much more abstract!"

Get in Shape for the Holidays

The official start of summer next week seems like the perfect time to "get in shape" but luckily there's no diet or exercise required, we just want you to make a shaped card, by which we mean NOT a square or rectangle. Of course a fancy fold or some clever engineering (like an easel card, slider or pop-up) will also qualify.

Here's how we shaped up this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I turned two die cut circles and dies from Paper Smooches Snowman Card Dies into this fun Snow Man card.  I added two different sizes of googly eyes, a carrot nose cut from a scrap of orange water colored paper, some flair on the scarf, and my very own hand-cut stove pipe hat decorated with some eyelet outlet bling."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I went with an ornament-shaped card, based on a homemade template from a year or two ago. It's decorated with quite a varied assorment of goodies: paper from Prima's "Georgia Blues" collection; older Petaloo flowers; velvetty 7 Gypsies leaves and a pearl flourish of uncertain origin. I cut a base from dark blue cardstock to make this unusually shaped card --with its very small hinge-- a little bit sturdier. But I also like how it sort of "outlines" the card!"

♥♥♥

For some added extra incentive we've got a little prize for one random cardmaker who links up with us this fortnight. It looks a bit like this... ok, technically, it looks EXACTLY like this, lol:

Tie a Holiday Ribbon...

...around the Christmas tree! Because this fortnight we're making cards that incorporate ribbon, trimmings, lace or fibers! 

Here's what we made:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "In my very earliest card-making days, ribbon was often my only embellishment, so it was fun to revisit the ribbon wrap technique.  I wrapped three different ribbons around my card front and attached them to the inside with clear packing tape.  Then I attached another * inside front* to my card to cover the tape.  I layered on on felt snowflakes and a silver glitter sticker (to coordinate with my silvery hand-painted paper and two silver ribbons) and finished with a sentiment flag from my stash."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "This idea is making me wonder HOW I didn't think of it before? Because I've made similar cards where I've done a lattice pattern with washi tape, but somehow it never occurred to me to use ribbon. I suppose partly because it's hard to attach in strips that lie completely flat? Unless, that is, you have 1/8" wide Sookwang Scor-Tape, so you can basically make your ribbon into stickers, one piece at at time. I didn't need to sew all the way around the edges, because those ribbons were on there; but I did anyway and I like how it looks. A fabric poinsettia and a retired Eyelet Outlet paper flower are all the focal point you need when you have NINE different ribbons... am I right? "

I Don't See Any Kings...

It's true there are actually no kings whatsoever to be found in this post which is makes this fortnight's prompt, "We Three Kings" a bit mysterious, doesn't it? In fact, we are focusing on the *THREE* aspect. We'd like to see cards with three reindeer or three trees or three... well... something on them! This is one of those times when a picture is worth a thousand (and three!) words, so here's what we made this week:

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I started with THREE adorable Doodlebug tags. I intended to add THREE Eyelet Outlet Brads (one on each tag) but the obvious choice for the reindeer was a set of antlers which brought the total to four, thus scuppering that; and anyway, the star is an enamel sticker. I settled for THREE border stickers behind the tags and finished off with THREE red snowflakes. I'd love to say I finished this at THREE pm... but... really it was more like 8:30, lol."

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "No Kings here either ... but I do have three shiny Reinbeer.  I always have to use this fun Reinbeer set from Your Next Stamp at least once each year for one of the many beer-lovers on my Christmas Card List.  I used the Sketch from The Paper Players with the googly eyes and red nose being the top trio and the Christmas Trees for the bottom trio row.  Love these little guys."

Rudolph and Friends

Description:Santa will soon be making his appearance and he has no chance of getting here if not for his trusty reindeer. However, we don't want to leave out their other cousins in the Cervidae family so you can also include deer, moose, elk OR caribou in your design … oh heck, just include any animal on your card (or even a monster if you're so inclined & want to stretch the theme ... yep, that's how we roll).

Here are our featured creatures this week:

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "HOW CUTE is this Lawn Fawn Winter Narwhal?! Even if I didn't already love narwhals, this guy would've been enough to start me on the path, lol. To paper-piece, I stamped him on several shades of white patterned paper and once on a fun blue plaid, then let him join some adorable seal, walrus and husky friends on this fun Doodlebug Design paper. A few mats, a stamped sentiment from the narwhal mini-set and a couple of Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads and I was good to go."

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "When I saw this week's Sunday Stamps Sketch and this adorable Rudolph ornament sticker in my stash, this card almost made itself. I added snowflake embossing, a sentiment sticker, white doily, and a gold bow to tie in the gold on my sentiment ... and ta da ... Rudolph is the star of the show."

And we have a little prize for one lucky participant ... the gorgeous Penny Black Christmas Sprig Cling stamps.

Tag! You're It!

We've got a fun little twist this fortnight: we're making holiday tags (or using pre-made holiday tags), with a couple of options. You can make a freestanding tag to use on a gift OR you can incorporate a tag into a holiday card design. Here are our tag-centric creations:

Lauren's Tag(s)

Lauren says, "I chose to make freestanding tags, and made two, because I have a specific pair of friends in mind. Having said that, there have been years that I've made tags which, at some later date, get attached to folded card bases, because I've run short on cards in December, lol. I started with a couple of oversized manilla shipping tags and went a bit crazy with shabby chic embellishments from Prima. My patterned paper is from the "Christmas in the Country" collection, and I've paired it with my two all-time favorite stash items: vintage sheet music and doilies."

Stephanie's Tag-centric Card

Stephanie says, "I don't wrap any presents (Lauren cover your ears), but I do go after-Christmas shopping for all of the fun glittery tags I can get my hands on ... because I love to use them to make easy cards.  This one features a glittery wreath tag with this week's Try Stampin' (or Not) on Tuesday Sketch ... I also threw in a little Retro Rubber from Savvy Stamps."

A Rustic Glam Christmas Fireside

...is the vibe we are channeling this fortnight. Or at least, it's one possible interpretation of this beautiful inspiration photo we're using as a jumping off point for our holiday card designs:

photo credit

But in case you're thinking, "Well that's definitely not my style!" remember it's just an Inspiration Photo! So you can use as much or as little of ANY aspect of the pic. 

Maybe you'll go for a palette of all neutrals? Maybe you'll focus on ALL THE SPARKLE? Maybe you'll just choose one element, like the stockings hanging from the mantel? Or the frosted evergreen garland? Or even something super-specific, like the sweet vintage bike under the tree, or the amazing texture of that sisal rug? It's 100% up to you! 

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I started with the texture of the rug by covering my card base with DCWV Burlap paper.  Then I used the sketch from Fusion Card Challenge to incorporate my other elements like multiple shades of neutral ivories and browns with a touch of golden ribbon.  I die cut a Gina K. Designs Decorative Tag from a piece of Basic Grey Aspen Bark packaging (which I thought was close to the shape of the mirror on the mantle) and then used a few vintage embellishments that evoked the feel of the room that both include a Christmas Tree and grounded them with a cork sticker.  I attached my entire tag with a piece of vintage sheet music of The Little Drummer Boy.  I finished with an Alexandra Renke die cut clip."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "It's pretty obvious that I focused mainly on the neutral-but-never-boring color palette... specifically the many shades and many textures of WHITE which are in that gorgeous holiday room. My background paper is from Prima's "Pretty Pale" collection and has a bit of a layered, collage style. I couldn't resist adding floral elements and sparkly snowflakes, like the ones included on that amazing tree. My "natural" style tends to be a bit on the --ahem-- maximalist style (lol) so it was no trouble at all for me to add layers and layers of embellishment in the form of stenciling, rub on transfers, and of course plenty of bling!"

We've got an extra added attraction this time, in the form of some fun holiday goodies for one randomly chosen cardmaker who links up with us this time!

Snow Much Fun!

As you may have deduced from the title, we're celebrating *SNOW* this fortnight! So break out your snowmen (and women!) snowflakes, snowy landscapes, or anything else that features the frosty white stuff and get creative!

Here's what we made this week:

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "This sweet snowman from Prima's "Santa Baby" chipboard has been calling to me since I acquired him last December at my lss, Paper Anthology. Finally I found the *perfect* home for him on this ancient piece of sheet-music inspired patterned paper from October Afternoon. All I needed to finish up were a few mats, a couple of diecuts and some awesome Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Brads!"

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I love using non-traditional color combinations for my holiday cards ... so I featured MFT Color Challenge with some Berry Pink Snowflakes (stamped altogether using my MISTI).  I finished with the coordinating die cut snowflakes and some Eyelet Outlet Bling."
