Since Lauren & I started Jingle Belles in 2010, I've been recapping my five favorite Christmas cards of the year (you can find 2010, 2011, 2012 & 2013 here) ... I always enjoy revisiting my creations for the year.
Here they are in no particular order:
1 - This first one was for our Jingle Belles prompt to make a holiday card for those who might not celebrate Christmas. I love every element of this card ... and how well they all work together. The bow behind the brad & the binder punch are design elements I should incorporate more often ... and the stickers make for such easy assembly.
2. I had fun making the 12 Tags of Christmas with a Feminine Twist this year ... and this is the tag I kept for myself. I love the elegance of the silver glitter stripes ... and the glittery cardinals were the perfect touch for our cardinal loving family.
3. This was certainly my weirdest card of the year ... but also the most fun to make. My husband came-up with the idea of Christmas Corn for the Food Prompt at Jingle Belles ... and we ran with it. We spent the afternoon discussing different elements ... and then figuring out ways to incorporate them. It still makes me smile ... especially the look on the raccoon's face as he tries to sneak a present from under the Corn.
4. I was thrilled with how cool the punched silver glitter branches looked when I made them into a wreath card for a Fusion Card Challenge ... and it's also a great example of my love of sequins in 2014 ... certainly my favorite embellishment of the year.
5. This card celebrated RED at Jingle Belles. I love when a piece of designer paper works perfectly for a card design ... I also love that some of the oldest embellishments in my studio finally found a home.
And don't forget ... if you want to take back December 2015 one holiday card at a time, join the fun at Jingle Belles starting January 1st.
