We're still creating with GOLD (or other metals) at Jingle Belles this week.
I started with some foiled snowflakes from the Foil-a-palooza Lauren and I had in 2018.
I stamped, gold embossed & die cut a new Stampers Anonymous Swirly Snowflake that coordinated with the background perfectly.
Then I topped it with the Big Snowflake Bling from Eyelet Outlet.
Using the Sketch Saturday Layout, I added some puffy gold leaves behind my sentiment and finished with some glittery enamel dots.
This week at Jingle Belles, we're asking you to incorporate some GOLD into your card design (okay we'll stretch it a bit and allow silver & bronze too … just make sure it's metallic) … it can be ink, metallic paper, embellishments … just make sure it has the Midas touch.
I started with a gold doily and built my card around it using the layout from Feeling Sketchy.
I swapped the butterflies for glittery snowflakes backed by a white cardstocck snowflake for a bit more contrast and topped with a gold glittery enamel dot.
I finished with a sentiment from The Ton Crystal Flurries.
We're still CASE-ing (Copy and Selectively Edit-ing) each other's cards at Jingle Belles this week. I chose this beauty of Lauren's as my inspiration this week.
I couldn't find any typed text and didn't really have the desire to create my own background paper like she did, so I chose some scripty texty paper to build my wreath on.
I started with my green scrap folder and all of my circle small punches. I intended to use more than green, but there were so many cool papers in that folder, I ended-up sticking with a monochromatic design.
I added lots of bling and rather than ribbon & a heart, I went with punched glittery snowflakes and a piece of flair for my sentiment. I absolutely adore how this turned out.
We hope you'll join us by CASE-ing one of our cards ... see you at Jingle Belles.
Since September 7th will be Labor Day in the US, at Jingle Belles we've decided to celebrate by giving you a bit of a head start with this week's card design.
We're asking you to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any of the cards that Lauren or I have made for one of the Jingle Belles prompts (yep, you've got 9 ½ years of cards to choose from).
Be sure to tell us and link to what card inspired you.
Lauren and I both love our Washi ... so I chose her fabulous washi card from our Inspiration Post in April of 2018 for my inspiration.
I used teal and red for my criss-cross washi background and replaced her journal card with a stamped Silhouette Song Bird from Unity Stamp Company (which meant I needed to rotate the layout from horizontal to vertical). It's hard to see, but I did use one of the same tapes that Lauren did in her design (can you find it)?
I framed my image with punched snowflakes and some bling. This was so fun and therapeutic to make.
I'm also linking-up at the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
We can't wait to see which of our cards inspire your holiday designs.
We're still Creating with Cardstock at Jingle Belles. This week I decided to try out my new Birch Press Ornament Basics Craft Die.
I die cut it from two of my Karin Marker colored backgrounds and silver metallic cardstock for the holiday. I finished with a fabulous Eyelet Outlet Snowflake Bling.
I used Eyelet Outlet Silver Glitter Tape to create the Border for my Sentiment from Memory Box Dashing with Reindeer. The background is colored cardstock that I brayered with Acrylic Paints during Art Camp 2019 ... love the modern feel of it.
We hope you'll break out your cardstock and join us.
At Jingle Belles this week we're banning you from designer paper … we want you to create only with cardstock (or watercolor paper) … but no designer paper allowed.
The theme at the Memory Box Challenge this month is Happy Holidays … and nothing goes better with cardstock than Memory Box Die Cuts.
I used three different Memory Box Die Cuts to create my wintry scene (Vintage Sled, Tall Pine and Marvelous Pine).
I tore some white cardstock for my wintry landscape and die cut the Tall Pine a second time from green cardstock for the pine boughs on my sled.
The sentiment is from Memory Box Dashing with Reindeer.
I love using leftover stickers to fill the entire front of my card. I combined some leftover puffy drink stickers with several texty stickers and a vintage wood block Hero Arts stamp for holiday cheer. I finished with scatterings of leftover bling.
One lucky participant will get the 4x6" Be Merry and Classic Stamp Set from Couture Creations.
We hope you'll pull out your leftovers and come join us.
One of my favorite things about the holiday meal is the leftovers … I always enjoy a little stuffing and cranberry sauce on my ham sandwich.
So this week at Jingle Belles we're celebrating Holiday Leftovers by creating cards using all of those little leftover pieces of paper, alphabet letters, stickers, ribbon … you know those things you have saved because they were just too cute to throw them away … well, we want to see you use them to make some fun leftover holiday cards.
I went to my Prima Santa Baby Collection and used leftover paper scraps and stickers for my card using this week's Sketch Saturday.
I added a few more orphaned sentiment stickers and a few stray pink postage stamps to finish my design. I love how Santa is holding the mug of cocoa and the cupcake stickers.
One lucky participant will get fun Be Merry and Classic Stamp set from Couture Creations, so break out your leftovers and join our holiday meal.
This week at Jingle Belles we're still making cards inspired by this Colorful Inspiration photo.
This week I took my inspiration from the multiple banners. I used Taylored Expressions Party Pennants Background inked and stamped with my MISTI with different colors.
Sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Spoiler Alert.
I finished with red bling on the top banner and purple bling on the bottom one. Hope you'll come join us.
This week' at Jingle Belles we're taking our inspiration from this lovely holiday photo.
My initial inspiration came from the bottle brush trees in those wonderful colors.
I stamped the tree from Essentials by Ellen Bear Ware 2 five times in the fun color rainbow.
Then my inspiration for the sentiment came from the JOY on the right side of the fireplace and is from Essentials by Ellen Retro Holiday Greetings. Finally, my wood grain card base was inspired by the flooring.
I'm still enjoying the Summer of Stamping with Ellen Hutson - #EBESummerofStamping.
