Fa-la-la-la

Celebrating Christmas music at Jingle Belles!  Make a project featuring Christmas music!  Love this one!!

I printed some sheet music from Pinterest (Jingle Bells to be exact).  I used a Unity Stamp Co. set (cheerful prancing) some sequins some acrylic dots and some embossing powder my hubby got for me for Christmas! After stamping and embossing the reindeer, I fussy cut them out and used some dimensional tape to make them pop!  Thanks for checking them out! :)

Stuck on you!

Making Christmas cards in March, saves the stress in December!  The current prompt at Jingle Belles is for stickers!

The elements I used for these cards has been around in my stash for what seems like forever!   

Cardstock backgrounds are from my own scrap box.  Tags are from K&Company, chipboard stickers are imaginisce (from 2010), acrylic dots are Echo Park!

4 more for the stash!

Rudolph the "RED" Nosed Reindeer

Well since I missed the last challenge at Jingle Belles I made sure to get this one done early!  I did end up making the "three kings" cards, but not in time!

Now the request is for predominantly red cards!  

The background paper is from My Minds Eye (I believe).  Bazzil, twine, gold brads and a stamped image from Unity Stamp Co. (Brightly Shining)

And just for the fun of it......here are the "three kings" cards I made.  Making 4 at a time is really filling up my card stash!!

Santa was good to me!!

I must have been a very good girl this year.....Santa was very good to me!  The Jingle Belles prompt this time was all about new gifts you received for Christmas!

I used a gift card to purchase myself some new stamps from Unity Stamp Co. and my hubby also gave to me some beautiful embossing powders!

I've made 4 cards with the same image.....but 4 different ways!  See which one you like the best!  My daughter and I have already picked our favorite!

Happy New Year!

And just like that it's 2020!  Happy New Year!  Jingle Belles is back again this year with ideas to help "take back December!"  I did have to make about 10 cards extra, but it's better than having to create 100 all at one time!  Love this place!

The new year brings our next request.....use some gift wrap or tags that you used or received!  Luckily I still have stuff out, so it was easy to choose!

The plaid background is tissue paper, the present and lightbulb are gift tags.  I printed the sentiment on cardstock and added some faux stitching and bling!

Well on my way to a worry free December!  4 cards done!

It's a "banner" holiday!

This is the last official post for Jingle Belles this year!  I'm very proud of myself!  I only missed one prompt!  

This last one of the year is all about the beautiful Jingle Belles banner!  It changes each year and this card was inspired by it!  

Used Unity Stamps from ....cheerful prancing (p.s. they are having a big sale right now!) and mostly stuff from my stash!  snowflake embossing folder, scalloped border die cut that I cut the center out of us and shrunk it down to a square, doily and some pearl beads.

I have assembled quite a stash of cards all ready to be addressed and mailed!  This is the best thing that I have done for myself!  I used to sit and make cards until 1-2 am several nights in December!  I don't have an official total count as I've donated some and sold some along the way, but I have 45 here finished.....several more in the process of being finished and more design ideas in my head!  Can't wait to get started again in January! Thank you Jingle Belles!  Merry Christmas!

Baby It's COLD outside!

Being a (now) Floridian has changed my concept of "cold!"  Being that I'm originally from Michigan...I KNOW COLD!!  But with out latest cold front...it's definitely cold by Florida standards! Jingle Belles Rock has asked for warm weather gear on the next cards...hats, scarves, gloves, socks, mittens, jackets, etc.

These cuties are exactly what I need!  Warm fuzzy socks!  The stamps are from Unity Stamp Co.  I colored them in two different themes...the Florida version and the everyone else version! LOL

The blue paper is from BoBunny and the red polkadot is from My Minds Eye.  All else is stamped, colored and cut!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
