Many thanks to everyone who played along, we hope you had a chance to hop around and see the inspiring cards your fellow Jingle Belles created! We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt we hope will bring a SPARKLE to your eye! ;)
This week at Jingle Belles we're still creating cards that primarily feature Die Cuts; shaped images made with craft punches or electronic systems (like Silhouette or Cricut) are also acceptable in this context.
Here are our "to-DIE-for" cards that we made this week:
Lauren says, "This week I've used three dies to make two versions of one card. Penny Black's Glorious Poinsettia is my focal image; for each card I cut it several times from both green red, to make it more substantial and to emphasize the petals and leaves. I also used two of the three dies in Tim Holtz's Sizzix Mixed Media Christmas set to create background patterns using negative space, then layered the pierced backgrounds onto contrasting colors. As you can see, I love combining multiple patterned papers; and NO, for the record, I've never met a Christmas plaid I didn't love!"
You have until 6pm (Eastern) on Wednesday, March 13th to link-up and join us.
This fortnight at Jingle Belles, we're asking you to make cards that primarily feature Die Cuts... (we'll also allow punches or items cut from electronic cutting machines like Cricut or Silhouette) ... just make sure the dies are front & center in your design.
Here's how we created our Christmas CUTs this week:

Meanwhile, as usual, it was hard to just pick three cards to feature, but here are a few that especially caught our eye:
This week at Jingle Belles we're still creating Text-y cards - cards that prominently feature some TEXT.
Here's how we got TEXT-y with it this week:
Make sure you link-up by 6pm EST on Wednesday for a chance to win a set of Memory Box Celeste Snowflake Trio Dies.
This fortnight's Jingle Belles theme is TEXT ME – create a holiday card that celebrates text.
That might mean using some letter stickers, dictionary pages, texty patterned paper, or just creating a card where the sentiment is the star; but bear in mind that just using a small sentiment doesn't count... text of some kind should be the star of the show.
Get creative with your words and make sure you get TEXTY.
Here are the TEXTs we are sending this week:
