Snow Far, Snow Good

Having been blown away by the *BLIZZARD* of creativity our lovely fellow ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ have let loose this fortnight for "Let the Flakes Fall Where They May" we had a really hard time choosing just a few cards to feature; but here are three snow-centric beauties that especially melted our hearts:

Jane Willis of Onions and Paper

...found sparkly snowflake stickers, super-fun snowflake tags and beautiful snowflake ribbon, which all add up to a card that's fabulously flake-y!

Lola of Little Card Maker

...combined a very handsome snow man stamp with a gorgeous paint chip and some super-skinny black mats that make the whole thing pop!

Helen of Helen's Craft Haven

...watercolored and stamped the prettiest snowscape imaginable; no wonder it's inhabited by irresistibly cute critters!

Many thanks to everyone who played along, we LOVE to see what you will make! Please join us in expressing our gratitude to the lovely and talented Leslie Turner for coming up with this great idea in the first place, then coming along with her gorgeously inspiring cards! We'll be back at midnight with a brand new prompt that we hope will see you through the next creative fortnight! ♥

STUCK on You!

What fun sticker-fabulous creations we had in the gallery for this prompt.  Here are a few of our favorites:

Marianne from

Marianne's Cards 'n Stuff

turned ink and vellum into a magical background for her gorgeous snowflake sentiment ...

CAS at its finest.

Celeste of Crafting Junky

stole our heart with this row of fun little snowman stickers ... we love the dimension

and how her bold sentiment pops against the pretty striped sky.

Bobbi of Bobbi's Treasure

took a simple sentiment sticker and made it into the star of the show

with fantastic designer paper and wonderful ribbon.

Stick With Us

We're still getting *stick*y this week with lots of stickers ... search through your stash and see how create you can be with your stickers.  Remember, you have until Wednesday, February 1st at 6pm EST to link-up.

Here's what we made this week.

Lauren's Other Card

Lauren says, "I love these adorable Santa and Mrs. Claus stickers from Doodlebug Design, so I was pretty excited to make them the stars of this week's card. I combined them with (mostly older) papers from a bunch of different companies and a print-at-home Jenni Bowlin holiday bingo card, using the awesome current sketch from Sketch Saturday."

Stephanie's Other Card

Stephanie says, "I picked-up a sheet of cardstock stickers at Hobby Lobby this week in one of my favorite holiday color combinations.  Since I already had the coordinating cardstock, I went ahead and made two more cards you can see at my blog.  I love how stickers can help cards come together so quickly (and they're all mailable without extra postage)."

STICK-y & Sweet

We're getting all STICK-y and Sweet this week ... which means we're creating cards that feature at least one STICKER ... or perhaps many more!

Stickers were my (Stephanie's) first love when I discovered card making almost 20 years ago, and I still have quite a stash today (and I'm sure you do too).  Perhaps break out your oldest stickers ... or ones you just picked-up on Christmas clearance ... just use some stickers in your design.

Here's what we created:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "Penny Black Stickeroos are my absolutely favorite and I have a rather (ahem) large collection of them.  I decided to use the oldest sticker in the bunch ... Snowflakes Falling from 2007 with the layout from Sketch Saturday.  These stickers are so awesome, the card almost makes itself (and since it was so easy to assemble, I made three more on my blog and used the entire set of stickers)."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "I went with the "perhaps many more" strategy, lol. I've got three beautiful (ancient!) baubles from the late, great Hambly Screen Prints and four-- count 'em four-- different, layered, border stickers! Luckily I had the latest Atlantic Hearts sketch to tell me exactly where to place them!"

So after you've completed your sticker sensation, make sure you link-it-up at below before Wednesday, February 1st at 6pm EST .  Keyword for our Flickr Gallery (and others) is JB:17:02
