Popular Curvy Blue Jingle Bell Card

The card I'm sharing today was the most popular original card of mine in 2020. Since I'm revisiting some great ideas for Christmas in July, I knew I had to share this again with you!

This card features the Curvy Christmas stamp set and Curvy Dies. I just LOVE how this Christmas card turned out! It was very easy to make. The addition of the Sounds of the Seasons Dies, Silver and Navy Foil, and Feels Like Frost 6x6 Designer Series Paper (DSP) Stack all comes together in one stunning card you too can create!

HOT TIP #1: Use a 1-1/2" x 6" piece of silver foil, so after you use the Curvy Die you are able to line up the silver foil on the edge of the Feels Like Frost DSP, and trim off the excess once you have adhered the foil to the DSP.

HOT TIP#2: Be sure to use a sticky lint tape roller brush to pick up all the little cut out dots on your workspace and die cut machine.

A close up to admire the beautiful bell die with the Metallic Mesh Ribbon Bow. That ribbon is so soft and supple. I folded the ribbon in half to thread through the top loop of the bell die. Tying it is a dream!

HOT TIP #3: After you die cut the bell, carefully flip it over keeping the holly leaves intact and scotch tape over the back of the bell to hold them in place.

Here's a peek of the inside of the card using a smaller bell die and a 1/2" strip of the Feels Like Frost DSP. This is a great way to finish off a card with a little extra pizzazz!

Maybe this inspiration will be enough to encourage you to make you own Christmas cards this year! They are fun to do and gives you such a sense of accomplishment!

Have a lovely day!

Jingle Bells and Angel Wings

Here's the last of the three card designs I made with the Christmas Means More stamp set. I think this one is my favorite due to the shiny foil bells and the silver glimmer paper balanced with the red ink and red striped paper. Don't you love it too? It's just so sparkly!

One little hint to know: When you die cut out the foil bells, those holly pieces are also cut out, so if you are very, very careful, turn the foil over and put a piece of scotch tape to hold them in place. I like the look of them just appearing to be embossed.

Let's Create this Card!

1) Whisper White cardbase - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4".

2) Retired Let It Snow Designer Series Paper - 4" x 5-1/4" adhere to card front.

3) Thick Whisper White - 2-1/2" x 5-1/4", stamp image in Real Red ink.

4) Retired Silver Glimmer Paper - two strips cut 3/4" x 5-1/4" then adhered to the back of the thick Whisper White.

5) Die cut Red and Silver Foil bells using the Sounds of the Season Dies and your die cutting machine. Scotch tape the holly pieces per the hint above.

6) Cut a 4" piece of the 3/8" Real Red Sheer Ribbon and thread it through both tops of the bells. Then affix the bells with dimensionals. Make sure the ribbon is folded in half and folded over the back of this thick layer. Affix with scotch tape.

7) Use Dimensionals to raise up this thick layer on card front. Tie bow and affix at top of bells with glue dots.

Using Felt Strips

Here's a fun card to make. Sometimes you just need inspiration from the catalog and that's what I did with this card. I CASEd the Aug.- Dec. 2020 Mini Catalog, on page 29!

It wasn't hard at all to work with the felt to give the card some texture and dimension. You will like it. You can cut it on your paper trimmer to give you a line, to then cut completely through with your scissors. It's not hard at all.

Cutting Sizes:

Crumb Cake cardbase - 5-1/2" x 8- 1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Crumb Cake subtle embossing folder layer - 4" x 5-1/4"

Thick Whisper White - 3-3/4" x 2-3/4"

Shaded Spruce 1" x 5"

Just Jade 3/4" x 5"

Gold Foil - 3/4" x 4-1/4"
