jingle belles: text me!

this week's JINGLE BELLES prompt... (we're already at CARD NINE, can you believe it?!) ...is called "text me"!

this time we're incorporating text, fonts, and typography into our cards. this is one of my favorite things to do anyway, but then miss stephanie--who is a figure of some repute when it comes to sussing out the best sources of online inspiration*--made a whole entire pinterest pinboard full of fabulous ideas and then she found flickr's typography pool and...well...i might've gotten just the teeeeeeeeeeeniest bit carried away, what with all those great ideas swimmin' around in my head!


(patterned paper: love elsie, dcwv, echo park; glossy black cardstock: ranger; snowflake stickers: martha stewart & jolee's; metallic embroidery floss: dmc; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, gluedots; other: vintage metallic ribbon)


so yeah: i've cut letters out of ONE text paper, and i've glued them onto ANOTHER text paper, and i've handstitched around them to make them stand out even more. and then i've added music paper and an extra helping of sparkleee silver. basically, it's a fantasia of FONTS!!! or...well...something. but i like it. :) :) :)

this prompt will last until next wednesday at 6pm; all the details are on the JINGLE BELLES blog, along with stef's gorgeous card, so head on over when you've got a minute to spare!


*if you do not read her "link love" posts every thursday you are MISSING OUT, i tell ya! not that you shouldn't read her blog EVERY day, obviously...but stef is awesome at finding the coolest links around, so thursdays are especially cool, imo! ♥♥♥

    I knew this was a laureny card immediately! The text and letter outline stitching caught my eye. I love that!

    When I finished my iris folding ornament card for Jingle Belles (2 weeks ago), I thought to myself, "this has June Houck written all over it!" It was funny that your comment on that card basically said the same thing, just like this card is another perfect totally Lauren Bergold creation :)
