Hello and welcome to the first Jingle Belles post of 2025 in which @smilynstef and I are asking you to create a holiday card that features Something OLD and Something NEW. For example, combine an item (or two) that you've had in your stash for some time with some of the new goodies that Santa brought you for Christmas; or maybe... like me... you were your own Santa and you shopped those Black Friday sales and bought it yourself. Be sure to tell us what your OLD and NEW items are in your blog or social media post!
I treated myself to Simon Hurley's Sketched Snowmen Stamp Set just after the 2024 JB season wrapped up, so of course it was the NEW thing I was dying to use. For my OLD selections I've pulled out my White Ranger Embossing Powder and all my favorite blue Distress Inks to make an "old favorite" technique of emboss/resist; used my ancient Nestabilities frame dies and some tiny Eyelet Outlet 1/16" Round Brads from years ago to hold the sentiment. There's some glittery Frosted Lace Stickles on the torn paper snow, as well, which didn't show up in the photo but is nicely sparkly IRL
Head on over to Jingle Belles to see Stephanie's beautiful card and start planning what you'll link up with us this time. JB2501: Something Old... Something New will run until the evening of January 15th.
