And now a twofer - a variation on yesterday's card. I used a different color combo of bells from yesterday (I had cut all three sizes of bells in three colors to mix and match). Which combo do you prefer? I also added a second set of pine branches - I like this fuller look. And I squeezed a sentiment on - thought this Keep Calm and Jingle On was a fitting one.

So - the frustrating washer story: My washer developed a leak last summer so I spent the summer going to the laundromat (kinda fun; I met some nice people). Didn't want to deal with getting a new washer because I wasn't home that much then. So this summer, I decide to deal with it and bought a fancy new Speed Queen. The installers set it on a wash cycle to get the box dust out of it and headed out. Wasn't 5 minutes in and the washer was leaking - yikes! Called them and they took it away. A different new one should arrive today. Keep Calm and Jingle on indeed!!
That's it for today, friends - have a calm and crafty day!! Thanks for stopping by!

The washer situation sounds super frustrating!
As for those cards - stunning! Great backgrounds and the shiny ornaments are fabulous!
two more really cute cards - and looking forward to getting my jingle on when my bells arrive!!
Love all your Bell cards Linda..that's a great die set and I like both colour combos.... the quilted background is fabulous too -- Glad you got that washing machine sorted and hope you're all settled back at home now... hugs and stay safe Robyn
These are stunners, Linda - love everything about them! We had washer adventures this year too!
another fabulous set of cards, linda! you are really giving those bells a work out, lol!
Another pretty card with your metallic bell. Thanks, again Linda for joining us at CAS Christmas.
LOVE both your bell cards Linda! Both are CAS and yet so full of detail!! I'm loving that embossed background too! Thanks so much for sharing these beauties with us at CAS Christmas and I sure hope the washing machine ordeal gets straightened out!! :0)
two stunning cards Linda. Amazing use of the bells.
LOVE your first card with the large red bell. So pretty! And a great dry embossed design in the background, Linda. Your second card is so pretty ... I know it's the same as your last one except the colours of bells have moved, but it does look different. Just goes to show that changing up one element makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! xx
another great card Linda, isn't it great when you have enough to make two cards. Love the texture of your background and that beautiful bell hanging from your greenery. Thanks for playing along with CAS Christmas :)
Both bell cards are fabulous, Linda! The shiny red bell is so pretty and I love the embossed background. The second card, as you say, has a fuller look and fun. The stitched plaid cover die background adds so much interest in a subtle tone-on-tone way. Thank you so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!

Two really gorgeous cards, Linda! Your bells are so striking and I love how you added texture to your design with the cover plate! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Christmas!
They just don't make 'em like they used to! Hope you get a working machine soon! Gotta say, all your bell cards are some of my favorites! Love your cards, Linda!
