ABC Christmas Challenge - J & K are for?

We have a fun new ABC Christmas Challenge starting today...I'm the host, and the themes are:

'J is for Jingle Bells'
&
'K is for Kraft'

The prize for the lucky winner is these Woodware stamp sets:


For my 'J is for Jingle Bells' card. I used an unbranded bell stamp...heat embossing it using metallic gold embossing powder from WOW on plain black card. I added a sentiment using a stamp from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous, heat embossing it in gold to match, then used one of my circle Nesties to cut it out. For the background, I heat embossed a 'Holly Background' stamp from Kirtsy Wiseman using more gold embossing powder on black card. I matted that onto some gold mirror card, added  it to a white card blank then popped the 'Jingle Bells' on top.


For my 'K is for Kraft' card, I picked one of the bears from the 'Beary Merry Christmas' set by Funky Fossil, and stamped it directly on to a kraft card blank, along with one of the sentiments from the set, then coloured it using watercolour pencils.


I'm also entering these cards into the following challenges:

The Holly and...Well, More Holly!

I have another Christmas card to share today featuring a holly background stamp (by Kirsty Wiseman) that I picked up in the post Christmas sales. I stamped it using Versamark Ink on a a piece of green card, then heat embossed it using 'Sensational Sage' embossing glitter from WOW. I found some snippets of the same card, and heat embossed a sentiment (from the 'Letter It - Christmas' set by Ranger), and a couple of sprigs of holly (from the 'Tattered Christmas' set by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous) using the same embossing glitter...cutting them out using one of my oval Nesties, and the matching 'Tattered Christmas' dies (by Tim Holtz/Sizzix)
