It started off as a card with a Diamond Wallpaper stamped background, and then it went in a different direction. I'm not sure which I saw first, the Jingle Bells or found the Christmas Tree stamp when I was foraging for small images. After I stamped the diamonds, I added the Christmas Trees from Places Please and embossed them with Zing Green Glitter Finish Embossing Powder. I stitched the small jingle bells in the center of the diamonds on the left.
Then I needed a crest for my "Alarmed by Jingle" logo, so I wrestled with Cricut Craft Room (I'm in the Gypsy camp) and my Imagine and welded two Crests together from Fontopia. I used the Text Box to make the slogan (Art Nouveau Font 2). I just printed the text on one layer, then print and cut the crest and its topper on the second layer. Then I blinged it up with a glue pen and red embossing tinsel over the "Jingle", covered the "Alarmed by with a Sakura Clearstar Pen, and outlined the crest and its elements with Ruby Slippers Pure Glitz.
I used a piece of Step Flashing (that I bought to make message boards a la Green Bean). Attached some paper from K&Company to the flashing, Corner Chomped the corners, used my Crop-a-Dile to punch holes, added the large jingle bells and ribbon.
