We’re thrilled to introduce our Artist Spotlight for this month, Jennifer Ingle—known as "Jingle" in the crafting community. With a creative journey spanning years and a passion for card making, Jingle brings her unique style and love for crafting to Picket Fence Studios. Here’s a bit more about her in her own words.
About Jingle
Jennifer Ingle, known as Jingle, has been card making for many years now. She has designed for a variety of companies and had the privilege of being published back in the glory days of magazines. She has a wonderful husband, a five-year-old son who also loves to craft with her, and two pups, Morgan and Wyatt, who may not craft, but they wear stray sequins on their noses with the best of them! Her style leans toward clean and simple, but she loves to venture into other areas as well. She is very excited to be joining Picket Fence Studios for the release this month!

Freckle Friends: Artist Annie
Artist Annie shines in this charming setup, capturing a quiet, creative moment as she paints at her easel. Paired with the Let's Paint Stencil background, the card has an artsy feel that adds depth without distracting from Annie’s focus on her canvas. The soft frame around the scene keeps the look polished and perfectly balances the cheerful tones of her little studio setup. A card like this celebrates creativity in the sweetest way!
Graceful Magnolias Shaker Card
This shaker card is a stunning blend of delicate details and vibrant color. Jingle used the Graceful Magnolias Stamp and Coordinating Dies to feature a beautifully layered magnolia, with its bold blue petals popping against the intricate honeycomb backdrop. The A2 Rectangles and Cover Plate Dies from Beyond Basics: A2 Rectangle and Cover Plate Dies, add a crisp, clean border, framing the shaker elements just right. Filled with Gem Mixes in Thunderstorm and Day and Night, this card combines elegance with a bit of sparkle, giving it an eye-catching, modern touch. It’s a perfect balance of refined design and playful movement!
Vintage Heart
This design is such a creative use of the Vintage Hearts stamp set! Jingle combined the soft, organic textures of the background stamp with layered friend stacked die set to create a bold yet heartfelt look. The friend stacked die set brings dimension and stands out beautifully against the background’s subtle blend of purple tones. It’s a wonderful mix of texture and typography, showing off her eye for detail and thoughtful design.
Beauty Found in a Vase
This black-and-white sympathy card is both elegant and understated, with clean, impactful design. She used the Beauty Found in a Vase stamp set to create a delicate floral arrangement that pairs beautifully with the geometric background from the A2 Basket Weave Die. The contrast between the intricate lines of the vase and the bold weave pattern adds depth without overwhelming the design. Finished with a simple With Sympathy sentiment, this card is a thoughtful and refined way to express condolences.
