Thanks a Latte

Nicole here today with my last post as a design team member for 3 Girl JAM.  I have had the privilege of serving on this design team for almost 2 years now and I have enjoyed every moment of it!!  However, I felt the end of this term was a good time for me to step aside and allow some other talented crafters a chance at working with this fabulous company.  So, with that said, let me share with you a card I made for my post today -

I used one of the newer products to the 3 Girl JAM store - "Simply White Lace" - as a border and then topped it off with a double bow using some Sterling Crinkle Ribbon from the 3 Girl JAM "Celebrations" bundle.  I used my 3 Girl JAM bow maker to create my double bow and then hot glued a snowflake gem to the top of it.  For more details on my card, feel free to visit my BLOG.

Christmas Tags

Nicole here today - two days into December already - the "busy" season is upon us.  I decided to create a few tags to add to my dwindling collection in order to help prepare for Christmas wrapping.  

I "tied" up my tags using some 3 Girl JAM "Natural Jute" ribbon and some red/green striped ribbon from the new 3 Girl JAM "Holiday Trim".  I love how the colors all work together so well.  This cute little elf is a freebie from Whimsie Doodles.  I finished off my tags with a couple of flowers I got from Michaels.  Thanks for stopping by today!!  I hope I have inspired you to use your 3 Girl JAM products to create for the holidays.  Remember to use code NE10 to save 10% off of your purchase from the 3 Girl JAM store.  

one layout - 2 cards

Hello there, Nicole here today to share a couple of cards I made using the same sketch but different themes.

I used a sketch from Mojo Monday to create these cards.  On my Thanksgiving card, I used some Doodlebug "Friendly Forest" paper from the 6x6 pad.  I used cream ribbon from the  3 Girl JAM "Coffee Bundle" for my bow.  The cute little squirrel is from Create a Critter 2.

For my birthday card I used paper from My Mind's Eye "Hip Hip Hooray" and a piece of ephomera from the same collection for my accent.  This time I used some pink ribbon from the 3 Girl JAM "Ribbon Candy Bundle" for my bow.  

For both of my cards I used the 3 Girl JAM "Bow Maker" to make double bows which I glued onto the ribbon that I wrapped around the base layer of my card.

Fall Happy Birthday

Nicole here today with a fall themed birthday card to share with you.  My mom's birthday is coming up this weekend and I wanted to make her a special card :-)  This is a rather large card - 6 inches square but I wanted lots of room for my design and embellishments.

I used some 3 Girl JAM "Halloween Harvest" crinkle ribbon from the Seasons Bundle along with my 3 Girl JAM bow maker to make a double bow.  I inserted a cute stick pin from Little Yellow Bicycle that I have had in my stash for awhile now but I loved how the wood grain went with the colors of my card.  I added a small bow made from the orange diagonal stripe ribbon to my teapot and again used my 3 Girl JAM bow maker to create this before gluing it in place.  

Here is a closeup of my bows -

Thanks for stopping by today.  Feel free to stop by my blog for more details on my card.

Birthday Tags

Hello!!  Nicole here today to share with you a couple of tags I made using some 3 Girl JAM "Summer Sprinkles" crinkle ribbon from "The Seasons" bundle.  I think this is one of my favorite colors from 3 Girl JAM but, of course, I think I say that about every color, LOL!!  I never seem to have enough birthday related items on hand so I have been trying to make something birthday related each week.  For more information on my tags, please stop by my BLOG.

"Smile" - camera box

Nicole here today with a fun project to share with you.  I made this cute camera box for a dear friend of mine and used several 3 Girl JAM products to accessorize it :-)

For the bow on the front of my box I used 3GJ "Gold Crown crinkle ribbon" from the Royal bundle and made a double bow using the 3GJ bow maker.  

On the top of my box I used a new product to the 3 Girl JAM store - diagonal striped ribbon.  I used the orange and made a double bow and glued it to my button.

Nicole here today with a back to school card to share with you.  I used a file from the silhouette store for my card and then embellished it with some of the fun 3 Girl JAM yellow tie dyed ribbon (love this stuff!!).  I used my 3 Girl JAM bow maker to make a double bow and then glued a button from my stash on top.  My card fits in perfectly with this month's challenge - "back to school or something with a writing instrument" - so you can be sure I will be linking my card to the 3 Girl JAM challenge blog.

Have a Happy You Day!!

 Nicole here today and I have a card to share with you for my dt post.   I have been slowly growing my collection of alcohol markers and decided to keep working on my coloring skills - alas it will be a long journey to feel like I am getting anywhere close to the great skills I see out in blogland :-)  I love the color purple and used a few delicious 3 Girl JAM purple products to compliment my image.

My rosette is made with 3GJ "Iris" crinkle ribbon from the Spring Flowers bundle.  I used hot glue and cut a circle out of paper and just pleated the flower around the edges of the circle to create the rosette.  I finished it with a button and some twine from my stash.  Also on my card is some lovely 3GJ "lovely lilac" flower die cut ribbon from the 3GJ flower bundle.

C'est La Vie Mini Album

Hi guys Nicole here today and  I have a mini album to share with you that I made for one of my dance student's graduation gift.  My student is going to France for a year abroad and I thought she could use this as a keepsake album afterwards.  This is only my 2nd ever mini album and I have to say even though they are time consuming, they are lots of fun and I hope to make several more in the near future!!

I used the following 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon colors for my album - daffodil from the Spring Flowers bundle, baby boy from the Baby bundle, and aqua splash from the Carribean Splash bundle. I just fed them through an eyelet and tied them into a big, floppy bow.  I have included a few pictures as well as a video of my album for you to look at.

Canvas Tote Bag with Lace Flower

Nicole here today and I want to share with you a project that I made for one of my daughter's friends birthday present.  We used a plain canvas bag which I pre-washed ( it shrunk a lot and that is why it is still wrinkled in the picture).  I used my Silhouette Studio software to design the name and dancer and then printed that out on Avery Ink Jet T-shirt Transfer paper.  My favorite part of this project though is the gorgeous flower I created using some 3 Girl JAM distressed lace and a 3 Girl JAM vintage button for the center.

For more details on how to re-create my lace flower, please visit my BLOG.  To receive a 10% discount off of your 3 Girl JAM products, please use the code NE10 at the checkout.  Thanks for stopping by today and I hope I have inspired you to make a lace flower!!
