Florida style by Marji

I added sequins and some fimo summer shapes to the shaker box.

I used my gorgeous 3 Girl Jam ribbon and die cut lace.  I love these colors together.

This month's special ribbon is 

Hot & Cold Bundle

on my project I used

Ballerina Hugs

Welcome, crafty friends!  Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers, posting for my favorite ribbon company in the whole world!   

I recently discovered a new digi stamp artist, Julia Spiri. I used the digi stamp, Little Ballerina, and colored her with Copic markers.  I used cutting dies by Die-namics and Paper Wishes.

The tie dye ribbon is from 3 Girl JAM.  This is Tie Dye Green from the original Tie Dye Bundle.  I enjoy pleating it the length of a card, using double sided tape.  

There's a special this month at 3 Girl JAM.  You can grab the Caribbean Splash Bundle for only $1 with purchase of any other item using code August.  Or, for 10% off of your entire order, use discount code JO10.

Happy Thursday, crafty friends!  Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I used 2 of my favorite products on a card -- distressed lace, and crinkle ribbon. 

I'm needing quite a few thank you cards since my father-in-law died last week.  This is one I sent as a thank you:

I cut the card out on my Silhouette, using a file from the Silhouette Design Store.  You can find it here.  All the papers were from my scraps -- I'm making a concerted effort to use some of them.  The sentiment is a die from Lawn Fawn. 

There's some of the beautiful distressed lace across the middle of this card, and then some 3 Girl JAM  crinkle ribbon from the original Tie Dye Bundle. 

Visit the 3 Girl JAM Store and use code JO10 to save 10% off your order.  Or, use code APRIL to get the Spring Flowers bundle for just $1 with any purchase from the 3 Girl JAM Store.

Don't forget about the Anything Goes with ribbon challenge happening all month at the 3 Girl JAM Challenge blog. 

Hang on -- it's almost the weekend!

Layer it UP!

Happy Thursday, fellow ribbon lovers!  It's Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I love any opportunity to showcase my favorite ribbons and lace!

Today's card is soft, pretty, and layered with lace and ribbon.

The image on this card is from Aurora Wings.  I love coloring roses, and this one was a joy.  The designer papers used on this card are "Always and Forever" 6x6 papers from Wild Rose Studio.

I used 2 different laces from the Distressed Lace Bundle.  The crinkle ribbon is from the Tie Dye Bundle.  A little lace and ribbon make this card look so feminine. 

Need some beautiful lace and ribbon for yourself?  Use discount code JO10 for 10% off of anything in the 3 Girl JAM Store!

Face the Sunshine

Karen N here from Craftily Yours sharing a card I made for a friend who has had quite a bit of emotional upset in her life recently.  I wanted to let her know that there are people out there who care.  We all should know that, right?

I used some Tie Dye Blue Crinkle Ribbon, some blue Distressed Lace, Basic Grey Serenade paper and a Unity Stamp Company image/sentiment to make this card for her.

I love the sentiment, and the 3 Girl JAM ribbon and lace were perfect, don't ya think?

Some fun news...  Did YOU know that YOU can save 10% off your entire 3 Girl JAM purchase with check-out code KN10?  WoWzers.

Craftily yours,

Karen

Elegant butterfly by Marji

 This is a file I found on the SIL site.  I used papers from CTMH.  I really love the new tie died ribbons, so bright and so pretty.  I know it's not a perfect match but I like the contrast it adds to the card.

I used foam tape between each layer of the butterflies wings to keep them separated.

 I used my bow maker to create the tiny bow for the butterfly, that is the best tool, if you don't have one yet, click below and GET ONE! 

Never ending card by Marji

I made a never ending card for today.  I used papers from CTMH and the file from the SIL store, talk about easy, lol, I let my machine to all the cutting and all I had to do was glue and embellish.

 This is one of my favorite papers, I love the birds and the colors are so pretty together.  I have a hard time throwing scraps away so I put them to use on this card, the little ribbon "bow" at the top are 3 scraps. I used glue dots to attach them together then added a pearl to the center.  

I used our new flower die cut ribbon across the bottom.

 Fun right?  I added pearls and gems through out along with some stamping.  ( I actually inked up some stamps!)

 Now that I have this cutting file, I see myself making more of these cards, no measuring or calculating.  And using double sided paper made it even easier.

Pretty little plant by Marji

 Hello there, I'm sharing a really exciting project, I saw this in the SIL store and knew it would be fun.

I used the beautiful new tie die ribbons

I tied loose knots and put them in the center of the plants.

 I used the yellow and the green together to tie a bow around the pot.

 I totally love how this turned out.  I'm pretty sure I will be making some of these as gifts for some people I love.

Mini Message Boards

Good morning.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I hope you are having a wonderful day and enjoyed a good weekend.  I was so inspired by Scrappin' Abby's Memo Board last week that I wanted to make some of my own.  I decided to use some great 3 Girl JAM ribbon to make them just my style.

The new Flair and Flower Bundle were just what I needed to make my little boards.  All I had to do was add some extra ribbon from the new Tie Dye 1 and Tie Dye 2 bundles to make them perfect for my treasures.

I started out by purchasing some cork tiles from my local Joann's store.  These were 12 inch tiles, but I wanted circles.

So I set up the Art Philosophy cartridge to cut a circle to use as a pattern.  Using fit-to-page, I was able to create a pattern to use to cut my circles.  I then took some muslin to cover the cork by using hot glue to adhere it to the back.  Next came the fabulous flower ribbon for decoration and a hanger.  I decided to do each one a little differently for more variety.

Using ribbon from each Tie Dye bundle, I made little bows to adhere to the front.  Flair finished off the center of each bow perfectly.  If you look close, you can see that I used Picked Raspberry, Mowed Lawn, and Dusty Concord Distress Inks around the outer edges to add a little punch of color.  Each one was finished by adding a piece of card stock to the back of each to hide all the fabric and ribbon edges.

I now have the perfect place to add my treasures using my collection of stick pins.  This was actually a pretty simple project and I can't wait to get them all hung and filled.

If you are interested in a video that may give a better view, head on over to DJ's Sundries.  In the meantime, be sure to pick up your own ribbon and flair in the 3 Girl JAM store.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Altered Tag using the NEW PRODUCTS at 3 Girl JAM - DT Jessica

HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS!

For my Designer Day with 3 Girl JAM, I am happy to share some of the fabulous NEW PRODUCTS available at 3 Girl JAM with all of you today!  I will be linking up at the 3GJ Challenge Blog and hope you will join the Current 3 Girl JAM Challenge - ANYTHING GOES with Ribbon 

This tag was created in a matter of minutes and I didn't feel the need to add to much to it, since the wonderful New Products did a great job on their own!

First you will see some of the NEW Texture Ribbon Flower Bundle used.  

I had already misted this tag a few weeks ago and had it sitting on my table to create with.  
I opted to use the Pink Flower Texture Ribbon on the top and bottom of the tag.

The NEW Tie Dye Crinkle Ribbon Bundles are CUTE, CUTE, CUTE.  

I used  both of the colors from Tie Dye Bundle 1 - GREEN & BLUE 

and I used the Yellow from 
Tie Die Bundle 2 - PINK & YELLOW

to create petals on my flower and tied some through the opening on the top of my tag.

I simply twisted small loops, and used another NEW Product for the center.
I used one of the NEW Flair Buttons from the KEEP CALM FLAIR SET

The only thing I added was a stem on my flower using my Spectrum Noir marker
and
I stamped a Butterfly stamp from Unity Stamp Co. with some ColorBox ink pads.

Voila'....Super Sweet and Super Fast!
