"Stay Cool" Sunglass Bag by Jessica B

HAPPY MONDAY FRIENDS! For my Designer Day here at 3 Girl JAM, I get to show you the fun I had with the Awesome Muslin Bags you can get in the Shop!

I also wanted to stay within the lines of the current 3 Girl JAM Challenge in hopes it will inspire you all to join in the FUN!!! I The Current Challenge is "Summer Fun with Ribbon" I had sprayed some Tim Holtz Color Wash Spray directly on the bag before stamping the cooler.  I wanted to give the bag a bit of a Beach Scene, so the colors are the best I could do with what I had available, to mimic the color of sand and sky.

I used some Ice Blue Crinkle Ribbon between the two colors to look like waves on the beach. The wood veneer shapes are from Creative Embellishments.  I used some Color Wash spray on the Sand Castle and Pail.  For the Sun, I used some Tim Holtz Crackle Paint. The sentiment was stamped on some scraps of Prima paper and fussy cut.  For the cooler, I used my Sakura Gelly Roll Black Pen to outline the black stripes and some White Liquid Pearls on the rest.

This bag makes a great carrying case for your sunglasses and it makes a statement! Thank You for Stopping in today....and don't forget to link up for your chance to win the awesome Gift Certificate Prize at the 3GJ Challenge Blog.

Keep Moving Card....

Hi friends. It's Me Scrappin Madge!

 This super fun card!!! It was a quick and simple card.  I used my kit from Clique Kits May Field Trip kit and a 5x7 card from AC along with some pop dots and of coarse some yummy 

3 Girl JAM ribbon!!! 

Here is my card.

I used the color Ice Blue from the Hot and Cold bundle found {HERE} at the 3 Girl JAM store!! If you don't own any of this awesome ribbon be sure to order yours today!!!! 

I hope that you all enjoyed my card for today! 

You & Me --with Flair!

 

'Tis the Season! Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers hoping you had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and aren't spending today in the stores returning gifts!  You should, however, spend a little time at the 3 Girl JAM Store, checking out the new Flair buttons.  They are SO much fun! And of course, there is scrumptious crinkle ribbon in every color of the rainbow to snatch up, too!

My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary a couple weeks ago.  I made a card for him that used a Real Life Flair Button as the focal point.  What do you think?

 

 

Don't you love that Flair button? I also used Ice Blue ribbon from the Hot & Cold Bundle on this card.  

On the inside of the card, I wrote, "through snow or sleet, our love is complete."  Aw, how mushy is that?

To see more details about this card, please visit my blog.

Happy holidays, everyone!



Happy Turkey Day!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Julie O, here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers today. Since I'm lucky enough to post on Thanksgiving, I knew I had to have some Thanksgiving inspiration for the holiday.  I went searching through the Silhouette online store and found this fun cutting file, perfect for the occasion.

 

 

I used lots of different ribbons on this colorful turkey shaped card-- as you can tell!  Working from right to left, I used Harvest Orange (Harvest Bundle)Witches Brew purple (Spooky Bundle), Baby Blue (Baby Bundle), Hot Chocolate (Hot & Cold Bundle), Merlot (Wine & Jewels Bundle), Aqua Splash (Caribbean Splash Bundle), Coral Crush (Caribbean Splash Bundle), Ice Blue (Hot and cold Bundle), Iris (Spring Flowers Bundle), Cherry Lipstick (Pink & White Bundle) and London Blue (Wine & Jewels bundle).

 To find out more details about this card, and to see what else I've been working on, please visit my blog.

This turkey, and myself, are sending you the best of Thanksgiving wishes!

Dorothy Thank You Card

Happy Labor Day Monday!!  Nicole here, I hope you are having an excellent holiday weekend and are finding some free moments to craft!  I know I have been crafting quite a bit this weekend and one of my projects is this cute Dorothy card that I made for a special thank you.  My youngest daughter was Dorothy in their school play "Ease on Down the Road".  We borrowed a Dorothy costume from a family friend and I wanted a special card to go with the return of her costume.  As you can probably guess, this is something I have needed to do for awhile now since school has been out for months - so it was time to "get 'er done",

I added a bow made with both 3 Girl JAM "Ice Blue" and "Baby Boy" crinkle ribbon.  Thanks for stopping by today - for more details on my card feel free to visit my BLOG.  

Serene Butterfly Copic Card

Hi Everyone! This is Elizabeth from 217 Creations.  I am here today to share some inspiration with my Copic butterfly card.  This card is a 4 by 4 square card.  The image is form Northwoods and it was colored with Copics.  Of course no card is complete without 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon in Ice Blue from the Hot and Cold Bundle. If you want to see more pictures, please visit my personal blog at 217 Creations.  Have a great day!

Silly Birthday Card

Good Morning All You Crafty Gals (and Guys)!

Rebecca here bringing you a cheerful and bright card for someone with a special birthday (that they would most likely enjoy keeping to themselves)!

I very recently returned from vacation and was inspired by all the bright and cheerful colors that dotted the  landscape.  Visiting a heavily populated area, it was interesting to see that so many people had bright summer flowers in little pots hanging outside their apartment windows.  No matter where, we all want a little color to brighten our days.

I made the flower with Ice Blue Crinkle Ribbon, from the Hot & Cold Bundle.  Of course, this time of year, I'm choosing the "Hot", because I'm ready for more summer fun!

Anyway, hope you like my card today and it inspires you to make something bright and beautiful.

Have a wonderful and art-filled weekend!

Baby Shower Card

Hi everyone! This is Elizabeth from 217 Creations.  Today I am sharing a darling baby shower card I made for my friend Sarah.  I always love sharing here at 3 Girl Jam.

The paper is from Echo Park Bundle of Joy.  I did some hand stitching along the border.  But my favorite part is of course the beautiful 3 Girl Jam Ice Blue Crinkle Ribbon.  The color can be bought either in the Jackpot Bundle or the Hot & Cold Bundle. I used the 3 Girl Jam Bow Maker for the ribbon.  It always ties my bows so nicely!

If you want to see more pictures you can visit my personal blog at 217 Creations.  Also make sure you jump over to the the 3 Girl Jam Challenge Blog for a fab challenge! Have a creative day!

Thank You Very Much

I also used:
White cardstock from Georgia Pacific

K. Andrew Designs - Scripture Sayings

January

Good morning.  It has been so cold where I live and snow is a normal appearance.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I hope this post makes you feel warm (instead of cold like the theme).  3 Girl JAM Ice Blue ribbon is great for this project and comes from one of my favorite bundles - at least its one of my favorite ones today.

This is the first month for my new calendar.  I decided I wanted the "Place in Time" collection from Graphic 45 the very first time I saw it.  This collection is gorgeous and Ice Blue ribbon is such a great match.  I also used the following supplies:

DCWV - Neutrals Matstack
Fancy Pants - My Family paper
Close to My Heart - Outdoor Denim ink
Want 2 Scrap - pearls
Prima - Say it in Crystals

Now if you head over to my blog, DJ's Sundries, you can see the second part of the calendar and a video that tells you all the details.

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

Treats That'll Make Your Heart Flutter

Good Morning Everyone!  Rebecca reporting in to show you what I've been up to when I've had a little  down time.

This morning I'm here to get your creative juices going!  It's really getting chilly over here in the North East and a good workout is just what's needed.

A crafty workout, that is.

SOOOOoooOOOO - Let me start with a confession...

I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

And..I need every excuse I can think of to justify buying bags of delicious pink, red, and white package confections.

And I package it up to tempt EVERYONE around me.

Whatcha Think? Good Plan?

I used several a couple different crinkle ribbons on these treats.

ICE BLUE from the Hot and Cold Bundle
GOBLIN GREEN from the Spooky Bundle
BABY BOY from the Baby Bundle

Hope I tempted you into making one for yourself (and then opening it up and EATING it!)

HA!

Have a great day!

Guest Designer: Docerela Creations

This is Carri from DoubleClick and I am super excited to have one of my best blogging buddies be a Guest designer at 3 Girl Jam! Catarina and I have become such good friends, I am blessed to have her in my life!
 
Hi everyone this is Catarina over at Docerela Creations. I want to thank Julie for having me as a guest designer today. 

Carri and I have been blogger friends for over 1 year now. When I first started my blog she was one of the first person to comment on my posts. It was with her that I was given the chance to get to know the blog world a little more. In 2010 I started my stamp line and of course I wanted her on my team. She was always great inspirations to me.  So it didn't take much longer until we become close friends. There is one thing that I can tell you, I can't go on more than 1 day without texting Carri, she has become like a BIG sister.  Thank you Carri for being such a great friend. 

Now onto our post: Here's why I love using 3GJ crinkle ribbon. Not only I use their ribbon for many crafty ideas: like cards and layouts but I used others things too. 

Wedding decor

3GJ - Caribbean splash

Dessert tables:

Gifts: 

 

and of course cards:

Elegant Florals with Jessica B

Hello

3 Girl JAMmers

Jessica B here with you today for my Design Team Day.  I love that I get to share another project with you that I made using the fantastic products available at 3 Girl JAM.

There are so many  wonderful reasons why I LOVE the 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon.
It is awesome to work with.  Not only  does it make a perfect accent on your cards and layouts when you tie it into a bow, use it across the edges, or pleat it to make a border, but I have to say, my favorite thing to create with Crinkle Ribbon is Elegant Florals!


Recently, I had a prize winner who stated her favorite color is ORANGE.  So her entire prize was made with that in mind:

including this Orange-a-liscious Loop de Loop

Made with Harvest Orange and Antique White Crinkle Ribbon

You may recall seeing a few other projects in the past over at Jessica's Craft Shaque
that included these gorgeous blossoms!

Here's a quick recap to inspire you and hopefully invigorate your senses!
I will share the name of each Elegant Floral Style (EF) above each of the project pictures

Loop de Loop

 Mini Bow

Sweet Swirl

Pleated  Petals EF

Wise Whispers

 

Stop over to the 3 Girl JAM Store
