Guest Designer Millie!

Good day to all my bloggie friends!
It's Migdalia from Crafting with Creative M.

It's truly an honor to be invited again as a Guest Designer



For my project I made little treat bags for a 4th of July gathering that I will be attending.
 I started with the (3x4) Cotton Muslin Bags.
I decorated each of my bags with the Navy Blue & Mistletoe Crinkle Ribbon. 
Such Gorgeous colors!! 
I added a star from a star die and a patriotic rosette badge from Recollections.
I added a tiny rhinestone to the stars and used the perfect sentiment "Celebrate".

Here is a closer look at the Mistletoe Crinkle Ribbon 

Here is a closer look at the Navy Blue Crinkle Ribbon 

Thank you so much to the 3GirlJAM Design Team for inviting me back. 

I hope you will play along over at the challenge blog this month.

sequined muslin bag

Raechelle here. Adding some wow factor and zing to a muslsin bag is fun and easy!

I began with a 3x4 muslin bag (note: this particular bag I used did not come from 3GJ , however there are several sizes available to purchase at the 3GJ store).

I then machine stitched some of the beautiful Mint Crinkle Ribbon from the Tie Dye 3 bundle around the op of the bag, ensuring that I did not stitch over any of the drawstrings.

Next I cut three different lenghts of the mint crinkle ribbon and stitched them one at a time on top of each other to created the bunched ribbon effect.

Then I adhered the sequins using craft glue and finished off with some felt flowers.

Head on over to the 3 Girl Jam store to pick up some muslin bags and ribbon to create your very own bag. You can use the code RB10 to receive 10% off your entire order or you can use the code APRIL to get the Spring Flowers bundle for just $1 with any purchase from the 3 Girl Jam store.

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and today I'll be sharing an altered Muslin Bagthat I made for a special friend of mine.

I also have a video that shows you the project up close along with the FAB 3GJ products that I used...

3 Girl JAM products you'll see on this project...

5x7 Muslin Bag

Distressed Lace

Caribbean Splash (Aqua Splash)

Spring Flowers Bundle (Daffodil)

Now for the altered muslin bag....

I wanted to create a unique & pretty bag that I'm using for a RAK for a good friend of mine. The muslin bags are so fun to alter and they "play nice" with sprays and other mediums. I created a flower using the Distress lace and added bits of the crinkle ribbon around my flower cluster. 

I can't wait to send this to my friend and I'm hoping she will love the bag as much as the goodies that are going inside. If you haven't played with the muslin bags from 3GJ, be sure to head to the 3GJ Shop and pick some up. While you're there be sure to grab some crinkle ribbon and Distress Lace as well.

"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.

Guest Designer Cara from A Lady and Her Crafts

Hello everyone.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I am so excited to be introducing this week's Guest Designer, Cara, from "A Lady and Her Crafts".  I actually first found her on YouTube.  She makes amazing videos and I have followed her on YouTube for a long time.  You should really check her out on YouTube by clicking here.  Her sparkling personality is paralleled with her amazing crafting ability.  So without further ado...

In Cara's own words:

Here in Alaska the snow is finally starting to melt…things are starting to perk up and get green. I think that's why I was drawn to the beautiful green seam binding…I am so ready for SPRING! So the first thing I did was to alter the adorable muslin bags I received….here they are:

Here's a close up:

The supplies for this project were: seam binding and muslin bag (3 Girl Jam) sequins (Pretty Pink Posh), Jet Black Archival Ink (Ranger), Glossy Accents (Ranger), Love Deeply sentiment stamp from Group Hugs stamp set (Paper Smooches), Simplicity sentiment stamp from New Day stamp set (Precious Remembrance Shop), both dress stamps by Inkadinkado and Moon Shadow Mist (Lindy's Stamp Gang). Whew!

Next I made some thank you tags which included my first attempt at a shaker box. 

Here they are:

And here's another close-up.

The supplies for this project were: green seam binding (love, love, love it) from (3 Girl Jam), Dear Lizzy Neapolitan pattern paper (American Crafts), sequins (Pretty Pink Posh), Love Quotes & Filigree stamp sets (Mama Elephant), Jet Black Archival Ink (Ranger), Foam Tape (Scotch), Wood Veneer Stars (Studio Calico) and various Copic markers. 

I also posted a video to my YT channel (AKCaraboo) which shows not only these projects but the other goodies I received from 3 Girl Jam.

Tooth fairy pouch by Marji

I am so hooked on the rainbow loom things.  I am having fun challenging myself with the different things on you tube.

So much more fun than 1,000 bracelets.

So I used a cute muslin bag, painted it with some pink shimmer paint then hot glued my pieces to the bag.

 These tutorials are by MarloomZ Creations

 I love this one, lol, makes me giggle.

Pretty Valentine Treat bag by Marji

I used 3 different colors of alcohol ink bottles and just dropped them randomly over the dry bag.  I then soaked the bag with alcohol and rolled it up, squeezing it all over to help distribute the color a bit.  After about an hour I rinsed it out then laid it out to dry over night.

 The next day I got out one of my My Favorite Things stamp sets and some regular dye based ink pads and stamped away.

 I used hot glue to adhere the lace flowers to the bag as well as add the pearl centers.

Are you curious what I will do with it?  It contains Emily's Valentines day treats.  It holds a lot, she will be thrilled! 

 Isn't it pretty?  I SO love how it turned out, I'm proud of myself, I have been really intimidated by these bags and have gotten rid of quite a few over the years because I never knew what to do.

Just a Little Sweeter

Hey there and Happy FRIDAY!  

Donna K here with my very first post as a 2014 Design Team member 

right here on the 3 Girl JAM blog!

I'm pretty excited about the chance to show you one of the brand new treasures that you will soon be able to get your crafty little hands on.  

How do you love that wide lace ribbon?…..Seriously…. I swoon!!!  

I layered that gorgeous lace ribbon {it's approximately 2" wide!} with some fabulous crinkle ribbon and wound it around as the band for my double Z fold card to hold it in place.

The inside is stamped with my sentiment and I will probably just sign my name to this one..I think this card is just right as is.

Along with the card…

 A muslin bag all dressed up and filled with chocolates …

a simple, SWEET Valentine.  

You can find the bags…and the ribbons {new items coming SOON} and a wonderful selection of buttons right here!

If you're already in the mood for shopping…be sure to use the code DB10 at the check out, that little tidbit will save you 10% in the 3GirlJAM shop!

Thanks for letting me share with you today.

Brown Paper Bag and Coffee Filter ~~~GIFT BAG~~~

Hey there Blends and 3 Girl JAM-mers

Jessica B, here today
for my Design Team Day and 

I am sharing a fun little tutorial on
how to turn a simple coffee filter
and brown paper lunch bag
into a Marvelous Gift Bag
with the help of some
3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon
and
other products.

If you are up to creating something amazing
and plan to use Ribbon,
you should LINK UP to the
Current 3 Girl JAM Challenge
taking place NOW . . .
ANYTHING GOES WITH RIBBON

Now, onto the project sharing ;) . . .

I made this Get Well Bag a while ago

when my Sweet Friend Forever (SFF), Heather Lynn
was not doing so well and
was making many trips to the Hospital.
She was very ill and I just wanted to do something
to brighten her days!

First I stamped the Brown Bag using
this beautiful Wishing Well and Sentiment Stamp Duo by SweetStamps
and some Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink.

Next I took my coffee filter and gave it a good "wrinkle up".
As it was balled up (with zero uniform....lol), I lightly dabbed
parts of it in an array of Fall Colored Distress Inks.  I
turned the filter inside out and wrinkled it up a few more times,
following the same steps with each color of ink.

After the inking was done, I folded it into a cone shape
and trimmed the ends (roughly, and again without uniform)
using my zig zag shears.

After placing the gift inside the bag, I folded the paper bag
down a few times, then placed the coffee filter
over the top and used Glue Dots to hold it in place.

To accent the bright colors on my filter, I chose to use
Hot Chocolate Crinkle Ribbon
from the Hot & Cold Bundle
 and tied it in a knot with two tails of ribbon dangling.

The small flower adorning the ribbon
is from the Pinque Peacock Shop.

This is a quick and easy way to create

a unique and personal gift bag for any occasion.

Now, before you leave, I want to share another quick project
I created over the weekend.

I used one of the darling Muslin Bags
by Stateline Bag Co., which you can purchase
at the 3 Girl JAM Shop as well!!!

So, if you need any ideas
on how to create something fun and unique,
using these fun bags,
peek around the Blog while you are HERE,
or
visit the 3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog for ideas,

or
you can check out
the 3 Girl JAM Pinterest Boards!


Here is my other project:

You can find more details of how
it was created by visiting my personal Blog:
