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.

Baby Name Board

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I have a super cute baby shower project to share with all of you. I was asked to create a baby name board for an upcoming baby shower. What makes this so cute is the yummy Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl JAM .

For this project I pulled from the Celebrations Bundle and used the Sterling crinkle ribbon....

I tied some of the Sterling crinkle ribbon to a few of the letters for a soft touch (sorry I didn't know the photos were slightly crooked until I already mailed the project)

I love using the fabulous crinkle ribbons from 3GJ on all kinds of projects!

Thanks for stopping by the 3GJ blog today and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. 

Happy Crafting!!

Sorry For Your Loss

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and I have a project to share with all of you that's on a personal level for me this week. My brother-in-law's mom passed away this past weekend. I have known her for over half of my life and it's been a real loss to the family to be sure. 

I created a sympathy card that I'm giving to my sister and her husband this week. 

I also created a short video that shows you the card up close...

Here are the 3GJ Crinkle Ribbons I used on this card... 

Gold Crown from the Royal Bundle 

Sterling from the Celebrations Bundle

I think combining the two Crinkle Ribbons from the two different bundles really made this card look elegant despite the sad reason for it's purpose. 

Please be sure to stop by the 3 Girl JAM store and pick up some of the fab 3GJ goodies for yourself. Don't forget to use Discount Code: AH10 to get 10% off your entire order. 

Thanks for stopping by the 3GJ blog today. 

Happy Crafting!!

Guest Designer: Laura Beth Buchl

I'm super honored to be announcing today's guest designer, Laura Beth Buchl.  Around blogland and Facebook, most people know her as LB or Caffeinated Scrapper LB.  I've seen this lady's work for a few years now as we are both part of a beautiful online community of scrappy, crafty, supportive women.  She has this eye for making creations elegant, clean and cool, and her post today certainly falls into that fabulous category!

*****

My name is Laura Beth but all my friends and family call me LB. I can not tell you how thrilled I am to have be asked to be a guest designer. Every since Julie O. sent me ribbon as a prize for a blog hop I have been hooked. I am a fairly simple card maker and scrapbooker but when you add a little 3 Girl JAM ribbon to a project it just gives it that little bit of extra something. Now a little about me. I love strong coffee with half and half, no half and half, skim latte please. I have a husband that is laid back to balance me out. He not only puts up with me but loves me as we have been together for over 20 years. I am a medical speech pathologist by training. However I have 3 kids so now I spend my days driving my hot minivan, going to baseball games, gymnastic meets and occasionally cleaning my house. I would love for you to check out my blog and leave a comment. I am giving away a prize(or two). If you leave a comment, you will automatically be entered. The deadline with be Monday, May 19, 2014 at 9 a.m. CT. Here is my link:  http://lifeofacaffeinatedmom.blogspot.com/2014/05/ransom-note.html

"Calm" Tag

Good morning everyone.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I have a tag to share with you today.

Have you tried the new lace in the 3 Girl JAM store?  It comes in 2 different varieties and is so pretty that I had to use some from the Light and Bright pack on these tags.  I also used some Sterling from the Celebrations pack.  A few different techniques were used to create layers on this tag.  Layering can add so much dimension without bulking up a project.

There is an explanation for the title of this tag as well as a video over on my blog, so just click here to be taken directly to the post on my blog.  I also have a complete supply list over there.

Have you checked out the new challenge over on the 3GJ Challenge Blog?  Things I Love is the theme and you should come and play along.

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

Winter Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!!

We are so glad that you are joining 3 Girl JAM and our friends at Pretty Papers, Pretty Ribbons for our Winter Blog Hop!  

You should have made it here from Gloria's Blog.  If you just happened to stop by, make sure to start at PPPR so you don't miss out on any of the fun!

Winter is not my favorite season.  In Iowa it is cold and snows ALOT!

The snow however is very pretty somedays- and the cold is a great excuse to stay inside and snuggle up and watch movies- or better yet- Craft!

We've had lots of snow lately- so when I saw the PPPR Heart Balloon and the Winter Wonderland files I knew exactly what I wanted to make.

 It's a Snowflake Hot Air Balloon to take me to somewhere warm!

I also used some 3Girl JAM Sterling Crinkle Ribbon and some NEW Hand Dyed Lace (that will be in the store very soon)!

I've also been really sick lately.  I am feeling much better now- but I went through a lot of tissues last week!

PPPR Get Well Cut File, 3GJ 5"x7" Cotton Bag

I made this so I can give it to the next person I know that gets sick.

Something to brighten their day!

Now-- to brighten your day:

We are offering a $20.00 3 Girl JAM Gift Certificate to one lucky person.

Pretty Papers, Pretty Ribbons is giving away a $20.00 gift certificate to their store too!

Just make sure to comment on everyone's stop along the Hop!

For extra entries- make sure to stop by our Facebook Page and the Pretty Papers, Pretty Ribbons Facebook Page.  "Like" us both and leave us some love on our walls.

You've reached the end of the Hop.  Thank you for spending a little bit of your day with us.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pretty Purple Gift Bag

Good morning.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I trust you are having a great day.

A good friend recently celebrated her birthday and I wanted to give her a little something.  I decided to take some time and make a special gift bag for her.  Her favorite color is purple, so I thought I could decorate a bag just to suit her.  A little Sterling 3 Girl JAM ribbon was the perfect accent for the purple paint.  My friend told me she loved it and that makes me happy.

I also used the following products:

Kraft paper bag (a yard sale find)

Creative Inspirations paint - Plum

Heidi Swapp mask

"Made with love charm" (from my stash)

Recollections heart punch

(to punch the holes in the top of the bag)

Rose from The Paper Studio

Scor-Tape - 1/4"

If you would like to see a video tutorial on how I altered this bag, please head over to DJ's Sundries by clicking here.

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

~~ Live Each Moment ~~ with jessica b

Well, Hi There 3 Girl JAMmers

Jessica B here with a Tuesday Project to  share with ALL of YOU!!!

I was so happy to get back into crafting mode after a VERY LONG time away from sharing some projects.  I created a card using a St. Patrick's Day color scheme and some fun other  elements.

I started with a 4.25" x 4.25" black card base.  I cut two Persian Motifs from my Spellbinders  set.  The largest motif,  green polka dot pattern paper, is from the amy tangerine - Sketchbook paper pad.   The smaller green motif, is from Core' Produce Green card stock.  I cut a black circle using my 2" circle punch to place behind the smaller motif.  The sentiments are from a Unity KOM , and were fussy cut after stamping on white card stock.   I used lots of foam squares for dimension.

 Because I like to stick with things that make me smile....of course there is some 3 G irl JAM Crinkle Ribbon on my card.  The small bow was made using my Bow Maker and Sterling Crinkle Ribbon (Celebrations Bundle).

But, that's not all....

The Flair Button in the center of my card is also from 3  Girl JAM.

It is from of the Christmas Flair Set 

(psssttt... which is in the shop for only $2.99 right now)

. . . and look, on a card in February....WHOOP...SCORE...BONUS!!!!

I am glad to be back and hope you feel inspired by my card today!

Feel free to swing by my Personal Blog and peek around.  I haven't posted a lot lately, but

there is sure to be some fun stuff that you may not have seen yet!

Keep Crafting

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

I'm a Sketch

Happy Monday All Gloria here from Oma's Crafts!

I hope you all are having a great start to 2013. I am praying for a much quieter year then last. One of my few resolutions is to stock up on chill pills. I am trying to work very hard on not letting the little things bother me and picking my battles a little more carefully. We have 8 people (hubby and myself, my mother, our daughter and 4 grands) all living in the same house and tensions run high sometimes. Have you ever heard the saying that grandkids are your reward for not strangling your kids. lol Well I have been rewarded with 4 beautiful and amazing grandkids.

For my project today the amazingly talented Betty is making a digi to resemble me. This is the sketch and I was way toooo excited and had to color it up. This is exactly what it looks like in my craft room. The grands are always in here asking to make something and I Love It!!!

I wove some Ice Blue and Sterling crinkle ribbon around a scalloped square to make a bit of a frame.

Happy Crafting!!!

3 Girl JAMMERs

Jessica here with you today.  I am pleased to share a  card I made to WISH Each and Every One of YOU
a
Happy New Year!

I stamped the fun Champagne Glasses, from the Unity Itty Bitty - Cheers! by Cosmo Cricket, onto Watercolor Paper using clear embossing ink.  I sprinkled my new, never used before, Ranger Embossing Tinsel (Silver)over that and applied heat....OH YEAH, I am HOOKED on the Tinsel Dust Now! LOL!

I was really blown away by all the sparkle that came through after heat setting the embossing tinsel.  So, being as impressed as I was, I wanted to emboss some more!  I grabbed the CHEERS sentiment from the same Unity Stamp set.  At that point, I felt maybe it would be a little "over the top" if I tinsel embossed the inside sentiment. 

I opted to just ink the sentiment up with the Dew  Drops Platinum ink and be done.  I did however add some Stardust Stickles to the #1 embossed on the background card stock.

OK, my addiction was apparently growing and I couldn't stop there....I needed more of the Tinsel.  I knew I had to own another sentiment or image that would go with this card theme in my Unity stash.  I found another stamp!  I grabbed Christmas in the Kitchen by Samantha Walker and inked up the Happy New Year sentiment/label.

Before I knew it, I was in a glitter frenzy & I  LOVED IT!  I added more Stardust  Stickles to the larger #1 on the card stock background on the front of the card.

I used white card stock as a card base measuring 5.5" x 8.5".  The pattern paper background layer is from a Colorbok Stack called Neutrals.  I embossed two pieces of Core'dinations Silver Pearl card stock using my Cuttlebug Numbers folder and my Darice Music Notes folder.  I distressed all of the edges and then inked them with my Dew Drops inks in Platinum and Silver.

I began placing my Sterling Crinkle Ribbon under my Champagne Glasses, but felt I needed more of that too. . . . "Hi, my Name is Jessica, and I love 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon"!
 
Another addiction I have had lately, are the fun Miniature Bows I learned to create using the 3 Girl JAM Bow Maker.  I wanted to try a new technique with them and decided to build a flower out of multiple mini bows.  I used Antique White, Sterling, and Summer Sprinkles.  I am really pleased with how it turned out!

 
I added a few tiny gun metal pearls around with a larger one in the center and a few flower stamens behind the bloom.   I then finished it off with a fun Pinque Peacock Beaded Stick Pin from the BSPpur0006 set.

Frosty the Snowman

I hope you all have been hopping along our challenge/hop. Everyone has done such a wonderful job on their Christmas Inspiration.

So far this year we have not had but a dusting of the white stuff around here so there have been NO snowmen yet so I just had to make my own snow using some gorgeous Sterling crinkle ribbon. My snowmen also have a very beautiful ruby wand that they got from our sponsor this time "Pinque Peacock".

Stay warm and Happy Crafting!

Shake a Tail Feather

Happy Tuesday Blends!!!

 Jessica here with you today

I surely hope you are all doing well!

The storms along the East Coast

are horrendous

and we 

are surely feeling the effects

here in Amherst, Ohio...

The wind gusts are treachorous

and the rain continues.

I am praying for all of those

who are in the midst of the storm!

Today, I am happy to share a card I made

for my Design Team spot at

3 Girl JAM!

Card base is Kraft.

 The bird is cut from Indie Art Cricut Cartridge at 4".
Papers -  Authentique - Glory and  Core'dinations Golden Pearl.

Feathers and sentiment are from the Unity Set - Tail Feather

(Artists: Tifany DeGough & Joselyn Nielson) 

I heat embossed the feathers and inside sentiment

using blue denim and gold dust embossing powders.

I added some Dew Drop Brilliance (Galaxy Gold)

around the outer edges.

I used the gorgeous 

Sterling Silver and luscious Yellow Sunflower

Crinkle Ribbon to create this fun Ribbon Flower.

I also used the yellow for my bird's bow.

I guess I didn't realize how easy it was

to make super teeny-tiny bows

with the

 3  Girl JAM Bowmaker.

Wow I am impressed 

and see more teeny-tiny bows

in future projects!

I am so happy

that you 

joined us today!
