Pelicans and Sunshine

Happy Thursday, ribbon lovers!  Julie O here today from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.   Our Summertime challenge is winding down, but summer is just getting started, so I made a summer themed card for today.

A pelican in a straw hat -- definitely summer, right?  I used 3 Girl JAM  crinkle ribbon from the Red, White, and Blue Bundle for this card.  I LOVE the red in this bundle.  It's such a true, vibrant red.
Need some of this red ribbon for yourself?  Use discount code JO10 at checkout and you'll get 10% off!  
For more details about this card, and for your chance at a giveaway (including some 3 Girl JAM ribbon), please visit my blog.
Have I told you?  I love SUMMER!

"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.

Stickpins & Pinwheels

Happy 4th of July.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I am so thankful to live in this great country.  I trust that everyone will have a great and safe time celebrating our country's birthday.  I think that crafting for the 4th of July is so much fun and I wanted to share this little craft with you today.

I enjoy participating in swaps.  One of my favorite items to swap is stick pins because they are so pretty.  The current swap that I am participating in is a red, white, and blue swap.  The stick pins have to be in a holder of some kind.  As I was playing on Pinterest recently, I ran across these pinwheel hair clips.  I decided that they would make a perfect holder for this month's stick pins once I modified them to fit my needs.  That's right - 2 fun gifts in 1.

You will need:
3Girl JAM Red, White, and Blue bundle found here
red, white and blue felt - cut into 4" squares
Buttons
Adhesive or thread to make pinwheels (I used E600 and thread)
Hair clips or barretts
Stick Pins (if you want to use this as a dual purpose project)

I am unsure of the measurement or the instructions for the pinwheels that I found on Pinterest.  However, 4 inches made the perfect little holders for me.  They also used little painted wooden stars in place of the button and ribbon centers.

Please head over to DJ's Sundries by clicking here to find the full tutorial on how I made these pretty holders.  Thanks for stopping by and remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Today kicks off our new series:

Our Favorite Blog Friends

I am so excited to do this because over the next several weeks you will be introduced to the 3GJ Design Team's Favorite Blog Friends.   Each Designer has asked their favorite friend to be a part of our team for the day- and I'll admit- I'm pretty impressed with their choices!

Today I get to introduce you to my Favorite Blog Friend:

Sarah Hamer from Sarah Hamer Designs

(aka Pink Cricut)

Sarah's was one of the first blogs that I started following when I started my crafty journey almost 2 years ago.  Her blog actually inspired me to start my own!

She is the owner/designer of Pink by Design Stamps-- which I LOVE!  

(No wonder you see them on my projects all the time- right!?!)

After a few months of following her blog and facebook I was shocked to find out that we live only 25 miles away from each other!

Have you ever met someone and just knew that you were supposed to be friends?

I have been on the Pink by Design team during most of 2012 and although my time on the team will soon be ending, I know our friendship will continue for years!

OK- enough mushy girl love.....

Sarah made a fabulous card to share with all of you today!

Here's what Sarah had to say:

Hi everyone, I am so excited to be guest designing for 3 Girl JAM today! They have FAB-U-LOUS ribbon and I always find myself reaching for it!
For my card today, I used DCWV card stock, Pink by Design stamps, and of course 3 Girl JAM ribbon in white. To me, this is probably the BEST combination ever! DCWV, 3GJ & PBD- you can't go wrong!
Thanks for taking a look at my project today, and a special thanks to Julie for asking me to guest design today!!
********
Thank You Sarah!  We are honored to have with us today!
********

To kick off our Guest Designer Series I'm going to do a little giveaway!
One lucky follower will win a bundle of 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon and the Pink by Design: Days Like This stamp set!!

Please comment below and let me know who YOUR Favorite Blog Friend is- and then-
use the Inlinkz and link up your own blog as well as your friend.
Let's all spread the love and make new friends today!

(Winner will be announced on Sunday 12/16/12)

Thanks for stopping by!

JOY Shaker Card with Jessica S

Welcome Welcome Welcome

3 Girl JAMMERS

Jessica S. here, to greet you with my

First Ever SHAKER Card!

I get to show you the darling miniature bows I am so obsessed with lately!

It's just something about things that are girly, pretty and tiny

that make me feel like a kid again!!!

And, of course, they are SUPER EASY to make using the 3 Girl JAM Bow Maker!!!

The Crinkle Ribbon  Colors I used were Holly Berry Red (Winter Bundle)

and the  White ribbon from the July 2012 limited edition Red, White and Blue Bundle.

I had started by using my Sizzix Christmas Tree Die on Produce Green Core card stock.

As soon as I picked up the left over scraps, I got the idea to create my first EVER Shaker Card.

I embossed the outer frame with a snowflakes folder, then sanded lightly, and added some Platinum Dew Drop ink.   I applied some Stardust Stickles using a cotton ball for added sparkle.

For my "shaker pouch", I used a plastic treat bag and added some Green, Gold and Red micro beads.  I grabbed some little "bits and bobs" I had kept from different Cricut Cut leftovers

and scraps left from using my punches.  There were some teeny, tiny,

fun Scarlet Pearl Core card stock pieces (from a banner cut off of Pretty Pennants) as well as a few blue and green snowflakes leftover after  using an ekSuccess border punch.

(SEE Heather Lynn, I knew I would use them...LOL) 

Behind the top layer, I used core couture Green card stock, embossed

it with a Swirls folder and sanded the swirls lightly.  I added a touch ofGold Dew Drops ink to finish it.   The ribbon garland was created by simply knotting up the Holly Berry Red  Crinkle Ribbon  and adhering behind the tree cut.  

The JOY sentiment is a rub-on transfer. 

The border was created by using the same Snowflake punch I mentioned before.

I lined the inside of my card with core couture Red card stock.

The current Challenge at 3 Girl JAM  is still open until Thursday night.

The theme is a fabulous Thanksgiving Color Challenge.

I tried to incorporate those colors (a hint of some and a dash of others!!!)

 and jumped over the Thanksgiving theme a bit, skipping straight to Christmas.

I think the colors work well for both Holidays, don't you???

Please join in the fun and play along

for a chance to win some AMAZING PRIZES 

and a Guest Designer Spot at 3 Girl JAM!!!

I would also be delighted to have you stop by my Blog to have a peek around!

You can find me at

Jessica's Craft Shaque.

Keep Crafting,

Make A Wish Card

Hi everyone!

Ashley here from The Glamorous Side Of Scrapping.

I am sad to say that this is the last post that I will be doing as a 3 Girl JAM Design Team member.  The term is coming to an end and I'm moving on to allow new creativity to come in and show off the yummy crinkle ribbon.  I want to thank Julie for giving me an opportunity to share my creations with everyone.  I also want to thank my design team sisters for all the inspiration :)

For my last post I'm sharing a simple card using the white crinkle ribbon!  I used the awesome 3 Girl JAM Bow Maker to create the perfect bow!

The wand came from the Silhouette store and the sentiment and flag die come from Jaded Blossom.

More details can be found on my blog here.

Have a fabulous crafty day!

Now onto my DT Project!

I used the fun Red, White, and Blue Ribbon-June Bundle on my card today.

This Bundle is unique from the other ribbon bundles offered at 3 Girl JAM.

It is a 3 color bundle.

Each color consists of 4 yards of ribbon (for a total of 12 yards!)-

all for $5.99!!

This is a limited edition item- 

which means when they're gone, they're gone!

 GRAB YOURS TODAY!

I first laid cut a slit in the seam of my card to feed the crinkle ribbon through.  I then laid down a strip of adhesive with my ATG gun.  I twisted the blue and white and slowly pressed the ribbon down onto
the strip of adhesive and continued twisting until I reached the end.
I pleated the red ribbon in two rows to create the affect you see above.  Again, I laid down a strip of adhesive with my ATG gun. I pleated and pressed until I reached the end.  Once I got to the end, I went back to each loose loop and added a small bit of adhesive to stick it to the strip of ribbon already adhered.

Lucky Sneak Peek

    Hey guys and gals....Happy first Tuesday of the month of June. Where did May go?....I've been so busy, I think I forgot to enjoy the warm spring month before the hot Summer months arrive. But I did have some time during the rainy days to complete some layouts. And you guys are in luck today....I get to give you a sneak peak at the wonderful, new, limited edition ribbon that Julie has. ( Make sure you come back on Wednesday for the awesome blog hop we have going on....the ladies will have some amazing projects to share. And you never know, there may be some prizes during the hop too).

 So, without holding you guys in suspense for much longer, here is my layout...

(excuse the pictures, I didn't have a clean undisrupted area except the livingroom window, Not ideal. )

   This is just a quick peak at the amazing blue crinkle ribbon Julie has made. Isn't it a great BLUE. I just love how it pops. Head over to my blog to see what other products I've used. And MAKE SURE you head back here tomorrow June 6th for our wonderful blog hop.
