Little Prince Blog Hop

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Little Prince Blog Hop hosted by Miss Jessica from Homespun Elegance. 

 You should have arrived here from my good friend Madge, if not- you'll want to start at the beginning so you don't miss a thing!

I wanted to be a part of this hop because I never get to make boy things.  I don't have a little boy myself (I was blessed with twin girls), but I have lots of friends who do.

For my project I made a super cute card and gift bag using the Cricut Teddy Bear Parade cartridge, October Afternoon paper, Pink by Design Stamps, and 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon (spoiler alert- 2 new products coming soon!)

I also have some blog candy for you today!

*Win it before you can buy it*

One lucky follower of my 3 Girl JAM blog will receive 2 bundles of 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon that is not available in the store yet.  That's 4 new colors!!

Sketch Inspired Birthday

Good morning. This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I hope you are having an amazing day. I can't tell you how good it felt to get in the craft room. I haven't had any crafting time in 2 weeks. I didn't even have much time to spend, but it was oh-so-wonderful! Unfortunately, since I didn't have much time and I have so many cards to make, I needed a plan and it needed to be quick and easy. Ever have those days? This is the perfect time to grab a sketch. My sketch came from Operation Write Home, but you can find free sketches all over the internet. With sketch in hand, a couple of pads of paper, and some scrumptious 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon, I was ready to go.

Here's what I used:
Cherry Lipstick crinkle ribbon
Echo Park's "This & That - Graceful" 6X6 collection
TPC Studio - Happy Birthday Stamp
Archival Ink - Jet Black
Paper Trey Ink - "Vintage Cream" cardstock for the base

Did I mention that I have a LOT of cards to make? March is a busy birthday month for our family and there are going to be quite a few belated cards in that mix. I decided to make a masculine version of this same card using Goblin Green ribbon. Curious? Head on over to DJ's Sundries to see it. Don't forget that there is a "Green with Ribbon" challenge going on over on the challenge blog. My second card definitely fits this challenge, so I think that I will just link up. Better hurry though, because this challenge ends soon. Be sure to click here to enter.

Have a super day!

Welcome Spring Plaques

Hi everyone! This is Elizabeth from 217 Creations.  Today I am here to share some spring inspiration. I know I could really use it. Frankly I am sick of the snow.

 

So I thought I would lift my spirits and work with some fabulous 3Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon in Summer Sprinkles.  It is available in the Seasons Bundle.  This is my favorite bundle from 3 Girl Jam. 

 

My plaques are made from 5 by 7 hard canvases from Joann.  The images on the front are from a European craft company called Reddy.  My Local Scrapbook Store here in Kansas City sells Reddy kits. Each layer has a number.  You match it up and adhere the layers with pop dots. Think fussy cutting and layering without having to cut!

I mounted the pictures over the painted canvas.  I then hand-pleated with hot glue (lo-temp) the 3 Girl Jam Summer Sprinkles Crinkle Ribbon.  Remember when you are allowing your length for pleating,  Give yourself more length than just stretching it out straight.  To do each  5 by 7 plaque, I used about 2/3 yard.

My final step was to punch a hole for the satin ribbon and hang the plaque on the wall. I love these little pieces. They make me smile even when the calender says end of March but my yard looks like December. Please feel free to stop by my personal blog at 217 Creations for lots of pictures and close ups, plus more details! Have a creative day!
