Guest Designer Rhonda Emery!

Hello, and happy Wednesday, fellow ribbon lovers.  This is Julie O today.  I want to introduce you to a very talented friend of mine who is guest designing for us on the 3 Girl JAM blog today.  Meet Rhonda Emery from Scrap Happens With Rhonda.  She has one of the most creative minds of anyone I've met.  I'm so pleased to share this project with you today:

The Easter basket is a cutting file from Treasure Box. 

The 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon used on this is Coral Crush from the Caribbean Splash Bundle and Iris from the Spring Flowers Bundle.

This is so adorable, Rhonda! Thank you for guest designing today, and for sharing your talents with us.  Please stop by Rhonda's blog and leave her a little love. 

Funky bracelet by Marji

Today, I am sharing an "out of the box" project.

I got this crazy idea to make a ribbon bracelet.  

I found these jewelry pieces on clearance, picked my top 3 favorite colors and went to work.

I used  jump rings to attach the findings to the ribbons, it held up at work ( nursery with 2month-10 month old babies), the babies loved playing with the pieces, I was worried about snagging them on clothes or while picking the kids up and such.  If I wear it on my left arm it gives them something to look at while I change their diapers, much better than hands all over yucky places.

I am really proud of this project.  Attaching it to a clasp was the hardest part, I finally decided on this type of clasp. I love that it matched so well.  Complete luck there.

You can shop all the Crinkle ribbon here, above are the bundles I picked from, one from each bundle.

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!



Altered Cigar Style Box

Vintage styled altered crafts are so incredibly fun to make that I had to share one with you.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I am participating in an altered cigar style box swap.  I must admit that I had so much fun with this one that I plan to make more in the future.

I had some paper from the ancestry.com line by K&Company that was perfect for a vintage style box.  There are a few 3 Girl JAM ribbons that coordinate perfectly with these papers.  I decided to use Coral Crush from the Caribbean Splash bundle and Cream from the Coffee bundle to accent these great papers.  There were a lot of other supplies that were needed for this project including some pretty lace, a bit of bling and more.  Please head over to DJ's Sundries for a list of the supplies that were used.  You might even enjoy the video that is linked over there.

Have a great day and remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

Altered Journal

Hi everyone! This is Elizabeth from 217 Creations.  Today I am here to share my altered journal.  I started with a blank Fancy Pants journal.  I covered it with Teresa Collins paper.  The ribbon I layered on the side features 3GJ Crinkle ribbon in Coral Crush from the Caribbean Splash collection. 

 

I hand pleated the ribbon and tied a multi-layered bow with the 3GJ Bow Maker.

If you want more details or pictures please feel free to stop by my personal blog at 217 Creations.  Thank you for taking the time to subscribe and comment here at 3 Girl JAM.

Thank You

Hi Everyone!

Julie here with a special Thank You card that I made for a special person.

I used some 3GJ Coral Crush Ribbon to go with the DCWV Coral Couture paper.

The flowers and the shapes are from the Silhouette store.

The sentiment is from Pink by Design.

Link up your own "Shaped Cards" at our Challenge Blog.

You could win a $10.00 3 Girl JAM gift certificate 

and some awesome Skittles from Carri at Abusybee!

Hey there Blends and 3 Girl JAMmers

Today, I am posting a quick tag project.

I used a Kraft Tag that I inked with some TH Vintage Photo around the edges.

I cut a layer of BoBunny Garden Girl pattern paper to give my tag a vibrant color palette.

The hardest part of making this tag was deciding which fantastic color of 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon to use because I could have chosen so many.

Well, I narrowed it down to the Coral Crush (as the main color of ribbon) and some "tails" at the top of my tag using Witch's Brew, Goblin Green, and the Coral Crush....

The sentiment was stamped on some scrap paper (green floral) using a SU Sentiment in the World Treasures set.

Thanks for Stopping In Today

Graduations Galore

It would seem that every one of my relatives this side of the Mississippi has at least one family member graduating from either high school or college this year!  Last weekend alone, we went to three separate graduating parties...and have another party next month!  I didn't have to cook at all until Memorial Day!  It was great.

All that partying was what I needed to get my mojo in gear.  Made several lovely graduation cards, very similar to the one above. It's a good thing they were all women (next month I won't be so lucky), because it is so much easier for me to make a girly-girl card that a boy-themed one.

Anyway, here's one of the cards I made using Coral Crush from the Caribbean Splash bundle (awesome festive name!~)

I've outlined the other products I used on my blog HERE, if you are interested.

In the meantime, remember to smell the roses!

Well...... it's a great Thursday here at 3 Girl JAM!  Scrappin Madge here from Madge's Scrappin Lounge and today I am super excited to show to you my fun project.  Who has papers everywhere and the regular old clothes pins just aren't doing the trick holding up all of the papers??? Boy do I have a solution for you.  Go check out your local dollar store and see if they sell RAT.... yes I said RAT.... traps... Not MOUSE.... RAT!! LOL check out my project and see what I made with a fun Rat trap.

I used the Caribbean Splash crinkle ribbon.  Isn't this the cutest thing EVER????

Here are two more pics that are close up.

I painted the Rat trap, used some fun pattern paper from My Mind's Eye, Pink Paislee embellishments

American Crafts pin wheels, party straws, American Crafts thickers, Two heart straight pins, brown distress ink, Hot glue and mod podge.
 CAUTION****** Do NOT try this without supervision!!! I am serious, this could take off your finger if you are not careful so please be careful.

I am going to use the clip that Sn@ps shut when you catch your rat.  This part will hold my papers perfectly.  Don't you just love the fun color of Crinkle Ribbon????  Coral Crush!!! One of my new favorites!!!

Be sure to leave some bloggie love, oh yes and if you haven't ordered your 3 Girl JAM products be sure to visit the shop {HERE}

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.

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
