Watercolor Tags

 This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I have recently discovered that I like playing with watercolors.  It is fun and challenging.  I have so much to learn and am actually taking a couple of classes in using them.  I am participating in a swap that requires watercolors, so I was excited to get started.  Of course, lots of 3 Girl JAM goodies were the perfect compliment for all the watercolors.

Summer sprinkles and gorgeous 3GJ lace were perfect for this first tag.  Other supplies will be listed below.

This tag was also made with gorgeous 3 Girl JAM lace, but the bold, bright colors called for bold ribbon colors, so I used Cherry Lipstick and Sunflower.

This final tag was made with more lace coupled with the Spooky bundle.  The muted colors remind me of a flower peering through a storm.

Other supplies:
Strathmore watercolor paper
Fancy Pants "Lavender Leaves" paper
Tim Holtz Cargo Stencil
Studio Calico Huey's Mask
Art Philosophy Tag #3 cut at 6.25"
Artist's Loft Modeling Paste
Homemade glitter spray
Neocolor II watercolor crayon set
Distress Ink - Forest Moss, Pickled Raspberry, Salty Ocean, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers
Distress Markers - Mustard Seed, Dusty Concord
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Stampin' Up - foliage stamp
Sweet & Sassy "The Future" stamp set
Delta Gerbera Daisy stamp
Martha Stewart Butterfly punch
Recollections flowers and leaves
Prima flowers
ATG, Scor-Tape, Dimensional Glue Dots, Scotch Quick Dry Glue

Don't forget that the current "Spring Challenge" is nearing the end over on the challenge blog, so be sure to link up your projects.  If you are interested in seeing the video for these tags, head on over to DJ's Sundries by clicking here.

Yellow, Green and Orange with Donna K

Hello and Happy Friday!

Donna K here to share some 

Yellow, Green & Orange inspiration.

I love St. Patty's Day…I think it's the whole "lucky" theme.

Soooo…..I came up with a "bouquet" of Shamrock Balloons and featured 

a big 'ole Sunflower crinkly bow tying things together.

AND yes…I had to use my bow maker to get the double bow appearance here.

{I'm not ashamed to admit I need help I'm the bow making department!}

Then….since I was feeling froggy I decided to jump and make another card to share.

I needed a birthday card for our little blonde

 nephew who celebrates this month.

The paper I chose is a fun lime green and goes PERFECTLY with the new 

Lemon-Lime ribbon!  I added a Harvest Orange banner behind my 

faux paper button to help it stand out.

You can pick up your ribbons or other 3GirlJAM products 

and get a sweet little discount by using the code DB10 when you check out.

You also should link up your own

Have a fab day today…

Guest Designer: Lucy Evans

Happy Saturday, 3 Girl JAM Friends!  Karen N here....and today, I am SUPER stoked to be introducing you to 3 Girl JAM Guest Designer Lucy Evans.  Lucy and I have been online scrappy buddies for a LONG time, and let me tell you.....not only is this gal incredibly sweet, but she's full of crazy crafty goodness.  Without further ado, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Lucy!

*****
Hi. My name is Lucy. I am a Medical Technologist at a large laboratory. I am married, have 3 adult daughters and one grandson who is 6 years old. I live in a suburb of Chicago. I got hooked on scrapbooking in 1995 when I was shown a Creative Memories brochure. I caught the card making bug while socializing with a bunch of other craft-o-holics on a crafting website. I love making cards, not only for the fun of creating, but also of knowing that it may bring the recipient some joy.

I have been a lover of 3 Girl Jam ribbon for a more than a year. I love the ribbon colors and the way it "Crinkles".  I have also purchased some of the burlap ribbon, lace and flair, which I need to play with.  I was surprised, nervous and honored when Karen asked me to be a guest designer. The March challenge is to use the colors Yellow, Green and Orange. At first, I thought about jelly beans, because I love them and they are out in the stores. Then I looked at the colors of the 3 Girl Jam ribbon and it reminded me more of warmth and spring. We still have white snow covering the ground and have had below freezing temperatures for months. I am ready for spring! These were also my mom's favorite colors :-) I used a stamp from Unity Stamp Co., some Ranger Distress inks to water color the image. I went over it with some Niji Pearlescent water colors, which are very similar to Twinkling H2O's. the second picture shows the glimmer.  I used 3 Girl Jam ribbon in the colors, Harvest Orange, Sunflower and Goblin Green. The rest of the details and products I used are over on my blog http://littlescrapsoflucy.blogspot.com.

Here's a close-up:

I LOVE the ribbon banner and how you placed the ribbon under that sunflower.  So gorgeous.  Thank you, Lucy, so much for designing for 3 Girl JAM today!

Craftily yours,

Karen

Holiday Tags

Hi Everyone!

Today is an extra special post because I get to share my projects here, on the Linnie Blooms Blog, AND on my personal Blog!

Autumn is my favorite time of the year.  I love all of the colors, the cool crisp air, and the start of the Holiday Season, [and all of the shopping!]

This is also my favorite crafting time of the year.  Lots of creativity flowing through my brain out out of my hands lately!

I made a couple of tags- because you just never know when you will need one :)

For this project I used:
Linnie Blooms Blank Canvas Tags,  Canvas Fall Leaves, and Linnie Textures.
3 Girl JAM Jute Ribbon, Crinkle Ribbon, and New Thank You Flair

For this project I used:
Linnie Blooms Blank Canvas Tags,  Canvas Evergreens, and Linnie Textures.
3 Girl JAM  Crinkle Ribbon, and New Christmas Flair

"Thanks" Mini Cards

Good morning everyone.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries.  I don't know about you but I have to say that fall is greeting me with its nippy mornings.  I miss the summer, but I do love the beauty of the fall and the warmth I feel snuggled into my craft room.

My 14 year old son is a newspaper carrier.  Last year I made little thank you cards for everyone on his route and he signed them and included them in one of the newspapers in November.  I decided that he should carry out this tradition this year for each of the 60 or so people on his route.  These cute little cards fit the bill perfectly.  I used some Halloween Harvest, Merlot, and Sunflower 3 Girl JAM ribbon to add a special touch to these little beauties.

I also used:
Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge
Core'dinations Safari 12X12 paper
DCWV - Autumn Melody Matstack
Paper Trey Ink - Vintage Cream card stock
ATG

Halloween Door Hanger Treat Boxes

Happy Monday folks, Nicole here!!  I hope you had a great weekend and got a bit of craft time in for yourself.  I have a project to share with you that I made for my 3 daughters for Halloween.  My older 2 daughters are past the trick or treating stage so I wanted to "treat" them with some goodies of their own.  I haven't bought all the "goodies" yet so I am showing them empty to you but let me tell you there is a lot of room inside of these.

I wrapped some 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon around the bottom of each box and tied it in a bow to finish it off.  I used the following 3 Girl JAM colors of ribbon for my project -

"Sunflower" and "Harvest Orange" from the 3GJ Harvest Bundle

"Goblin Green" from the 3GJ Spooky Bundle

For more info please visit my BLOG.  Thanks for stopping by today - have a great week!

Spools & Stickpins

Good morning everyone.  This is Cheri from DJ's Sundries and I am loving the fall weather.  Today was gorgeous and full of sunshine.  The leaves are falling and wonderful warm color surrounded me.

 

The warm tones were the inspiration for today's project and 3 Girl JAM provides just the right ribbon to complement that.  The Harvest Bundle is perfect for autumn crafting.  You can find yours here.

 

In the last year or so, I have really enjoyed making stickpins.  I am gathering quite a collection of these little beauties.  When I have the opportunity to enter a stickpin swap, I try to do so.  When the opportunity came to alter a spool and add stickpins, I knew it would be a lot of fun and I needed to join.

Of course, I needed a few supplies to go with the gorgeous 3 Girl JAM ribbon.

Spools (from Michaels)

Recollections flowers and adhesive rhinestones

Tim Holtz Ideology tissue wrap

Ripe Persimmon, Gathered Twigs & Seedless Preserves Distress Inks

Lace, stick pins, charms and beads from my stash

Delta Ceramcote - Light Ivory

Mod Podge, Hot Glue, Glossy Accents

If you would like to see a video where I talk you through the project with a bit more explanation, please go to DJ's Sundries by clicking here.

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

Let's Celebrate!!!!

Morning and Happy Friday everyone!!!
Jessica here with a  fun and easy Celebration project to share for
3 Girl JAM 

that also fits our current challenge going on all month
So as a reminder the challenge is
Celebrations

because we are celebrating 3GJ's 2 year birthday!!!

We want to see any of your projects that celebration something!

And here is what I made...

I LOVE stamping on the Muslin Bags you can pick up in the 3GJ store. They make great gifts for packaging all those fun treats and are so super easy to embellish with some of your favorite stamps and of course ribbon :)

So using one of my favorite new stamps from My Creative Time~Build a Chevy Background I stamped first the thicker chevron using Stazon Black ink and then the smaller dotted chevron using Fired Brick Distress ink.  Then using the Let's Celebrate stamp set for the sentiment, I again stamped using the Stazon Ink. 

When I make these, I always pull out the rope ties that come with the bag so I can add my 3GJ ribbon instead. Using a combo of Holly Berry Crinkle Ribbon and Sunflower Crinkle Ribbon I threaded the ribbon through to tie in a bow on the side.

Then using the party die from My Creative Time along with the new color of Trendy Twine~ Cherry Lemonade, I added them to my ribbon bow and tied them all together.

I sure hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with us over at the 

3 Girl JAM Challenge Blog!

Remember you have all month  to share your

Celebration projects!!

Thanks so very much for stopping by!!

Have a GREAT Friday!! 

Home

Hi Everyone!

I bought a new house a few months ago and I love it!

I have been busy unpacking and getting everything everything exactly how I want it.

Now that the hard part is done-

I get to have fun with the decorating....

I made this wall hanging and LOVE how it turned out!

It all started with an 8x8 canvas.

I covered it with some October Afternoon Paper

I cut out the Home "h" and the flowers with my Silhouette Cameo (images were from the Silhouette store).

I used a Linnie Shape from the Linnie Blooms store and finished it off with a ribbon flower made with 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon.

You can see my project on the Linnie Blooms blog and the 3 Girl JAM blog today also.

I'd love it if you stopped by each of them!!

Thanks for stopping by!
