Christmas Gift Bag and Matching Tag - 3GJ DT post

Happy Monday my fellow bloggers!!  How are your Christmas preparations going?  I am feeling 95% prepared and whatever doesn't get done at this point will not ruin our time together as a family this holiday.  Today I have a project to share with you that I made for Christmas.  I decided to make a gift bag and matching tag to put my niece's Christmas gift in.

The gift bag is from the "Happy Holidays" set that SVG Cuts gave to its customers for free.  I used some 3 Girl JAM "Red, White and Blue" crinkle ribbon (color blue) for the handles on my gift bag.  I used the Merlot Jute ribbon and the Navy Jute string  from the "Jute Ribbon and String" pack for my tag.  Thanks for stopping by today!!  Merry Christmas!!

Hand Sanitizer Christmas Gifts - PPPR DT post

Thanks for stopping by today my fellow paper crafters!!  Today I have some hand sanitizer gifts to share with you for my Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' design team project.  I am making these as gifts for my coworkers at the dance studio I teach for.  

The cut file I used for the base of the hand sanitizer holder is from Ruth Nixon and can be found here.  I embellished the front of my holders using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' "Christmas Cookies" cutting files set.  I did a print and cut for the snowman, Christmas tree and snowflake because I need to make 15 of these.  So grateful that the Silhouette Cameo has this option and Lisa's files from PPPR look adorable as print and cuts.  My sentiment is from Cardz TV Stamps' "Going in Circles" set.  

Make sure you stop by the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' blog to see the rest of the design team's projects for today.  Also, don't forget about the current PPPR challenge - "Gift Giving".  

3 Girl JAM DT day - Gingerbread Treat Box

Happy Saturday fellow 3 Girl JAM lovers!!  Today I am sharing with you a treat box I made shaped like a gingerbread house.  I used some "Mistletoe" ribbon from the Winter Bundle collection to tie it up.  There are so many beautiful holiday colored ribbons to choose from in the 3 Girl JAM store that you can decorate with ribbon to your heart's content.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies used ~

PPPR "Gift Giving" Blog Hop

Welcome to the "Gift Giving" blog hop with the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons design team.  You should have arrived at my blog after visiting the lovely Nanne's blog.  If you missed the beginning of the hop just head on over to Lisa's blog.  You won't want to miss out on all the creative gift giving projects the design team has created for today using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' designs.

For my project, I created a coffee gift card holder -

I used the "Coffee To Go" file from the "Java Great Day" cutting files.  I created an offset image, duplicated it and then welded it together to create the base of my card.  I did an internal offset to creat the inside layers of my card and then just used some green cardstock for the actual gift card holder.  I adhered the green cardstock to the base and then just trimmed it up using some scissors.  The holly on the outside of the card is from "Santa Titles" cutting files.  My sentiments are from Cardz TV Stamps' "Christmas Joy", "Brew Ha Ha" and "Home for Christmas" stamp sets.

Halloween Door Hanger Treat Boxes - 3 Girl JAM DT

Happy Monday folks!!  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 created a shadow for the designer paper layers to help make my box stronger and I added an extra piece of cardstock to the bottom of the box to reinforce that area too.

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

Other supplies used ~

Cardz TV Stamps "Trick or Treat" stamp set

Lori Whitlock "3 cute Halloween set" from the Silhouette Store
