"Love in a Jar" - 3GJ Design Team Post


Today I have a card to share with you that I made for Valentine's Day using some of the newer products to the 3 Girl JAM store - colored lace (soon to be released) and jute string.


Here is a closer shot of the pink lace and the navy jute string.  I used some scor tape on the back of the jar lid to adhere my lace and then folded it over to give it a ruffled look.  This is one of the thinner laces and I chose to use it so that it didn't cover up all of my hearts in my jar.  I just love the "homemade" touch it gives to the mason jar.


If you love this lace or any other 3 Girl JAM products for that matter, head on over to the 3Girl JAM store and receive 10% off your order by using code NE10.  Happy Shopping!!
Other supplies used~
The mason jar with hearts is from the Silhouette store - #37845
I used some clear acetate over top of the jar and sewed it into place.  I stamped my hearts using a variety of Cardz TV Stamps' sets (Be My Valentine, Ticket Talk, Snail Mail) - sometimes I put scotch tape over sections of the stamp because I only wanted one of the words to stamp.  After I ink the stamp up I take the scotch tape off and voila!!  I have only the word(s) I want stamped.  I used my Stardust Gelly Roll pen to highlight the heart in my sentiment.

Winter Wonderland Layout - PPPR design team


Thanks for stopping by today.  I have a scrapbook layout to share with you that I have made for my design team project for Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I was inspired to make this layout after we had a bizarre winter storm that threw our poor town into chaos for a week.  


For my layout I used the following files -

Thank You Cards with "flair" - 3GJ design team post


Today is my design team post for 3 Girl JAM and I have a couple of  "thank you" cards to share that I made using a few of  the 3 Girl JAM "thank you" flair.



I got my inspiration for my first card from a card I pinned on Pinterest which you can see here.  


For my second card I also used some "tuxedo" crinkle ribbon from the 3GJ Celebrations bundle and tied a double bow using the 3GJ bow maker.  The eiffel tower is from the Silhouette online store and the flowers, pearls and sequins were from my stash.  Thanks for stopping by today!!

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".
