3GJ Challenge: Christmas Inspriation

Hi Everyone!

 I have been busy, busy, busy making Christmas cards for my family and friends.

Here's a quick one that I made the other day.

I used a file from the Silhouette store and cut it out with my Cameo.

I used Goblin Green 3GJ Ribbon to make the fluffly bow and a super cute fabric covered button from Pinque Peacock.

You still have plenty of time to link up your Christmas projects with us.

We have some pretty sweet prizes up for grabs- but you've got to make sure you follow our simple rules to be eligible to win.

Make sure to check out the 3 Girl JAM Challenge blog to check out the rules and the fabulous prizes up for grabs.

Not a Card Friday

Hi Everyone!

It's Friday so that means no card for me today.

Pink by Design is wrapping up their Challenge Week of Non-traditional Christmas Colors

(you still have through Sunday to enter your projects!).

Today I am showing one of the MANY sanitizer holders my girls and I made for Christmas gifts this year.

These are perfect little gifts for the girls' teachers, friends, and other people at school and church.

The best part-

they are super quick and simple to make!

I got the idea from THIS POST at Sarah Hamer's blog.

 PBD Stamp Sets used:

Dictionary Background, Everyday Banners, Black Friday

These also have some 3 Girl JAM ribbon: Halloween Harvest

and a Pinque Peacock Fabric Covered button (How awesome are these!)

Coloring with Gelatos

**Make sure to check out my 3 Girl JAM blog today- featuring Sarah Hamer:Guest Designer

Hi Everyone!

I have a fun coloring technique for you today-

Coloring backgrounds with Gelatos!

Pink by Design is having a fabulous challenge this week using Non-traditional Christmas colors.

To tie into this challenge I made a card using blues, pinks, grey, and black (ok- there's some red and green in there too!)

 PBD Stamp sets used:

Chevron Background, Joyful Tags

My background uses the PBD Chevron background stamp which I heat embossed with white powder.

I used red, green, silver, and gold Faber Castell Gelatos and let them do their magic thing and came out with my fabulous background.

Make sure to link up your project this week at Pink by Design HERE.

You can also link up any of your Christmas projects at 3 Girl JAM also!
