Happy Holidays Blog Hop

Welcome to 3 Girl Jam's Happy Holidays Blog Hop! 

We're so glad you can join us and sneak a peek at 3GJ's new products! If you've come from Nicole's blog, you're in the right place. If you've just come across the hop and would like to start at the beginning, please visit the 3 Girl Jam blog. :)

This weekend 3GJ is having a special on their new products!




Use the code: HOLIDAY to save $10.00 off your order of $20.00 or more when you buy one or more of the 3 new products!

You can also comment on ALL the stops for a chance to win a Ribbon Candy Crinkle Ribbon Bundle, Christmas Flair, and a Jute Ribbon Pack. 

I created two projects for the hop using 3GJ's fabulous new products:


(I apologize for the shadows in my pictures - it has seriously been cloudy here ALL week and this was the best I could do with the little sunlight we had yesterday. Darn Mother Nature!)

The first project I made is a tag using the new Ribbon Candy Bundle and a super cute Christmas Flair button. I cut a tag using my Silhouette and embellished with Lawn Fawn's "Peace, Joy, Love" collection. I created a small library card pocket also using my Silhouette and included a smaller card with a sentiment. 



For my second project, I created a simple card using Jute Ribbon. I cut a Christmas tree with my Silhouette, distressed the edges, and glued pearls on the tree to act as ornaments. I covered the star on the tree using Champagne Stickles. The Kraft cardstock is embossed with snowflakes, and I used a Copic clear Spica pen to add glitter to the embossed flakes. I love the subtle sparkle effect this gives the card, and think my Spica pen will be an often used tool this winter. :)

Here's the entire lineup in case you get lost along the way:
