The store is 3GirlJam, and the ribbon color selection was too good to pass up, so I ordered a pack...wonderful! The shipping was quick, the website is easy to navigate, and the ribbon...wow! I'm in love!
Ok, enough rhapsodizing...on to the challenge. The challenge until Sept 20th is ribbon flowers...and you can use any ribbon you like to enter! Head on over to the 3GirlJam Challenge Blog and check it out!
Here is my entry for the challenge
I had fun making the flower...its the crinkle ribbon wound around a bowmaker about 14 times, then tied in the middle and fluffed.
Supplies
- cardstock: wausau
- patterned cardstock: DCWV
- ribbon: 3GirlJam
- ink: martha stewart
- stamp: fiskars
- button: stash
Here is a dimensional view of the flower...I love how soft and fluffy it is!
And you can see the sparkle of the patterned cardstock a bit better as well.
Now, since I have your attention...
I'll show you the card that I made for the first challenge...butterflies and bows.
I did not get the card posted in time to enter the challenge...but I thought it was pretty and wanted to show it off anyway!
Besides, this card perfectly fit the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays...embossing. With the inking I did to accent the embossing I do wonder if it fits the CAS part...but I decided to link up anyway!

The inspiration for this card came from this pin...I've used this basic idea over and over, it is so adaptable!
Check out how fluffy that bow is!
And the inside...both of these cards are for weddings...the invites for fall are starting to fill my mailbox!
You can sort of see in this picture the shimmer on the cardstock that I used. I was so pleased that the pigment ink dried on it quickly...I had been hesitating to use it because I thought that it would need stazon ink, but no!
Supplies: (same as for first card with the addition of)
- die cut: sizzix
- embossing folder: cuttlebug
Thanks for looking!
