Sweet and Simple with 3 Girl JAM

Hello Crafty Blends

Jessica here today

to share my

project

at

3 Girl JAM

I have been wanting to work

on my CAS style a bit

and still feel like I struggled

to "stop before I got ahead" 

on my card today.

I started with white card stock

and stamped the Bakery Image (Unity Exclusice Stampin' Store Kit 12/2009)

onto a separate scrap piece of white cs and colored to match.

(to use as a bottom layer)

I then stamped the
Brick Wall (Marah Johnson - Up Against a Wall by Unity)
background

onto my mint green dp first.

I wanted to give the Bakery a brick wall look,

so I stamped the Bakery image directly on top of it.

I colored a few places in with my Watercolor markers 

to coordinate with the cupcake border

I had already cut using my ekSuccess punch

and other colors I was using on my card.

I fussy cut the awning from the bottom layer Bakery image

because I wanted it to "pop" off the card.

I cut a slit right above the window on the green image, then slid

the fussy-cut awning through and taped it on the back. 

I used a small piece of 3D foam to keep it raised.

The sentiment is also from a Unity stamp set called
Rockin' It Unity Style March 2010 - Kit of the Month .

After stamping it onto purple card stock,

I used my Spellbinder Labels die

to cut the scalloped edged rectangle.

I put two eyelets at each of the top corners

so I could thread

my Iris 3 Girl JAM Crinkle Ribbon

through and mimic the OPEN 

sign you see in the window of the Bakery.

I used a fun cupcake brad for the "hanger" on my sign.

On the inside of the card

I used a matching purple cs mat that I rounded the corners with using 

my new corner rounder.

I made a fun bow from the same Iris Crinkle Ribbon

using my

3 Girl JAM Bow Maker

(man, how I love that thing!!!!!!!)

I added a few more punched cupcakes

and stopped!!!

I am so happy you stopped 

by
