Winter Blog Hop with 3 Girl JAM and Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons


The 3 Girl JAM and Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons design teams have joined forces to bring you a winter themed hop using products from both companies.  And it's gonna be GOOD!  These talented ladies are going to leave you SO inspired!  Here's the hop order:

I loved combining the great products from both companies, so I have two projects to share with you today.  First, a treat box I altered slightly to hold hot chocolate...

I used the PPPR large gift box with window, lengthened it a bit, and added a little trim to the window.  My hot cocoa packets fit inside perfectly.  The polar bear image from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Winter Critters cutting files looks just fine on the box.  And, why would he wear a scarf when he can be decked out in luscious 3 Girl JAM crinkle ribbon?  The ribbon used on the polar bear and box is from the Hot & Cold Bundle from 3 Girl JAM. The "You're so cool" pennant is a stamp from Unity Stamp Company.
Here's a closeup of that cute polar bear:


As I said, I was having so much fun with the cutting files and ribbon, I made a card for the hop, too.
I used the PPPR Center Panel Step Card and Winter Critters Cutting File to make this:


Again, I decked this moose out with some 3 Girl JAM jute string instead of a scarf.  Dashing, don't you think? The sentiment is from a retired Close To My Heart stamp set.  The jute ribbon behind it is from 3 Girl JAM.  And, do you see that lace?  It will soon be for sale in the 3 Girl JAM store.  It is soooooo fun to play, I mean work with!
And, a closeup of the sentiment, jute, and ribbon:


Did you know there are prizes to be won?  There's a $20 gift certificate from the PPPR store, and a $20 gift certificate from the 3 Girl JAM store.   For a chance to win, you need a be a follower of each blog and please comment on each blog.  For extra chances, please "like" the PPPR Facebook page and the 3 Girl JAM Facebook page.
Now, hop on off to the beautiful and talented Nicole's blog.  You'll love what she's created to share with you today!
