Gaëlle made these adorable gift bags using the So Tweet Collection–have I mentioned yet that this collection is perfect for all of your holiday crafts??–and finished the bags off with some Pebbles Ribbon and Chips!

Liz used some of our Duplicate Stickers to create this fun and festive Christmas card! What a great idea to pair them up with a little ribbon and buttons and make them into ornaments!

See you tomorrow when we finish up this fantastic Gift Week!

One of our favorite Pebbles products is our Chalks–and we want to share some with YOU!!

Each of our Chalk Sets come with 30 beautiful shades that are soft and easy to blend! The latest addition to the chalk family, the Creamy Metallic Chalks, are smooth and creamy and will polish into a lustrous sheen!

Our chalk stencils are perfect for chalking, painting, dry embossing, tracing, inking and more! Because the stencils are made from a durable, transparent plastic, it’s easy to place the stencil exactly where you want the design to show up.

We are giving away three of our most popular Chalk Sets: the Pastel, Shimmer Jewel Tone and Metallic Chalks as well as our FOUR Stencil Sets!

We’re already to DAY 3 of our Gift Week! Today we have three super cute gift bag ideas by three talented members of the Pebbles Design Team!

Mimi made this fun gift card tin using the So Tweet Collection! This collection is perfect for all of your holiday crafts this year!

How cute is this?? Marielle used papers from the Skipping Along Collection and some Ribbon and Candy Dots (my favorite!) to create this fun gift bag! (I wonder what’s inside??!)

Samantha made this gift card holder using a metal box! My favorite part about this gift card holder is the wreath on the front made from chipboard shapes from our Pebbles Chips and dressed it up with some buttons and Ribbon! How cute! (Oh…and I wouldn’t mind receiving a gift card to The Cheesecake Factory, either!)

Thanks for stopping by! Come back this afternoon for details on our Christmas Cheer Giveaway!

More great gift ideas from our fabulous Design Team for you today!

Suzanne made these fun sweet treat packages using the So Tweet Collection–perfect for neighborhood gifts or school treats for your kids’ teachers! (Thanks Suzanne for giving us a sneak at the inside of the package, too!)

Akiko made this cute card that is complete with an ornament tucked inside! I also love the non-traditional color palette for this Christmas card! What a fun idea to combine a card and ornament. Thanks Akiko!

Lisa makes these cute gift boxes for her children to give their friends at school each year! Each box only uses a 6 x 4″ piece of paper, so they are perfect for small little treats! Simply dress them up with some ribbon, chipboard shapes and tag and they are ready to go!

Stop by tomorrow as we’ll be spreading the Christmas cheer with a giveaway! See you then!

Lynn created this beautiful paper bow and gift box set using the So Tweet Collection and was kind enough to put together the step-by-step instructions for making a paper bow!

• Cut 8 strips of 1″ x 6″ patterned paper, 4 strips of 1″ x 5″ patterned paper, and 1 strip of 1″ x 4″ patterned paper. It’s important to cut the 1″ x 4″ strip before you cut the 1″ x 5″ strips if using a single 6” x 12” sheet of paper.

• Take the 1″ x 6″ strips and put adhesive on one end of each strip and fold so the ends overlap and create a “petal”.

•Repeat this process with the 1″ x 5″ strips.

• Take the 1″ x 4″ strip and put adhesive on one end and fold to form a loop.

• Use a small hole punch to punch a whole at the bottom of each “petal”.

• Use a brad and attach 4 1” x 6” “petals” together to form the base of the bow.

• Create another layer of the bow by staggering the next set of “petals” and so on.

• Attach the loop in the center of the bow with a glue dot.

Thanks Lynn for sharing!

Stop by later this afternoon for more gift ideas from the Pebbles Design Team!
