Sketchy Thursday

30
Sep
2 Comments

For today’s edition of “Sketchy Thursday” I asked some of our design team members to create a project based on this fabulous sketch by Valerie Salmon.   

Design team member Lisa Kisch created this heartfelt layout by flipping the sketch counterclockwise so that her half circle appears on the right side of her layout.  Here’s what Lisa had to say … “”I was inspired by the half moon shape in the sketch, and I loved the idea of using a blow up photo, plus a smaller accent photo. I wanted to use both patterns in the Twitterpated Delight paper, so first I cut a large half-circle shape on one side, then cut it off and flipped it over to place both patterns side by side. The flower accent on the bottom left was created by layering a Paper Flower and Metal Brad over one of the Chips. I love the texture it adds!”

Pebbles supplies used:
Twitterpated Delight (751001)
Twitterpated Sweet (751002)
Twitterpated Word Stickers (732002)
Twitterpated Metal Brads (744218)
Twitterpated Paper Flowers (741000)
Twitterpated Chips (744112)
Twitterpated Journaling Stickers (732003)
Chirpy ABC Stickers (732009)

Other supplies used:
Cardstock (American Crafts)

Thickers (American Crafts)
Floss (Bazzill Basics)
Circle Cutter (Creative Memories)

Design team member Deena Wuest created this absolutely adorable layout using lots of goodies from both our Twitterpated and Tree House collections.  Here’s what Deena had to say … “I love sketches. They cure that initial “Oh, dear – look at this blank white page” syndrome. They initiate the creative process then magically inspire to branch off and create something uniquely yours. I loved the unexpected circle element on the sketch but adapted it to create a free-flowing row of flowers to fit my layout. Positioning the green patterned paper vertically instead of horizontally instantly creates “stems” for the bed of flowers.”


Pebbles supplies used:
Tree House Club (751026)
Tree House Adventure (751032)
Twitterpated Chips (744112)
Tree House Paper Flowers (741002)
Chirpy ABC Stickers (7322009)
Charming Glitter ABC Stickers (732000)

Other supplies used:
Die Cut (Sizzix)

Design team member Ria Mojica really made the sketch her own on this fun layout.  Here’s what Ria had to say … “I love how the Twitterpated collection is girly but not too much that I can’t include my son in the photos because of the brown.   Because I used two 4×6 photos instead of the recommended 5×7 (or two 3.5 x 5 photos), I decided to let go of the circle shape in the bottom of the page in favor of a large rectangular block.  Instead of a 3rd circular photo, I used the space for the title.  I love love love the candy dots – they’re the easiest to use to add accents and look so yummy I actually want to eat them up!  I doodled the scallops on the brown cardstock to lighten up the brown and make the whole layout look more fun.”

Dear Pebbles

Welcome to another “Dear Pebbles” post here on the Pebbles blog.  Today we are featuring cards created by some of our design team members using their favorite Pebbles products.

First up is design team member Melinda Spinks.  I have to admit I think I squealed out loud a bit when I saw these cute pop up cards sitting in my email inbox.  Are they not cute or what?  Here’s what Melinda had to say … “I decided to have a play with a ‘pop-up’ technique after watching my son read one of his  books and take great delight in lifting each page to reveal a wonderful ‘pop-up’ surprise! So it got me thinking …  how cool would it be to have a nice surprise waiting for the recipient when they opened their card.  The Twitterpated collection has such a gorgeous colour palette and so many different papers that I had no trouble at all mixing and matching to make these two simple yet elegant cards …  and not to mention that extra ‘reveal’ on the inside.”

For today’s “How To Tuesday” post design team member Natalie Dever shows us how to create a super cute gift box.  Here are Natalie’s step by step instructions …

First, cut your patterned paper to 8 1/2 x 11.

Then position your paper lengthwise and score at 2, 5, 7 and 10 inches.

Next turn your paper and score at 2 inches.  Cut the score lines at 2, 5, 7 and 10 inches up to the 2 inch score mark, and cut off smallest piece (this will be the bottom of your bag).

Use a bone folder or scor-pal tool and crease all score lines.  Apply adhesive to small side flap, and adhere together.

Tuck in bottom flaps and adhere closed.

Decorate as desired.

Happy Monday everyone!  Today’s post is all about mixing and matching as some of our talented design team members show you how well all of our Pebbles collections work together.

First up is design team member Zoe Nemburt combines the Tree House and Twitterpated collection “perfectly” on her sweet layout.  Here’s what Zoe had to say … “I Love both the Twitterpated and Tree House collections, I had so much fun mixing them up for today’s project.  I used lots of yellows and browns from Twitterpated and mixed them with the greens and reds from the Tree House collection – I love how they match together.”

Pebbles supplies used:

Design team member Kryssi Ng created this adorable door hanger for her daughter’s room using both the Tree House and Twitterpated collections.  Here’s what Kryssi had to say … “I find that toddlers tend to follow picture cues better than verbal instructions. I needed a way to communicate to my 4 year old to keep quiet while her little sister is napping. Shushing and coaxing her out of the room did not work because our hush hush battle would wake the baby up. With a door sign, she will know it’s quiet time, hopefully without me saying a word!”

Last but certainly not least design team member Suzanne Sergi created this perfectly sweet card using the Twitterpated and Tree House collections.  Here’s what Suzanne had to say … “Tree House meets Twitterpated, and it is a perfect combination! One of the things I love about Pebbles products is that their color palettes are an exact match. I know I have mentioned it before, but it does make it so easy to create projects! The yellows and greens in both of these collections were exact. It was so easy to mix paper and embellishments within the collections. It really helped me to create this fun and vibrant card! This card was created in less than 30 minutes! Thanks to the 3×3 cards with an assortment of sentiments to choose from! Okay, let us not forget Pebbles ribbon! Have you used it? I was so happy to see a replenishment of these beautiful trims in our designer box! Love, love their ribbon!”

Design team member Christa Paustenbaugh shows just how versatile our Tree House collection can be with this winter themed layout.  Here’s what Christa had to say … “I know the Tree House collection is thought of by a lot of scrappers as a more spring and summer line, but I thought it worked great for these winter photos as well!  With the white background the bold colors make the photos pop!”

Tree House Club (751026)

And finally design team member Stephanie Baxter created this beautiful nature themed layout.  Here’s what Stephanie had to say … “I took this photo of this little baby deer in a beautiful park near where I live and as soon as I printed it out I knew I wanted to use the Tree House collection … the colours and patterns are just perfect for it! I love the decorative strips on the bottom of the patterned papers so I kept the one on the background paper and just trimmed a bit off the top to make it 12×12. I used another one from a different sheet below my photo … I just couldn’t resist those owls … they’re so cute!”
