Whip It Up Wednesday

May

“I am ever so slowly getting over my fear of cards and put those skills to use for this week’s Whip It Up Wednesday. To make sure I completed these in 30 minutes I stuck to the same general design for both-strips of paper down the middle of the card. A little stitching and a sentiment and they were done in no time and ready to be sent!” – Christa Paustenbaugh, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I am completely in love with the alphabet stickers in the Hip Hip Hooray collection. They are so fantastic and can really stand on their own when it comes to designing cards and layouts. For this set of cards I let the letter stickers take center stage in my designs. I popped them up with some dimensional adhesive for a little extra oomph.” – Lynn Ghahary, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Today I want to share an easy wedding present that won’t break the bank, but is classy and cute all rolled into one! We are going to take a wooden tray and create a cute wall hanging!” – Elizabeth Carney, Pebbles Design Team Member

First, you will need to spray paint the wooden tray to the desired color.

After the spray paint is dry, begin decorating. I adhered the Pebbles flowers and other flowers using a hot glue gun.

Cut papers to desired length. I cut the black piece that is my backing into a 5×8 piece. I also cut the other strips into 2.5×8 and 1.5×8 size. Adhere those onto wooden tray. Add ribbon using hot glue.

After your papers are adhered, add the upper flowers to wooden tray.

Once all embellishments are adhered, add the lettering (you can add whatever saying you’d like).

It’s Monday again, which means we’ll be mixing and matching some Pebbles products to show you just how well our collections can be used with one another.

“I’ve been seeing this twist on a chevron everywhere recently and wanted to try it out for myself! I pulled lots of bright, bold patterns from various Pebbles lines and they really compliment each other. I especially love that Hip Hip Hooray doesn’t have to be used for just birthdays- like that cute ‘Yippie!’ sticker.” – Ashley Stephens, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love mixing various Pebbles line, so I was excited to be working on this assignment. For this layout I used 5 different lines, I love the soft effect they produced together. When I mix pattern paper I look for patterns and colors that compliment each other and I often add a touch of yellow, which I find ties all the color together. Happy mixing!” – Mel Blackburn, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Flowers are a fun and versatile embellishment to add to any page. For this assignment, I thought it would be interesting to create a layout that included a lot of flowers without the flowers taking over. I enjoy the confetti trend and thought I could do something similar using flowers. I put my flower punch to work and used a tone-on-tone look.” – Sarah Webb, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love fresh flowers but it’s hard to find them during the winter so I decided to create a small bouquet of paper flowers. I used the Country Picnic collection because I love the shades of pink and green. To embellish the centers I used candy dots, super easy because they have adhesive on the back! The steams are made with straws covered with floral tape. Use a ribbon or a vase to hold them and bring the spring into your house!” – Eva Pizarro, Pebbles Design Team Member

“My stylized flowers were inspired by the embellishments on a pair of shoes I own. I knew the fresh, springy colors of the Country Picnic & Hip Hip Hooray lines would lend themselves well to this interpretation of them. To make them I simply punched circles in a variety of sizes and patterns, scored them down the center and stacked them. I used them in sets of three to make a flower and finished them off with a wood button. The white background and red twine complement the bright, fresh color of the two lines.” – Valerie Mangan, Pebbles Design Team Member
