Handmade Hello Cards

Mini envelopes make a great embellishment. We love the way Laura Craigie has incorporated them into her cheerful handmade hello cards.

Mini Envelopes

I’ve always loved the mini envelopes by Pebbles, and while I love using them as intended, I also love using them as an embellishment. So I decided to make two cards today using supplies from the Garden Party line, and used two different envelopes, one on each card.

For my first card I adhered it to the card upside down, and added a patterned paper liner to the inside flap of the envelope.  It was a great way to ground all the other embellishments and sentiment I added to my card.

My second card again uses the envelope as an embellishment, and I added a tag that looks like it’s popping out as the base for my sentiment made with those pretty floral thickers.

There are some things that you can just count on in a Pebbles Inc. line, like mini envelopes. They’re the perfect size and soooo cute! This week we’re sharing mini envelope inspiration. Designer Eva Pizarro is kicking things off with a beautiful baby-themed envelope mini album.

I love the Mini Envelopes from Pebbles, you can use them to leave cute notes to someone you care, include them on your projects and also use them as pages for a mini album.

With Father’s Day right around the corner, we’re having a lot of fun pulling together last-minute cards and gifts for Dad. Today, Designer Suzanna Lee is sharing a couple of fun handmade Father’s Day cards that she’s made for the men in her life…

FATHER'S dAYHi there! Suzanna here from Life’s Trivialities to share with you a  Father’s Day gift bag and card. Have you seen Pebbles’ newest collection, Birthday Wishes? It’s bright, colorful and celebratory! And it’s just perfect for celebrating all those fantastic father’s out there too! Nothing says I love you better than homemade and here’s how you can quickly turn those birthday goodies into something for Dad!

Handmade Father's Day cards created by @suzlee72 using the @PebblesInc #BirthdayWishes collection #handmade #cards #FathersDayI know, I know, I know; there ought to be an apostrophe between the ‘r’ and ‘s’ in Father’s! But when your gadget doesn’t have an apostrophe, one must risk the grammar police and their criticisms. If it makes you feel better, on my first run of this project, I did leave a space for the apostrophe but the sticker looked worse than not having it at all. And, our Daddy won’t mind!

Simple right?!

It’s as easy as removing and inserting a punched piece of white cardstock. Jazz up the button a tad and add some pennants from your scraps.

Father’s Day Mini Album

Father’s Day is right around the corner…Looking for one last gift idea? Be sure to check out Juliana Michaels‘ fun Father’s Day mini album.

FATHER'S dAY

My Dad has always loved it when I make him a card or gift and until recently, I had no idea how much he loved it. Over the years, he has kept every single card I have ever given or made him. Of course, since I started paper crafting and scrapbooking they have all been hand made. During my last visit to see him, he showed all of them to me. It was so sweet to see how much he had treasured them!

As he was showing me all the cards and things he had saved, he pulled out a mini album that I had made him years ago. It made me realize that he is long over due for a new one and I knew exactly what I wanted to make him for Father’s Day this year. To create the mini album, I started with a chipboard base and covered the front and back cover with burlap. I recommend cutting a piece slightly larger than the area you want to cover, adhering it with liquid glue or a hot glue gun and then trimming the excess. Once it is glued in place and trimmed to size, add a little more liquid glue to the edges to keep it from fraying.

Next, I selected a variety of patterned papers from the Americana collection to cover the inside pages. To help make things coordinate, I covered facing pages with the same paper. After selecting my photos, I matted all of them on white cardstock and began decorating the pages with pieces of patterned paper, die cuts and other flat embellishments.

For some of the embellishments, I fussy cut flowers from the Americana Liberty paper. I also used the quotes printed on the From Me to You Notes paper to embellish the front cover and to fill the die cut frames.

On the last page, I added a library pocket and card, which I will use to write a little note to my Dad and tell him just how much I love him!

Father’s Day Scrapbook Layout

How many layouts do you dedicate to dad? We love this very special Father’s Day Scrapbook Layout created by Designer Emily Spahn.

FATHER'S dAYThere is nothing more special than the moment that you meet your brand new baby for the first time…
As mothers, we often are the first to hold the baby…in this case I think I held my son for a full two hours before I let him go and his Daddy got to officially “meet” him. Watching my husband hold his newborn son was amazing. They way he just stared at his precious little face and kisse his tiny head makes my heart melt.  I wanted to celebrate that with this layout. While it may not be your typical “Father’s Day” layout, it was this special moment with all of our children that made him a Father!

I used products from three different Pebbles lines in this layout, including elements from the new Birthday Wishes collection. While these probably aren’t the “birthday” images they had in mind while creating this line, I loved the addition of the little snippets of black and wanted them to be a part of this layout!

I love mixing color and pattern and even though these are three very distinct collections (Americana, Birthday Wishes, and Special Delivery) they work well together to create a fun monochromatic Father’s Day layout.
