Black and White Layout

Hi everyone! I’m Eva Pizarro and today I’m going to show you how you can use the beautiful Thirty-One Collection from Pebbles to do a non-Halloween themed layout.

I love Halloween, but here in Chile we are just starting to celebrate this holiday and because I don’t have kids yet I really don’t have any themed photos to scrap! Looking at the entire collection though, I noticed that it had great patterns and a lot of them weren’t themed. So I thought I could use it for any kind of layout!

To start, I cut strips of paper from a grey and a black paper.

I drew diagonal lines and divided my layout in 4. Then I started gluing the strips of paper, making sure they were perpendicular.

After I finished one color I started with the other one.

Then I included my title and a cluster of stickers and embellishments under my photo.

The stickers in this collection are beautiful and for the layering technique you can cut them in half and glue them so you can only see the borders.

Anna and Elsa Layout

Hello, Pebbles Fans!  It’s Renee Zwirek here today to share a step-by-step tutorial of my layout using the Thirty-One collection.  I am especially excited for this Halloween.  My girls are dressing up as Anna & Elsa from the popular and loved Disney Frozen movie!  I wondered how I was going to combine the Thirty-One collection with my Frozen-themed photo. I was inspired by this image I found on Pinterest.

I started with white cardstock and added the Enchanted paper with adhesive.  I then added and machine stitched snowflake borders to the remainder of the page.

Here’s a close-up of the pretty snowflake borders that I stitched to the page.

I added foam dots to my photo and the very bottom of my layers of pattern papers.

Now that my layers are done, I can add my title and embellishments.

I added my title and more snowflakes with glitter candy dot centers.

I love the script font of this “Happy Halloween” Chalkboard Label sticker!  I fussy-cut some flowers from the Mystical pattern paper and added them within the layers around my photo.  I added some pretty Icicle Zazz! Glitter Glue to the centers of the flowers.  So pretty and sparkly!

The girls can’t wait to go Trick-or-Treating in their costumes.  So, I added this great sticker along a snowflake border.

Here’s my finished layout!  I really enjoyed making this one.  This is such a wonderful Halloween collection!

I also wanted to share the Anna & Elsa (and Olaf) page I added to my Halloween Costumes O’Fl!p Album!  This album is a perfect and simple way to gather your Halloween costume memories.  My girls love flipping through it to see all the adorable costumes they have worn through the years.  I have to admit that this year is one of my all-time favorites!

Halloween Layout with Circle Tutorial

Hello there!  It’s Mendi popping in today with a Halloween layout featuring a fun circle background (inspired by a sketch found here).  Loopy circles are all the rage whether they are created by looping some thread under an embellishment or using a die-cut like the one I created here.  Read on to learn out how you can design your own too!

Halloween Layout featuring Circle Background created by Mendi Yoshikawa using the #Thirty-One collection from @PebblesInc. @SnippetsByMendi

Within the Silhouette software create a 10-inch circle and then offset it by .1 inch.  Selecting both shapes, right click on your mouse and chose the “make compound path” option (I created temporary blocks to represent my photos just to get an idea of how big I would need my circle to be).

Next duplicate the circle three times and overlap them randomly in each direction, making sure they all overlap with each other and don’t exceed the width of your cutting mat.   With all four circles selected, go to the “modify” window and select the “weld” option.  Your four circles will now be one continuous shaped to cut from the cardstock or patterned paper of your choice.

I wasn’t sure which colors I wanted to use so to help me decide and save valuable paper, I chose to use the fill color option to play with my different options.  When I was certain, I cut it out and applied it to my layout using a liquid glue pen.  I had to work quickly and it was a tad wobbly to flip over onto my background so I ended up needing a little adhesive eraser where it landed in the wrong spot, but it otherwise worked beautifully.

To embellish my layout I turned to some of the darling stickers from Pebbles Thirty-One collection to create a little scene.

I love the chalkboard labels from this collection!  I popped up my label and several of the stickers with some foam tape for some extra depth.

The Chalkboard Black Chipboard Thickers from the Birthday Wishes are a perfect match for this collection.  I love mixing my fonts so I paired them with a stamp to give my title a little variety.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create your own circle background.

Hello Pebbles Inc. Fans! Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing a Spooky Book Card Box made from the Pebbles Inc. Thirty-One Collection and my Silhouette.

Spooky Book Box made with @pebblesinc Thirty One collection by @ribbonsandglue

I love old books and I’m always on the look out for unique ones at vintage stores. Old books really do have a spooky feel and are great to use as Halloween props. The Thirty-One collection inspired me to make my own spooky book using a 3D Book of Spells Gift Card Box cut file from Snapdragon Snippets.

After I cut out and assembled the base of the book, I  chose to embellished the front of the book with stickers from the Thirty-One Phrase and Accents Sticker pack .

Since this Spooky Book is really a Card Box, I left a Spooky treat and message inside using a Thirty-One Chalkboard Sticker.
