Dye Wood Veneer Shapes

21
Sep
2 Comments

Hello everyone! I’m Eva Pizarro and today I want to show you how you can dye your wood veneer shapes to use on your next projects.

I love wood shapes because they add a homey feel to my layouts and mini albums. The original color is great but why not change and customize it with your tools?

For this quick tutorial I am using 3 different supplies: watercolors, mists, and pigment ink.

Layout by @evapizarrov using the #woodveneer shapes from the #Harvest collection by @pebblesinc

To dye with watercolors, put a big drop of water on your color and then paint your wood veneer. The brush must be really wet otherwise your paint will leave a saturated spot on your wood veneer.

To dye with your mist, just put one or two drops directly on your shape and quickly spread it with a brush.

To use your inks, just rub the brush directly over your shape.

And here are the different results!

I used these shapes to make a layout. Here in Chile we celebrate our national holiday the 18th of September. It is a big celebration, and as a family we always make a traditional latin dish called “empanadas.” I used to make them with my dad, who passed away a few years ago. Every time I make these I remember him.

I put my wood veneers in a little cluster with the “thinking of you” tag.

I also used some of the dimensional stickers that you find in this collection.

For my title I used the Thickers from the Cottage Living collection.

And behind the photo, I included a recipe card with the recipe hoping that someday my son will continue this tradition.

Hello Pebbles fans, Becki here, to share with you a card set I created using the brand new DIY Home collection. This collection is fabulous for creating cards. There are so many elements that are the perfect size for cards.

Handmade cards created by @jbckadams (Becki Adams) for @Pebblesinc using the DIY Home collection by @tatertotsandjello

I chose to work with the 3×3 Minc card set. With these 3×3 cards this set of 3 Thank You cards came together in minutes. I also used stickers, patterned paper, Thickers, and the Minc machine.

Hello Pebbles Inc Fans!  Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing an easy  DIY Wood Tag Decor gift idea that just happens to be made with the new DIY Home collection by Jen Hadfield. This is Jen’s newest collection and I swear, her collections just keep getting better!

Wood Tag made with the @pebblesinc DIY Home collection from @jenhadfield by @ribbonsandglue

I found this wood tag at Hobby Lobby and thought it would be adorable with a clip attached to hold a photo or message.  As I was digging though the DIY Home collection, I happened to find both, gold clips and a 3 x 3 cards that  I knew would look perfect displayed. Fate, right?

I painted the natural wood tag with some chalk paint I had laying around which also happened to match perfectly. Fate, again!

DIY Minc

The DIY Home collection includes  3×3 Minc Foil Cards that I ran through the Minc with teal foil.  Seriously, the Heidi Swapp’s Minc is super easy and so fun!

I attached a gold clip on to the tag with strong adhesive then wrapped a piece of the DIY Home Washi Tape Strips around the bottom.

Since I thought the wood  tag needed something more, I adhered a few gold foil stickers on to it.

The 3 x 3 Foil Cards includes a variety of unique saying and icons.   It was hard to choose just one so I ran a couple cards through the machine.

Hi, Renee here today to share a step-by-step tutorial of a couple of Thank You cards I made using Jen Hadfield’s DIY Home…another beautiful collection!  Gorgeous collection!

Thank You cards by @reneezwirek using the #JHDIYHome and #JHHomeMade collections by @PebblesInc. and @Tatertots and Jello .com

Here’s the first card.

I started by trimming a 12″ x 12″ piece of AC cardstock down to two 5.5″ x 8″ pieces and folded them in half.  With the first card, I added a few strips of Sticky Thumb Double-Sided Tape.

I added a 3 3/8″ x 5.5″ piece of Quotables pattern paper to the card with a .75″ x 5.5″ strip of Brush Strokes pattern paper under it.  The stripes peek out just over .25″.

I added machine stitching around the card.

I used my Heidi Swapp Minc machine to add gold foil to a DIY Home Minc “Thank You” Card. So pretty!

Thank You cards by @reneezwirek using the #JHDIYHome and #JHHomeMade collections by @PebblesInc. and @Tatertots and Jello .com

I used my die-cut machine, Styleboard Dies, and Ribbon Stripe pattern paper to make a bow embellishment for my card.  I used Sticky Thumb Sticky Flat Adhesive Dots to put my bow together.

Thank You cards by @reneezwirek using the #JHDIYHome and #JHHomeMade collections by @PebblesInc. and @Tatertots and Jello .com

I used a circle punch on the “Thank You” sentiment and layered a scalloped circle underneath it.  I added the bow…super cute card!  I love these colors and patterns together.  A bright and cheerful card.

Here’s the next card.  Just lovely!

…and a polka dot Minc 3″ x 3″ Card.

I had to add pretty fussy cut flowers to my card along with a “thanks” sentiment.Thank You cards by @reneezwirek using the #JHDIYHome and #JHHomeMade collections by @PebblesInc. and @Tatertots and Jello .com

For a finishing touch, I added a piece of leopard washi tape from the DIY Home Washi Paper.  Love the pattern, the strong stick, and that you can still see through the tape a bit to the pattern underneath.  Easy to use.

Daily Affirmations Frame

Hi y’all!  Amanda here today.  Whatever you are, be a good one.  Today is going to be awesome.  You are loved.  These are just a few of the uplifting phrases that can be found on journaling cards in Pebbles’ new DIY Home collection.  These are the types of words that I want displayed in my home on a daily basis.

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

Inspired by the wooden layered frame, I created a place where these phrases could be displayed all of the time.  I chose ultra feminine patterned papers and colors as I thought this would be perfect for my nine year-old daughter’s room.  How neat would it be to have your daughter (or grandaughter, or neice, etc.) read an inspiring new phrase as she gets ready for school every day?

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

Adding a gold clip to the frame makes it easy to swap out the message often.  You could even add your favorite photographs to the rotation.

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

There are so many uplifting and positive sayings in the DIY home collection.  The Happy Day cutouts with gold foil and the Quotables 12″x12″ are my favorite.  The 4″x4″ cards and 3″x4″ cards fit perfectly inside of the frame.  Add a  DIY Home Minc card to the frame for a lovely piece of decor.

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

Paint the edges of the frames with a coordinating gold paint before adhering paper or tape to the top of the frames.  The more gold the better!

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

Rather than breaking out the glitter (and making a huge mess), I used the gold glitter scallop tape to create a glittery frame.  It was so easy and I didn’t get one fleck of glitter in my contacts.

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

After painting the edge of your frame, adhere a piece of gold glitter scallop tape to the top of the frame, pressing down firmly on the tape as you go.

Daily Affirmations Frame by @amanda_coleman1 using DIY Home from @pebblesinc

Turn your frame over and trim any excess tape with a craft knife.  Repeat for all four sides of the frame.  TIP: Strategically place the scallops so the wider parts of the frame get covered evenly.

Wherever you go, go with all our heart.
Amanda
