DIY Fall Welcome Sign

23
Sep
Leave a Comment

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here. Fall is officially here!! I’m so excited to share this DIY Fall welcome sign I created using the Warm & Cozy collection. To me this collection is cabins, quilts, flannel shirts, and a huge cup of hot chocolate. I wanted to create something that looked like a quilt for this welcome sign.  I started by cutting a lot of hexagons from scraps that I had from previous projects from the Warm & Cozy collection. I used a large punch but you could use an electronic die cut machine, manual die cut machine, or a template.

I used a 5×7 frame so I adhered the hexagons to a piece of 5×7 cardstock. Then I stitched around each hexagon with my sewing machine. This step took a lot of time. I questioned if this step was worth it, but it really was worth it!

I think this detailed step made a HUGE difference in the final project. I LOVE the detail of the stitching.

I added the “welcome” sentiment with foam adhesive. I did have to cut some of the foam adhesive so they would fit under the “welcome” sticker.DIY Fall Welcome Sign by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc using the Warm & Cozy collection by @tatertotsandjello #DIY #FALL #Fallhomedecor #pebblesinc #warmandcozy

Here’s the final product! I can’t wait to display this DIY Fall welcome sign with the rest of my Fall home decor. I love the quilted background. It’s the perfect touch for any Fall home decor.

I added foam adhesive to make the “welcome” pop off the background but you could easily place the sticker right on the background and place sign behind a piece of glass in a frame. Even with all the machine stitching I had this project done in less than an hour. What Fall projects are you working on with the Warm & Cozy collection? You should try creating DIY Fall Welcome sign.

Warm & Cozy Layout

It’s no secret around here that I LOVE autumn, so this Warm & Cozy collection is one of my all-time favorites!  I love the blues and greens mixed with the oranges, yellows, and browns.  Plus the quotes and fonts used for the typography are absolutely gorgeous!  I combined some of my favorites from this collection, including the foiled stickers and die-cuts to create a warm & cozy layout of my own!  I pulled out an older photo from my stash – probably my favorite fall photo of my kids (which reminds me, we need to go up the canyon and take more fall photos this year)!  Here’s a look at my finished layout:

Machine stitching adds a touch of “warm & cozy” to any paper project.  I used some vintage orange thread and a long straight stitch around the edges of some of the patterned papers:

Buttons are another go-to item for adding a special cozy touch.  Remember to create a visual triangle with embellishments!

The rub-ons are another fun embellishment – I added the gold branches to the left of the title here:

As always, using foam adhesive behind some of the elements adds a subtle bit of texture and interest.

Don’t forget to add some twine for a finishing touch!  I tied a bow below the photo, and tied it through some of the buttons too.

Curling the top of the “cozy” card is another subtle touch of texture.

Happy Birthday Pillow Boxes

Hi there!  Renee here to share some quick and simple Happy Birthday Pillow Boxes using the Warm & Cozy collection and the We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board.  We celebrate quite a few fall birthdays and they will be coming up soon.  So, I thought I would make some gift card holders to give to family members for their birthdays.  The size of these holders are perfect for gift cards.  I can even place cash inside them along with some favorite treats.

Create perfect gift card holders for fall birthdays with these Happy Birthday Pillow Boxes by @reneezwirek using the #pbwarmandcozy collection by @pebblesinc and @Tatertots and Jello .com

I started by trimming the Cozy Quotes, Star Mosaic, and Cozy Comfort pattern papers to 6″ x 6″ squares.

  1. I used the Pillow Box Punch Board and followed the instructions to prepare my gift card holders.
  2. I added Double-Sided Super Sticky Red Tape to the tabs of each box.
  3. I folded along all the scored lines and adhered all of the boxes onto themselves.
  4. I embellished the boxes with animal Die-Cuts, Chipboard Leaves and Hemp Twine, and Happy Birthday sentiment Stickers.

Before I tied the leaves to the boxes, I punched tiny holes in the leaves using my Crop-A-Dile II Big Bite Punch.  I love this sweet hedgehog Die-Cut!

Warm & Cozy Cards with Foil Accents

Hi everyone! It’s Monique on the blog today sharing two Warm & Cozy cards with fun foil accents.

A little while ago I got a Heatwave Foil Pen from our sister company We R Memory Keepers and I couldn’t wait to use it! While creating the Warm & Cozy cards for today’s blog post I realized that this was the perfect opportunity to give the Heatwave Pen a try. The colors and beautiful designs of this collection are perfect to add some extra foil accents to. Here’s what I created:

The Heatwave Pen came with a couple of foil sheets and I also got some fun templates for it. I used the top template (Script) for both my cards and chose a red and a gold sheet of foil.

The cards I created measure 4″ x 6″ and 6″ x 4″ and have a white cardstock base and two layers of patterned paper. Before adhering the patterned papers to my cardstock base I added the pennants and machine stitched along the outer edge of the top paper. Now I was ready to add the foil accents. Here’re a few photos how I did this: I used some washi tape to (temporarily) adhere my papers, template and foil to my cutting mat, so everything would stay in one place while foiling:

Because the foil pen becomes very hot you need a cutting mat or a glass plate as a working surface. The foil pen can be held just like you would a normal pen and without adding a lot of pressure you just follow the template.

It’s very easy and I really like the result! Next I adhered the papers to the white cardstock base and I added a few embellishments. Here’s a closer look at the cards. On this card you can see what the gold foil looks like:

And on this card you can see the red foil:

I really like the extra texture the foil gives!

Hope you like my Warm & Cozy cards! I can’t wait to see what you’ll do with this collection!

A mini album gift for the whole Family.

Hello Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne here today and I am excited to share with you a “special moment’s” mini album, expressing the little details that make me feel so blessed. This mini album is really a gift for the whole family. It lets them see how much I cherish them and the moments we have together. The new Woodland Forest collection has helped me bring my ideas to fruition with all the warmth of an autumnal colour palette.

Create a mini album with all those various special moments photos that don’t always get used thanks to @PebblesInc and @leanne_allinson using the #WoodlandForestcollection.

I really love mini albums that have lots of interesting details that hint at what’s to come once the pages are turned. The Woodland Forest Ephemera Die-cuts are perfect for creating this look where bits and pieces overlap and layer throughout the album.

Create a mini album with all those various special moments photos that don’t always get used thanks to @PebblesInc and @leanne_allinson using the #WoodlandForestcollection.

But before I start creating the pages, I needed to determine the size and shape of my mini.

Pebbles_Leanne Allinson_1

The main aim of my album is for it to be made up with random snapshots, using all those extra photos that don’t necessarily make it into pocket pages or onto scrapbooking layouts. But… the ones that still have special significance, just not those needed to help tell a story I’ve previously documented. I have more than a few stacks of these pre-printed photos, which of course have been printed out at different sizes.

But this is where the fun part begins! A 4.25”x4.25” cardstock base provides enough room to house all these odd dimensions.

Create a mini album with all those various special moments photos that don’t always get used thanks to @PebblesInc and @leanne_allinson using the #WoodlandForestcollection.

The cover was embellished by creating a 4”x4” frame, cut from patterned paper in the Woodland Forest mini 6”x6” paper pad and mounted on foam tape. The bow was made using the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board. I’ve also included the cute bunny die-cut ephemera piece, alongside fussy cut flowers.

The jump rings were added to the side of the album at the 1” and 3” marks.

The pages inside the mini album have been created using the Harvest Dies and then trimmed, keeping the recipe tab intact. Each page has then had a photo attached and embellishments built up around the image.

Here’s a look inside the completed album:

As you can see, each photo, regardless of size, has been embellished simply with coordinating paper, stickers and die-cut ephemera from the Woodland Forest collection. My excess photos now have a home among my growing collection of mini albums instead of floating loosely about my scrap space!

Surely, I’m not the only one who has extra photos printed out each time there’s temptation to create a new project!! And hopefully now I will be able to contain my extra snapshots with some semblance of cute organisation!
