Hello Pebbles fans! It’s Eva Pizarro here today, showing you how to use your washi tape to add a fun element to your Sunshiny Days layout.

One of my favorite embellishments from the Sunshiny Days collection are the narrow washi tapes. You can use them to decorate your planner, make frames, embellish Project Life cards, or — as I did on my layout — create a shape. The possibilities for washi tape are endless, and many shapes can be created using the fun patterns matched with a correlating patterned paper. With the Sunshiny Days collection, I thought what better pattern to create than a sun!

I created a sun to use as a background for my picture. Begin by cutting a circle from one of the patterned papers.

Mark the center of your circle and attach the washi tape strips, creating sun beans.

Don’t worry if your circle is not perfectly round, once you add the embellishments you won’t even notice!

To finish the layout I added a cute journaling card and some die cuts. The designs are perfect for your pool, beach, or summer photos! I love the flamingos, they are super cute and add flair to any page!

The washi tape pattern makes the sunbeans pop, while the sun draws the eye of the viewer right to the photo!

As a final touch, I added some epoxy stickers here and there. I hope you enjoyed this tip about using your washi tape stash to make something beautiful! What other ways do you utilize spare washi tape in your projects? Comment below and share your layout and washi tape tips.

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here. Are you ready for Summer? I know I’m ready for some warmer weather and lazy Summer days! I dove into the Sunshiny Days collection to create an awesome DIY Summer Centerpiece that I know you’ll love. This is such a fun, easy project.

Begin by cutting 3 of your favorite patterned papers from the Sunshiny Days collection into 3 1/2 inch squares. Then, cut from the corner of each square, 3/4 of the way into the center of the square. After cutting toward the center of the square from each corner, gently bend (don’t crease) every other point into the center and secure each piece with a little bit of adhesive.After bending the square into the pinwheel shape, pierce the center with a paper piercer; place a brad in the hole.

After creating all 3 pinwheels, adhere them to paper straws. Next, embellish the small circle vase with a few die cuts as a finishing touch. I couldn’t be happier with this DIY Summer centerpiece.

Creating the centerpiece was fun and easy. Now, if we could just get a little warmer weather so I can have a fun outdoor summer party and use this fun centerpiece. What summer party plans do you have?

Pretty Floral Cards With The Simple Life Collection

Hi Pebbles friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing this set of pretty floral cards I created with the brand new “Simple Life” collection!  Sometimes after making pretty card fronts, I choose to add a little something extra to the inside of my cards.  When you have gorgeous coordinating products, it’s easy to add a little personality to the inside so it will match the outside as well!  Let me walk you through the process of making one of these happy floral cards.Create these pretty floral cards inside and out by following the tutorial by @Wendysue with the new "Simple Life" collection by @pebblesinc.

Of course, the first thing you need to do is gather the supplies:

Create these pretty floral cards inside and out by following the tutorial by @Wendysue with the new "Simple Life" collection by @pebblesinc.

The yellow floral piece is 4″ x 5 1/4″ and the black sketched piece is about 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ – I used a steel die to cut the black piece with the faux stitching, but you could opt to add machine stitching or just cut a regular rectangle.

The pretty script paper block is about 1 3/4″ x 4″ – add it to the left side of the layered piece.

Use a small circle punch to cut little notches near the top and bottom right of the script piece.  This will act as an anchor for the twine and keep it from slipping back and forth after it’s tied on!

Place a floral die-cut or sticker in the bottom left corner.

Now tie some twine around the piece and tie a bow.

Place a wood word as shown:

And place the entire piece on the front of a gray 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card base.

And now for the inside!  Cut a piece of cream cardstock to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and place on the inside of the card.

Place a sentiment sticker right in the center.

Hello, Renee here today to share a Seed Packet Quick Gift using the Jen Hadfield Simple Life collection and the We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board.  These seed packets make perfect gifts for the people in your life with green thumbs.

Create the perfect simple gift for those family members and friends with a green thumb with this Seed Packet Quick Gift by @reneezwirek using the #SimpleLife collection by @pebblesinc and @Tatertots and Jello .com

I started with the We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board to create envelopes.  I trimmed the Growing Floral, Garden Tools, and Rose Gold Foiled Vellum (pictured below) papers to 7″ squares.  I followed the instructions to create 3 ¾” x 5″ envelopes.  I trimmed off a couple of the corners to make them into packets.

After I adhered the seed packets together, I added the seeds.

I trimmed a few of the 3″ x 4″ cards from the Spring Seeds pattern paper and adhered them to the front of the seed packets.

I wrote the names of the flower seeds that I put inside the packets on the back of these phrase tags.

Green Hemp Twine was used to tie the phrase tags to the seed packets.

Tealightful Spring Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Monique here today, sharing a couple of cards created for this week’s “outdoor” theme. I used Pebbles’  Tealightful collection to create these darling Spring cards, which are perfect for so many occasions.

I adore the little illustrations/cards from the Tea Party sheet, and decided to cut them apart and for my cards. With a bit of patterned paper, some string, and enamel dots, the cards were ready in no time at all! I gathered everything I thought I would need, including a piece of white American Crafts cardstock measuring 12″x 4.5″ for the base of my 6″x 4.5″ card:

First, I matted the little cards I cut from the Tea Party sheet onto a piece of white cardstock. Then, I wound a piece of string around twice before matting on two different patterned papers. After adhering the four layers of paper on the white cardstock base, I quickly used my sewing machine to add a stitched line around inside Tea Party card. Finally, I adhered the project on to the cardstock base, doodled a black line all around, and added three enamel dots. These instructions apply all three cards.

How I adore the Tealightful collection! The outdoor papers, die-cuts, images, and stickers, along with the tea related papers and die-cuts, are super cute. This collection is definitely one of my very favorite Pebbles collections and is incredibly versatile to use in crafting.
