Hello Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro on the blog today sharing a quick tutorial on how to make a banner and some quick favors for your next party

Decorate your next party with a handmade banner and favors using the new My Bright Life from @pebblesinc. Project by @evapizarrov

I think it is fun to decorate kid’s parties but I also love to include some handmade details for our parties with friends. The new “My Bright Life” collection it is perfect for your next party. The patterns are great for any occasion and there are several “thank you” sentiments in the line!

To create the banner I cut some 4 x 3,5 inch squares and created a banner using my Banner Punch Board.

On top of the papers I glued a 3,5 x 1 3/4 inch white cardstock strip, I used a dotted cardstock by Bazzill to add a fun texture!

I cut the Happy Day phrase on my electronic cutting machine and added the letters with some foam dots.

I used a yellow string to put together my banner. This banner is very simple and it would work with any party theme!

I also made some easy favors. I simply put some homemade cookies inside a kraft bag, used the same yellow thread to close them and added stickers and die cuts to decorate.

15 minute “Land That I Love” Birthday Banner Project!

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne here today sharing an easy birthday banner project that you can adapt for any celebration! And even better, this super cute, 15 minute project will make any birthday boy or girl smile at the effort you’ve gone to.

Birthday Banner using @PebblesInc Land That I Love

Let’s get started by gathering your supplies.

I’ve chosen to use the Land That I Love collection. With its bold and bright primary colours, it is a perfect choice to help celebrate my youngest child’s 9th birthday today. Choose your favourite patterned papers and the mini alphabet punch board by We R Memory Keepers.

step 1. Trim the patterned paper to size – 5.5″x3″. Cut enough pieces to be able to display each letter in your sentiment – “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”.

step 2. Score a fold line at the top of the paper piece, 1.5″ down or at 4″ from the bottom.

step 3. Mark the center at the top of the paper piece with a pencil and trim an angle from this point to the fold line. Repeat on the other side.

step 4. Trim a small notch from the bottom of each paper piece and fold over the top.

Once you have all the birthday banner paper pieces, lay them out and arrange next to each other to prevent any pattern clashes or doubles.

step 5. To create the sentiment for your 15 minute birthday banner, trim off-cut pieces of patterned paper to size – 1.5″x2.5″. Coordinate each piece with one of the banner parts.

step 6. Following the instructions from the punchboard manual, create the alphas for the birthday banner.

step 7. Adhere the alphas to the banner paper pieces and measure a length of twine or string to sit under the fold. Once you are happy with the placement, add a small amount of adhesive to the point of the fold over and secure.

step 8. For simple embellishment, add two puffy dot stickers to the top of each corner to complete your birthday banner.

All that is left to do now, is to hang the banner and celebrate your loved one’s special day! Happy crafting..x

15 Minute Layout with Land That I Love……

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Amanda here, with a super quick but oh so stunning, scrapbook layout with the gorgeous Land That I Love collection! I was so excited when I read this week’s theme for the blog – 15 minute craft ideas! I set my timer and challenged myself with this one! Here’s what I created….

“Happy”

Oh isn’t this gorgeous?!!

I know, how did I make this in 15 minutes? Let me tell you……

Start by fussy cutting approximately one third of pattern paper, PATRIOTIC BLOSSOMS. I’m not going to lie, this took me a solid 7 minutes, but the rest of the layout is so quick it can still be created in the 15 minute time frame. If you’re a slower fussy cutter you may want to prepare your cut blossoms a day before 😉

While your trusty scissors are handy, trim the reverse side of pattern paper HAPPY 4TH! The size is 2″ x 12″ and be sure to include the red gingham pattern strip at the base of the paper.

Attach the 2″ trim to the left hand side of a 12″ x 12″ white cardstock base. Glue a 12″ length of delicate white lace over the paper join – as shown above.  While it’s adhering, prepare your photograph!

Back your photo with a PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES blossom & a lace doily. This doily will act as a circular guide for the fussy cut wreath. Line up your photo with the center of the trim and stick down with foam dots.

 

Arrange fussy cut blossoms in the wreath design, leaving two ‘breaks’ in the wreath. When happy, glue into place.

Fill those wreath ‘breaks’ with PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES and 6 x 12 ACCENT STICKERS birds.

Embellish the blossoms wreath with PUFFY STICKERS: RED, WHITE & BLUE DOTS…..

Apply 6 x 12 blossom ACCENT STICKERS to the top and bottom right hand corners of the layout. Add a Thickers  title (happy) and for finishing touches, add tiny silver Thickers stars to the wreath.

Sigh! SO preeeeeeetty!

Here’s a few close ups for you…..

The lace really adds a soft touch to this crisp color scheme!

Those silver America Thickers are just fabulous! SO cool!

And there you have it!

Simple, sweet and in my album in just 15 minutes! Yessss!

Memory keeping doesn’t need to take you hours. I urge you to give this super quick layout design a try!

Thanks so much for visiting today,

til next time,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo
