Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today showing you how to create a quick and easy layout in just a few minutes using the new line Along the Way.

This new line is absolutely amazing, the colors are great and you can use it for girly layouts or scrap your everyday memories. The small golden alphas are one of my favorite embellishments, they are the perfect size for planners, minis or layouts.

To create this project I started by layering the foundations of my layout. I added a piece of paper in the middle of my page and a strip at the bottom. Tip: I always use my Square Guide to make sure my papers are perfectly aligned.

Next, I added a few flowers on the opposites sides of my paper. Here’s another tip: Cut your die cut in half, and put just the tip behind your paper!

After that, I used my Stitch Happy to create a border for my layout and picked a few 2×2 inch squares from this lovely patterned paper.

I trimmed some 2×4 inch papers and scored them in half using my Mini Score Board. Next, I added the pictures on top.

The pictures open and I added a few sentiments about each one of my family members. To keep the pictures in place I used a few Word Stickers.

Finally, I added my title using the gorgeous golden thickers and a few 3d embellishments to give a bit more dimension.

And here’s the finished layout, the 2×2 squares really help me embellish quickly! Just a few clusters on each side of the page to add that finishing touch!

This collection is truly a must-have! What would you use it for? I am thinking my next project is going to be a mini album!

Along the Way with Guest Designer Laurel!

@laurelseabrook is on the Pebbles Inc blog today; be sure to take a peek at her lovely projects!

Hi everyone, Laurel here!  I am so excited to be a guest designer today! I have always loved Pebbles products and playing with them is so easy. I was given the Along the Way collection to create with and it was perfect for documenting some family moments as well as creating some cards.

First up, I dug right in to create some layouts. I love the colors and happy go lucky feel of the collection so I used it for documenting my grand daughter’s love for swinging. She would swing all day if I would push her.
My layout is pretty simple, but I always want the focus to be on the photos and in this case, that happy smiling face. I cut strips of paper and just layered them beside the paper, tucked in some ephemera and added stitching. I then stitched on some of the insect die cuts.

The next layout once again, involves using some paper strips. I used some of the ones left over from my first layout and went from there. I then tucked bits and pieces behind the photo, stitched and added a die cut. The die cut is mounted on foam squares.

I started creating traveler’s notebook pages as a form of memory keeping and am loving those! So quick and easy and such a great way to document special moments. In this case this is a photo of my mom and my grand daughter that I snapped one day. I love this photo for many reasons and had to scrap it. Some simple layering of the papers and ephemera made for a quick project. The tag has been cut in half with each half tucked in behind some of the papers. Finally, I added a stamped sentiment that captures the photo perfectly!

Next up, my cards. Once I have broken into a collection, I then like to use some of the smaller pieces to create cards. Once again, simple layering of papers and ephemera with some mounted on foam squares for dimension. I am a sucker for any check/plaid/gingham so I had to use that buffalo plaid on at least one project!

Quick and Easy “Along the Way” Cards

Leave a Comment

Do you know that feeling, when you see a new collection for the very first time, and you know exactly what you want to make first??  That’s what happened to me as soon as I saw the new “Along the Way” collection – I just knew I wanted to use these 6″ gold foil sticker sentiments to make some quick and easy cards!  Here’s a look at the first thing I made with this gorgeous new collection:

Quick and Easy Cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Along the Way" Collection by Jen Hadfield for @PebblesInc.

Isn’t it pretty?  I love the letters and the gold foiling and the fun coordinating papers!  I also did something a little different with this card – I used a black cardstock base!  I usually stick with white, simply because it’s easy to write on the inside.  Keep reading to see how I solved that little issue!  Here’s how this card came together:

I started by cutting the following items: a black card base (6″ x 4″), two coordinating patterned papers (5 3/4″ x 2″), one coordinating paper with a “less busy” pattern to place the letters on (6″ x 1 3/4″), and I gathered some printed die-cuts, gold foiled thickers, and dimensional stickers. I also cut a piece of white cardstock 5 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ – this is for the inside of the card.

Quick and Easy Cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Along the Way" Collection by Jen Hadfield for @PebblesInc.

Start by placing one of the 5 3/4″ strips on the card base with equal amounts of spacing above and on both ends.

Place the second patterned paper to cover the bottom portion of the card base – again, making sure the spacing is even.

Now place the third (less busy pattern) paper over the seam from the first two papers.  This paper is a bit wider, so it will go from edge to edge on the base.  I wanted to leave more space at the top for additional embellishments, so this paper is placed closer to the bottom.

Next, I tucked in two gold foiled and printed die-cuts near the right edge, slightly under the top patterned paper:

Now it’s time to add the beautiful sentiment:

Finally, place the dimensional sticker so it overlaps the sentiment slightly:

And now, to solve the issue of not being able to write on the inside of the black card – place the white cardstock on the inside:

And, just for fun, add a sticker as a little embellishment!

And the inside:

This has to be one of my favorite (and easiest) cards I’ve ever made! In fact, I loved it so much that I made two more almost exactly like it!

I know – you’re shocked, right?!?

These cards are so beautiful – yet so quick and easy – it would be easy to whip up a dozen with various sentiments to have on hand to give to special friends and family!

Spooky Boo Monster Crew!

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne here today sharing a family fun layout about our crazy cousin Monster Crew! My children absolutely adore their cousins. And as we don’t live very close to each other anymore, it’s always a big deal when we catch up. To us, family is really important whether we are small in numbers or not. However, our crowd, when all together, is not so small and you can imagine having nine cousins in one space can become somewhat of a monster task!

@PebblesInc #SpookyBooLayout fun with @Leanne_Allinson.

Halloween is not a holiday my family celebrates, but it won’t stop me using the gorgeous new Spooky Boo collection from Pebbles! This patterned paper range and cute die cuts were ideal for helping me document this family story. I love how versatile this collection is, especially when it comes to fussy cutting!

To recreate this Monster Crew page, gather the more neutral Spook Boo supplies and start to layer.

Initially I took inspiration from the colours and subjects in the photo. I also knew I wanted to create a layout using the cut apart tags Let’s Party patterned paper.

Off set the photo with one of the cut apart tags and then layer with a simple die cut ephemera strip. When using the patterned paper tags, I also love to punch the hole at the top of the tag, to create a layer of dimension. At the top of the layout, a second darker tag has been trimmed to help balance the white space on the page.

Title Work..

For the title I have selected contrasting block colours from the 6×6 Spooky Boo mini paper pad. Using an electronic die cutting machine, I have typed out  “Monster Crew”, making the word “crew” slightly smaller than “monster”.

When adhering the title to the layout, ensure the loops of the font overlap and appear intertwined. The word “crew” is mounted onto foam tape for extra dimension.

Above the title are two clusters of fussy cut flowers. These images create a visual triangle with the same image which is printed on the tag that has been used.

To complete the layout, layer several pieces of the die cut ephemera beneath the photo. Add foam tape to balance the height created in the title and hide any unwanted or messy space in the photo. For a final touch, machine stitch a simple border in orange thread around the outside edge and add a few splashes of black paint.

Thanks for visiting the Pebbles blog today. I hope you’ve gained some inspiration with using Spooky Boo on a non Halloween project!

Quick Halloween Tags with Terhi

Hello Pebbles fans! Hope you all are having a great day! Yesterday I had only fifteen minutes for making something with my hands, and I decided to do some super easy Halloween tags.

Halloween is not the most popular holiday here in Finland, but those funny spiders, dark black and bright orange are lifting my spirit to celebration mood! That’s why I wanted to have some Halloween tags ready to give away for friends, just to make their days as happy as mine.

 

The creating process is very simple.

Start by cutting out one of the Spooky Boo patterned papers (Spooky Boo “Eek” Patterned Paper) to tag shape. Cut another patterned paper (Spooky Boo “Hocus Pocus” Patterned Paper) to smaller pieces than your tag and adhere one piece on top of the tag using double sided tape. Wrap the tag now with black thread to make “spider web” look, and then place a wall spider (Spooky Boo Adhesive Wall Spiders) on top. I also added one phrase sticker (Spooky Boo Cardstock Stickers) to each, and fussy cut flowers (Spooky Boo “Hocus Pocus” Patterned Paper) to bring more detail.

I don’t think creating could get any easier. Yet, you’ll get some handmade creations to giveaway!

 

Hope this quick and easy post inspires you to create something fun today!
