Gender reveal cake and blocks

Oct

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using the Peek-a-boo You collection. This is one of the funnest things I have ever made. First of all, this collection is absolutely gorgeous! Seriously! I couldn’t even pick if I wanted to use the boy or girl collection so I used both.

I started off by making these cute little blocks. I made them from a cut file from Lori Whitlock. They turned out so sweet! Who wouldn’t want these in their baby’s nursery??

Then I decided I needed something else to go with them. I found this awesome birthday cake cut file (again from Lori Whitlock) and made it into a baby themed cake. I also made a little banner that says boy so it could easily be changed from girl to boy!

And to make this cake even cuter, the cake layers are actually storage boxes! I love double sided paper!! I might keep this for myself I like is so much! lol

Thanks for stopping by!

Baby book

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile ! Today I find you to make a new mini album. I wanted to create an album with envelopes to put the photos of me baby and the new collection of Pebbles is perfect for that!
I began by making the structure of the album with cardboard and then covered it with papers from the collection. I added some die cuts to decorate the cover.
For the slice of the album, I made a false binding in sewing. I decorated it by adding wooden beads.

Then I made envelopes with the 1 2 3 punch board of We re memory keepers. I stuck them in my album by making an accordion binding.

I ended up decorating them with die cuts and stickers from the collection. I added 3D foams to add volume.

I hope you like this album and will give you ideas for your next creations. See you soon !

Birthday Cards With Fall Flair

I love adding a bit of seasonal influence to my birthday cards sometimes, especially if it’s not over-the-top obvious – which is why I created this set of birthday cards with a bit of fall flair!

Birthday Cards with a Fall Flair by Wendy Sue Anderson for @PebblesInc. featuring the "This is Family" collection

It’s easy to bring in a bit of autumn for birthdays falling during fall months. Simply add a few pretty fall leaves! You can choose to cut them by hand, use metal dies, or even an electronic die-cutting machine. Just cut a bunch of leaves from some pretty colored papers (like these from the “This is Family” collection) and you’re set!

Here’s a closer look at each cards – they are basically the same, with a few minor changes.

With a few leaves, some paper strips, a button, and twine, these birthday cards have a subtle touch of autumn without screaming it so loudly that it overpowers the sentiment.

Happy Fall AND Happy Birthday!!

Happy Cake Day with Terhi

Hello everyone! It’s Terhi here with a scrapbook layout made with Happy Cake Day collection! I can’t describe how much I adore the bright and crisp colors this line has. As well as all the balloons, cupcakes, candles and so much more! All so fun and pretty! Instead of picking one or two colors to work with, I added them all to this one layout and it was so fun to do!

Happy Cake Day can be used to all kind of celebrations and everything around parties. For cards, invitations, party decor and of course memory keeping. My younger daughter turned nine just couple weeks ago, and scrapbooking her balloon photos was a true joy with this lovely line!

To make interesting and very large title, I used my electronic cutting machine and cut out a phrase matching perfectly to the birthday theme. The cut file is from Paige Evans, here’s a link to her Facebook group called Happy Scrappy Place from where you can download some cut files for free.

All the letters are backed with different patterned papers. All the Happy Cake Day patterned papers are so pretty! There’s one more patterned paper behind the whole phrase, and only couple carefully chose embellishments next to the photos. I’ve noticed that if you have a title as big as the background, it’s better to keep other elements small.

The Happy Cake Day Puffy Phrase Thickers are great to give your creative project some extra texture. I added couple words to my layout, and continued with other puffy stickers to finish the look.
Hope you are inspired by this!

Halloween Party Fun

Oct

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I love throwing Halloween parties. It’s fun to decorate the house and invite people over whether its a pumpkin carving party or a Halloween costume party. Of course, part of the fun is creating some party favors to help set the mood. Here is what I came up with using the This is Family collection that Jen Hadfield designed …

Even though this collection is not Halloween based, the colors of the pattern papers have a Fall air about them and I had no problems making them work. The kids will get a kick out of these pumpkin treat bags. I used a svg cut file from SVGcuts called Barn Party. These treat bags could be filled with candy or even popcorn. A clear acetate sheet let’s you see just what treats are inside.

I also spray painted the outside of some pint sized mason jars to look like candy corn. A trick here to prevent overspray is to wrap some scrap paper around the jar and affix with a rubber binder. I spray painted my jars with the opening face down to prevent getting any paint inside the jar.

Once the paint was dry I cut faces from black vinyl to adhere to them.

Box cards make great table decor on your buffet table. This Jack-In-The-Box black cat isn’t too scary. I have a couple of black cats that I took in as strays so it was hard to resist making this one. This svg cut file is also from SVGcuts and is called Halloween Box Cards. It does fold flat in case you wanted to mail it.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you are planning on throwing a Halloween party. This Is Family papers and embellishments are sold through American Crafts. You can also get the This Is Family collection at JoAnn Fabric Stores!
