Halloween Monster Boxes

Oct

Hello everyone! It’s Ev a on the blog today, sharing some quick Halloween boxes made with the “This Is Family” papers.

Create some spooky Monster Treat Boxes using the "This is Family" collection by @pebblesinc. p.c: @evapizarrov

I love to create Halloween treat boxes, I think they are a great handmade gift for someone special! These boxes are very simple and the best part is that you don’t need any special Halloween supplies to create them!

To create these flip top boxes, start by cutting a 9 2/8 x 6 7/8 inch patterned paper. Score it on the long side at 1/2 inch, 3 5/8 inch, 4 7/8 inch and 8 inches. Next, rotate the paper and score on the short side at 1 1/4 inch, 4 3/8 inch and 5 5/8 inches.

Score all the lines and cut the two left section of your box. Cut the lines you see on yellow and score the ones you see on orange.

Assemble your box by gluing the lids. You can use some sharp scissors to cut a triangle on the side of the lid.

Decorate the boxes with black and white cardstock and some monster eyes! The boxes are ready to be filled with your favorite treat!

I added some teeth, eyebrows, horns, spots and even some hair made with a tassel! Kids could help you decorate the boxes, I am sure they can come up with some spooky monsters!

Aren’t these boxes fun? Who says you can’t use a regular collection for Halloween?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Halloween Treat Bags

Hey everyone it’s Michelle here today sharing a fun and easy Halloween project. I don’t get many trick or treaters at my house so I wanted to do something special for the few that do come. I found these cute little treat bag cut files in the Silhouette store. They were just what I was looking for!

These bags took no time at all to make. It probably took me longer to figure out what papers to use than to actually make them. I used the This is Family and Chasing Adventure collections on these.

I love that floral black and white paper for the witch’s hat!

My daughter told me my pumpkin looked like an orange. lol It’s still cute though!

I think this one is my favorite. I love that purple bow!

I can’t wait to fill these with little treats!

Thanks for stopping by!

Peek-A-Boo You with Terhi

Hello there, everyone!
Terhi here, with the sweetest scrapbook layout I’ve done so far. Have you seen Pebbles newest line: Peek-a-Boo You – link here!

Peek-a-Boo You is such a pretty, beautiful and playful line. It was a true pleasure creating a scrapbook layout with it. This page I made was for one of my dearest friend, and the baby you see is already turning one.

Even though the baby in the photo is a girl, I felt more comfortable using both girl and boy themed products for the layout. There are separate paper stacks and embellishments for boys and girls, but as you see they all blends together very smoothly.

To create this layout I decided to add dimension and detail by grabbing the “girl” stamp set, and stamped a lot of leaves and butterflies with embossing technique onto patterned papers. Then, I cut the images out.

The background of the layout is created with Paper Fashion metallic watercolours, which are great for making shimmering look even on white cardstock. I splashed around and decided to have a vertical design for the layout.
On top of the watercolors is a cut file from Paige Evans, which I backed with Peek-a-Boo You patterned papers: Jungle Strips for the leaves and Woodland Floral for the flowers.
Then, I placed the photograph on top of the cut file, leaving some thread between. Finally I added the embossed leaves and butterflies on top, and mixed different embellishments around and over the photograph.

There are lots of different ways to reach the kind of sweet and chubby look for a baby layout, but for me layering different embellishments and other elements is the best.
Go ahead and try it out yourself, you’ll love it!

Thank you for stopping by today!

quick and easy birthday card set

Hi friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing my favorite tip for making a big set of birthday cards – hint: assembly line!!

quick and easy birthday card set by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Happy Cake Day" collection by @PebblesInc.

Watch how easy it is to create a half dozen cards in a jiffy!

Start by cutting the background. These papers are 4″ wide and 5 1/4″ tall.

The next layer is this fun text paper, cut at 4″ wide and
3 3/4″ tall. I centered each piece (eyeballing the center – no measurements here)!

Next, I cut a few different tear strips to 4″ wide and placed them on the top and bottom of each blue piece.

Now cut red patterned papers to 2 1/2″ x 4″ and white birthday text paper to 1 1/2″ x 4″. Add one of each to every card, tilting slightly in opposite directions.

Now we’re going to put one of my favorite, and most versatile papers, to work! Cut apart the tags from this fun paper!

Punch out the holes and tie baker’s twine through each one. Add a puffy sticker or two for interest and dimension!

Now the card tops are complete and the final step is to place each one onto a white cardstock card base! The final cards measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

I made a set of 6 cards, but you could easily make an entire dozen almost as quickly! Here’s a closer look at each of the six cards:

It’s easy to put together an entire set of cards, and having a fun collection like this one makes it extra fun!

Are you new to the sketch challenge world? If so, this is how it works. You take the sketch below (courtesy of our friends at DCWV) and you make a project with it! Your project needs to have at least 75% Pebbles products in it. That’s it!

A few weeks ago, we reached out to some of our crafty friends for help (we want to provide you with inspiration on this too!) – and this is what they made. Aren’t they sweet??

Once you make your project, take a picture of it and email it to [email protected] We’ll host the rest of the challenge on our Facebook page, where we share our submissions with everyone and then pick a winner after a week of voting.

Project photos are due on the 20th – we’ll post them on Facebook the 21st – 28th and pick a winner on the 29th.

Best of luck to you- can’t wait to see what you come up with!
