A Gift for Travelers

29

Leave a Comment

Hello crafty friends, hope you’re doing well? Today I find you for a new article. Last week was my friend’s birthday, she wanted a personalized gift. She loves to travel, I had the idea of creating a mini album that I slipped into a suitcase. I show you the result! To make this album, I used the Fun and Sun collection from Pebbles.

The first step was to create the suitcase. For the form, I used a cereal box which I cut in half. Then I covered it with papers from the collection. To create the corners, I used a round hole punch. I fold my circle in 4 then I cut and glued it. It is a very simple technique to create clean and simple angles. To make the suitcase more realistic, I added straps all around the suitcase. On the front of my suitcase, I create a beach landscape. I cut out the clouds in a paper from the collection. To create the sea, I use a paper from the collection that I cut and sewn to make it more realistic. Then, I had fun adding die cuts to create my decor. I finished by adding my title “Summer memories”.

On the side of my suitcase I wanted to create a charm. I used wooden beads and a sticker shaker from the collection.

The magic of this suitcase is that it contains an album. I did not want to make a classic suitcase that opens. The peculiarity of this suitcase is that the top of the suitcase is pulled to take out the album.

As you will have understood, the edge of my album is the top of my suitcase. To make it more realistic I added a hanse. To make it more solid when you pull the hanse, I sewn it on the edge.

I wanted my album to be fitting with the suitcase. so I used the same blue paper from the suitcase for the cover. Then I create a strip with papers from the collection. I added die cuts and puffy dots. Finally, to make my album more resistant, I added metal corners in the corners.

I hope you liked my suitcase and my album made with the Fun and sun collection of Pebbles, I can’t wait to see your creations. See you soon!

Sun And Fun Mini Album

Hello Pebbles friends, Marcia here today. I thought I would get a jump start on a Summer mini album now when I have time versus in the summer when (hopefully) things are back to normal. The Sun and Fun collection is awesome for recording all kinds of summer activities from pool parties to camping to just enjoying summer foods. I decided on a beach ball shaped mini album. All the pages are circles so even without an electronic cutting machine you could recreate this pretty easily.

I embellished my mini album with the die cut ephemera icons and phrases, cut paper strips, and the cut apart 3″ x 4″ pocket journal cards.

Here are the inside pages. It was fun coordinating the pattern papers. I used a mixture of 2″ x 3″ photo mats and 3″ x 4″ photo mats. This will make it easy using my photo editing software to print multiple photos on 4″ x 6″ photo paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Are you ready to start some summer fun?

Heart-shaped box and mini-album

Hello, Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro on the blog today sharing a tutorial on how to create a heart-shaped box from your next mini album using the lovely HEY! hello line

Create a heart shaped box and a mini album with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new #heyhello line from @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc

Mini albums are a lovely gift and they are even better if they are inside a cute heart-shaped box!

To create this heart-shaped box the first thing you need to do is cut two hearts. I created a template and then used it to cut my shapes from this lovely spring pattern. My heart is 6 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches tall approximately.

Next, cut your hearts in half and cut two 1 1/4 inches wide strips of paper. Create creates at 1/4 inches and 1 inch.

Bend the sides and glue the two strips together to create one long strip.

Bend the paper strip in half (this will be the point of the heart) and cut small triangles on the bent strips so you can assemble the box.

Carefully, glue the strip to the hearts. Start at the point of the heart and go all the way until half of the heart.

Now, glue the top and make sure your boxes close perfectly. Inside the box, I included and mini album. This one is 4 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches and I made it using this tutorial for a One Page Mini Album.

To close the box I used a big ribbon and decorate it with die cuts and these lovely pink Thickers. See those cute shaker stickers? They add a great dimensional touch!

* Make sure you only glue decorations on one side of the box, otherwise you are not going to be able to open it *

Here’s how the project looks once you open the box.

The mini inside is pretty simple, I used pieces of paper and small 2 inch square photos.

Hello friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a quick and easy mini book I created with the beautiful “Lovely Moments” collection.

quick and easy "You and Me" mini album by Wendy Sue Anderson for @PebblesInc. featuring the "Lovely Moments" Collection

You can create a little book like this for a gift – and you can complete it with journaling and photos OR give the blank book for the recipient to fill out!

You can whip up a book like this in just a few easy steps!

  1. Choose beautiful patterned papers from the “Lovely Moments” collection
  2. Cut the papers to 8″ wide x 6″ tall
  3. Score all of the papers at 4″ and fold
  4. Stack the papers together in the order you want them to be in your book.
  5. Use a sewing machine to stitch down the fold – I did it twice, first with a straight stitch, then with a zig-zag stitch.
  6. Fill the album full of sweet 3×4 printed cards, printed die-cuts, tags, washi tape, etc. from the collection.
