Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I wanted to share a DIY Spring Easter basket idea that you can create with beautiful pattern papers from the Pebbles Hey, Hello collection. I am using the Easter Egg Hunt digital cut file from SVGcuts. There are lots of gorgeous floral papers perfect for Spring to choose come.

This would be a perfect craft to do with your children while they are home. Pick a favorite color cardstock and floral pattern paper combination, like this pretty teal floral with eggs from the Hey, Hello collection.

Or a pretty pink …

Tie some raffia ribbon to the handle for a feminine touch.

Or is blue your favorite color? I love the little birds and flower pattern on this beautiful paper.

Which floral pattern would you choose? Wishing you all health and safety in these trying times.

Supplies:
Pebbles – Hey, Hello – 12 x 12 Paper Pad
Pebbles – Hey, Hello – 12 x 12 Patterned Paper Nesting
Pebbles – Hey, Hello – 12 x 12 Patterned Paper Thinking Of You

Happy Cake Day Party Favors

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with my first post using the fun Happy Cake Day collection. I love making party favors. They can really help to create a festive vibe at your party. Instead of making just a couple cake boxes, I made an entire cake! Best of all, they can be displayed on a cake plate just like a real cake.

I made a combination of chocolate and strawberry cake boxes using several different pattern papers for my frosting. Some pretty rosette ribbon looks just like piped frosting along the edge of my cake.

You can decorate the boxes with stickers or die cut ephemera pieces like I did here.

The tops of the cake boxes come off to reveal a nice sized space for treats.

Each cake box also has it’s own candle. A little bit of yellow stickles gives them a warm glow.

Wouldn’t you love to receive one of these cake box party favors when you attend your next birthday party! You can find the cut file at SVGcuts, It’s called B is For Birthday.  Be sure to check out the Happy Cake Day collection for your families birthdays.

Supplies:
Happy Cake Day collection 12×12 paper pad
Happy Cake Day collection ephemera with foil accents
American Crafts cardstock

USS Missouri

Hello Pebbles friends. Marcia here today kicking off patriotic week at Pebbles. I pulled lots of red, white, and blue pattern papers from the Oh Summertime, Chasing Adventures, and Big Top Dreams collections and created a layout about a visit to the USS Missouri battleship in Pearl Harbor Hawaii. Because I had little in the way of patriotic embellishments, I wanted to make the pattern papers work for me by using a digital cut file I designed myself and creating a fun banner with the Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board.

That dark blue pattern paper makes a bold statement as my background with the die cut stars don’t you think. To add dimension, I created a festive banner with my Banner Punch Board. I machine stitched these triangles together. I made it a little easier to work with the banner.

Other embellishments were kept to a minimum. The ship in a bottle from the Chasing Adventures collection was the perfect touch, layered on top of a tag.

I used some older Thickers I had in my stash for my title and added a few journaling strips below my banner.

If you are interested in watching my scrapbook process video click on the link below.

There is a lot you can do with just your pattern papers and the right tools! Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Supplies:
Chasing Adventures Collection – papers and ephemera
Oh Summertime Collection
Big Top Dreams Collection
Banner Punch Board
Thickers – Memo Newsprint

Oh Summertime Travel Journal

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a tutorial on how to create your own travel journal. This could be used to document your summer vacation adventures or to send with a child to summer camp. I decorated this one with the Oh Summertime collection.

Here is a peek at the inside pages… There is a side pocket that can be used to hold sticker sheets or ephemera pieces. You could even store postcards and stamps to send to friends and family when you are traveling.

There are 3 gusseted pocket pages that follow. You could store photos, postcards, or other memorabilia inside.

In the back I have added a notebook. I covered this one with pattern paper to pretty it up.

I have put together a YouTube tutorial complete with measurements. It is fairly easy to put together. I hope you have a look. Click here

Supplies:
734097 Oh Summertime 12×12 Paper Pad
734094 Oh Summertime Ephemera
734086 Oh Summertime Cardstock Stickers

Sunshine Card Set with Video Tutorial

Hello all! Terhi here, hoping you all are having sunshine in your day today! I’m sharing some sunshine for you with my card set I made using ‘Oh Summertime!’ collection. To show you how I created these, I recorded a process video – see it in the end of this post.

To be more specific of what these cards are, I’d describe them as a treat bag tags mixed with cards. I got the idea to make the set of cards/tags when I was starting to plan some kind of gift to our children teachers this spring. Something handmade for sure, but also fun and colourful!

The treat bags I used, Homemade with Love Treat Bag Kit – Day Dream, are perfect to go with Oh Summertime! collection. They can be filled with any sweets of course, but also with anything else. How about some seeds to plant and grow beautiful flowers? Don’t let your imagination stop you.

As you can see, I didn’t add any large sentiments. Instead, I let the big circle shaped element speak loudly, wishing warm and sunny days, and thought to write my greetings to the back side.

To add more depth and interest to the cards I layered paper, paper and glitter die cut ephemera and fussy cut elements together. The result is fun-looking and very detailed!

This kind of project is super quick to do, and also quite simple. No need for tools in addition to scissors!

Take a look to the video here. If you can’t see the video, follow this link: Sunshine Card Set for Pebbles.

 

Thank you so much for taking time to visit here! See you soon again!
