Happy Home Decor

Hello! I’m Amy from The Happy Scraps, and I’m so excited to be guest designing here at the Pebbles blog! Today I’m sharing a fun “HAPPY” home décor piece with you. I have fallen in love with the new Home+Made line from Jen Hadfield, and that is what I used for this project.

Fun-Phrases-Happy

I started out by trimming down the Alphabet Banner pieces.

I trimmed them to be about 2” x 3 7/8”, trimming some off of all sides.

trim-letters

I picked out some patterned papers from the 6” x 6” Cottage Living paper pad and trimmed them to be 3” x 4 1/2”.

Using the Oversized Gold Paperclips I attached the patterned paper and alphabet banner pieces together.

Using the die for the Polaroid frame and some white cardstock, I cut out five of them.

Then I sprayed the frames with the gold glitter spray.

Next, I attached the gold sprayed frames to the back of my alphabet banner and patterned paper pieces.

Now you are ready to attach them to a board. I grabbed a board that I had on hand and stained it. Then I used adhesive to adhere my pieces right to the board.

I love the way it turned out. This would be perfect for a shelf in a craft room! Isn’t the glitter spray so fun?!

Mini Bee and Butterfly Gardens

Amanda here today with a quick and easy Easter decor idea for my fellow last minute slacker peeps. Easter dinner is close to the top of the list of Huge Family Meals we eat throughout the year. We are always eager to celebrate an occasion with a huge ham and big pile of cheesy potatoes. It is also one of the few meals where I actually set the table and create a fun centerpiece.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsGrab a few empty cans, some patterned paper and some flowers and bees and you’ll have some pretty, happy, spring-inspired Easter decor in no time. These mini bee and butterfly gardens are super easy to care for and the flowers are guaranteed not to wilt. You can plant wheat grass directly in the containers, or fill the containers with wheat grass from the grocery store.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsEvery flower garden needs some buzzing bees, and the enamel bee stickers from the Home Grown collection are perfect. Adhere the bees to the top of a piece of floral wire to make them appear as though they are buzzing all around.  Add a few bees and maybe a butterfly or two.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsWrap regular ol’ soup cans with patterned paper to create the pretty garden containers. I am crushing on coral right now so I chose to use coordinating coral prints from the Cottage Living collection to wrap my cans.

Bee and Butterfly Gardens by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage and Home Grown collectionsCheater, cheater pumpkin eater. There is no shame in using store-bought wheat grass to fill your garden containers. No one will ever know the difference. Keep the wheat grass watered for a long lasting garden.

Happy Easter!

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath

I am so glad that it is almost Spring! Soon leaves will start budding on trees and flowers will appear en masse. Fresh flower trimmings will brighten indoor spaces, but only after I scold my kids for picking all of the fresh blooms from the landscaping. Sigh.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionIf you are a Pebbles Blog regular, then you know that I love making home décor pieces with regular ol’ wooden embroidery hoops. Inspired by the brightly colored flowers in the Home Grown collection, I dug into my stash of embroidery hoops to create a simple piece of embroidery hoop décor. BONUS: Embroidery hoop décor also doubles as dog toys! Double sigh.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionGuess what? There was a fussy cut made to create this bright, floral wreath. Yesss!

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionPebbles makes flowers easy. The only supply I used to make this wreath was a package of die cut flower chips. There are 80 flowers and leaves (bonus!)  in this package, which is more than enough to go the entire way around a hoop to make a more grand wreath. And they are so pretty, too.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionAn easy way to plan your bouquet is to trace the embroidery hoop onto a piece of cardstock and play around with the floral arrangement. This gives you the freedom to experiment and change your mind before anything becomes semi-permanent. TIP: Take a picture of your final arrangement to use as a reference when putting your flowers onto the embroidery hoop.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionLayer the larger flowers with foam dots to help create a bold focal point. Rather than assemble your paper flower bouquet directly on the embroidery hoop, cut out a little piece of the circle to use as a base. This will help ensure that your bouquet follows the curve of the hoop. Trim any excess away after you have assembled your bouquet.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionAdd a bit of extra sparkle and dimension to your flowers by highlighting the flowers with glitter glue. Yep, the very same stuff that you hoarded as a kid is still a very useful craft supply.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionAttach flowers to the front and back of the cardstock as you create your bouquet. This will add depth to your bouquet and help you get the flowers in just the right place.

Spring Flower Hoop Wreath by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Home Grown collectionAfter your bouquet is assembled, use foam dots throughout to add dimension to your bouquet. I used several foam dots to separate different flowers and pop up leaves to give the bouquet more depth.

Hello Pebbles Inc Fans!  Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing a sunny Hello Sunshine Jar to beat those Winter Blues made with the Pebbles Inc Happy Day collection.

Jar of Sunshine made with @pebblesinc Happy Day collection by @ribbonsandglue

Winter has been the theme this week on the Pebbles blog and really, who wants to promote an extended Winter unless you’re a Winter Sport enthusiast?   I live in Southern Nevada and we’ve barely had a Winter this year let alone a flake of snow so if you happen to be one of those people stuck inside with the Winter Blues, here’s an simple and quick project to bring you  a little bit of Sunshine.

Paper Ribbon from the Happy Day Collection by @pebblesinc

To make this Hello Sunshine Jar, I filled up a mason jar with yellow candy and adhere Pebbles Inc Happy Day Paper Ribbon around the jar.

I then covered the lid of the jar by tracing it on a  piece of 6×6 patterned paper.

Enamel Dots and Stickers found in the Happy Day Collection by @pebblesinc

Embellishing  the outside of the jar was easy to do using the Happy Day Epoxy and Phrase Stickers.

Metal Clips from the Happy Day Collection by @pebblesinc

I  added a stick tag on to the jar by adhering a toothpick on to a Happy Day Metal Clip then clipped on a Hello sentiment found in the 6×6 paper pad.
