Happy Cake Day

Jan

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I have a birthday layout to share that I created with the new Pebbles Happy Cake Day collection. We all have birthdays (although some of us have stopped counting) so this collection is a must! I used it here to document my son’s first birthday celebration.

The inspiration for my design started with the 2×2 grid pattern paper. I cut the paper apart, choosing the squares I wanted for a boy’s layout. Then I arranged 9 squares in a grid on a piece of pattern paper. To reinforce the square design, I printed my photos as squares too and even machine stitched squares on my background and around some of the 2×2 square pattern paper pieces.

This collection has lots of ephemera die cuts. One of my favorites is this adorable sloth.

The birthday phrase stickers are another favorite. They are perfect for scrapbook layout titles. I layered a cupcake die cut over an adorable llama sticker here to draw attention to the title. To add a little dimension, this collection has adorable word bubble puffy stickers as well as puffy dot stickers. They add such a fun element!

What are you celebrating in 2020? I bet plenty of birthdays!

Happy Cake Day Party Favors

Oct

Leave a Comment

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

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!

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.
