3 cards set with Lovely Moments

Feb

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project using the beautiful new Lovely Moments collection. If you’re a cardmaker, almost all of Pebble’s collection come with boxed cards sets. These are perfect for creating quick and easy card. You just need to embellish!

My favorite thing about this collection is the kraft paper. I added some to all 3 cards so they would look like a matching set!

This is a really great collection for cardmaking. There are a lot of different greetings included in the ephemera packs.

I also added a bit of stitching to each card. It was the perfect finishing touch!

Thanks for stopping by!

Quick and easy Mini Christmas Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today, sharing a quick tutorial on how to create quick and easy mini cards during this holiday season.

create quick and easy handmade cards during this holiday season with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new Merry Little Christmas line from @pebblesinc

This cards are very easy to create and they are perfect to accompany a gift or to give to your guests during christmas dinner.

To create them, start by layering strips of washi tape on a 2,5 inch square card.

Fill the entire card and trim the excess. You can do this with strips of patterned paper too but washi tape is great if you are making them in bulk!

Next, decorate the front of the card with a die cut. I used 3d foam dots to glue the die cut and I love the look!

The final touch is to add a tag on the side of the card. These stickers are perfect because you only need a package for all your cards. You can glue the sticker on some cardstock or put some baby powder on the back to remove the sticky part.

Using your Crop a Dile, make a small hole on top and tie the tag with some red twine.

Create some envelopes with the Mini Envelope Punch Board and the lovely papers from the Merry Little Christmas line.

Your mini cards are ready! now all you have to do is fill them with a cheerful message and give them to someone you love. I am sure they are going to be grateful and happy to receive a handmade card.

Thanks for joining me today and have a joyful Christmas!

Merry Little Christmas Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Christmas cards may seem a little old fashion, but receiving one in the mail delights me so much. There is just something more tangible to a real card versus receiving an electronic greeting. There is still time to create some Christmas cards to send out to your favorite people too. I have a few ideas to share with you today using the festive Merry Little Christmas collection.

To aid in the creative process, I like to sort my die cut ephemera pieces into categories. For these cards, I had Winter scene and Santa Claus piles. Then I start looking for coordinating pattern paper. For this card I cut the 3×4 journal card with the card sentiment from a sheet of pattern paper, adhered it to some white cardstock and added a border.

Sometimes the pattern paper reminds me of a digital cut file that I have. This cut file is from JustNick Studios.

This card too was created with one of the 3×4 journal cards cut from a sheet of pattern paper. This time I adhered it to some fun banners I cut out with my Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board.

I couldn’t resist making a little winter scene on this card using the tiny stickers. They are so fun to add a little dimension. I almost made this a shaker card. Wouldn’t that have been fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Christmas is 2 weeks away so go make some cards to mail!!

Supplies:
Merry Little Christmas 12×12 paper pad

Countdown to Christmas: Easy Holiday Cards

Dec

Leave a Comment

Hello friends! It’s the first week of December already – do you have your Christmas cards done? I usually purchase photo cards to send out to the masses, but I like making handmade cards for a few special people in our lives. That being said, I always seem to run short on time, so it’s a good idea to create a simple card and duplicate it using different papers and elements.

Easy Holiday Cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Merry Little Christmas" Collection by @PebblesInc.

The “Merry Little Christmas” collection is so fun and cheery, it was an obvious choice for this year’s cards! I started by trimming a patterned paper to 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ – then I cut 1″ from the bottom to create a coordinating paper strip to add to the card front.

Next, I cut white cardstock to 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and stitched around the edges with green thread. (I love using my sewing machine on my projects!) I placed the white stitched piece in the center of the pattered background paper, then placed the 1″ coordinating paper strip on top – I varied where I placed the coordinating strip.

Next, I added a tag from the coordinating tag set. I used foam adhesive behind some of them for a touch of added dimension. I also scrounged around in my ribbon scraps to find fun ribbons to tie through the holes of each one. As you can see, I tilted the tags slightly when I attached them over the white stitched piece.

Next, I added coordinating printed die-cut pieces to each card. Some are tucked slightly under the tag, some are overlapping on top. And finally, I added some gold puffy sticker thickers to some of the cards (the holly leaves and berries).

After they were complete, I attached all of the card fronts to white cardstock bases and now I have a start to my handmade cards for this year!

Thanks for stopping by – I hope you feel inspired to whip up a few festive cards yourself now!

Give the Gift of Kind Words

Nov

Hi friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a project filled with kindness! My assignment was to create a project based on “giving” or “receiving” and I chose giving, of course! My favorite thing to GIVE is a kind word or a bit of encouragement. Whenever I can use paper and glue to make those words into a little gift, I call it a double win!

Thankful cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "This is Family" Collection by @PebbleInc.

I used the “This is Family” collection to create this set of cards. I knew I wanted to make a bunch, so I kept the design pretty simple. I started by cutting several different papers into 3 3/4″ squares. Next, I cut half of those squares in half diagonally. I used my sewing machine to stitch each half square onto a full square, right up the middle.

Then I cut apart all of the 3″ squares on the cut-apart sheet in the collection. I placed one square in the center of each stitched piece.

Finally, I attached each piece to a 4″ square card cut from white cardstock. I also added a sticker or die cut to some of the card fronts.

My plan is to write notes to some of the special people in my life, telling them WHY I think they are special, why I am thankful for them, and what makes them so great! I hope they appreciate hearing a kind word as much as I know I would! I plan to share a card or two each day from now until Thanksgiving. 🙂

What gifts do YOU like to give? Kind and encouraging words are always a good choice!

Happy Thanksgiving Season!

Wendy Sue
