Birthday Cards With Fall Flair

Oct

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!!

Halloween Party Fun

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I love throwing Halloween parties. It’s fun to decorate the house and invite people over whether its a pumpkin carving party or a Halloween costume party. Of course, part of the fun is creating some party favors to help set the mood. Here is what I came up with using the This is Family collection that Jen Hadfield designed …

Even though this collection is not Halloween based, the colors of the pattern papers have a Fall air about them and I had no problems making them work. The kids will get a kick out of these pumpkin treat bags. I used a svg cut file from SVGcuts called Barn Party. These treat bags could be filled with candy or even popcorn. A clear acetate sheet let’s you see just what treats are inside.

I also spray painted the outside of some pint sized mason jars to look like candy corn. A trick here to prevent overspray is to wrap some scrap paper around the jar and affix with a rubber binder. I spray painted my jars with the opening face down to prevent getting any paint inside the jar.

Once the paint was dry I cut faces from black vinyl to adhere to them.

Box cards make great table decor on your buffet table. This Jack-In-The-Box black cat isn’t too scary. I have a couple of black cats that I took in as strays so it was hard to resist making this one. This svg cut file is also from SVGcuts and is called Halloween Box Cards. It does fold flat in case you wanted to mail it.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you are planning on throwing a Halloween party. This Is Family papers and embellishments are sold through American Crafts. You can also get the This Is Family collection at JoAnn Fabric Stores!

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.

Now we’re going to put one of my favorite, and most versatile papers, to work! Cut apart the tags from this fun paper!

Punch out the holes and tie baker’s twine through each one. Add a puffy sticker or two for interest and dimension!

Now the card tops are complete and the final step is to place each one onto a white cardstock card base! The final cards measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

I made a set of 6 cards, but you could easily make an entire dozen almost as quickly! Here’s a closer look at each of the six cards:

It’s easy to put together an entire set of cards, and having a fun collection like this one makes it extra fun!

Cardmaking with Peek-A-Boo You

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with some adorable cards I created with the new Peek-A-Boo You collection. This collection is perfect for baby boys and girls.

Cardmaking is easy when you can cut journal cards from pattern paper as I did here. The card sentiment is already there for you so you don’t need stamps either. This first card uses just one pattern paper for the background. I used some metal dies to give this stork journal card a unique shape as well as for the doily I layered underneath. A pretty bow and some washi tape add a few more delicate details.

Cardmaking doesn’t need to be hard. For this card I picked two pattern papers that coordinated well together to create this card background and placed a journal card on top. I added a delicate butterfly to accent the card sentiment.

How about three pattern papers… I used two for the background and added a third for the scallop punched border. Some ribbon, butterflies, and sprigs of leaves are perfect for baby girl cards.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Simple cards

Hey everyone, Michelle here today sharing some quick and easy cards using the This is Family collection and cut files from JustNick studio.

I always start my cards with a white base. Then I add to it. These came together pretty fast.

A cut file, greeting, stitching and a few puffy stickers is all it took to make these cards.

I love this bold blue background. Beautiful with the white cut file!

I used to be scared to make cards. The trick is to just keep them simple. No one will know these literally took 10 minutes to make!

Thanks for stopping by!
