Happy Glamper

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. The warmer weather has my family thinking about future camping trips. We love to pack up the car and drive to one of our favorite camping spots … or even explore a new place. With the glamping craze, I thought maybe I should be decorating our camper … so I decided I needed to make a wreath for the camper door. Here is what I came up with.

This wreath was super easy to make. It took 2.5 rolls of burlap and maybe 15 minutes! Here is a tutorial I found on YouTube to explain how to create this beautiful ruffle wreath. Well then I had to think about how to decorate my wreath. I found a svg design for the camper from SVGcuts. It’s a 3 dimensional camper complete with a lawn flamingo in the front! I made my camper using pattern papers from Jen Hadfield’s Chasing Adventures collection. The hiking girl standing in front is an extra nice touch…don’t you think?

Next I had to figure out how to attach the camper to the wreath. Since the camper is make out of paper I didn’t want to use wire and chance ripping the camper. I finally opted to glue the camper to a blackboard sign. Of course this left me space on the sign I had to decorate with vinyl. I found the cutest Happy Camper cut file in the Silhouette store. I love the trees and mountain scenery behind the camper.

The blackboard sign hangs from a wire at the top of my wreath. I also added a pretty pink bow too.

I love how this turned out. It will be so fun to see people’s reactions when they see this beauty on our camper door!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Where is your favorite place to go camping? I am always looking for a new adventure and would love to hear!

Plan a Summer Party for the Girls!

Even though it’s raining outside my window today, I know summer is coming…eventually! Instead of being sad because the weather is gloomy, I’m choosing to plan for the sunny days ahead by planning a fun little summertime party for the girls! I used the “Chasing Adventures” collection to whip up a few fun party elements! Here’s a look at the entire set:

I started by creating the fun “summer” banner.

I used my Silhouette machine to cut the background banners and the letters.

The rectangles were cut with a metal die, then I used multiple colors of thread to stitch around the edges with my sewing machine.

To finish it off, I added printed die cuts and stickers to embellish each banner, then strung it all together with yellow twine!

I made these cute little favor bags by cutting a shape with my digital die-cutting machine. Each bag was then embellished with cute tags cut from one of the patterned papers in the collection. These cute bags are the perfect size to fill with a little treat or gift! I’m thinking some chocolates and nail polish would be a fun summer-ish gift!

What’s a party without cupcakes? It’s easy to dress up beautiful cupcakes purchased from a favorite bakery (these were from Sweet Tooth Fairy – YUM!). I simply glued the cute girl printed die-cuts onto sucker sticks, then placed them in the center. The wraps were simply cut from patterned papers with the Silhouette – easy peasy!

And, of course, after eating those delicious cupcakes, we might need a little drink. These water bottles were easy to dress up by wrapping a strip of patterned paper over the labels. And the straws are extra cute now – wrapped with washi tape and embellished with a fun little printed die-cut!

Whether you’re already experiencing summertime temperatures, or you’re dreaming of sunny days ahead, don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate with your girls! Happy summer!!

Chasing Adventures Travel Journal

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Is anyone planning a Spring Break vacation in April? Take a look at my Chasing Adventures travel journal. It is perfect to take along on your trip to record your memories and store mementos, maps, postcards, photos and more.

The journal is crafted from a kraft cardstock and then decorated with the fun Chasing Adventures pattern papers. I glued two pieces of kraft cardstock together to make the folio stronger. To give it a vintage feel, I burnished the edges with some distress ink. An elastic band secures the binder shut. Let me show you the inside …


The front cover has a side pocket to tuck stickers and die cuts that can be used to decorate journal pages while traveling.

There are 3 pages inside. Each side of a page has a gusseted pocket to hold travel momentos, maps, postcards, and more.

Here are the other inside pages…

In the back of the journal I have added a notepad, covered with pretty pattern paper. Here you can journal about your daily adventures and add photos.

If you have an upcoming vacation, you might want to make a travel journal for yourself. Be sure to check out the Chasing Adventures collection to help you document your trip. I love that it has pattern papers and die cuts for whatever kind of adventure you desire from city vacations to mountain hiking to tropical relaxation.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Thank You Cards with Yvette, our guest designer!

Hello everyone!  My name is Yvette Weber and I am so excited to be a guest on the Pebbles blog today.  With the holiday just behind us, I decided to make a couple of thank you cards to share with you. It’s such a wonderful way to say thank you, for all of the amazing gifts you got!
For my first card, I started by drawing a isosceles triangle to use as an outline for my Christmas tree.
I had an idea to create a Christmas tree using circles…the beautiful patterns and colors in the Cozy and Bright collection were absolutely perfect for this.
I needed my circles to be very small, so I used a 3/4 inch circle punch to punch several circles from the patterned papers I selected…
Next, I started gluing the circles in place, starting from the bottom and making sure to slightly overlap each one as I worked my way to the top.
Here’s a look at the finish tree!

To give the illusion that the tree is lit up, I added a bit of yellow paint. Stitched around the perimeter and then adhered it another layer of patterned paper.

A fussy cut flower was used as a tree topper and I couldn’t resist using those adorable gingerbread boy/girl die-cuts to embellish my card. To finish the card off, I added a stamped sentiment and some enamel dots.

For the second card, I combined patterned papers from Merry Merry and Cozy and Bright collections to create a grid design.

I start by cutting my patterned paper into four rectangles (2 1/2 x 1 5/8)

Use a white gel pen and a ruler to add some faux stitching to each of the rectangles.

Next, I use a decorative die-cut with some vellum to add another layer to my card.

Embellish with a few die-cut pieces from the Cozy and Bright collection.

Add a stamped sentiment as well as a piece of patterned paper to the inside of the envelope – I really love how this turned out!

If you have a photo of you or your loved one opening that gift, why not enclose a copy of it in your card!

I hope I inspired you today to create a few Holiday thank you cards….

Have a wonderful day!

How to give New Life for Old Frames with Terhi

Hello lovely Pebbles Fans!
It’s Terhi Koskinen here back with you. It’s Christmas Eve, so I wish you the most wonderful Christmas, or Happy Holidays, no matter what you are celebrating!
Instead of keeping the Holiday theme on mind, my thoughts are already running to the upcoming year.

Usually New year is time for everything new. All new doesn’t have to be brand new, you can also renew existing things if possible. That’s what I like to do, and for making some small home decoration pieces I took couple of frames I’m not using anymore and started altering them for new use.

The frames are very basic, white and cheap, perfect starting point for quick altering! My idea was to make them, or at least one of them, for my office wall to remind me of important things like gratitude, home, family and love. I took my most favorite Pebbles collection ever: Along the Way, and started playing with the butterflies, flowers, houses and much more.

The creating process was simple. Paint the frames, make a background, choose the title and add embellishments. But to explain more and show you all the details, I recorded a process video.

Hopefully the video inspires you to start your own project. Like these frames, the project doesn’t have to be huge and time-consuming. As long as it cheers up your mood, gives you positive energy and happiness, you’re on the right track!

Thank you for joining me today here at Pebbles blog!
