Easter Baskets

Mar

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I wanted to share a DIY Spring Easter basket idea that you can create with beautiful pattern papers from the Pebbles Hey, Hello collection. I am using the Easter Egg Hunt digital cut file from SVGcuts. There are lots of gorgeous floral papers perfect for Spring to choose come.

This would be a perfect craft to do with your children while they are home. Pick a favorite color cardstock and floral pattern paper combination, like this pretty teal floral with eggs from the Hey, Hello collection.

Or a pretty pink …

Tie some raffia ribbon to the handle for a feminine touch.

Or is blue your favorite color? I love the little birds and flower pattern on this beautiful paper.

Which floral pattern would you choose? Wishing you all health and safety in these trying times.

Supplies:

Pebbles – Hey, Hello – 12 x 12 Patterned Paper Nesting

Good Friendships with Terhi

Hey there Pebbles Friends!
It’s Terhi here with you today. Hope you all are fine and doing great no matter where you are!
I’m here to share you a scrapbook page telling a story about one of the most important friendships in my life.
Let’s go, I’ll share how it was created, too.

I guess friendships are important to all of us, no matter where we are or how we were raised. This is no exception for me, my friends are my superpower! But instead of creating a layout including a silly selfie taken with friends, I thought to share who are my closest friends.
Side note, the silly selfies are important, too.

Who are the friends standing next to me when life gives me lemons?
Who are close to me when I’m ill?
Who smiles me every time we see each other – even if the last time was a second ago?
Who are always excited to do absolutely anything with me?
Who are the ones who agrees with anything I say and still be the most honest ones?
Who make my heart sign no matter how gray the world looks?
Please meet our two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels Myy and Elsa. I hope I can be as loyal to them as they are for me.

Creating a page like this was easy.
I think the photograph and its meaning is so strong, that I didn’t want to disturb it too much. Only frame it gently, and add couple of heart there.
I had my calming moment with patterned papers and scissors, I love fussy cutting! Then, I simply adhered all the flowers on white cardstock, forming a circle and leaving some space inside it.

Before finishing the page I cut the title and adhered it too, as well as the hearts. Last, I flicked some watercolors around the flowers as I wanted to add some green to the page.
That’s it!
Oh, and another side note: See how beautifully Hey, Hello! collection and my darling dogs match together? It’s like a match made in heaven!

Do you scrapbook about your friends? How about your furry friends? Or are all of your albums including pages about your family?
I wish you are inspired! And staying mentally close to your friends.

Paper Flower Wreath with Terhi | Video Tutorial

Hey Friends!
It’s Terhi here with you sharing some very colourful spring inspiration.
I was getting ready to host a small party, just because of spring and the upcoming summer, but obviously all these social occasions are now moved to future. But nothing will stop be cheering out home with flowers and colors!
Come and take a look, there’s a video at the end of this post.

This wreath is about 16″ wide, and I love it so much! I do love making small things like mini albums, but sometimes it’s fun to go really BIG.

As you can see from the process video, all of the blooms are created in very simple way. Most of them are rolled flowers, which means I have cut them with my Silhouette and then rolled the paper and glued it down. Others are layered flowers and they are just as simple as the others.
And what’s more, you can do it all using scissors if you prefer.

After I had all the flowers prepared, I cut all the leaves too and started to think about the design on the black metal hoop.

Hot glue became me dearest friend during the creation! It’s so quick and easy way to adhere the paper blooms together! First I adhered all the flowers and then the leaves.

Here’s the process video to brighten up your day!

If you can’t see it here, here’s the link: http://youtu.be/eVg5BHxFVm0

Keep on crafting, it’s important during the times like this.

How to create simple and interesting background for a scrapbook page

Feb

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles Fans!
It’s Terhi here. I’m very excited to share you my first scrapbook page featuring Pebbles new line called Lovely Moments. This line is amazingly beautiful and perfect to document your Valentine’s Day memories!
I created a simple and quick background for this page and I want to share how it was done. It would work so well on cards or other paper craft projects, so prepare yourself to be inspired!

Seeing all the patterned papers from Lovely Moments made me want to use them right away, but obviously adding several prints on one layout might steal attention from the photograph and the story behind it. But with this simple trick you actually can add them all on your project and still receive calm and harmony result.
So what I did was that I cut the bottom strips away from each 12″ x 12″ paper and attached them on a white cardstock with a sewing machine to create a pretty background for my layout.
The simplest and most clever idea I’ve had for ages!

To make more interest to the background design, I didn’t use anything to align the strips. No adhesives, nothing. This way they all are a bit differently set up and some even on top of each other.
Once I was finished with the sewing, I torn and ripped the strips from here and there to add dimension.

Before attaching the photograph I fussy cut some beautiful blooms and flowers from patterned papers. There are so many to choose from!
To repeat the thread from the background and also to highlight the bond between my daughter and the wonderful and kind pony she loves, I wrapped some golden thread around the photograph. This makes such fun and important detail to the layout.

Lovely Moments Ephemera Phrase pack is full of fantastic die cuts to use as titles or sentiments! I chose ‘Lucky in Love’ for this layout mostly because the horseshoe which matches the story perfectly. The pony really is her Valentine!

There are some very delicate golden drops of mist here and there around the design. I love adding a bit of something extra to each of my scrapbook pages and shimmering gold mist works so well together with the colors and products of Lovely Moments.

Have you ever used the bottom strips from patterned papers or do you throw them away? Do you document your Valentine’s Day? I hope you are inspired!
Have fun creating!

Fun Times with Terhi

Hi everyone, it’s Terhi here again!
When you start creating a scrapbook page, which is leading you: the photograph or the products?

For me this answer is simple.
The photographs and the memories. And I must admit sometimes I can’t stop myself from saving a precious photo as long as I find the right supplies for it.
However, this time the process of creating started started very differently, when I saw the most inspiring cut file ever.
*The cut file is from Paige Evans

The beautiful circle design kind of funny one and as I love backing cut files I thought it would be wonderful to use the cut file as a colour wheel, with the brightest colors I could find. So I did and I found, all thanks to Pebbles.
I used patterned papers from “Happy Cake Day” line and created four coloured colour wheel for the background of the page.
I had four selfies waiting for the perfect products to scrapbook with, and I love the way black and white photos goes with colourful design.
Also, these selfies aren’t very seriously taken and the story behind tells about how much we all laugh together, so all the colors and design supports the theme.

Once I was ready with the background, I dived in to my scraps and found lots of colourful blooms to decorate the page. All from Pebbles of course, from the lines below:
Big Top Dreams
Chasing Adventures
This is Family
Heart of Home
I cut out as much flowers and blooms as possible and layered the flowers to make them more dimensional. To create the flowers I followed my own tutorial from last fall, please watch it here from my YouTube channel.

To finish this colourful and fun layout I added the photographs vertically in the middle and wrote a small title with thickers from Big Top Dreams.

Inspiring? Hope so! Let me know what you think by writing a comment below. I’ll be here reading them while I’m waiting to see the new lines from Pebbles arrive at my house.
