“Hello Summer” Layout

Hi friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today – did you know that tomorrow is officially the first day of Summer? (And my sister’s birthday – happy b-day, sis!) We don’t have any big vacation plans this year, but I have plenty of photos from summer vacations we’ve taken the last few years, so instead of being sad about having to cancel this year’s vacation, I’m reminiscing by scrapbooking previous trips.

Exactly three years ago, we took our kids on an RV trip up to Yellowstone. It was so much fun and I am so grateful we were able to take this trip! I have more photos than I’ll ever scrapbook, but some of my favorites are just random pictures of the kids all together. So that’s what I included on this page. (Also, note that they are wearing coats and hoodies in one picture – there was SNOW in Yellowstone in JUNE!!)

I used products from a couple of different collections – “Hey Hello” and “Fun & Fun” plus a strip of orange washi from “Happy Hooray!” I love when you can mix and match collections to get just the right vibe!

I used thickers for the pink title on the bottom of my page and I couldn’t resist adding the two dots from the exclamation points (!!) to add some pink cheeks to the sunshine!

You’ll also spy a bit of machine stitching as well – it’s probably one of my all-time favorite techniques!

Of course I had to use foam adhesive behind some of the printed die-cuts because I love adding subtle touches of dimension!

So whether you have big plans for this summer or if you’re choosing to stay home, you can still enjoy all the summer memories by creating a layout! What are your summer plans? Are you scrapbooking? We’d love to see what you’re up to – drop a comment below!!

Summer Shaped Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I thought it would be fun to create some shaped cards with the Pebbles Sun & Fun collection. I love creating shaped cards. I think they add a little whimsy to any occasion.

The inspiration for my surfboard card was all the adorable die cut ephemera kids in bathing attire. I thought surfboards would make a cool backdrop for them. I used a SVGcuts cut file. This card opens almost in the middle, with two surfboards on the left and one on the right of the opening.

I popped the die cuts up with foam dots for dimension and even added a fussy cut beach ball. There are a number of different sentiments in the ephemera pack that fit lots of different occasions. Puffy dot stickers add more dimension.

The “You’re One In A Melon” journal card inspired this next card. The watermelon slice was a Silhouette cut file. By duplicating the shape and welding the two slices together at the top, I was able to create my very own watermelon card.

The die cut watermelon in the ephemera pack was popped up on foam and attached to the front of this card. Once again, I added some puffy dot stickers for dimension.

Why not create a summer card yourself and send off to brighten someone’s day. Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Sun & Fun Patterned papers
Sun & Fun Puffy Dots
Sun & Fun Ephemera

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today, sharing an easy summer layout using Pebbles’ new line: Sun & Fun

create a fun and easy summer layout with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using @pebblesinc new line Sun & Fun

This layout is fun and cheerful and I love the bright colors and the summer designs of this line, it is perfect to scrap your summer adventures!

To create this layout, I started by cutting 2 inch wide strips of paper and then cutting some triangles.

I placed those triangles behind a 7 1/2 inch circle and bent the edges a bit to give the layout a bit more texture.

Next, I added my picture on top of the circle and embellished it with some die cuts.

I felt something was missing, so I added a few strips of patterned paper on the bottom. I cut the edges with a border punch and I also bent the edges of the strips.

Finally, I added my title and some more triangles to the sun.

I love these word stickers! You can bend them if you want and they have a variety of fonts!

On the waves, I added a few fishes from one of the die cuts and some light blue puffy dots.

Hello Summer! | Terhi

Hey all!
It’s Terhi Koskinen here sharing you some tips to capture your summer memories in a beautiful way. I’m using Pebbles Sun and Fun collection, which is my most favorite line to scrapbook summer themed layouts.

If I can choose a photo for my layout I want to create, I often choose one taken with a good camera, people staying still with pretty smiles and even choosing photos edited in proper way.
This summer I will challenge myself to use more photos taken randomly, just like the one on this bright and colorful layout.

As the photo is a bit blurry and small, I decided to bring the feeling from it to the layout. My girls and their Grandpa were showing the fish they got, and the excitement was one of the things I wanted to honor. Colors are perfect for this! I picked up three bright colors from Sun and Fun patterned papers, pink, blue and green. Bringing the feeling from the photo to the layout is always a key to success.

In addition to bright colors, I added lots and lots of details to catch attention from the blurry photo. There are bits and pieces of patterned papers, ephemera, fussy cut pieces, washi tapes and much more! Also, there are words and phrases supporting the great feeling from the photo.
Finally, I finished the page by adding watercolor details close to matching colors.

What do you think, could you use more everyday photos? How about making a layout with lots of details? And maybe even finish it with some watercolor elements!
Hope you feel inspired! Have a great day!

Super Easy Envelope Cards | Terhi

Leave a Comment

Hi Friends! Terhi here with a super simple but very creative idea for your next cards to make.

Sunny summer starts soon and as usual, I want to make sure I have couple of spare cards to give away if needed. And I like the cards to be themed with the ongoing season. Therefore, Sun and Fun papers and embellishments are playing the main role with these cards.

To create a simple envelope, I used We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board. It’s very easy to use and in just a couple of minutes I had envelope in my hands just in a size I wanted to.

In order to use the envelope both as a card and an envelope, I didn’t add any adhesives. To replace glue and all other permanent attachments, I only added some washi tapes to close the envelopes. This way the receiver can open it, read it, and again close it.

The front sides of the envelopes are decorated with Sun and Fun ephemera and couple of layered flowers I had left from creating a wreath (link).

To make the cards matching any occasion I chose to use sentiments like “Hooray!” or “Hello there!”, as these are not preferring to specific celebrations. “Hellos” can be said any day, just to wish a happy day!

Finally to finish up the cards I added some fussy cut butterflies here and there. The butterflies and puffy dot stickers makes the perfect details for the lovely layered cards.

Hope you feel inspired!
