Forever My Always projects with Guest Enza Gudor!

Hello everyone! My name is Enza Gudor, and I am so excited to be here this month to share some projects with you. I have always loved Pebbles collections, so I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to create with one of my favorite lines: Forever My Always.

This first project is a layout. Although I love all kinds of crafts, I’m a scrapbooker at heart. For the “Who do you love” theme this week, I decided to go with a picture of my little ones.

Guest blogger @enzam78 worked her Forever my Always paper into beautiful projects! Thanks for joining us, we know you'll be inspired! @pebblesinc

My idea was to create a soft and sweet layout that complemented the photo. As it often happens, I started with a cut file. I love all the tiny butterflies on the background, and the dreamy and whimsical look they bring to the page. I layered some of them with vellum for more dimension, while I kept the other ones as a single layer to let the mint patterned paper peek through. Most of them were hand-stitched down to keep them in place.

Since the background was pretty busy, I decided to limit myself with the rest of the embellishments. How difficult it was! I love every single piece in this collection! I simply adhered the photo down with foam adhesive for dimension and framed it with stickers and die-cuts. The dimensional rosettes, as well as the floral images and sweet sentiments, are absolutely lovely.

To balance the bottom left corner and to finish the layout, I layered three of the Foil and Foam Sticker hearts in the opposite corner of the page.

My second project is a card/gift duo. Random Acts of Kindness Day is coming up next week, so I thought it would be fun to share how I’m planning to surprise and lift someone’s spirit with an unexpected card or small present.

Guest blogger @enzam78 worked her Forever my Always paper into beautiful projects! Thanks for joining us, we know you'll be inspired! @pebblesincFor the card, I mostly used the 6×6 Paper Pad. The smaller patterns are perfect for the 5’x5′ inch format of this card.

Guest blogger @enzam78 worked her Forever my Always paper into beautiful projects! Thanks for joining us, we know you'll be inspired! @pebblesincThe circular rosette inspired the floral design. The cut file I used for the top layer lets the fun polka dot paper come through and bring in a contrasting color. I tucked some floral die-cuts and stickers on opposite sides of the rosette and added some enamel dots as a finishing touch.

The little gift box was a lot of fun to make!

Guest blogger @enzam78 worked her Forever my Always paper into beautiful projects! Thanks for joining us, we know you'll be inspired! @pebblesinc

After assembling the box, which I cut with my electronic die cutting machine out of several patterned papers from the collection, I started working on the lid to recreate the same floral idea of the card. First, I glued the ribbon in place to keep it from moving. I went on building the layers of the flowers by adhering the following elements on top of each other: die-cut petals (which I curved a little to make them look more realistic), fussy-cut leaves, and the heart rosette that I love so much. I find that the sentiment is perfect and the dimension it adds is fantastic!

I finished it all with some foliage from my stash.

Create beautiful waterfall cards for Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day Pebbles Friends!!! It’s Leanne here today, sharing a Forever My Always interactive project that you will love! It is so easy to create beautiful waterfall cards for Valentine’s Day that include your very own special messages. You will love the end result so much, I can guarantee you will create multiples of these cards just for fun! Check out the step by step guide below.

Valentines Day Waterfall Card

 

Gather you supplies.

step 1. I have used the new Forever My Always collection and in particular, the XOXO Quotes patterned paper. These 3″x4″ cut apart cards are ready to be used for a quick assembly. Choose your five favourite sentiments.

Valentines Day Waterfall Card

 

Assembling the card.

step 2. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 12″x3.25″. The width of the cardstock is important if you want your waterfall card to have a small white border around the outside edge of the 3″x4″ cut aparts.

step 3. Score fold lines in the white cardstock. These lines are measured, starting at where the top of the cut apart card will sit on the cardstock. Allow a small white border on the lower edge of the cut apart for consistency with the rest of the card. Mark the position of the cut apart and score your first fold line. Score four more lines at 1cm intervals.

step 4. Adhere a small strip of double sided tape to the very top of the cut apart card where the last 3″x4″ note will be revealed. Adhere it to the cardstock directly below the original scored fold line. Add more strips of double sided tape between each of the remaining fold lines.

step 5. Carefully add the remaining 3″x4″ cards to the adhesive strips. It is important not to add adhesive to any other area or the waterfall card will not have a smooth action.

Card Movement.

step 6. Trim a 1cm x 12″ strip of additional white cardstock.

step 7. Position this cardstock strip underneath the waterfall card and fold the strip to allow it to wrap around the width of the card. Trim the excess.

step 8. This step is tricky. It is important to only add adhesive to the tabs of the cardstock strip that will sit directly below the bottom 3″x4″ cut apart card. The cardstock strip at the back of the waterfall card needs to be adhesive free for the card to work.

step 9. Create a tab with the excess white cardstock base by marking and cutting a pennant/triangle pull down edge.

 

Embellishing and finishing.

step 10. Embellish the reverse side of each 3″x4″ card with patterned paper or personalised love notes.

Valentines Day Waterfall Card

To move your card, gently hold the edges where the cardstock strip is situated. Pull down on the tab and watch the love notes be revealed.

Decorated Letter Board for Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Week, friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing my letter board, all decked out for the big day of love! I love the versatility of switching out cute/funny quotes on my board often, but I wanted to take it a step further this time and decorate it even more! I created several paper banners to hang on the top of my board, and I also used some cute foam thickers, along with the “Love” letterboard collection by DCWV.  Here’s how it turned out:

Here are some of the details.

I cut lots of hearts from the “XO” patterned paper and used my sewing machine to stitch them together to create the top heart banner.

The second banner was created the same way, with slightly smaller hearts, cut from two coordinating patterned papers.

For the larger banner, with photos of my kiddos, I printed the photos out at 2″ square.

Then I placed each photo on a banner, cut from the pink gingham paper.

I used foam adhesive to attach the photos.  And I embellished each one with stickers.  After stringing the banners on white twine, I hung the banner below the hearts.

I might be breaking some unwritten rules, but I really wanted to add these gorgeous gold thickers to complete my board, so I did!

Forever My Always, Valentine!

Hi Pebbles Fans!

Amanda here, & today I am sharing some Valentine’s Day card inspiration with our gorgeous Forever My Always collection! I just adore this holiday! Nothing more beautiful than proclaiming your love (or secret admiration) to that special someone! I am so blessed to have three very special people in my life; a loving husband, and two darling children! I have created a trio of Forever My Always cards to surprise them with….

Oh aren’t they something?!  3 pattern papers, three very pretty cards!

Here’s how to recreate them!

Start with trimming up pattern paper, XOXO Quotes. The 3×4 journal cards on this paper make card making a dream! Select which sentiments work best for your beloved – everything in this line coordinates beautifully, so any of the XOXO Quote cards will be perfect!

Tip: I even trim the reverse (pattern side) of the barcode strip, to use in my cards too!

My card ‘planning’ starts off by arranging pattern papers with the trimmed 3×4 journal cards, and a few pieces of ephemera….

I like to shuffle my pattern papers around and make sure I’m happy with my design before I start gluing.

I just LOVE the combination of the diagonal stripe paper, Follow Your Heart and floral print, Sprinkled Blossoms, so I decide to use them as my feature papers on all 3 cards.

Here’s my first card which is for my One True Love, “I Think About You A Lot”….

SO pretty!

To recreate:

1.Trim pattern paper Follow Your Hear to 8 1/4″ wide x 6″ long. Score and fold in half to create your 4″ x 6″ card.

2. Trim pattern paper Sprinkled Blossoms to 4″ wide x 3 1/2 ” long.

3. Adhere pattern papers together ( as shown below)

4. Tape the journal card and ephemera into position. Use adhesive foam dots for the sentiment, to make it ‘pop’.

5. Embellish with a sewn button, and some fabulous Forever My Always 6 x 12 Stickers. Voila!

Absolutely perfect, indeed!

Next up is this fun Valentine for my tween-age daughter, “Heart Mail”…..

Still loved up and oh-so-pretty,  but much cooler for a young girl!

Here’s how:

1. Trim pattern paper Sprinkled Blossoms to 8 1/4″ wide x 6″ long. Score and fold in half to create card base.

2. Trim pattern paper Follow Your Heart to 3 3/4″ wide x 5 1/2″ long.

3. Attach pink satin ribbon to Follow Your Heart Paper, & then attach the XOXO Quotes sentiment card. Using the same ribbon, add a bow to the top of the 3 x 4 card. (shown below)

Tip: To make this card less formal and more ‘young ‘n’ fun’, I use my Becky Higgins Project Life Corner Rounder Punch on my 3 x 4 card. Such a simple, but effective result!

4. Using thick foam tape, attach the Follow Your Heart embellished paper to the Sprinkled Blossoms card base.

5. Embellish with the Heart Mail 6 x 12 Sticker & a few buttons from your sewing kit.

Love it!

Last, but by no means least, is this lovely card for my darling Mister 5, “You’re Pretty Much My Favorite Person”….

This is just gorgeous!

1. Trim white cardstock to 8 1/4″ wide x 6″ long. Score and fold in half to create card base.

2. Trim pattern paper Sprinkled Blossoms to 4″ wide x 3 3/4″ long.

3. Trim pattern paper Follow Your Heart to 3 1/2″ wide x 5 1/2″ long.

4. Tape the Sprinkled Blossoms paper to the bottom of the cardstock base. Attach satin ribbon to Follow Your Heart paper, and then tape this pattern paper over the top of the Sprinkled Blossoms and white cardstock base, as shown below.

5. Apply foam dots to the XOXO Quotes 3 x 4 card, and then position over the ribbon trim.

6. Embellish with lace trim, button & twine and another of those fabulous 6 x 12 Stickers.

   

Voila! Three papers, 3 very special Valentine’s Day cards.

I hope I have inspired you to get creating with our beautiful Forever My Always collection!

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo
