Party Banner and Favors ft. My Bright Life

Jul

Hello Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro on the blog today sharing a quick tutorial on how to make a banner and some quick favors for your next party

I think it is fun to decorate kid’s parties but I also love to include some handmade details for our parties with friends. The new “My Bright Life” collection it is perfect for your next party. The patterns are great for any occasion and there are several “thank you” sentiments in the line!

To create the banner I cut some 4 x 3,5 inch squares and created a banner using my Banner Punch Board.

On top of the papers I glued a 3,5 x 1 3/4 inch white cardstock strip, I used a dotted cardstock by Bazzill to add a fun texture!

I cut the Happy Day phrase on my electronic cutting machine and added the letters with some foam dots.

I used a yellow string to put together my banner. This banner is very simple and it would work with any party theme!

I also made some easy favors. I simply put some homemade cookies inside a kraft bag, used the same yellow thread to close them and added stickers and die cuts to decorate.

You can decorate your bags with die cuts, tags, embroidery hoops, flowers, etc!

Did I mention that this line has the cutest sayings and florals? and what about those fonts! absolutely adorable!

And there you go! Some simple decorations that can add a special touch to any party!

Have a great Day!

DIY Baby Room Decor

Feb

Leave a Comment

Hello, friends. Heather Leopard is here with a special delivery today…a quick and easy DIY Baby room decor item, perfect for a baby’s room. It can also double as a gift wrap decor that can then later be used in the nursery.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Embroidery Hoop
12×12 patterned paper
die cut embellishments
Stickers
Liquid adhesive or glue dots
foam squares
sewing machine

The first thing you’ll do is cut a circle just a bit larger than the inside of the embroidery hoop. I simply took the hoop apart and traced along the outside. Once cut, attach to the back of the hoop. Trust me, this is the easiest route and also helps add dimension to the project.

Next, choose a few die cuts to make a banner.

Stitch them together using a sewing machine.

Position them across the top of the hoop. Adhere the edges to the hoop. Add foam dots to the back of the die cuts that are in the middle of the hoop.

Lastly, add the babies name to the open area of the hoop and embellish around the name as well as around the hoop to your liking. Now you have the perfect DIY baby room decor for your sweet bundle of joy!

Fruit Treat Bags

Hello Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro here today showing you the perfect summer treat bags!

The fruit trend is all over the internet and today I want to show you how to make these easy treat bags that I am sure everyone will love!

Start with a 4 by 6 inch paper. I am using a red one for my strawberry, a yellow with a geometric pattern for my pineapple and a lovely pink ombre for my watermelon.

You are also going to need some leaves for your strawberry and strips of white and green cardstock for the watermelon. Both decorations are 6 inch wide and for the strawberry leaves simply bent the paper in half and then hand cut the shape.

Roll your paper and seal the bag with your Sticky Thumb Cordless Hot Glue Gun. For my watermelon I draw some seeds on my paper and attached my white and green cardstock strips to the bottom.

Close the bottom of your treat bag and fill it, put some hot glue on the other edge and seal it in the opposite direction.

Here you can see my 3 treat bags in progress.

Glue the strawberry leaves and hand cut some leaves for your pineapple, bend them a little and glue them with your Hot Glue Cordless Glue.

Use a circle punch to cut some sentiments from this paper and attach them to your treat bags with some foam dots.

And here you can see the final result! I think these turned out super cute! and they are perfect for a picnic or a summer party theme.

You probably already saw some cute posts here on the blog with the fruit theme, but just in case you missed them here is a quick recap.

Have a great week!

Tall Cards for Summer

Jun

5 Comments

Are you stuck in a card making rut? It’s time to bid adieu to the old A2 stand-by and say hello to tall cards! Amanda here today with a fun and easy way to switch things up in the craft room. Forever a fan of Pebbles’ Chips die cut shapes, I couldn’t wait to use the new shapes from Fun in the Sun to make some super happy tall summer cards.

Wouldn’t it be fun to send a tall card disguised as a bill? Sending a card in a standard envelope will make it blend in with all of the other bills and junk mail making it a complete surprise.

The height of a tall card allows for fun designs that you just can’t fit on a regular A2 card. Doesn’t this card just make you want to have a cookout/BBQ/whatever-you-call-it? All of the fixins’ are right there on the card, complete with red gingham table cloth. Keep the blue tear strip on the patterned paper as it adds more color and helps balance the card.

These happy little crabs are just too much fun! Create a sandy beach with layers of cork or textured paper.

Yes, this is the most boring picture ever, but I promise there is a purpose. To make a tall card that will fit into a standard letter-size envelope, trim a piece of 8.5″x11″ paper down to 7″x8.5″. This is the piece you will fold in half for your tall card. The white piece is the leftover paper folded in half. Use this piece to make smaller cards. Waste not!

All of these cards came together quite organically as I played around with the Chips die cut shapes and patterned paper.

As I sorted through the Chips die cut shapes, I found a little cluster of yellow objects. This random grouping led me to choose a background paper that would make a monochromatic card. Sometimes a pile of objects on your messy desk (am I right?) will lead you to some fun card designs.

Happy Summer!
Amanda
