Hello Autumn | This is Family

09

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with some inspiration on how you can use your scraps to create a layout. This layout was completely created with scraps from the This is Family collection by Jen Hadfield. I love the mix of colors in this collection and thought it would be beautiful to use my scraps to back an Autumn cut file.

I found this cute fox and Autumn title in the Handipaper Etsy store. It did take me a while to back these two cut files but it was so worth it. There are a few tricks you can use to make it a little easier. I was able to separate out the letters from the cut file (try Ungroup or Release Compound Path in Silhouette Studio). This allowed me to use the offset feature and cut them from pattern papers slightly bigger than the openings. Autumn is a colorful season so I wanted to include lots of different colors and patterns to back my cut files… scraps are perfect!

It is difficult to see just how pretty that foiled Hello ephemera piece is. The rose gold foil is perfect for fall. I love the transparent ephemera pieces as well. A few fussy cut leaves look great on my mixed media background. I used one of the tags from the tag pad to journal on and tucked it behind my photo. I often hide my journaling using these tags.

Does this layout have you craving all things fall; cozy sweaters, cute scarfs and boots, pumpkin spice lattes, apples, and beautiful colorful leaves. I sure am. Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you try this technique with some of your scraps too.

Back 2 School

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with a Back 2 School layout. I love to see the excitement on little kids faces as they head off to school for the first time. They are so happy that they are finally old enough, especially if they have been watching older brothers and sisters head off to school. Too bad that excitement wanes as they get older. I captured that excitement in a scrapbook layout I created with the new This is Family collection by Jen Hadfield.

I used a new back to school cut file by Paige Evans. I love this stack of books with the title placed carefully in the pages. I backed the bookcovers in the cut file with beautiful pattern papers. Then I fussy cut a house from one of the pattern papers. It reminds me of a little red schoolhouse.

There is this cute caterpillar on top of the books.

I figured this snail die cut would fit right in.

I created dimension by fussy cutting out leaves from the pattern paper and adding foam tape behind.

I hope your kids are excited to head back to school. Have a great week!

DIY Patterned Paper Fall Banner

Hello Pebbles fans! It’s Monique on the blog today sharing a fun and easy DIY Fall project: a decorative banner to bring an Autumn feel to any room! As Autumn is my favorite season of the year I love creating projects like these to brighten up my home. For today’s project I chose the awesome Woodland Forest collection with the beautiful patterns and cute die-cuts.

Decorative Fall Banner made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #WoodlandForest collection from @PebblesInc.

To create the six pennants I chose six different patterned papers and three different colored sheets of cardstock. The 6 pennants each measure 7.5″ x 5.5″.

Before adhering the patterned papers to the cardstock pieces I embellished and machine stitched them first. I cut the word “Fall” from the Apple Cider sheet, using the mini alphabet punch board from We R Memory Keepers:

This was so much fun and so super easy to do! The punch board comes with an instruction booklet with instructions on how to create each letter of the alphabet, plus the & and the ! and the numbers 0 – 9.

Once the letters and the embellishments were in place I assembled all the pieces of the banner and used some orange colored twine to string them together. I really love the result!

Quick Gift: Framed Pumpkin Project

Hello Pebbles Friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a really quick and easy (and super cute) framed pumpkin project.  I really love sharing little seasonal gifts with my neighbors and friends.  Usually I share a treat – but every once in a while, I get a wild hair and want to create something a bit different.  I was at a local craft fair recently and noticed all of the cute framed 3-dimensional wood decor.  I don’t have a lot of fancy wood-cutting equipment and I can’t paint…but I do have a plethora of random frames and a passion for paper – so here’s what I came up with for my quick little autumn gifts:
Create a quick and easy home decor gift with a few simple steps! Framed pumpkins by @wendysue with the #WoodlandForest and #TrickOrTreat Collections by @Pebblesinc.

This project could easily be whipped up in 15 minutes or less, once the supplies are gathered and set up!  And, best of all, it’s so easy that the kids can even help!

Start by cutting a bunch of pumpkin shapes – I used my Silhouette cameo because it makes the process super quick.  You could trace and cut the shapes out by hand too.  I cut about 18 shapes out of regular cardstock.

Next, for the dimension, stack up the shapes and glue them together.  A simple glue stick works great.  The more pumpkins you cut, the more dimensional your finished project will be.  The top layer will be covered with patterned paper.  Don’t forget the stem!

Add stickers, tags, jute…whatever embellishments you’d like to make it personalized.

Now pull out a frame – you can paint, decoupage, or use it just as it is – it’s up to you!  Add a piece of patterned paper directly over the glass.  Create a quick and easy home decor gift with a few simple steps!

Simply glue your pumpkin to the patterned paper background!

Fall Colours + Memories = Card Inspiration!

Hey there Pebbles Friends! It is Leanne here today sharing some cards inspired by the glorious Fall colours in the new Woodland Forest collection! Even though the weather is warming up in preparation for Spring and Summer here in Australia, when I think of Autumn, clear images come to mind. I love the fresh crispness in the air, the calming orange sunsets and cool evening, outdoor parties with friends. With those images in mind, I have created three cards inspired simply by these memories.

The first card is clean and simple. I have focused on the crisp white with gold foil accents of the patterned paper and added gold foil alpha stickers.

After fussy cutting the leaves and placing them in a wreath like circle on the base cardstock, I have layered a wood grain sentiment directly over the top.

The second and third cards have been created with the help of the new We R Memories Frame Punch Board.

The “Just for You” card was inspired by my love of sunsets in Autumn. What I love most is, there always seems to be a halo of lazy orange colours at sunset. The orange cardstock frame bordering the card helps to represent this idea.

The final card has been created in reminiscence of outdoor family gathering in the evening. I love the string of party lights against a background of tunnelled frames.
