Happy Place Scrapbook Layout

We’re loving the clean, simple grid style showcased in Designer Kim Kesti’s “Happy Place” scrapbook layout.

Hang Tags and Frames

Using frames and tags from any of the Pebbles collections are perfect for grid style scrapbooking. Whether you use pocket pages or a traditional 12 X 12 format like I did, lining up a fun combination of hang tags and frames is a great technique for quick and easy pages.

I love the tiny black and white chevron pattern, so I purposely used three of the elements (a clothespin, washi tape and a pocket embellishment) to create a visual triangle. This gives my page a lot of interest, along with great balance.

Have you caught the St. Patty’s Day green fever yet? No? Well today’s the day. We hope you enjoy this fun lucky clover door hanger created by Designer Nina Yang.

St Patricks Day

Hello everyone! Nina here to share a quick and easy door hanger with a dimensional 4-leaf clover!

Lucky Door Hanger

I am always a fan of good basic patterns in cute colors. The Basics line from Pebbles is a must have for me. I just pulled out the greens for today’s project!

Lucky Clover Hanger 2 3.12.14

I cut the gingham paper to 4-1/4” x 9” and the floral paper to 4-1/4” x 6”, leaving the cute scallop border attached for more visual interest.

Lucky Clover Hanger 3 3.12.14

I adhered the two panels together, punched a hole, rounded the corners and the base of our door hanger was done!

Lucky Clover Hanger 4 3.12.14

I was inspired by the beautiful fan-fold butterfly embellishments from Pebbles Garden Party collection and decided to make a fan-fold 4-leaf clover. I drew a clover on some scrap paper to use as a template.

After some struggling, I finally had the pattern figured out! You can find a step-by-step tutorial and download a free pattern on my blog.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Tags

Time is running out on handmade, but Kim Jeffress is sharing some last minute holiday gift tags that you still have time to create!

Holiday Gift Tags

Hands up if you are always in need for last minute Christmas tags! I know I am so I created these tags that took me less than 30 minutes to make and they look super cute!

Last minute handmade gift tags

I went with papers that I had on hand , not a Christmas paper insight. In fact I used some Halloween pattern paper from the Thirty One collection for the base of my tags. I simply cut in half pages from the 6×6 pad.

I then tore out the red and green pages from the Basics Cardmaking pad and free- hand cut three different sized triangles for each tag.

Last minute holiday gift tags

I added in a small strip of pattern paper for the tree trunk then used my Xyron 3/8″ (10mm) Dots to adhere the triangles in the form of the leaves. I wanted the leaves to look like they are floating on the card. To complete I added some Opal dust glitter to the triangles for a festive feel.

Upcycled Treat Jars

Did you catch the fun Mason jars with 3-D tags we shared this morning? This afternoon we’re back, with a bit more modern take on the treat jar idea with Amanda, from Popper and Mimi.

Handmade Holiday Gifts

upcycled treat jars

All year long I save cute jars and cans for those last-minute gift giving moments.  Upcycling jars into treat cans is super easy and only takes a few minutes.  For extra flair, make your own gift bow to put on top.

upcycled treat jar tags

I usually choose the jar decor based on the type jar itself.  The jar on the left has a very hip and modern feel so I chose a simple candy with clean lines.  I chose a modern color palette and kept the tag and bow simple and crisp.  The jar on the right has a more rustic and country feel so I dolled it up with festive gingham and plenty of polka dots.  And just for fun, I call these the City Mouse and Country Mouse jars.

The tags on each jar are simple but still keep with the overall theme of each jar.  I trim most of my tags by hand.  I start with a rectangle, snip the corners, and punch a hole in the top.  Add a simple sentiment to the tag and the jar is ready to give.

Making handmade gift bows is quick and easy.  Here’s how I did it.
how to make a gift bow
Trim 7 lengths of ribbon–three at 5 3/4″, three at 4 1 /4″ and one at 2 1/2″.  Twist the ends of each ribbon and adhere to the center of the ribbon with an adhesive dot.  Adhere the similarly sized pieces together with adhesive dots and then stack the layers.  Fold the shortest ribbon into a circle and adhere to the center of the bow.
It only takes a few minutes to make a single bow.  I used 3/8″ ribbon for these bows, but you could easily use wider ribbon or even strips of paper.
