Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing two interactive cards made with the lovely Happy Cake Day line.

Create an interactive birthday card that will wow your friends with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the Happy Cake day Line by @pebblesinc

This line is perfect for all your celebrations! The designs are playful and fun and you can use it for an adult birthday party and a child also! it is super versatile!

To create these cards, I started by cutting a card base, a patterned paper, and a 3,5-inch circle.

I also cut a 3,5-inch circle to use as my template. I pierced a hole in the middle and also cut the 1-inch window I was going to use for my card.

I searched my patterned paper for a big birthday cake and found it in this paper. It was the perfect size for my card!

Next, I used my template to pierce the center hole and the window on my patterned paper. This step is very important because you want all your elements to be aligned perfectly.

After that, I used a brad to hold the patterned paper and the circle together and added my cake with 3d dots on top.

Next, cut different animals from the patterned paper and glued them on the window. To allow the wheel to turn easily, I punched the edge of my card with a circle punch.

The puffy dots are super fun and add a festive touch to the card.

Happy Birthday Card Set

Hi Friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a set of quick and easy birthday cards! I wanted to make a set of cards with the unique peek-a-boo strip on the right side. In other words, the front of the card is just a bit more narrow than the back – and the stripe that appears to be on the right edge of the front is actually the back, so it’s still visible when the card is open.

I used products from a few different collections, but mainly from the Happy Cake Day collection. (You’ll find some Sun & Fun and Hey Hello mixed in as well. Want to see how easy it is to make these cards? First, you’ll need a few supplies:

And in just a few quick steps, you can have a completed card (or set of cards)! Step 1 is adding the strip to the right edge.

Now cover the front of the card with a coordinating patterned paper:

Use a small circle punch to create notches in the fatter paper strip – wrap with string and tie in a bow. Add this piece to the card front.

Now place the 3×4 card on the front. Use foam adhesive square for added dimension if desired!

Next, add a puffy sticker just for a bit of whimsy!

That’s it! The card is complete!

Repeat the same process to create an entire set of fun and unique cards!

All Occasion Cards with Lovely Moments

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia back today with an all occasion card idea for you using the Lovely Moments collection. This time of year I need birthday cards, sympathy cards, get well cards, graduation cards, shower cards, and wedding cards. This card design could be used for all of these occasions. Just change out the sentiment.

The folded flower on these cards has a quilted look that caught my eye. Aren’t they gorgeous! This is a card you can make with a circle punch or circle cutter.

Let me show you how you can make one too….

Step 1. Punch or cut 8 – 2″ circles and 1 – 3″ circle. You will see both sides of the scrapbook paper, so choose a paper where the two sides coordinate well together. I prefer to use a smaller floral print as well. This allows you to see the flowers after folding.

Step 2. Fold each of the 2″ circles in half, then in half again.

Step 3. Fold just the top layer of paper down. Turn over and repeat on the other side. It should look like this…

Step 4. Unfold the circles except for the last fold.

Step 5. With the folded side face down (see green circle above), take the folded sides and bring to the middle crease. It should look like this. Repeat for all 8 circles.

Step 6. Apply some glue to the middle of your 3″ circle. Start laying your folded circle pieces down leaving a slight gap between.

If you want a very flat flower, press in a book for a while. I like a little dimension though, so I left my flower as is. Add a button or a brad in the center of your flower. Now you can add to a card base along with a sentiment. Make your own card base using pattern papers or use a ready made card from the Lovely Moments card box.

I love how these turned out. They are so pretty with the Lovely Moments pattern papers. I hope you give this a try yourself.

Supplies:
Lovely Moments 12×12 Patterned Paper Pad 
Lovely Moments Cards
Lovely Moments Icon Ephemera
Lovely Moments Phrase Ephemera

Hey, Hello Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia back today. I’ve been playing with the beautiful new Hey, Hello collection from Jen Hadfield. This collection is a cardmakers dream! So many elements that can be layered to make gorgeous cards for any occasion; Birthday, Sympathy, Thank You, Thinking of You, and so much more. The first cards I created were birthday cards. I always need birthday cards. I bet you do too. Check these out…

This little hedgehog is the cutest! He is all ready to celebrate with you!! The Hey, Hello collection has a sheet of 12×12 pattern paper full of tags like this one. They are excellent for cardmaking layered over a couple other pieces of pattern paper.

There is also a sheet of 12×12 pattern paper with 3×4 journal cards perfect for cardmaking as well. This card features an adorable sloth.

Then I made a sympathy and a thank you card using beautiful florals and black pattern paper for striking contrast.

My sympathy card is also made from a 3×4 journal card. I added some florals for dimension, a dainty bow, and a few nuvo drops for interest.

There is another 12×12 sheet of pattern paper with 2×2 squares, giving you another option for layering on cards.

This last one might be my favorite. I tucked in some fussy cut florals and used lots of layers. Another bow and nuvo drops add interest. My tip for cardmaking: Use some foam dots to help separate the layers like I did here.

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you are a cardmaker, this is one collection you NEED!
