Happy Birthday Layout

Hi, Renee here to share how I put together this Happy Birthday layout using the adorable Spring Fling collection.  We are celebrating another St. Patrick’s Day soon and with that another birthday for our sweet baby, Payton!  She turns nine and is super excited for her sleepover party.  I made this layout with a favorite photo from last year’s celebration.

I started by layering a couple of DIY Home die-cut frames onto my 2¾” x 2¾” photo.  The blue frame measures 4″ x 4″ and the white scalloped frame measures 3¼” x 3¼”.

I used the Honey Bee pattern paper as my background.  I trimmed off the bottom strip of the Celebration pattern paper and adhered it to the top of my page.  I trimmed off the bottom strip of the Spring Fling and a row of dots from the Strawberry Fields pattern papers and adhered them along the bottom of my page.  I also added a 5¾” x 12″ piece from the Chalkboard Floral pattern paper.

I added my framed photo and a 3″ x 4″ card from the Cut-Outs paper.

Great layers of Die-Cuts to embellish my page.

I added a party hat and pretty cake Stickers and a number “8” gold foam Thicker to my page.

For my title, I combined the Gold Phrases Sticker with the Floral Chipboard to make “Happy Birthday”.

I made a bow embellishment from the From Me to You pattern paper and added a cupcake Sticker to my page.

Birthday Cards

Hi, Renee here to share some Birthday cards using the Spring Fling collection.  Oh my gosh, I am in LOVE with this collection…bright happy colors, perfect for any style project you have, and perfect for any occasion (birthdays, babies, congratulations, Easter, graduations, thank you, weddings, etc.).  Never ending list of possibilities!

A new spring season brings many birthdays for us to celebrate.  Right now, I’m having fun planning and preparing for my girls upcoming birthdays.  House parties that include Payton’s Sleepover Party (her first one) and Caitie’s Craft Party.  It’s a super exciting and a busy time for me.  So, I wanted to build-up a stash of Birthday cards to give to family.

Birthday Cards by @reneezwirek using the #SpringFling collection by @pebblesinc

Here are the supplies I used for the first card:

Birthday Cards by @reneezwirek using the #SpringFling collection by @pebblesinc

My blue cardstock base measures 5″ x 7″.  I used a bit of adhesive to add the Spring Fling (trimmed to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″) and Chalkboard Floral (trimmed to 4 7/8″ x 6 ¼”) pattern papers to my card.  I added machine stitching along the top and bottom of the Chalkboard Floral pattern paper.

To embellishment my card, I layered a pretty Rosette with a gold foiled doily Die-Cut.  I added a pretty flower bouquet and birthday cake Die-Cuts.  I used a “Happy Birthday” banner for the sentiment on my card.  Then, I changed my mind about using the Puffy Stickers and instead added a heart Sticker.  I splattered some Golden Color Mist for a final touch.

Here are the supplies I used for the next card:

My light gray cardstock base measures 5″ x 7″.  I used a bit of adhesive to add the Party Time (trimmed to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″) and Chalkboard Floral (trimmed to 4 ½” x 6 ½”) pattern papers to my card.  I layered vellum trimmed to fit over the Chalkboard Floral pattern paper and added machine stitching around my card.

To embellishment my card, I first placed a beautiful balloon bouquet Sticker onto my card.  I used a “Birthday Wishes” Label Sticker for the sentiment on my card.  I could have peeled and placed the label sticker right onto the vellum layer but I wanted it to have dimension.  I turned the pretty flower bouquet Sticker into a party hat and topped it off with a wood veneer pom-pom.  I also added a cute little bird Sticker and a flower Puffy Sticker.  I splattered some Golden Color Mist again for a final touch.

Here are the supplies I used for the last card:

My yellow cardstock base measures 5″ x 7″.  I used a bit of adhesive to add the Blossoms (trimmed to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″) and Celebration (trimmed to 3 ½” x 6 7/8″) pattern papers to my card.  I added machine stitching along the edge of the Celebration pattern paper.

To embellishment my card, I backed the Vellum Quote Card with a 3″ x 4″ piece of smooth white cardstock and used it for the sentiment on my card.  I added a beautiful birthday cake and butterfly Stickers to my card.  Since I knew where I would place my stickers, I used those spots to add adhesive dots under my Vellum Quote Card and attach it to the white cardstock.  For a final touch, I added a couple of flower Puffy Stickers

Banner Shaped Birthday Cards

Hi, Renee here today to share a step-by-step tutorial on how I made these summer-themed banner shaped birthday cards using the Fun In The Sun collection and the We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board.  So quick to make!  I also kept the designs simple so that each banner shaped card can fit into any 4″ x 5.5″ envelope and not require extra postage if you mail them.

Banner Shaped Birthday Cards by @reneezwirek using the #FunInTheSun collection by @Pebbles Inc. and the #BannerPunchBoard by @We R Memory Keepers

I started by trimming the cardstocks down to 4″ x 5.5″ (folded size).  I used the We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board to create Flags.

I used this circle shape template and this shape cutter tool to create windows in each card.

I adhered my pattern papers to each card making sure I cut the windows out first.

I cut out a scallop circle border for each window…

and adhered it to each card. I also added an adorable Layered Sticker to each card.  They look so cute showing through the card window!

For a final touch, I added a Happy Birthday Rub-On to the front of each card.

I used the From Me to You Roller Stamp to add a short but sweet message inside each card.

Winter Snowflake Gift Packaging

Winter Snow Themed Gift Packaging by Mendi Yoshikawa using #HomeForChristmas & #BirthdayWishes collection from @PebblesInc. @SnippetsByMendi

Hello there! It’s Mendi here today with some snowflake themed gift packaging perfect for your Winter Birthday gift giving needs.

Up first I have a little gift bag I created with We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board and some papers from Pebbles Birthday Wishes collection. I love how the addition of a simple snowflake punch gives these versatile papers a completely new look!

Winter Snow Themed Gift Packaging by Mendi Yoshikawa using #HomeForChristmas & #BirthdayWishes collection from @PebblesInc. @SnippetsByMendi

I cut an extra 12″ x 1.75″ strip from the polka-dot paper and punched a scalloped edge with a border punch. I was then able to use the punch board to add the score lines and adhere it to the top of my little bag for a fun decorative element.

To give my layered snowflake punches a little pizzazz, I added some glitter glue to my punched pieces and topped them with an over-sized sequin and rhinestone. When they were completely dry, I adhered them to a bow on the front of my bag with a fast drying liquid adhesive.

For my other little gift box, I used We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board and set to work decorating it using more basic snowflake punches in my stash and some cute “to” and “from” stamps by Lawn Fawn.

To create the perfect sized belly band around my pillow box, I was able to use the same punch board to score my lines using my completed pillow box as a guide. I love when I’m able to perform multiple tasks using one tool!
