Monochromatic Card Set

May

Hello Pebbles friends!! It’s Wendy Sue back today, sharing a quick and easy card set featuring a monochromatic theme! It’s been a long time since I’ve attempted a monochromatic project, and I’d forgotten how much fun it is! There were many colors I could have chosen – so many gorgeous options from so many awesome Pebbles collections – but ultimately, I settled on the beautiful pink/coral color from the “This is Family” collection.

Monochromatic card set by Wendy Sue Anderson for @PebblesInc.

I loved flipping through the gorgeous paper stack, choosing matching colors and mixing fun patterns. Then, digging through my big glass jar filled with buttons, I was able to find the perfect accents for my card set. It was fun and easy, and after I chose the supplies, the cards came together so easily! Here’s what you’ll need for each card:

And here’s the easy process of assembling all the pieces:
Start with the blank card base, add the largest blog of patterned paper, then place the diagonally cut piece on top, lining up the edges.

Next, place the long strip over the seam and trim the edges.

Next, place the 3×4 pieces, slightly offset.

Finally, add the buttons with glue dots – tied with white thread.

Now that you know how quick and easy it is…make a few more!!

Have a happy day – filled with beautiful colors and happy designs (just like these cards)!!

Supplies I used:
This Is Family “Meal Time” Patterned Paper
This Is Family “House Plants” Patterned Paper
This Is Family “Flower Patch” Patterned Paper
This Is Family “Fun Times” Patterned Paper
White Cardstock

All Occasion Cards with Lovely Moments

May

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.

Unique Card for a Unique Mom

Hey all!
One week until time to celebrate something we all have: Mother.
Usually this is one of the highlights of the year in our family, but this year we are going to continue protecting our loved ones and not celebrating Mother’s Day together.
Thanks for technology, at least we can talk through videos and phone.

Instead of a hand made card, I decided on creating a mini book about a vacation we had together with my Mom last fall. We travelled to Canary Islands, just the two of us, to breath and relax. I have captured all the photos to my scrapbook albums, but thought these photos would offer highly appreciated memories to my Mom. Especially during the situation we are living in now.

The mini book has been created in very simple steps. The cover has three pieces of card board, all covered with beautiful patterned paper from Lovely Moments collection. To be specific, the paper is called “Springs”.
The pages inside are actually cards from the Lovely Moments Boxed Cards. Three cards together inside each other. Five card sets attached to the cover using embroidery thread. Firm knots, and that’s it!

To add some glamour and shiny elements for the cover, I added lots of sequins at the same with attaching the pages.
You only need a needle to make a book with adorable embellishments!

There are lots of photos inside the mini book, but also lots of empty space for my Mom to write her own memories. I used thickers to write couple main titles like “beach day” and “good night”, but the rest is for her to write.

I tried my best to make thick covers enough to keep the mini album closed. But again I made it too thin or too many pages. This happens every time!
In the end I solved the problem by adding lace ribbons to keep the book closed, and I think it looks better now.

Hope you have a moment to create something beautiful today!

Spring Vibe Birthday Cards

Hello Friends – and Happy Spring! Well…we had a few days with sunshine and temperatures above freezing, so it feels like spring to me! I realized recently that my birthday card stash is in need of some pretty girly cards, and I am absolutely loving the spring vibe in the new “Hey, Hello” collection. You know what that means, right?

Birthday Cards with a Spring Vibe by Wendy Sue Anderson for @PebblesInc. featuring the "Hey Hello" collection

Don’t these cards just shout Spring?!? The colors are soft and airy – and seriously, the most gorgeous flower colors! And bumblebees are always a sure sign of Spring! Let me share some closer looks:

I couldn’t resist using a bit of the black dotted washi on this card – It’s just the right amount of dark color to tie everything together!

Speaking of “tying everything together,” I tied pretty white bows on all of these cards – it’s such a soft touch that adds a bit of interest and texture – not to mention femininity on these floral cards! I actually cut this diagonal stripe washi in half – I wanted thinner strips and it was easy to cut it to fit my needs!

Did you notice how the flowers and bees are popping off the card? They are actually stickers, but I used powder to remove the stickiness, then added foam adhesive squares for dimension! I love layering pop dots double and triple thick to enhance the effect! And, oh, how I wish you could see the shimmer of this gold washi tape!

I doubled up on the sentiment tags for each card as well – double wishes are TWICE as nice! Black and white floral washi is another fun way to make the other colors pop while adding a bit of interest!

Get yourself in a springy mood by whipping up some fun floral cards like these – it’s definitely a fun way to add to your stash AND brighten your own day while your at it! Happy Spring!

Quick and easy Mini Christmas Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today, sharing a quick tutorial on how to create quick and easy mini cards during this holiday season.

create quick and easy handmade cards during this holiday season with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new Merry Little Christmas line from @pebblesinc

This cards are very easy to create and they are perfect to accompany a gift or to give to your guests during christmas dinner.

To create them, start by layering strips of washi tape on a 2,5 inch square card.

Fill the entire card and trim the excess. You can do this with strips of patterned paper too but washi tape is great if you are making them in bulk!

Next, decorate the front of the card with a die cut. I used 3d foam dots to glue the die cut and I love the look!

The final touch is to add a tag on the side of the card. These stickers are perfect because you only need a package for all your cards. You can glue the sticker on some cardstock or put some baby powder on the back to remove the sticky part.

Using your Crop a Dile, make a small hole on top and tie the tag with some red twine.

Create some envelopes with the Mini Envelope Punch Board and the lovely papers from the Merry Little Christmas line.

Your mini cards are ready! now all you have to do is fill them with a cheerful message and give them to someone you love. I am sure they are going to be grateful and happy to receive a handmade card.

Thanks for joining me today and have a joyful Christmas!
