Shadow Box Card

Feb

Hello, Pebbles’ fans! It’s Eva on the blog today sharing a quick tutorial on how to create a cute shadow box card with Pebbles’ new line Lovely Moments.

Shadow box cards are super cute and easy to make! @evapizarrov crate this one with the Lovely Moments line from @pebblesinc

Shadow box cards are very easy to make and I am sure everyone will love them! You can make them bigger but I love this small scale card!

To create the card start by cutting the pieces for the base. You will need to cut 2 pieces 3-inch x 3,5 inch and 1 piece 8,25-inch x 3.

Score the two small pieces at 0,25 inch and 3,25 inch and score the bigger piece at the 3, 4, 7 and 8-inch marks.

Use your Revolution Advanced (or a punch) to create the windows on each panel. You can use any shape you want: square, circle or even a heart!

Next, attach the panels to the side of the card using double-sided tape. Don’t glue the entire card or it would be hard to place the embellishments!

This is the fun part! Use die cuts and stickers to embellish each panel od the card. Work one at a time making sure only you don’t cover the entire image on the back.

Once you are done, glue the panels to the other side of the card. The easiest way to do this is to remove the plastic of the tape and flatten the card.

The card wouldn’t be completed without a cute envelope!

Look at all the layers of the card! You can add as many as you want! Easy right? I hope you give shadow box cards a try!

Thanks for joining me and have a great week!

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project using the beautiful new Lovely Moments collection. If you’re a cardmaker, almost all of Pebble’s collection come with boxed cards sets. These are perfect for creating quick and easy card. You just need to embellish!

My favorite thing about this collection is the kraft paper. I added some to all 3 cards so they would look like a matching set!

This is a really great collection for cardmaking. There are a lot of different greetings included in the ephemera packs.

I also added a bit of stitching to each card. It was the perfect finishing touch!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Little Christmas Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Christmas cards may seem a little old fashion, but receiving one in the mail delights me so much. There is just something more tangible to a real card versus receiving an electronic greeting. There is still time to create some Christmas cards to send out to your favorite people too. I have a few ideas to share with you today using the festive Merry Little Christmas collection.

To aid in the creative process, I like to sort my die cut ephemera pieces into categories. For these cards, I had Winter scene and Santa Claus piles. Then I start looking for coordinating pattern paper. For this card I cut the 3×4 journal card with the card sentiment from a sheet of pattern paper, adhered it to some white cardstock and added a border.

Sometimes the pattern paper reminds me of a digital cut file that I have. This cut file is from JustNick Studios.

This card too was created with one of the 3×4 journal cards cut from a sheet of pattern paper. This time I adhered it to some fun banners I cut out with my Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board.

I couldn’t resist making a little winter scene on this card using the tiny stickers. They are so fun to add a little dimension. I almost made this a shaker card. Wouldn’t that have been fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Christmas is 2 weeks away so go make some cards to mail!!

Countdown to Christmas: Easy Holiday Cards

Dec

Leave a Comment

Hello friends! It’s the first week of December already – do you have your Christmas cards done? I usually purchase photo cards to send out to the masses, but I like making handmade cards for a few special people in our lives. That being said, I always seem to run short on time, so it’s a good idea to create a simple card and duplicate it using different papers and elements.

Easy Holiday Cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Merry Little Christmas" Collection by @PebblesInc.

The “Merry Little Christmas” collection is so fun and cheery, it was an obvious choice for this year’s cards! I started by trimming a patterned paper to 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ – then I cut 1″ from the bottom to create a coordinating paper strip to add to the card front.

Next, I cut white cardstock to 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and stitched around the edges with green thread. (I love using my sewing machine on my projects!) I placed the white stitched piece in the center of the pattered background paper, then placed the 1″ coordinating paper strip on top – I varied where I placed the coordinating strip.

Next, I added a tag from the coordinating tag set. I used foam adhesive behind some of them for a touch of added dimension. I also scrounged around in my ribbon scraps to find fun ribbons to tie through the holes of each one. As you can see, I tilted the tags slightly when I attached them over the white stitched piece.

Next, I added coordinating printed die-cut pieces to each card. Some are tucked slightly under the tag, some are overlapping on top. And finally, I added some gold puffy sticker thickers to some of the cards (the holly leaves and berries).

After they were complete, I attached all of the card fronts to white cardstock bases and now I have a start to my handmade cards for this year!

Thanks for stopping by – I hope you feel inspired to whip up a few festive cards yourself now!

Birthday Cards With Fall Flair

Oct

Leave a Comment

I love adding a bit of seasonal influence to my birthday cards sometimes, especially if it’s not over-the-top obvious – which is why I created this set of birthday cards with a bit of fall flair!

Birthday Cards with a Fall Flair by Wendy Sue Anderson for @PebblesInc. featuring the "This is Family" collection

It’s easy to bring in a bit of autumn for birthdays falling during fall months. Simply add a few pretty fall leaves! You can choose to cut them by hand, use metal dies, or even an electronic die-cutting machine. Just cut a bunch of leaves from some pretty colored papers (like these from the “This is Family” collection) and you’re set!

Here’s a closer look at each cards – they are basically the same, with a few minor changes.

With a few leaves, some paper strips, a button, and twine, these birthday cards have a subtle touch of autumn without screaming it so loudly that it overpowers the sentiment.

Happy Fall AND Happy Birthday!!
