Christmas Canvas

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using the Merry Little Christmas collection. As I was walking through my local dollar store the other day, I came across these 12×12 canvases and thought how perfect for a paper project!

This was such a fun and simple project to make. I used beautiful papers from this collection with a cut file from Lori Whitlock. Look how cute that truck is with the hearts paper!

I used some 3D squares to pop up a few of the embellishments to add some more dimension.

This was really a quick project but I love how it turned out. I can’t wait to display it in my house!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Glamper

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. The warmer weather has my family thinking about future camping trips. We love to pack up the car and drive to one of our favorite camping spots … or even explore a new place. With the glamping craze, I thought maybe I should be decorating our camper … so I decided I needed to make a wreath for the camper door. Here is what I came up with.

This wreath was super easy to make. It took 2.5 rolls of burlap and maybe 15 minutes! Here is a tutorial I found on YouTube to explain how to create this beautiful ruffle wreath. Well then I had to think about how to decorate my wreath. I found a svg design for the camper from SVGcuts. It’s a 3 dimensional camper complete with a lawn flamingo in the front! I made my camper using pattern papers from Jen Hadfield’s Chasing Adventures collection. The hiking girl standing in front is an extra nice touch…don’t you think?

Next I had to figure out how to attach the camper to the wreath. Since the camper is make out of paper I didn’t want to use wire and chance ripping the camper. I finally opted to glue the camper to a blackboard sign. Of course this left me space on the sign I had to decorate with vinyl. I found the cutest Happy Camper cut file in the Silhouette store. I love the trees and mountain scenery behind the camper.

The blackboard sign hangs from a wire at the top of my wreath. I also added a pretty pink bow too.

I love how this turned out. It will be so fun to see people’s reactions when they see this beauty on our camper door!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Where is your favorite place to go camping? I am always looking for a new adventure and would love to hear!

A Boo-tiful Gift Idea for Halloween!

Hi Pebbles Friends!

It’s Amanda, & today I am sharing a super sweet Halloween decor item that makes for a spook-tacular gift!

I LOVE Halloween, and the new Spooky Boo collection is just perfect for Halloween cards, decor & memory keeping!

Here’s the gift I’m sharing today…..

Trick or Treat!!!

 How fun is this?!!

Not everyone in my neighborhood celebrates this holiday, so to let Trick Or Treaters know if it’s ok to visit, we all hang a wreath, banner or decorative item on our front doors. I thought this cute door hanger would be a perfect gift for our new neighbors across the street. I hope they like it!

Here’s how to make one of your own….

 

Start by trimming a sheet of chipboard into a 5″ wide triangle with an 8″ point. Cover both sides with your fave papers from the Spooky Boo collection. I chose the reverse side of HOCUS POCUS for the front side, and SWEET TOOTH for the back. Use your We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile, or similar tool, to punch holes in the top corners of the triangle.

To add that ‘Halloween’ feel, (& hide those ugly chipboard edges) apply METALLIC CREAM CHALK in black to the edges of the triangle.

Insert burlap ribbon into the holes, tying it off with knots to create the ‘handle’. I use burlap as it’s quite sturdy and won’t perish easily! Use 1″wide black ribbon to create the fancy concertina trim at the top of the triangle.

Kinda looks like a carrot as this stage, but once we start embellishing the triangle you’ll barely see that orange base!

Embellish with faux spiders web (stretched cotton wool), and one of the smaller WALL BATS in the center of the triangle.

Next, foam mount PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES on top of one another to create a focal point. I love the framed witch silhouette supported by the little bat ephemera, but there are tons of options in the PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES pack to choose from!

Here’s a closer look for you…..

 

Lookin’ boo-tiful already! But it really needs more…….

For my gift, the ‘Trick Or Treat’ sentiment is a perfect adornment to the top of my decorative door hanger, but again many of the PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES or 6″ x 12″ ACCENT STICKERS would work for personalizing your decor!

I also tuck a few PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPES into the top of the focal point. Now it’s starting to look super spooky!!!

Add more ribbon & trim to the ‘handle’, as well as a length of ribbon at the triangle point. Adorn the ribbon with more cobwebs, and for finishing touches attach those fabulously freaky WALL SPIDERS.

Witches, spiders, bats, & pumpkins – totally CREEPIN IT REAL!!!

Here’s how it looks hanging on the door…..

Say Boo!

A spook-tacular Halloween gift that really does say Boo!

I hope I have inspired you to get started on your Halloween crafts with the new Spooky Boo collection today!

Thanks so much for visiting,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

Summer is just beginning, but the 4th of July is just around the corner.  Are your ready to start some fun holiday prep?  These cute patriotic gift bags could be used for gifts OR just super fun decorations!

Quick and Easy Patriotic Gift Bags by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Land that I Love" collection by @PebblesInc.

They are quick and easy to whip up, and only require a few supplies – including the fabulous “Land that I Love” collection and the “Gift Bag Punch Board” from We R Memory Keepers.

Follow the directions printed right on the punch board for the size of bag you want to make.  As you can see, I made a bunch of bags, all different sizes! Cut the paper to the correct size, then follow the directions to punch and score everything correctly.

I like to score the lines again, and make nice, crisp folds:

This red tape is the BEST for assembling bags and boxes – I buy it in bulk because I use it all the time, and I LOVE it!!

After adding the adhesive, the little bag is all done!
