Spring DIY

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today, I find you for a new DIY. In my scraproom, I use a lot of wooden boxes to store the material of my current projects. I love decorating them because they stay on my desk. These are very practical decorative objects. You can use them for many uses or even for decoration. For this DIY, I uses the “Hey, Hello” collection by Pebbles.

The first step is to glue a paper that covers the bottom of the box. It allows you not to lose what you put in it and it will be our basis for decorating the box. To decorate my first box, I started by cutting card in a paper from the collection. Then I added stickers from the collection.

To add a dimension to my decoration, I used 3D foam squares to put elements in volume.

For my second box, I reproduced the same process. I only changed the colors. I really like to use the same processes when I make several DIY so that they are harmonious.

I hope you enjoyed this easy DIY for spring and gave you ideas for decorating your boxes with the “Hey, Hello” collection by Pebbles. See you soon!

This is Family Notebooks with Terhi

Hey, who loves notebooks? I do!
It’s Terhi here today, and I want to share you how easy it is to turn patterned papers to your favourite notebooks. All the papers and embellishments I used to create these notebooks are from This is Family line.

I’m the kind of person who love lists and notes. My purse is always filled with notes, notebooks etc. It doesn’t matter if I ever read them or not, I just love writing things down and seeing pretty things while I’m on the go. That’s why I wanted to learn how to use patterned papers for this habit of mine. I found lots of ideas and after trying couple different techniques myself, I decided that the easier the process is the better the notebooks are.

The process for these notebooks couldn’t be easier! Just take couple sheets of “office paper” or any other paper you want to have inside as pages. Cut them to the size you wish to have each spread, then fold them half.
Choose a patterned paper for the cover, cut it slightly bigger or same size as the pages inside and fold it half, too.
My notebooks are sized about 3,5″ x 6,5″.

Then, choose a sewing machine or hand stitching.
With a sewing machine, go ahead and sew the notebook tightly together using the folding as your guide. Sew the line couple of times to make a firm notebook and pretty details!
If you choose hand stitching as I did, pierce small holes (for example with Pink Paislee Book Binding tool) to the pages and to the cover, then simply stitch the book together tightly.

Decorate the cover as you want or leave it as it is.
When you feel ready, add the notebook to your purse with a pencil and you’re ready to rock!

Have a crafty day!
Terhi xx

DIY memory game

Hello everyone, Eva on the blog today sharing a quick tutorial on how to make a DIY memory game using the lovely “Oh, Summertime” papers.

Create a quick and fun memory game using your kid's favorite characters and lovely papers from the Oh, Summertime line from @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc

My son is 4 and he is a Pokemon fan! He loves the characters so I thought it would be fun to create a memory game for him. We created this game together, he chose the characters and helped me assemble all the pieces. We spent a fun afternoon together and now all he wants to do is play his memory game!

To create the game we printed the characters, two of each. I did it with an electronic cutting machine and it was very fast! Next, we cut some 2-inch squares from the lovely patterned papers of the Oh, Summertime line.

We chose another patterned paper and cut lots of 2-inch squares to create the top of the memory pieces.

We glued the two papers together and then used the Corner Chomper to round all the angles.

Finally, we used my Minc to laminate all the pieces and we cut them out.

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!

Mail box with Loves Me collection

Hello everyone, it’s Lucile ! Today, I find you for my first article on the blog!

Today I would like to help you make a box to store all your cards. I wanted to make it in the form of a mailbox.

To make my box, I used cardboard (but you can use a box that you already have and cover it). I chose papers from the collection “Loves me” to cover my box. For the roof, I cut two half circles that I stuck to my box. I added an additional paper to form a round side. I also cut a slot on the front to make it look like a true mailbox. After this was complete, I decorated it with stickers and die cuts from the collection.

I wanted to reproduce the mechanism that mailboxes have on the side. So I cut a strip of cardboard that I stuck to my box and I decorated it by writing “hapy mail”

Inside my box, I created different dividers to sort my cards. I used the tab punch board to create my tabs.

Finally, I decorated tabs and I added the titles of my categories. I hope you have enjoyed this creation, I’ll see you soon for new adventures!
