Spring Fling Cards

Hi everyone, Heather Leopard is here with some Spring Fling cards. You know they say April showers bring May flowers and that goes for cards too!
Spring Cards by @HeatherLeopard using @pebblesinc #patioparty collection #madewithpebbles #spring #cards #flowercards

These cards are quick and easy to pull together and can be used for practically any occasion.  I’ll walk you through each of them individually.

Spring Cards by @HeatherLeopard using @pebblesinc #patioparty collection #madewithpebbles #spring #cards #flowercards

This card is inspired by the dimensional sticker die cuts.  I was looking at them in the packaging while I was trying to come up with a design and I put them down for a second. Well I just happened to place them down on the card base and when I came back, I noticed that they fit perfectly on the card.  I simply cut the white and gold paper 3.5″ long x 4″ wide, 1/4″ x 4″ of the gold and then 1 1/4″ x 4″ of the blue to cover the base of the card, leaving a white border at the top and the bottom.

Then I placed the dimensional stickers on top of the white and gold dots just as they were in the package.  Next, I added the gold strip.

To complete the card, I added the blue patterned paper to the bottom and the gold hello puffy sentiment.  So easy and yet so adorable!

My 2nd card has the same background as the first – I just love the gold and white dots. This card features a patterned paper backed die cut (from Paige Evans) and another puffy sticker sentiment.

This card took a little more time and effort to create but it was worth it in my opinion.  I hadn’t planned to create something so detailed but I had an extra die cut leftover from this THIS floral wreath scrapbooking layout and it was sitting next to my desk. I noticed it as I was looking through my supplies and it happened to be a perfect fit for the card.  I used patterned paper scraps leftover from that same floral wreath layout to back my die cut.  I used anything green for the leaves and anything pink and yellow for the flowers.  I simply glued the patterned paper to the die cut in little pieces – one smaller piece for each leaf, for example. Then I just trimmed around the die cut.  You can kind of see it in some of the areas above.  The weird thing is you can see them in the photo but I don’t see it when I look at the card.  So strange.

One I had the die cut complete, I used glue to apply it to the card and used foam dots to make parts of it pop. Then I tucked in a flower under the die and applied a puffy sticker sentiment.

I hope these spring fling cards bring a smile to your face and you are able to get out and enjoy the flowers!

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

xoxo, Heather

Pineapple Anyone?

Hello everyone! It’s Monique here today sharing a layout I created for this week’s “mix and match” feature. I had so much fun creating this page using lots of my favorite Pebbles’ products! Here in The Netherlands we finally had a few sunny days and all of a sudden I longed for Summer! I decided to create a bright and colorful Summer layout using mainly the Sunshiny Days collection and the Fun In The Sun collection and some photos from our vacation in Greece last year. I love the pineapples and flamingos which are so hot right now and I thought I would give those a try. Here’s what I created for today:

A summery mix and match layout by @moniqueliedtke using the "Sunshiny Days" and the "Fun in the Sun" collections by @PebblesInc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #scrapbook_layout

I just love how the pineapple turned out! Here’s a quick step-by-step how I created it: I used the Silhouette to cut out the shape of the pineapple (4.5″ x 9″) and with a pair of fringe scissors I cut seven strips of pink paper and six green strips. The strips measure 2″ x 5″.

I cut through these strips of paper for about three quarters of the width and adhered them on a piece of 10.5″ x 6″ of white cardstock, overlapping each other half.

Next I placed the negative shape of the pineapple over these pink & green “fringed” strips of paper:

I selected matching patterned papers for the background and tried to decide on a design for the rest of my layout.

In the end I chose two 4″ x 4″ photos of my youngest son and matted them on some “neutral” colored paper from the Simple Life collection. I selected die-cuts and stickers from both the Sunshiny Days and the Fun In The Sun collections and started building the rest of my page. I almost never design the layout before I start, but make it up as I go along.

I just adore all the fun papers, die-cuts & stickers in the Pebbles collections! There’s just so much to choose from! Just look at those flamingos! So adorable! And those puffy phrase stickers .. I just had to add those too!

The machine stitching was added last, which is always a bit of a risk but it’s what I do.

And now this layout is finished I long for Summer even more!

Her Bookcase and Mine

Hello Pebbles fans!! For this week’s “Organization” theme I, Monique, created a layout about how my daughter and I organize our bookcases. We are both huge book lovers and it’s not enough to just read them, we want to own the books we love too. There’s just nothing better than collecting the books you love! As I’m older it makes sense that my bookcase is fuller than my daughter’s but she’s getting there! The funny thing is that while I organize my books by author, my daughter organizes her books by color. Although this way of organizing would never suit me, I really love how it looks and decided I just needed a photo and so the idea for this layout was born!

Doesn’t the bookcase on the right look much better than mine (on the left)?!

I used an older Pebbles collection to scrap this layout as I found Jen Hadfield’s Home + Made collection just perfect for these photo. When I started my page I held my photos against the different collections and chose the one that fitted best.

I love large ampersands and decided this 3″x 3″ Minc card with the ampersand needed to be included too.

However I found it needed a little embellishing and used my sewing machine to add a bit of texture:

I really like the result!

The flower stickers from the Everyday collection and the gold Thickers from American Crafts were a perfect match for both my photos and the papers. How I love all the gold details in the various Pebbles products!

I added a bit of hand written journaling and lots of machine stitiching. With a few black paint drops my layout was done!

Favorite Cards With Favorite Phrases

Hi everyone, it’s Monique here and I’m so happy to be sharing my cards for this week’s “favorite phrases” feature! I’ve got to admit, I don’t have one favorite phrase I go by, but I love many sayings & expressions and lots of them are perfect to use on cards to send to family and friends! So I just got started and created this set of 4″ x 6″ cards using Jen Hadfield’s beautiful “Everyday” collection.

Favorite Cards with Favorite Phrases made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #Everyday collection from @PebblesInc.

When I got started on my project I decided to look up some phrases on Pinterest and this was the first one that appealed to me, it was also the one that determined the collection I was going to use: “Be a Pineapple: Stand Tall, Wear a Crown and Be Sweet on the Inside”. I love pineapples and this saying jumped out at me straight away! I knew at once which collection I was going to use, the “Everyday” collection, as it contains lots of pineapples! Here’s the card I made:

I used my typewriter to type the text along all four sides of my card. I really love the effect this gives! I also adore that gold pineapple die-cut!

Once I decided on the collection I was going to use, I found it was easy to find many favorite phrases as the Everyday collection holds lots of fun phrases that I really like! Here’s one: “When Life Gives You Lemons Make Lemonade!”

Favorite Cards with Favorite Phrases made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #Everyday collection from @PebblesInc.

And here’s another phrase from the Everyday collection I really really like: Make Everday Count.

For this last card I took a few step-by-step photos which I want to share with you. I started by assembling all the things I thought I would need:

Favorite Cards with Favorite Phrases made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #Everyday collection from @PebblesInc.

The base of my card is a piece of 4″ x 12″ white cardstock, which I folded in half to create a 4″ x 6″ card. Using my Coluzzle circle cutter I cut a circle in the front of my card (1) behind which I adhered a pink die-cut with “Make Everyday Count”. I chose a piece of matching pink patterned paper for the front of my card and also cut a circle in this (2). Before adhering the paper to the front of my card I machine stitched the edges (3). Next I chose this beautiful gold wreath die-cut and glued it around the circle, I added a flower sticker and placed two hand cut pennants partly under it (4). With just a few white paint splatters I was done!

The Everyday collection is so perfect to create cards with fun phrases, I could easily have created many more! I hope you like them too and give them a try!
