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!”

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:

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!

Simple Hello Banner

Hey there, Amy from The Happy Scraps here today. I’m excited to share this Simple Hello Banner with you today. I really love all the fun papers in the Jen Hadfield Everyday Collection. The bright colors and patterns are so fun! I picked out a few of my favorites to make this banner with. Banners are one of my favorite things to make. They are great for making a statement piece, and they are so customizable.

Create this Simple Hello Banner with a few supplies from the Jen Hadfield Everyday Collection and the tutorial from @thehappyscraps on the @pebblesinc blog.

For this banner I grabbed five of the papers I really like in the Everyday Collection, the gold glittered thickers, and the wood banner pieces.

I started by tracing my banner pieces onto the back of the paper I wanted to use.

Then I cut it out.

Using some wood glue, I put some on, then spread it out over the entire wood banner piece.

I placed my paper over the glue and smooth it out good to make sure it was on there well.

Once I had all the banner pieces put together, I punched out some circles. I inked the edges of all the banner pieces and the circles with brown ink.

Next I placed the letters on the center of the circles.

I placed a foam 3-dimensional tab on the back of the circles.

Then I mounted them on the banner pieces.

I punch out the holes and used some baker’s twine to string them together, creating the simple hello banner.

I put it up with my other summer decor, and I think it’s a perfect addition!

Quick “Beach Days” Gift

I don’t live near an ocean, but I am lucky enough to live within 10 minutes of two reservoirs where we love to ski and fish and boat and swim!  Unfortunately, these reservoirs don’t have dreamy beaches filled with white sand – they are mostly rocks and gravel and mud – but they are definitely lots of fun and I’m grateful for the cold water we can find there in the heat of the summer! Speaking of summer and beaches, I wanted to put together some quick little gifts for some friends – and this is where I landed: cute pail and shovel gift boxes!

Would you like to make one (or several) too?  They are so easy – here’s how!

First, using a digital cut file, cut a pail from some summery, happy paper:

Assemble the box.

Cut a coordinating handle.

Add it to the paper pail with coordinating brads.

Now cut a shovel from paper and embellish the shovel with a nice phrase (cut from one of the 2×2 “happy thoughts” squares), and add an anchor from the die-cut ephemera pack with colored jute:

For the finishing touch, add some fringe tape to the inside of the top of the paper pail:

That’s it!  Now the paper pail is ready to be filled.  Add some sunscreen, sunglasses, goggles, OR some delicious treats – salt water taffy seems appropriate!

These little pails are quick and easy to whip up – so if you’re making one, you might as well make a bunch!

Happy Summer!
