DIY Back To School Banner

Aug

1 Comment

Hello, hello, hello! It’s back-to-school time, which means it’s the perfect time to switch up my little revolving frame! I know it’s a little “old school,” but I love paper piecing and try to incorporate it in my projects whenever I can. This little pencil banner was so easy to whip up with only a few supplies – and I love the excitement it generates about school starting (even if I am the only one feeling the giddiness of buying school supplies and new clothes)!

You can make a banner just like this one in only a few simple steps. Let me show you!

First, cut the following pieces – adjusting the scale as needed for your project:

pink patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 2″
woodgrain patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 1/2″
yellow patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 4″
kraft dot patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 1/2″
black patterned paper: 2 1/2″ x 1″

Create the eraser by layering the pink and woodgrain patterned papers, then round the top corners:

Place the eraser on the pencil:

Now layer the kraft and black papers to create the wood/lead:

Sharpen your pencil by clipping the corners of the black paper:

And add the lead to the pencil:

Finally, add the letter stickers (I used foam adhesive behind the letter stickers for a bit of dimension):

Next, punch holes in the corners of each eraser and string them together with baker’s twine. Add thickers to complete the title and hang!

These pencils would also be cute as bag decorations, tags, or even cards! Be creative and put your paper-piecing skills to work!

This frame hangs in my entry way, and I switch it up according to the season or holiday.

Here are a few of my older frame projects featuring Pebbles Inc. products!

Hi, Renee here to share a couple of lovely Anniversary cards I made using the Spring Fling collection. I love the way these geometric shaped cards turned out. I can’t wait to give them to some of my family members who are celebrating their wedding anniversaries this summer.

Here’s my first card…creating with a hexagon shape.

I started with a hexagon template (each side of my hexagon measures about 3 ½” – I increased the image size 150% before printing) and a piece of blue cardstock (folded measures 6″ x 6 7/8″)
I placed the template on top of my card base making sure that the card will flip up to open before I cut.
I trimmed off the corners of the card.

I trimmed the Spring Fling pattern paper to 5 ¾” x 6 5/8″, trimmed the Happy Thoughts pattern paper to make a tree branch, and adhered them onto my card base. I added machine stitching around my hexagon shaped card.

I used my Flower Punch Board to add leaves to the tree branch. I added a flower and two owl stickers to my card. I added a gold heart sticker and a gold “love” sentiment sticker to finish off the card.

Here’s my second card…creating with square shapes.

I started by trimming the yellow cardstock to 6″ x 12″. I folded it in half so my card can be 6″ x 6″ square shaped. I layered the Spring Fling pattern paper (trimmed to 5 ¾” x 5 ¾”) and the Strawberry Fields pattern paper (trimmed to 5 ¼” x 5 ¼”) and added machine stitching all around my card.

I used my Minc Machine to add Gold Foil to some flowers and added them to the bottom of the card along with some fussy cut leaves. I added two sweet giraffe die-cuts, another gold heart sticker, and a gold “Celebrate” sentiment sticker to finish off the card.

Fruit Treat Bags

Hello Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro here today showing you the perfect summer treat bags!

The fruit trend is all over the internet and today I want to show you how to make these easy treat bags that I am sure everyone will love!

Start with a 4 by 6 inch paper. I am using a red one for my strawberry, a yellow with a geometric pattern for my pineapple and a lovely pink ombre for my watermelon.

You are also going to need some leaves for your strawberry and strips of white and green cardstock for the watermelon. Both decorations are 6 inch wide and for the strawberry leaves simply bent the paper in half and then hand cut the shape.

Roll your paper and seal the bag with your Sticky Thumb Cordless Hot Glue Gun. For my watermelon I draw some seeds on my paper and attached my white and green cardstock strips to the bottom.

Close the bottom of your treat bag and fill it, put some hot glue on the other edge and seal it in the opposite direction.

Here you can see my 3 treat bags in progress.

Glue the strawberry leaves and hand cut some leaves for your pineapple, bend them a little and glue them with your Hot Glue Cordless Glue.

Use a circle punch to cut some sentiments from this paper and attach them to your treat bags with some foam dots.

And here you can see the final result! I think these turned out super cute! and they are perfect for a picnic or a summer party theme.

You probably already saw some cute posts here on the blog with the fruit theme, but just in case you missed them here is a quick recap.

Have a great week!

Summer Layout

Hello Pebbles friends, I’m Becki. I’m SO exciting to be joining the Pebbles family for another year. As you know I love Pebbles and all of their products. Today I have a Summer layout to share with you featuring lots of patterned paper (my favorite) and triangles. Triangles are a hot trend in scrapbooking right now. I’ve been waiting to try a technique with layered triangles as an embellishment.

I chose several bright bold patterned papers from the Everyday collection to create this layout. I started by cutting several triangles out of patterned paper.

The orange triangles are 2″ squares cut in half. The smaller triangles are fussy cut from patterned papers. I layered all these triangles together to create embellishments that draw attention to the title and photos on the layout.

Not only did I use triangles as an embellishment. I added triangle photo corners. Photo corners are so easy to make with just a small scrap of patterned paper. Any size will work but I used a 2″x 1/2″ strip.

All you have to do is fold the strip into a point and put the triangle portion over the corner of the photo and adhere the patterned paper to the back of the photo.

I love the bold impact that the triangles make on this layout. Triangles are SO easy to work with and so versatile. I can’t wait to use them on many projects to come.

I’d love to see what Summer layouts you’re creating. Do any of them have triangles on them? I’ll see you again very soon! Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles blog today.

Fourth of July Layout

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends, Becki here. I’m excited to share a Fourth of July layout with you. The fourth of July isn’t a holiday that I typically scrapbook. The new America the Beautiful collection changed that. I couldn’t resist playing with this collection and pairing it with the adorable glittery “sparkle” title from the Jen Hadfield DIY Home collection. I’ve been ~~hoarding~~ saving these words for the perfect project. Isn’t the word “sparkle” perfect for a Fourth of July layout?

I started by gathering a few supplies to accompany my “sparkle” title. I wanted the traditional red, white, and blue color scheme with a big pop of gold and a little bit of woodgrain to make a border.

I have to say, I love how this layout turned out. I’m so glad I took the time to take photos and create a Fourth of July layout.

Below the “sparkle” titled I added “July 4th” in Thickers. Although the layout is titled “sparkle” I wanted the Fourth of July to be on the layout as well. I stitched the “July 4th” Thickers with my sewing machine. Stitching over Thickers not only keeps them in place but it adds a little bit of texture as well.

I adhered the “sparkle” die cut with adhesive foam squares. I wanted it to pop off the layout. It also made it easier to tuck my photo and a few other die cuts under it.

I finished the layout by adding some red glitter star stickers. They add some more sparkle to the layout (you can never have too much glittery sparkle, right?). My handwritten journaling was the finishing touch to this layout. I love the personal touch that handwriting gives to my layouts.

Do you have the America the Beautiful collection on your desk? If not, you need to get it. It’s perfect for creating Fourth of July layouts. Thanks for stopping by the Pebbles blog today. I’ll see you again soon!
