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!

Favorite Phrases: 3 Quick Gifts

Hi Pebbles friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, and I’m excited to share three projects I created recently.  You see, I believe words are pretty powerful…I believe they can change an attitude, a day, even a life.  If we have an open mind and heart, the right words can make all the difference.  If you visited my home, you’d know this to be true.  I have words everywhere.  Single words, quotes, song lyrics, lots and lots of words.  And if I can make the words pretty…well, that’s a win all-around! So when I saw this assignment, it’s no wonder I couldn’t decide on one project to create and share with you.  So, in the end, I didn’t.  Instead, I came up with three very quick and very easy {and potentially very powerful} gifts – gifts of words.  Here’s the entire set, featuring the beauty and wisdom from Jen Hadfield’s “Everyday” collection:

And here’s a little bit about each one. 🙂

This frame took all of 5 minutes to create – and that included the time I took to scrounge up the frame!

Simply cut a piece of patterned paper – I chose this beautiful foiled polkadot paper – to fill the frame opening.

Then I added some foam adhesive to the back of a pre-printed diecut.

Voila – that’s it!  I am excited to share this with someone – wouldn’t it look sweet sitting on a nightstand or a shelf in a little girl’s room?

This frame took a little bit longer – but not much!  I found this collage frame in my stash and thought it would be perfect to fill with inspiring words!

The two little quotes were cut from the “Happy Thoughts” paper.

The middle square is a small piece of patterned paper with a foiled heart die-cut added with foam adhesive.

Next I cut a few miscellaneous patterned papers, a quote block, and some foiled diecuts for the main opening.

Don’t be afraid to stack up foam adhesive for extra dimension.

And the final product is so cute and ready to be shared with someone special.

And the final project isn’t an actual gift, but a quick and pretty gift bag.  I used the Gift Bag Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers to make the bag from pretty patterned paper.

Next, I added some leftover fringe tape from a pinata I made earlier – isn’t it pretty?!? It already has adhesive on the back, so I just had to fold over the bag top and add two layers of fringe.

After cutting the cute quote block from the foiled quotes page, I added a gold leaf diecut to the corner.

Then I tucked it under the flap.

I added the gold clip, embellished with a pink jewel, to the top of the bag to hold it closed.

And a quick little jute bow completes the gift bag – ready to fill with chocolate (another powerful healer, in addition to words) or a small token of some sort.

I hope you like my little gifts, inspired by the beautiful words in this gorgeous collection!
