Thank you Shaker Cards

May

Hello Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro here today bringing you a quick and easy tutorial to create a Thank you card for your child’s teacher. These cards look difficult to make but using a few tools from our friends from We R Memory Keepers you can make them in no time!

To make these cards cut an apple from a piece of cardstock and create your card. I used an electronic cutting machine but you could just draw the silhouette and use your scissors.

For these shaker cards I’m using the new Confetti Punch by WRMK, If you don’t have this little tool yet you have to get it! Anything is cuter with confetti! plus, with this punch you can punch two different circle sizes to create the perfect confetti look.

I also used The Fuse by WRMK, with this tool you can make shaker pockets fast and easily. I used a glass as my guide and simply used my Fuse to create a circle (make sure the circle is slightly larger than the apple!). Right before closing the circle fill the shape with confetti.

Cut your confetti circles and attach them to the back of your card using strong liquid glue

Isn’t it super cute? I LOVE shaker cards!

To complete the look create some leaves using a circle punch, simply punch twine each circle and bend the leaf in half.

Attach the leaves to the card and embellish with these gorgeous sentiments from the Spring Fling’s Ephemera pack and some 3D dots.

To add the final touch use some hemp twine an tie a bow to the side of your card.

Aren’t these cute? I am sure your children’s teacher would love these!

I am fan of confetti, are you? Look at these cute party favors Wendy Sue created for New Year’s Eve! These would be cute for any party!

Have a great week!

Happy Winter Pebbles Inc Fans! Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing a Coffee Cup Card to warm your heart. Since Wintertime makes me want to drink more coffee, I was inspired by my love of the warm drink to create a Coffee Cup Card with a unique Peppermint Candy tag attached.

Coffee Cup Card

Don’t you love it when you envision a craft project and it actually comes to life? Like, my DIY Peppermint Tag I made with the We R Memory Keepers FUSE tool. Looks exactly like what I had envisioned too.

To make this Coffee Cup Card, I used my Silhouette, a Coffee Cup to Go cut file and patterned paper from the DIY Home collection.

Fuse Tool to make a DIY Peppermint Tag

The Peppermint Tag is created with the FUSE tool and page protectors. I cut the shape of the tag out of the page protector, used three sides together, filled up the tag up with crushed peppermints then fused the tag closed. Super easy.

I adhered a Pebbles Inc Gold Dipped Tag on to the Peppermint tag and used a We R Memory Keepers eyelet punch to attach both tags together.

Pool Party Candy Packets

Hi everyone! Amanda here today. I’m not one to make much of a fuss over gifts, but every once in a while I wish I had a little treat on hand to help wish someone a happy birthday or to express my thanks. And nothing says happy birthday or thank you quite like candy.

The fun, summertime pool themes in the Fun In the Sun collection make for a bright and cheery gift. Package up your favorite treat in a photo sleeve with some fun paper and die cuts and you have a sweet treat at the ready. And just like grandma, you can also tuck a few of these in your purse for the little ones.

Pool party candy packets are easy to put together. You’ll need some plastic sleeves, patterned paper, embellishments, candy and a Fuse tool. If you don’t have a Fuse tool, you can easily secure the closure with a piece of transparent tape.

The beach balls on this paper make perfect DIY embellishments and can be punched out perfectly with a 1 1/4″ circle punch.

Start by embellishing your patterned paper inserts. Slide the patterned paper into the plastic sleeves, add candy and, voila! You’re all done! Get the kids involved and they’ll do it for you.

After your sleeve is filled with paper, embellishments, and candy, fold over the top and fuse it to the back of the sleeve with the Fuse tool. TIP: Always use metal ruler to fuse the straightest lines and protect your fingers from the hot, HOT tip!

This is what the back of your candy packet will look like after it is all fused up. Pretty neat, huh?

Easy, fun, and yummy!

Happy Summer!
Amanda

Fun In The Sun Shaker Gift Bags

Hi there! It’s Mendi here with some fun ideas for summer gift bags using Pebbles Fun In the Sun collection along with the new Fuse tool & Gift Bag Punch Board by We R Memory Keepers. I don’t know about you, but I rarely think to prepare a fun gift bag on the actual day of an event so I love having some ready to go when I’m headed out the door to a special occasion.

I thought it would be fun to experiment with different shapes of shaker windows for each of my bags. Up first I have a circle shaped shaker that I created. To achieve this I added all my sequins to the circle shape before closing it up. I then slid the sequins over to create citrus slices by using the little metal ruler that comes with the fuse tool.

My next bag features a star window filled with multi-colored sequins. I cut an extra band of patterned paper to go along the top of my bag which I punched with a scalloped edge using a border punch. Make sure to keep reading because I share step-by-step instructions on how I created this fun window using the fuse tool.

My last gift bag is my favorite. It uses some of the fun watermelon print papers from the collection so I thought it would be really fun to create a heart window and punch out little raindrops to pose as watermelon seeds for my shaker.

I was amazed at how easy it is to create these little windows with the fuse tool and some basic supplies I already had on hand! Using an old page protector I snipped off a small section just a wee bit larger than my die. I then used the die as a template and traced it with the fuse tool, making sure to leave a small section open to slip my sequins and punches into.

After filling up the little pouch, I re-positioned my die and fused the remaining two edges with the tool.

I then trimmed around the star leaving a small border around it and added sticky adhesive tape to the side that I wanted to face out on my bag.

Using the same die I die-cut a window out of my gift bags. This was a bit tricky for my largest gift bag due to the width so I had to fold the bottom flaps under while running it through my diecutting machine.

I then taped the fused star pouch to the inside of my bag. Using the same sized die works well for this technique since most dies have a slight border around them.

Here’s one last look at my three different summer bags. I hope I’ve inspired you to create some shaker gift bags of your own. I am really loving how many different techniques that are possible with the fuse tool! 🙂
