Quick and Easy Cards Featuring Girl Squad

Good morning, Pebbles friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a few quick and easy cards I whipped up with the brand new “Girl Squad” collection.  Before I share my cards, I have to say that this is one of my favorite Pebbles collections yet; the colors and patterns are so modern and happy!!  I had so many fun ideas swirling around in my head when I opened the package with these adorable products, but I settled on making something I’m always (always, always, always) needing – birthday cards!  These patterns and colors are perfect for any girl – young or old(er)! 😉  The mix of bold patterns really makes for a unique card – nothing like you can buy in the store – which is what handmade cards are all about, right?  Here’s a look at the cards I whipped up.  OH, and I decorated the white envelopes to coordinate as well!  Check them out:Create these quick and easy cards and coordinating envelopes by @WendySue (@WendySueA) with the "Girl Squad" collection from @PebblesInc.

And they truly live up to the blog title – quick and easy!  Here’s how to make it yourself:

First, start by cutting various patterned pieces (these are from the 6×6 paper pad).  The base should be 4″ x 5 1/4.”  The pink dotted paper is 4″ x 3″ and the black gingham is actually from one of the tear strips, trimmed down to 4″ wide.  The striped paper is was cut into a half-circle shape and is 4″ wide along the flat edge.

After these pieces have been cut, assemble them like this:

Next, tie white twine around the card:

Now you’ll want to gather stickers, puffy stickers, ephemera, etc.

Use them to embellish the circle. I used foam adhesive behind the die-cut pieces for a little bit of dimension.

Adding a sentiment is the next step.  You can use digital die-cut shapes, metal dies, stickers, etc. to add a sentiment.

That completes the card front!  Finally, place this entire piece on a white card base (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″)

If you want to create a fun coordinating envelope, pull out some washi tape (this is from the Sunshiny Days collection) and stickers or die-cuts.

Just add a strip of tape and a few embellishments!  Super cute and easy, right?

Best Friends Layout featuring Girl Squad

Hi there Pebbles Fans!  Renee here to share a Best Friends layout using the Girl Squad collection.  My daughter, Payton, has a best friend!  They met in first grade and have now known each other for four years.  Their friendship has grown over the years and I wanted to document all the great things they have done together so far.  I’m sure there will be many more adventures ahead for these two besties to share.  I really enjoyed using the new Girl Squad collection to create this layout with its fun patterns, bright colors, and cute embellishments!

I started with a 7″ x 10 7/8″ piece of the You Got This pattern paper.  I added journaling on the bottom portion of it.  I used this font for the first part of it and this font for the words of the journaling.

My photo measures 6 ¼” x 6 ¼” with a border.  I used the Cool Treat pattern paper for the background of my page.  I love the light pink to dark pink ombre effect with polka dots!  The pattern paper layers under the photo include Good Vibes trimmed to 6 5/8″ x 6 5/8″, the You Got This pattern paper used as the journaling, Hello Friends trimmed to 6 7/8″ x 7 3/8″, and Darling trimmed to 7″ x 7 6/8″.

I added a flower Die-Cut to the bottom left corner of my photo.  I added the pretty Skyler Phrases Thickers for the title of my Best Friends layout.

I love everything about these foam phrases Thickers!

I added some fussy cut flowers from the Go Girl pattern paper.  The addition of the “We Grow Together” flower sticker is just a perfect saying.

I added more fussy cut flowers here.

I added lots of fun embellishments!  An adorable dog Die-Cut, taco and leaf Stickers, phone, heart, and headpone Puffy Stickers, and more fussy cut flowers.  The hashtags were fussy cut from the bottom strip of the Cool Treat pattern paper.  The two girls below my journaling were fussy cut from the Girl Squad pattern paper.  I stamped the year of the photo for a final touch.
