Hot Chocolate Gift Boxes

Hi everyone, this is Eva Pizarro and today I want to show you how to make a perfect small gift or favor for this winter. I started by cutting my paper to 6×6 inches, and I used my Pillow Box Punch Board to make the gift boxes.

Cut a piece of vellum and score it with the board.

Gather some tags, twine and cut some shapes from the Christmas paper to embellish your gift.

Fill the boxes with whatever you want! I included some hot chocolate mix, mini marshmallows and some spices like cinnamon and cloves.

These are very easy and with the punch board you can make them super quickly. Have a great week!

Mailable Handmade Cards

Have you ever made a beautiful homemade card for a friend living states away only to discover that when you went to mail it, it was a little too bulky for the envelope and the postage would cost an arm and a leg? Well, Laurel Seabrook understands that all too well and has found the perfect solution.

Hi everyone, Laurel here with you today. I don’t know about you but the cost of mailing a handmade card almost (well not really, hehehe) has me not wanting to send any. So today I decided to create a simple, less bulky ‘mailable’ card. I send out a lot of thank you cards so I need to build up my stash of simple ones.

Simple handmade cards by @laurel_seabrook that aren't bulky and will mail without costing an arm and a leg! #pebblesinc #FrontPorchFor this card I used the Front Porch collection. Super simple paper layering and adding one of the library cards made this a very quick and easy card that is still quite pretty.

Handmade Graduation Cards

It’s that time of year…Students all over the country are looking to don a cap and gown and walking down the isle to grab their diploma. Designer Renee Zwirek is here to share a fun set of handmade graduation cards!

Graduation time is coming up soon for many people!  I have a nephew graduating high school.  So proud of him and very excited to celebrate!  So, I made a trio of 5 x 7 cards using the Americana collection.

There is nothing like using a Fourth of July collection for those kids either gaining their independence for summer break or for those who will be entering a new chapter of their lives after high school or college.  No matter what the situation is, it’s such a joyful time to celebrate your Graduate!

For this first card, I kept it quick and easy.  I used a beautiful background with scallops along a center strip of pattern paper.  And, I made the focal point a Dimensional Glitter Star to congratulate the shining graduate.  I love that “congrats” rub on underneath the star!

For this next card, I layered a couple of pattern papers.  I added some machine-stitched stars, a “Class of 2014” tag, and a fun Cardstock Shape.  I especially love that tag I made using the awesome Date Stamp to say “Class of” and combining that with the sparkly “2014” Cherish Thickers!

For this last card, I made a pocket on an angle using different strips of pattern papers.  A perfect thing for you to add a gift card or (even better) a Ben Franklin to say Congrats and Best Wishes to the special graduate!
