These cards are quick and easy to make. Just pull out the supplies and you can whip up a whole set in no time at all! Here’s what you’ll need for each card (I used supplies from the “Happy Cake Day” collection):

Step 1: Place the patterned paper on the card base (be sure to center it)!

Step 2: Add string to the tags.

Step 3: Add the tags to the card front

Step 4: Add foam dots to the back of the ephemera piece.

And place it on the card.

Step 5: Add confetti stickers!!

Interactive Birthday Cards

Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing two interactive cards made with the lovely Happy Cake Day line.

Create an interactive birthday card that will wow your friends with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the Happy Cake day Line by @pebblesinc

This line is perfect for all your celebrations! The designs are playful and fun and you can use it for an adult birthday party and a child also! it is super versatile!

To create these cards, I started by cutting a card base, a patterned paper, and a 3,5-inch circle.

I also cut a 3,5-inch circle to use as my template. I pierced a hole in the middle and also cut the 1-inch window I was going to use for my card.

I searched my patterned paper for a big birthday cake and found it in this paper. It was the perfect size for my card!

Next, I used my template to pierce the center hole and the window on my patterned paper. This step is very important because you want all your elements to be aligned perfectly.

After that, I used a brad to hold the patterned paper and the circle together and added my cake with 3d dots on top.

Next, cut different animals from the patterned paper and glued them on the window. To allow the wheel to turn easily, I punched the edge of my card with a circle punch.

The puffy dots are super fun and add a festive touch to the card.

And how about this one? I used the hats patterned paper to add different looks to this cute guy!

These interactive cards are very easy to make and I am sure everyone will love them!

Here you can see them in action!

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Card Set

Hi Friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a set of quick and easy birthday cards! I wanted to make a set of cards with the unique peek-a-boo strip on the right side. In other words, the front of the card is just a bit more narrow than the back – and the stripe that appears to be on the right edge of the front is actually the back, so it’s still visible when the card is open.

I used products from a few different collections, but mainly from the Happy Cake Day collection. (You’ll find some Sun & Fun and Hey Hello mixed in as well. Want to see how easy it is to make these cards? First, you’ll need a few supplies:

And in just a few quick steps, you can have a completed card (or set of cards)! Step 1 is adding the strip to the right edge.

Now cover the front of the card with a coordinating patterned paper:

Use a small circle punch to create notches in the fatter paper strip – wrap with string and tie in a bow. Add this piece to the card front.

Now place the 3×4 card on the front. Use foam adhesive square for added dimension if desired!

Next, add a puffy sticker just for a bit of whimsy!

That’s it! The card is complete!

Repeat the same process to create an entire set of fun and unique cards!

Birthday Pinwheels

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a fun new project to share using the Happy Cake Day collection. Both my kids have winter birthdays so I decided to make a cute little centerpiece.

I made 3 simple pinwheels using papers from the 6×8 pad and glued them to paper straws. I added a puffy sticker to each center.

I then added a few tags and pennants to make it a little more fun.

I finished it off by adding it to a small glass bottle with some string and little tags. It turned out so cute!

Thanks for stopping by!

Quick and Easy Party Decorations

Are you ready to party?!? It’s Wendy Sue here today, and I sure am ready for a party – but one thing I love almost as much as the party is the planning and decorating. If that’s not your thing, you don’t need to spend a lot of time putting together fun and festive decorations. Here are a few fun ideas you could use for a birthday party – or really you could use them for any celebration just by changing the words!

Quick and Easy Party Decor by Wendy Sue Anderson for @PebblesInc.

Banners don’t have to be labor-intensive. Use your digital die-cut machine (or use scissors to cut by hand) to cut large block letters. Punch holes in the top and string them all together with crochet thread. Easy peasy and so festive!

If you want to go a step further, die-cut, punch or hand-cut shapes (such as stars) to create a fun garland. Use a sewing machine set on a straight stitch to sew them all together and drape them around.

Use extras as confetti!

And one final idea is to create 3-d decor. I made these star shaped boxes, thinking they could be used as party favors OR just as decorations! So versatile and easy!
