Hello Everyone! It’s Leanne here today to share with you this simple but elegant project, perfect for a housewarming or neighbour gift. Using the idea of geometric shapes, a white photo frame and your favourite Pebbles Inc paper collection, this gift can be created in little time at all. All you need to do is play with 1” paper strips!

Create a quick and easy house warming gift using geometric shapes as your inspiration and the #warm&cozycollection from @PebblesInc & @leanne_allinson.

Start by gathering your supplies. I’ve used the gorgeous Warm & Cozy Collection by Jen Hadfield.

I have chosen to recreate a geometric heart shape to fit within the borders of a matt mounted photo frame. The width of my triangles is equivalent to 1”.

Start by trimming 1” paper strips from the selected patterned papers. I have used four different patterns to create interest, including the reverse side of some of the patterned paper pieces. Using the 1” paper strip as a guide, trim at 1” intervals to create miniature squares. Finally trim these squares on the diagonal to provide the triangles for your geometric shape.

Arrange paper triangles so that no two create a colour block within your shape. Fussy cut small bunches of flowers from a coordinating patterned paper.

Adhere all of the triangles onto a light based patterned paper. Trim this patterned paper to fit your selected frame. Next, layer the geometric shape with the fussy cut flowers, mounting some of them with foam tape for dimension. Add some enamel dots plus a Gold Foil Foam Thicker to represent your family name, just above the flower cluster.

The “Home Sweet Home” banner was created using the border strip from the Warm & Cozy Sprigs paper. It was trimmed and bordered with cardstock.  Leave the cardstock length to extend past the sentiment and fold the ends to form the banner. Place a notch in the each end of the banner and mount on foam tape at the bottom of the framed heart.

Hello everyone! I’m Eva Pizarro and today I want to show you how to do this fun layout using a lot of enamel dots from different Pebbles Inc. collections.

Enamel dots are super fun and Pebbles has them in many beautiful colors. I love how they add dimension and texture to your projects.

Start by dividing your shape, in my case a heart, in many different sections.

Cut those shapes and use them as guides to cut your patterned paper. Use paper with tone on tone designs – the B sides of the papers are perfect for this. Adhere the paper to your background leaving a small space between them.

Adhere the enamel dots trying to match the color of your paper. Combine different sizes.

Now embellish your layout with title and some stickers.

I cut an overlay from the Home Grown collection to embellish the corner.

Since the dots are flat you can layer other things on top easily, like I did with my title.

I love how the tone on tone dots look!

Candy Heart Gumball Machine

Happy February!  Amanda here today with a super cute and super fun Valentine’s Day craft.  Conversations are my all time favorite Valentine’s Day candy.  I love the colors, the little messages, and the fun little heart shapes.  I almost fell over when I saw the UR Sweet paper from the We Go Together collection.  It was everything I loved about conversation hearts on a single sheet of paper.  I thought it would be fun to pair this  cute paper with some candy conversation hearts to create a Valentine’s Day gift.

Candy Heart Gumball Machine by @popperandmimi using We Go Together papers from @pebblesincValentine’s Day pretty is pretty low key at our house, but every year I like to make my kids a fun little candy gift.   I gathered a few plastic Christmas ornaments (the kind that come in two halves) and some patterned paper and put my die cutting machine to work.  A few minutes later and I had some cute little gifts ready for Valentine’s Day.

Candy Heart Gumball Machine by @popperandmimi using We Go Together papers from @pebblesincThe gumball machine base is the key to the whole project.  I found that resizing the base to be the same diameter as the ornament makes for a well balanced gumball machine.  And although not functional, the little dial on the front is still a lot of fun.  Secure the spinner with a brad to add an interactive element to your gumball machine.

Candy Heart Gumball Machine by @popperandmimi using We Go Together papers from @pebblesincTie the halves of the plastic ornament together with a piece of baker’s twine and top with a conversation heart sticker.

Candy Heart Gumball Machine by @popperandmimi using We Go Together papers from @pebblesincBefore you begin assembling the gumball machine base, adhere the dial components to the base.  This will eliminate a lot of hassle after the base is assembled.

Candy Heart Gumball Machine by @popperandmimi using We Go Together papers from @pebblesincApply a strong adhesive (I prefer This to That double sided red tape) to the inside of the gumball base and not to the tabs on the bottom portion of the base.  Adhere tabs one at a time as you work your way around in a circle.

Candy Heart Gumball Machine by @popperandmimi using We Go Together papers from @pebblesincWhen you are done, your base should look like this.  Gently fold the top tabs inward and place your ornament on top.
