Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new project to share using the new Lovely Moments collection. My daughter just celebrated her one year anniversary with her boyfriend. They are so cute and so in love. I made this little sign for her!

This was actually a cheap little welcome sign I got at the dollar store. I started by covering it with paper. I also had these cute little clothespin in my stash, I have no idea where they came from but they were perfect for hanging the little polaroid prints.

I covered the polaroid photos with pattern paper from this collection and added a little word strip on each.

I layered some ephemera and popped up some flower stickers on the sign itself.

It turned out pretty cute and it was a pretty simple project!

Thanks for stopping by!

Star Garland

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Do you like to make some of your own Christmas decorations? I love adding homemade touches around my house… like this star garland. These origami stars can be made into ornaments for the Christmas tree or added to a swag to decorate your fireplace mantle.

To make my star garland I selected a variety of 6×6 pattern papers from the Merry Little Christmas 6×6 paper pad.

The first step to making these stars is to fold and cut the 6×6 papers into pentagon shapes. There is a fabulous tutorial I highly recommend on how to fold the stars here.

Once I had all my stars folded, I tied them to my swag garland with some gold thread.

This is even a craft you could do with older children. Here are some closer views of the stars…

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope I you will want to make your own origami star garland.

Wreath tutorial with Pebbles Inc– cut file included!

While scrapbooking and cardmaking will always be at our core, we often love creating different kind of projects for our home, as well as gifts for our family and friends.

A recent project that our founder, Brenda, took on with Jen was to create a wreath for her letterboard – one that could work for a short time or stay on for a longer season.

Even though Jen’s went on her letterboard, you can customize it to go where ever you’d like it! Make it bigger or smaller – it’s up to you!

To get started, here is your supply list:

  •  Assortment of ­­12”x12” prints (one yellow, 3 different greens) from the This is Family collection
  •    12″x12″ brown chipboard sheet
  •      12″x12″ Yellow cardstock sheets*
  •      12″x12″ White cardstock sheets*
  •     12″x12″ Green cardstock sheets (2-3 coordinating shades)*
  •      Small yellow felt balls
  •     Clear rhinestones (round)
  •      SVG cut file
  •      Scoring tool
  •     Hot glue gun with glue sticks
  •      Tacky glue
  •      1 sheet of 12”x12” chipboard (for the back of the wreath)

*Number of solid cardstock sheets will vary depending
on the final size of the project.

­

Step 1: Print out this PDF or download this SVG file and add it to your computer.

Step 2: Using either file, cut out an assortment of leaves from the different green cardstock prints and solids. Score and/or fold them in half and set aside. Cut out the wreath form as well and set aside.

Step 3: Cut out the yellow flowers. Adhere them together by adding a small line of hot glue to one side. Wrap the other side of the flower into a flower shape and adhere in place. Repeat until desired amount of flowers are created. Finish by adhering a yellow felt ball to the center of each flower. Set aside.

Step 4: Cut out the white flowers and an equal number of yellow center circles. Adhere the flowers together by adding a small dab of hot glue to one side of the notched area and wrap the other side into a flower shape and adhere in place. Repeat until desired amount of flowers are created. Finish by adhering a yellow circle to the center of each flower with hot glue or tacky glue as desired. Set aside.

Step 5: Start laying out the wreath with the flowers first. Adhere them into place once desired arrangement is achieved. Add in leaves around all the flowers until wreath is covered as desired.

Try adding this to your letterboard, craft room wall or front door!

If you recreate the wreath (or something with the cut file!), will you tag us online with the #madewithpebbles hashtag or send us a picture? You can find us online at @pebblesinc or (through email) at [email protected].

One final note – here are the terms of use for the cut file. We hope to provide more resources like this in the future – let us know if there is something specific we can help you with!

Have a great day!


Happy Glamper

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. The warmer weather has my family thinking about future camping trips. We love to pack up the car and drive to one of our favorite camping spots … or even explore a new place. With the glamping craze, I thought maybe I should be decorating our camper … so I decided I needed to make a wreath for the camper door. Here is what I came up with.

This wreath was super easy to make. It took 2.5 rolls of burlap and maybe 15 minutes! Here is a tutorial I found on YouTube to explain how to create this beautiful ruffle wreath. Well then I had to think about how to decorate my wreath. I found a svg design for the camper from SVGcuts. It’s a 3 dimensional camper complete with a lawn flamingo in the front! I made my camper using pattern papers from Jen Hadfield’s Chasing Adventures collection. The hiking girl standing in front is an extra nice touch…don’t you think?

Next I had to figure out how to attach the camper to the wreath. Since the camper is make out of paper I didn’t want to use wire and chance ripping the camper. I finally opted to glue the camper to a blackboard sign. Of course this left me space on the sign I had to decorate with vinyl. I found the cutest Happy Camper cut file in the Silhouette store. I love the trees and mountain scenery behind the camper.

The blackboard sign hangs from a wire at the top of my wreath. I also added a pretty pink bow too.

I love how this turned out. It will be so fun to see people’s reactions when they see this beauty on our camper door!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Where is your favorite place to go camping? I am always looking for a new adventure and would love to hear!
