Handmade Christmas Cards with Photos

Hey Pebbles fans, Becki here. Christmas is only 3 days away! I’m finishing up some last minute details. Are you ready for the big day? I look forward to sending out Christmas cards every year. Some years I make Christmas cards and some years I have them printed. The one thing that I always do is include a photo. I usually include a family photo or a photo of my kids. This year I made our Christmas cards and designed them to include our family photo. Today I want to show you 3 cards that I created. Each card is different but they all include a family photo.

Handmade Christmas Cards with Photos by @jbckadams for @Pebblesinc The first card I created has our photo right on the front of the card. This is a 5×7 card. I framed our photo with a 4×6 journaling card. I added the “Merry Christmas” sentiment sticker to the bottom right of the photo.

Handmade Christmas Cards with Photos by @jbckadams for @PebblesincI love gate fold cards. A gate fold card is a card that has 2 flaps that cover the inside of the card. I created a 6×6 gate fold card, covered it in patterned paper and used a “Merry Christmas” sticker as the seal on the card.

The last card I created has a huge sentiment “Merry Christmas” using candy cane Thickers. I stitched the Thickers onto the front of the card to make sure they stayed in place while in the mail.

Winter Snowflake Gift Packaging

Winter Snow Themed Gift Packaging by Mendi Yoshikawa using #HomeForChristmas & #BirthdayWishes collection from @PebblesInc. @SnippetsByMendi

Hello there! It’s Mendi here today with some snowflake themed gift packaging perfect for your Winter Birthday gift giving needs.

Up first I have a little gift bag I created with We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board and some papers from Pebbles Birthday Wishes collection. I love how the addition of a simple snowflake punch gives these versatile papers a completely new look!

I cut an extra 12″ x 1.75″ strip from the polka-dot paper and punched a scalloped edge with a border punch. I was then able to use the punch board to add the score lines and adhere it to the top of my little bag for a fun decorative element.

To give my layered snowflake punches a little pizzazz, I added some glitter glue to my punched pieces and topped them with an over-sized sequin and rhinestone. When they were completely dry, I adhered them to a bow on the front of my bag with a fast drying liquid adhesive.

For my other little gift box, I used We R Memory Keepers Pillow Box Punch Board and set to work decorating it using more basic snowflake punches in my stash and some cute “to” and “from” stamps by Lawn Fawn.

To create the perfect sized belly band around my pillow box, I was able to use the same punch board to score my lines using my completed pillow box as a guide. I love when I’m able to perform multiple tasks using one tool!

Snow Cute Box Card

Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you today a “Snow Cute” box card made with the Pebbles Inc Home for Christmas and Home + Made collections. I have to admit, as I was making this Snow Day card , it’s was a sunny, 60 degree day  in Southern NV.  Definitely not a Snow Day  but snowman are still cute any day of the year.

Snow Cute card made with @pebblesinc Home + Made and Home for Christmas collections and @silhouetteamerica by @ribbonsandglue

The box card is made from a Flower Pot Box Card cut file by Lori Whitlock  that I altered using my Silhouette.  I  embellished the inside of the card with  Home for Christmas Chips and covered the outside of the box card with Home + Made wood-grain paper and Home for Christmas Snow Flurries paper.

Enhanced die cut Chips from the @pebblesinc Home for Christmas collection by @ribbonsandglue

The Pebbles Inc collections almost always contain die cut shape Chips that can be easily enhanced.  I added black glitter glue on to the Snowman’s buttons and enhanced the scarf and trees using a white gel pen.

When the card is folded flat,   the beautiful wood grain paper and a stamped sentiment greet you.

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!

Mini Christmas Cards

Hello everyone, I’m Eva Pizarro and today I’m going to show you how to make quick mini cards that you can use for small greetings or to add to a gift.

For these mini cards I used the envelope seals from the Home For Christmas collection. The size is perfect and you get so many of these in one package that you can make these in bulk.

Begin by sticking the seal to a piece of patterned paper. With a punch or a scallop scissor, cut all around the seal.

Add the seal with dimensional dots to a 2 3/4 inch square card made with kraft paper. Decorate the borders of the card with a black pen and tie some red twine.

Use your Envelope Punch Board by WRMK to do the envelopes. For this card I started with a 5 inch square, aligned my left border at 2 1/2 inches and followed the board instructions.

Assemble the envelope and you are done!

I hope you like these cute mini cards and that you can give them to someone you love this holiday season!
