Sun And Fun Mini Album

24
Apr
Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends, Marcia here today. I thought I would get a jump start on a Summer mini album now when I have time versus in the summer when (hopefully) things are back to normal. The Sun and Fun collection is awesome for recording all kinds of summer activities from pool parties to camping to just enjoying summer foods. I decided on a beach ball shaped mini album. All the pages are circles so even without an electronic cutting machine you could recreate this pretty easily.

I embellished my mini album with the die cut ephemera icons and phrases, cut paper strips, and the cut apart 3″ x 4″ pocket journal cards.

Here are the inside pages. It was fun coordinating the pattern papers. I used a mixture of 2″ x 3″ photo mats and 3″ x 4″ photo mats. This will make it easy using my photo editing software to print multiple photos on 4″ x 6″ photo paper.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Are you ready to start some summer fun?

Gift Boxes With Hey, Hello

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. With most people around the world right now sheltering in place to help reduce the spread of coronavirus, no birthday parties or wedding receptions or baby showers or celebrations of any kind involving groups of people are happening. I want to make sure some special people in my life still feel loved even if we cannot be together for special events. My Mother-in-law just turned 80 and I couldn’t even give her a hug! I decided to make some little gift boxes to deliver to some special people with some goodies inside. I used two coordinating sheets of 12×12 of pattern papers from the beautiful Hey, Hello collection and decorated my boxes with tags that can be cut from pattern paper. Boxes are easy to make. I used a cut file from SVGcuts , but they can also be made without using a cutting machine.

The Hey, Hello collection is perfect for special occasions of all kinds, like birthdays.

There is plenty of room inside for cupcakes, donuts, or cookies.

Layer up a couple tags and a ribbon on the top to make your box so festive looking.

This next gift box could be used for a birthday as well, but I’m giving it to a girl who will be graduating from high school. Commencements have been canceled. I can put candy, gift cards, or cash inside.

I added a tag cut from pattern paper to the top along with a die cut phrase ephemera piece and some ribbon.

But don’t think this collection is just for kids… This beautiful floral box went to my Mother-in-law. It would be perfect for Mother’s Day too. There are lots of other beautiful floral papers that would make lovely gift boxes.

I put her favorite chocolates inside. Once again I adorned my box with ribbon, a tag, die cut ephemera, and cut paper leaves.

Do you have anyone special you can’t be with right now? Why not create a special gift box for them. You don’t need a special occasion to tell someone your thinking of them.

Easter Box Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. With the weather getting warmer I am getting Spring fever as I am sure lots of you are too. I’m in the mood to decorate for Easter, so I thought I would make a couple Easter box cards that I could send out to a few of my favorite little people.

I used a combination of pattern papers from the new Hey, Hello collection and the Lovely Moments collection. The Hey, Hello collection even comes with an acrylic stamp set that I used for the sentiment on this card. A few sticker flowers and a ladybug really give my cards a spring feel.

Isn’t this baby chick adorable! These box cards fold flat for mailing. I love that they can be displayed on your counter or tabletop and enjoyed over and over. You can see more sticker flowers on this card as well as a butterfly.

Thanks so much for stopping by! The Hey, Hello and Lovely Moments collections work so well for Spring projects. Be sure to check them out.

Hey, Hello Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia back today. I’ve been playing with the beautiful new Hey, Hello collection from Jen Hadfield. This collection is a cardmakers dream! So many elements that can be layered to make gorgeous cards for any occasion; Birthday, Sympathy, Thank You, Thinking of You, and so much more. The first cards I created were birthday cards. I always need birthday cards. I bet you do too. Check these out…

This little hedgehog is the cutest! He is all ready to celebrate with you!! The Hey, Hello collection has a sheet of 12×12 pattern paper full of tags like this one. They are excellent for cardmaking layered over a couple other pieces of pattern paper.

There is also a sheet of 12×12 pattern paper with 3×4 journal cards perfect for cardmaking as well. This card features an adorable sloth.

Then I made a sympathy and a thank you card using beautiful florals and black pattern paper for striking contrast.

My sympathy card is also made from a 3×4 journal card. I added some florals for dimension, a dainty bow, and a few nuvo drops for interest.

There is another 12×12 sheet of pattern paper with 2×2 squares, giving you another option for layering on cards.

This last one might be my favorite. I tucked in some fussy cut florals and used lots of layers. Another bow and nuvo drops add interest. My tip for cardmaking: Use some foam dots to help separate the layers like I did here.

Thank you so much for stopping by! If you are a cardmaker, this is one collection you NEED!

Adventure More

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. This week on the Pebbles blog it’s all about the guys! I picked out some masculine pattern papers from the newest Jen Hadfield collection Hey Hello; blues, greens, blacks, and a bit of yellow. I knew embellishing would be difficult so I decided I needed a strong design. My go to shapes for guys are stars and triangles. It’s been a while since I did a triangle layout so I decided to give it a go. Here is what I came up with …

I even cropped my photo into a triangle! If you look closely, you can see I added a few machine stitched triangles too.

The watercolor background sets off my photo and the pattern papers beautifully. I pulled out the Sun & Fun collection embellishments because I wanted to stick to an outdoor theme. I found these awesome trees and a frog which was just perfect!

I used the Lake Thickers that coordinate with the Sun & Fun collection for my title ‘Adventure More‘. Not wanting to do much more embellishing, I thought I would just stamp a few butterflies from the Sun & Fun collection onto my background. Note to self… stamping before adding the title would have made things easier.

I added a strip of pattern paper at the bottom of my layout, repeating the triangle pattern in this pattern paper. At the top of the layout, I added a few triangles I had leftover and then a few tags from the Chasing Adventure collection.

I love how this turned out! Why don’t you join us and create a masculine layout too.
