Christmas gift box

Dec

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I find you for a new creation. We are going to make a gift box. It’s perfect for wrapping your gifts in a nice way or for storing your december daily!

The first step is to create the box. For that I used cardboard. The box is 15 by 20 centimeters and 4 centimeters thick. I started by cutting all of my pieces and then I assembled them with double sided. I then covered my box with a paper from the Pebbles Merry Little Christmas collection. Then, I covered the inside of my box with another paper. I love the patterns of the papers I find them too cute!

On the edge I wrote 2019 with an alphabet because this box will allow me to store my December daily at the end of the month.

On the front of my box, I cut a circle in my cardboard. This technique allows me to add a volume effect to my box. Then, I cut a crown of leaves with my Silhouette Cameo. I came to stick it around my circle and then I glued a grid pattern paper underneath.

Then I decorated the top of my box. I started by cutting a frame in a paper from the collection. Then I decorated my crown of leaves with dies cut and stickers from the collection. I also added golden stickers in holly strength. Finally I stuck “Joy to the world” in the center of my circle.

Inside my box I ordered my december daily! I hope you like this box, I can’t wait to see your Christmas gift boxes. See you soon for new creations, Lucile.

Merry Little Christmas Cards

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. Christmas cards may seem a little old fashion, but receiving one in the mail delights me so much. There is just something more tangible to a real card versus receiving an electronic greeting. There is still time to create some Christmas cards to send out to your favorite people too. I have a few ideas to share with you today using the festive Merry Little Christmas collection.

To aid in the creative process, I like to sort my die cut ephemera pieces into categories. For these cards, I had Winter scene and Santa Claus piles. Then I start looking for coordinating pattern paper. For this card I cut the 3×4 journal card with the card sentiment from a sheet of pattern paper, adhered it to some white cardstock and added a border.

Sometimes the pattern paper reminds me of a digital cut file that I have. This cut file is from JustNick Studios.

This card too was created with one of the 3×4 journal cards cut from a sheet of pattern paper. This time I adhered it to some fun banners I cut out with my Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board.

I couldn’t resist making a little winter scene on this card using the tiny stickers. They are so fun to add a little dimension. I almost made this a shaker card. Wouldn’t that have been fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Christmas is 2 weeks away so go make some cards to mail!!

Christmas Candy

Hey everyone, Michelle here today with a new layout using the Merry Little Christmas collection. Christmas is coming so fast! I love this time of year, my house is all cozy and festive! I’m taking every chance I get to get some time in my scraproom and play with all my new Christmas goodies.

I don’t know if it’s just me but I always want all the Christmas collections. It just puts me in a good mood when I use them. I used a cut file from Cut To You on this layout. I backed the candies in christmas colors.

This photo of my son cracks me up. I’m sure it took him weeks to eat that lollipop. There were too many colors in the photo so I just changed it to black and white, leaving the colors in the lollipop so it would match my papers.

Christmas collections are so easy to work with. Everything matches!

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry Little Christmas with Terhi

Hello Pebbles Fans, it’s Terhi here with another cheerful Christmas layout.
Just as I told you in my previous post (link here), I’m super excited about the upcoming holiday time. As I can’t be decorating and preparing our home for Christmas, I’ve been focusing on Christmas scrapbooking which I’ve usually almost skipped for numerous reasons.

After the last layout I made, I had all the Merry Little Christmas leftovers laying on the table and I couldn’t stop myself from creating another. To make this layout much more dimensional, I created the lovely layered flowers.

Both the flowers and the wreath are cut with my electronic cutting machine, and as usual I’ve picked the cut files free from charge from the endless world of internet. I guess the flowers aren’t anything like poinsettias, but the color scheme will keep the layout tightly on the Christmas theme.

After cutting the petals were attached to each other. This time I chose to use foam dots instead of glue to give the flowers as much dimension as possible. I also used my fingers to curl, wrinkle and fold the petals to give them a good and pretty look.

Finally I finished the layout with couple of embellishments, and by adding the title on the photograph.

Hope you are inspired by this!

Countdown to Christmas: Easy Holiday Cards

Dec

Leave a Comment

Hello friends! It’s the first week of December already – do you have your Christmas cards done? I usually purchase photo cards to send out to the masses, but I like making handmade cards for a few special people in our lives. That being said, I always seem to run short on time, so it’s a good idea to create a simple card and duplicate it using different papers and elements.

Easy Holiday Cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Merry Little Christmas" Collection by @PebblesInc.

The “Merry Little Christmas” collection is so fun and cheery, it was an obvious choice for this year’s cards! I started by trimming a patterned paper to 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ – then I cut 1″ from the bottom to create a coordinating paper strip to add to the card front.

Next, I cut white cardstock to 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ and stitched around the edges with green thread. (I love using my sewing machine on my projects!) I placed the white stitched piece in the center of the pattered background paper, then placed the 1″ coordinating paper strip on top – I varied where I placed the coordinating strip.

Next, I added a tag from the coordinating tag set. I used foam adhesive behind some of them for a touch of added dimension. I also scrounged around in my ribbon scraps to find fun ribbons to tie through the holes of each one. As you can see, I tilted the tags slightly when I attached them over the white stitched piece.

Next, I added coordinating printed die-cut pieces to each card. Some are tucked slightly under the tag, some are overlapping on top. And finally, I added some gold puffy sticker thickers to some of the cards (the holly leaves and berries).

After they were complete, I attached all of the card fronts to white cardstock bases and now I have a start to my handmade cards for this year!

Thanks for stopping by – I hope you feel inspired to whip up a few festive cards yourself now!
