New Year’s Resolutions Pocket Letter / Pocket Page

28
Dec
Leave a Comment

Hi everyone, Heather Leopard is here and I am so excited for 2018 Resolutions week. I thought it’d be fun to create a pocket page that will coordinate with a New Year’s Eve page you’ll see here on the blog next week. This pocket page will store our resolutions notes for 2018 that we’ll write on NYE, hence the empty spots.

Grab your supplies

I used a mix of Pebbles collections that included gold elements, like Girl Squad, Heart of Home and Merry Merry. I even added some gold packaging from a recent mailer I received.

Kick it off with 2018

This pocket page will also be the opening page for my 2018 album next year so it just made sense to add 2018 to the 1st pocket. I added a doily as the base and then just layered over it.

Hello

I was originally going to add “hello” to 2018 but I didn’t like the composition so I moved it to the next card, which was created using two patterned papers. Then, I added some thread and a butterfly embellishment.

Grow Together

Since this is an opening spread to my family’s new year, the “Grow Together” sentiment was perfect.

Happy Family

I used a rosette from the Valentine collection and just removed the Valentine themed sentiment and added a gold sequin. I placed it ocer layers of paper, tags and a sticker.

#awesome

I created a sequin pocket for this cute little frame. I added some sequins to a small jewelry bag, placing a few in the bag using glue dots so they didn’t all fall down to the bottom. Using my fuse tool, I made the bag to the right size of the paper frame. More tips on this can be found on my Instagram (@heatherleopard).

Gold mailer

I included an ampersand on the last pocket to show that our 2018 story will continue throughout the pages of the album. I was even able to align it so that the bubble wrap dots create a “…” after the ampersand.

So that’s how I created my resolutions page to kick off my 2018 album.

Tell me, do you do yearly albums and if so, do you create a page for each year?

Have fun creating 3D Christmas tree Tags and Decor

Hello Pebbles Friends! It’s Leanne here today sharing my ideas for some 3D Christmas tree décor items and tags to sit on the Christmas table. This week on the Pebbles blog, the design team have created lots of different ways to play with the new Merry Merry patterned paper collection.  These 3D décor items can be dressed as elegantly as you want, or paired down with classic kraft.

3D trimmings and tags for Christmas using @PebblesInc #MerryMerry Collection.

I’ve chosen to limit my colour palette to kraft, green, gold and white. The touches of gold glitter add the extra sparkle that is required at Christmas time! Start with gathering your supplies: kraft cardstock, white and gold glitter cardstock, white offcut cardstock, patterned paper, twine, star punch.

3D Christmas Tree Tags

step 1: Create a tag from the Merry Merry Glittered Cardstock. Trim a tag reinforcement circle from white cardstock and add directly to your tag. Trim three (3) squares of patterned paper – 1 x 3″x3″, 1 x 2.5″x2.5″, 1 X 2″x2″.

step 2: To create the 3D Christmas tree effect, score along the lines on all three squares of patterned paper. Diagonally – A to F; diagonally B to E; along the center line C to D.

step 3: Fold and unfold along all three score lines. Refold along the center line – C to D. Once the square piece of paper has been folded in half, gently push points C and D inside the fold, to form a triangle. Secure the triangle with a sticky dot.

step 4: Assemble the tree by inserting the triangles inside each as shown below.

step 5: Add the tree to the front of the tag, along with a gold glitter star mounted on a foam dot and twine.

step 6: Using a white gel pen, write your loved ones names in the space on the bottom of the tag.

Once you know how to fold the squares of patterned paper, these 3D tags are easy to make on a mass production scale for the whole family!

***

3D Christmas Tree Cones

The paper cone Christmas tree is also very simple to recreate and will look amazing as part of your 3D Christmas décor.

Start with gathering your supplies from the Merry Merry patterned paper collection. I have used Glittered Cardstock, Candy Stripes patterned paper and Holly Berries patterned paper. I’ve teamed these papers up with a free silhouette cut file and pretty Dollar Store pom poms.

step 1: Source a free cone shape template from the internet and cut out patterned paper using either free hand or by using an electronic cutter.

step 2: Create the cone shape and adhere sides together.

You can create different sizes for your cones using the silhouette software.

step 3: Upgrade your little 3D Christmas trees with the addition of hot gluing tinsel type pom poms on the top.

Finally these cute little trees are ready to be displayed as part of your Christmas décor as well. Happy Holidays!

Hello, Pebbles’ fans! Eva Pizarro here today showing you how to make two quick Christmas Tags using our new Merry Merry collection.

Every year I wrap my Christmas presents the last two days and that doesn’t leave me much time to embellish the package. The only thing I add is a cute Christmas Tag, I try to make them quick and simple. This year I am using the die cuts and papers from the new Merry Merry collection.

Use A Letter Board To Count Down To The Holidays!

Hello everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to those of you who are celebrating today! It’s Monique on the blog sharing how awesome the new DCWV letter boards are! I love counting down to the holidays & other celebrations… I love the air of anticipation and the happy feeling surrounding the holiday season and therefore I love a count down. The new DCWV letter boards are so perfect for this! Like this one I created for Thanksgiving:

Count Down Letter Board Idea by @moniqueliedtke for @PebblesInc.I used a few die-cuts and a sticker from the Heart of Home collection to embellish the board a bit more. As the board has a smooth surface it’s easy to stick stickers or a light adhesive tape to it and remove it again later on (although I did make the stickers a little bit less adhesive by sticking them to my jeans a few times first).

The board measures 16″ x 20″ and comes with 188 one inch characters. There are many coordinating products available to pair with the board like hand-lettered words, icons and other additional letter packs. The black 1″ letters were included in the box with the letter board and the pink 2″ letters are an example of a set of extra letters:

I loved playing with my board and my kids did too!

I just love the different looks of the letters and words!

And just because I wanted to play with my board some more I decided to change the text from “count down to Thanksgiving” into “count down to Christmas”. In no time at all I was done:

Aren’t the Christmas icons fun?! This time I added a few die-cuts from the new Pebbles’ Merry Merry collection!

This board is totally addictive! Every time I find myself near it I want to play with it some more! Can’t wait to hear what you think of it! And just for fun I’m adding a quick close-up of the Christmas layout you in the photo next to the letter board:

Count Down Letter Board Idea by @moniqueliedtke for @PebblesInc.

I created a Christmas tree in the layout using the paper weaving technique and added a photo from last year with my hubby and the kids. I used lots of  bits and pieces, all from Pebbles’ Merry Merry collection. Such a fun collection!!

This is it for now. Thank you so much for stopping by our blog today and wishing you a happy holiday season!
