Birthday Cards Set

Aug

Hi everyone!! It’s Monique with you today and I am super excited to be sharing my first blog post here on the blog as a member of the new Pebbles Design Team!

For today’s blog post I created a set of three 4″x 6″ birthday cards (birthday cards being the cards I use the very most) using the Birthday Wishes collection. I only had three 12″x 12″ sheets of patterned paper left, but as they were all double sided and sported that extra strip of paper at the bottom of the sheet, I had more than enough.

Here’s what I created:

You will notice that the cards are all very similar in design, but I wanted them to be not quite the same, so I gave them all a little something the other cards don’t have.What they all have in common is the large sentiment adhered on a strip of paper. For the sentiment I used American Crafts Thickers (gold “Imprint”). What is different is for example the ladybug die-cut on the first card I made. The addition of the ladybug makes this card perfect to send to a child who’s having a birthday!

The second card I made has a playful piece of twine that the others don’t have:

And the third card has a little bow as opposed to the other two, which gives it just a little added dimension.

I love creating cards and luckily the persons I send them to love getting handmade cards! In the photo collage below I thought I’d show you how I created the little bow I made for the third card.

1. I chose a set of dies from American Crafts to cut the pieces for the bow, but I think you can easily hand cut these parts as well. Next I selected a few leftover pieces of patterned paper and using the Big Shot machine I cut out all the parts and started assembling.
2. For the top of the bow you need the largest piece of paper (left in photo 1) and – with the right side up – fold both the left and right sides inwards and adhere in the middle with a glue dot or a bit of foam adhesive.
3. Next fold the little strip of paper (right in photo 1) around the centre.
4. Layer every item on top of each other like in the photo, staple together and you’re done!Super easy and it gives the card just that little extra that makes it special.

Winter Projects with Monique

Hi everyone! It’s Monique again, sharing some more projects I created with Pebbles’ fabulous Winter Wonderland collection. For today I decided to create another layout and because planner pages are what I love to do too, I decided to decorate a couple of those too.

Let’s start with the layout I made. This time I wanted to do a layout using more than one photo (which is what I normally tend to do). The design is an easy one. I started with three vertical stips of paper in the middle of my page and arranged the photos on the right and left side of it.

Next I created this cluster:

I totally adore the large dimensional rosette and decided that would be the focal point of my page. I layered it onto one of the huge glitter die-cut snowflakes and tucked a Christmas tree under it as well:

And after adding a few more stickers, snowflakes and a few drops of color mist I was done!

Supplies:
Winter Wonderland Snowfun patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33005
Winter Wonderland Blizzard patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33006
Winter Wonderland Winter Walk patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33007
Winter Wonderland Chips Glitter Snowflakes Die-Cut Shapes SKU: PBWW-733027
Winter Wonderland Chips Ephemera w/Glitter Die-Cut Shapes SKU: PBWW-733028
Winter Wonderland Glitter Stickers Icons SKU: PBWW-733019
Winter Wonderland Paper Embellishments Rosettes SKU: PBWW-733025

Next up are my planner pages. Because the Winter Wonderland collection contains so much beautiful washi tape and so many fun stickers, it’s really perfect to decorate planner pages with!! Here’s a quick look at all the washi tape that one booklet holds: fantastic right?!

For my first week I used mainly lots of the cute snowmen:

Here are a few detail photos: did you see those awesome coffee cup stickers!

And isn’t that moose fabulous?! If you’re wondering what the word “Sint” stands for … on December the 5th we (in The Netherlands) celebrate “Sinterklaas” and Sint is short for Sinterklaas (like Santa is short for Santa Claus).

All the paper strips with the text I used were cut off the bottom of the sheets of patterned paper. It’s like those were made for this purpose!

And here’s my planner page for the next week, this time focusing on all those awesome penguins:

And two detail photos:

How I adore this Winter Wonderland collection!!!

These were the last projects I created as guest designer for Pebbles. I’m so grateful for this opportunity and hope you liked what I made. Thank you so much for stopping by to take a peek. Have a great day!

Hi Pebbles fans! It’s Monique again, sharing some super fun projects created with the beautiful Winter Wonderland collection. I adore the colors of this collection and I love all the glitter accents!

For today I created a layout and some cards. As I really love those huge glitter die-cut snowflakes I decided I wanted to create projects showcasing those. Here’s what I did for my layout:

I started this page by cutting huge snowflakes out of a sheet of white cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo:

Next I chose the sheet of patterned paper with the little white dots on it, which kind of gives the impression it snows on this paper and adhered it behind my cardstock:

The 4 beautiful glitter die-cut snowflakes came next:

Using 5 different patterned papers I created a horizontal strip for my photo:

Which I then adhered more or less in the middle of my page:

Choosing which embellishments I should use came next. This was rather difficult as there are so many fun die-cuts to choose from. This is what’s in the “Chips” bag:

I always make sure I glue my papers and photo only in the middle so I’ll be able to tuck in lots of embellishments later on, like I did here:

Last but not least I added a little journaling and a title and I was done! Hope you like it! And here are a few close-ups of my page. Aren’t the snowman and fox the cutest?

Supplies:
Winter Wonderland Snowfun patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33005
Winter Wonderland Winter Walk patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33007
Winter Wonderland Snow Day patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33008
Winter Wonderland Bundle Up patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33013
Winter Wonderland Flurries patterned paper SKU: PBWW-33011
Winter Wonderland Chips Glitter Snowflakes Die-Cut Shapes SKU: PBWW-733027
Winter Wonderland Chips Ephemera w/Glitter Die-Cut Shapes SKU: PBWW-733028
Winter Wonderland Glitter Stickers Icons SKU: PBWW-733019

Next I created these two cards, which measure 6″ x 6″ each.

I always love combining different patterns and so that’s what I did. I started with the darker pattern, which measures 5.5″ x 5.5″. Next I added a lighter color on top, measuring 5″ x 5″ and for the “Hot Chocolate” card I even added another layer, measuring 4.5″ x 4.5″. The machine sewing came next (before adhering everything to my cardstock base), followed by the horizontal strips of paper and again a bit of sewing. On top I added a little kraft bag, a glitter die-cut snowflake and a little card, which I cut from the “Snowfun” paper.

A detail photo of the “Hello There” card:

Hi everyone, it’s Monique again guest designing for Pebbles!

I’m so in love with the beautiful Home + Made collection from Jen Hadfield! It almost scraps itself! For today’s blog post I decorated the “Home Art Hanger” and created a layout for it. Here’s what I did:

As I love all the sheets of patterned paper in this collection so very much I wanted to create a layout using lots of those sheets and came up with this design. It includes 8 strips of patterned paper measuring 3″x 6″.

I also added a few pieces of the beautiful decorative tape and the large “I Love Us” cut file, which I designed myself and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo. Next came the photo and the other embellishments:

A few detail photos: I used one of the 3″x 3″ Minc cards and some puffy phrase stickers. The arrow was cut with the Homemade dieset from one of the mini kraft pocket tags.

And the layout wouldn’t be complete without these cute phrase tags, which I adhered using a stapler.

The Art Hanger I painted white and decorated with some patterned paper and a gold foil letter sticker:

I love how easy to use this Art Hanger is. It contains two magnets at the back and you just clip your project in between:

Supplies:
Homemade 12×12 Paper Pad (732643)
Homemade Mini Kraft Pockets With Gold Glitter Accents (732620)

And because I hate wasting even a tiny piece of this beautiful collection and because I had so many scraps lying on my desk, I decided to created these 2 super quick and fun gift bags:
