Unique Card for a Unique Mom

May

Hey all!
One week until time to celebrate something we all have: Mother.
Usually this is one of the highlights of the year in our family, but this year we are going to continue protecting our loved ones and not celebrating Mother’s Day together.
Thanks for technology, at least we can talk through videos and phone.

Instead of a hand made card, I decided on creating a mini book about a vacation we had together with my Mom last fall. We travelled to Canary Islands, just the two of us, to breath and relax. I have captured all the photos to my scrapbook albums, but thought these photos would offer highly appreciated memories to my Mom. Especially during the situation we are living in now.

The mini book has been created in very simple steps. The cover has three pieces of card board, all covered with beautiful patterned paper from Lovely Moments collection. To be specific, the paper is called “Springs”.
The pages inside are actually cards from the Lovely Moments Boxed Cards. Three cards together inside each other. Five card sets attached to the cover using embroidery thread. Firm knots, and that’s it!

To add some glamour and shiny elements for the cover, I added lots of sequins at the same with attaching the pages.
You only need a needle to make a book with adorable embellishments!

There are lots of photos inside the mini book, but also lots of empty space for my Mom to write her own memories. I used thickers to write couple main titles like “beach day” and “good night”, but the rest is for her to write.

I tried my best to make thick covers enough to keep the mini album closed. But again I made it too thin or too many pages. This happens every time!
In the end I solved the problem by adding lace ribbons to keep the book closed, and I think it looks better now.

Hope you have a moment to create something beautiful today!

Gift Boxes With Hey, Hello

Leave a Comment

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.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Gift box for Mother’s Day

Hello crafty friends it’ Lucile ! Today I find you for a new creation. I suggest you make a gift box for Mother’s Day. I used the collection “Loves me” to realize my box. I love this collection and I think it’s perfect for Mother’s Day! This box will allow you to slip a small gift or a card for your mother. Of course you can adapt this idea to any occasion.

To begin, I cut all the pieces to build my box in cardboard. I then assembled them with framing tape. I strengthened it so that it is solid.

Then I created my drawer. I cut a half circle in the front to make it easier to open. I covered my entire box with a paper from the collection. I did the same for my drawer also covering the interior so that it looks nicer when it is opened. To cover my box I use double-sided tape and my fold, you can also use liquid glue if you prefer.

Finally I decorated the top of my box. I pasted a paper with 3D foams to add volume. Then I wrote “mother” in the center with the alphabet of the collection. I add stickers and ephemera on the side by putting them below and above the paper. Finally I added “happy day”.

All you have to do is slip a little present in the drawer! I hope that this idea of gift box will have pleased you, I will find you soon for a new creation!

Tea Bag Boxes ft. Tealightful collection

May

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles’ fans! It’s Eva Pizarro here today, showing you how to make some cute Tea Bag Boxes that are ideal for Mother’s Day!

I got my inspiration from this beautiful paper from the Tealightful collection. The small phrases and designs are perfect to make little tags for your tea bags. If you don’t drink tea, use herbal or fruit infusions like I did!

Begin by cutting several squares from the paper shown below. Mix white and color background squares.

Punch holes in both the tag and the tea bag with your Crop a Dile. Create the tag with the white Corner Chomper; this tool punches triangles in two different sizes, allowing you to make tags in seconds!

Use twine to attach your tea bag to your tag. You may use a staple to attach your twine to your tea bag or, if you don’t want any metal on your tea cup, do it as I did by tying a bow at the top.

Make boxes with the 1,2,3 Punch Board. Use the die cuts and puffy stickers from the Tealightful collection to embellish the boxes.

Place your tea bags inside of the cute boxes. Write the flavor of the tea on the back of the tag, if desired.

I creates two boxes: One for my mom and the other for my mother-in-law. I think they are going to love them on Mother’s Day! You could use this idea for favors or simply a small, thoughtful gift.

I hope you enjoyed this Mother’s Day gift idea. If you try this project, please share. I would love to see it.

Have a great day!

Eva
