Hello Pebbles Fans!  Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you a simple Mother’s Day Banner made with Pebbles Inc Cottage Living collection.

Mother's Day Banner made with the Cottage Living collection from @pebblesinc by @ribbonsandglue

All moms should feel special on Mother’s Day so why not make her a pretty banner that can hang off her chair at the table, hang across a mantel in the family room  or even across a mirror.

How to make a Mother's Day Banner with Alphabet Banner kit from @pebblesinc by @ribbonsandglue

To make the banner, I chose the letters M-O-M from  the Cottage Living Alphabet Banner Kit, strung it with pink seam binding ribbon and adhered pretty Cottage Living Paper Flowers in the corners.

Mother’s Day Mini Album

Hello Friends! Amy here, visiting from The Happy Scraps. I’m so delighted to be here today sharing this fun little Mini Album, perfect to give Grandma for Mother’s Day.

I started by collecting my supplies.

supplies

Using my electronic die cutting machine, I cut my chipboard into the shapes I wanted for the pages.

Next, I cut the same images out of the paper. I flipped the images and cut them for the back sides of the chipboard as well. I ran them through my sticker maker to make it easier to adhere all the paper to the chipboard pages.

I adhered the paper to the chipboard.

Once I had all the patterned paper adhered to the chipboard, I punched holes for the binding using the Cinch.

I cut the binding down to the size I needed it for this book.

Then put the pages on the binding and closed the binding.

Now you are ready to embellish your cute little book. I started by adding letters using Thickers to the front cover.

Next I made some little flowers for the cover as well. I hand cut out some circles in different sizes. Layered them, pierced a hole, and used a brad to hold them together.

I adhered the flowers to the front of the album. I attached the larger one directly down on the page, and I used dimension squares for the smaller one, adding a little bit of height.

I continued through the book, adding the words to write “Home is where Grandma is” using the Thickers. I also embellished using ribbon & twine, and adding the little clip on the second page. I had each of my boys draw a little picture for grandma, and then I added a couple of family pictures at the end. You can see each page below.

pages-5-6

I also added some ribbon to the binding. I think it’s such a fun touch!

I’m sure that grandma will love to receive such a fun little gift, because it is so personal.

Floral Mother’s Day Cards

I’ll admit that Mother’s Day isn’t my most favorite holiday, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be a stinker and not send cards to the moms, grandmas, aunts, etc., in my life. Mother’s Day cards are extra fun to make because they are all about pretty colors and feminine flowers.

Floral Mother's Day cards by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage Living collectionInspired by the bold black and gold tones, and softer mint and coral tones in the Cottage Living collection, I created a collection of modern, yet feminine Mother’s Day cards that are perfect for any of the women in  your life.

Floral Mother's Day cards by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage Living collectionThe puffy stickers from the Cottage Living collection are irresistable. This puffy gold and black sentiment, paired with a pale pink flower and gray stripes gives this card an old-timey Hollywood glamour feel.

Cottage Living is chock full of bold stripes and pretty floral prints which are perfect for Mother’s Day cards. The “I adore you” sentiment stamp from the acrylic stamp set is perfect for mom, grandma, auntie or sister.

Floral Mother's Day cards by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage Living collectionI don’t know about you, but I am totally digging the eighties vibe of the black and gold Thickers. Paired with a gold foiled black tag, this card is chic and hip all at the same time. Plus, the sentiment is simple. I don’t do smooshy, ooey-gooey sentiments, so a nice Mom sentiment on a pretty card totally works for me.

Floral Mother's Day cards by @popperandmimi using @pebblesinc Cottage Living collectionWhile fussy cutting isn’t difficult, there are a couple of things you can do to make a cleaner cut around your image. The first step to a nice, clean fussy-cut image is to rough cut around the image you are using. You want to eliminate the bulk of the paper around the edge of the image, while making sure you have enough to for the scissors to hang on to. Go ahead and use your chunky scissors for this cut.

Smaller scissors will allow you to cut around the finer details of your image with ease. Now here’s the clincher–hold your scissors at an angle, pointing away from your image. This will allow for a more precise, cleaner cut. Cut using the inside to middle of your scissor blades rather than the tip for more control while cutting. Be sure to rotate the paper rather than rotating your scissors.

Mother's Day

No one loves a beautiful handmade card more than Mom. Today Design Team Member Laura Craigie is sharing a couple of the lovely Mother’s Day cards she’s made for the coming holiday.

Mother's Day cards created by @justlulu for @PebblesInc using the #SpecialDelivery collection #cards #mothersday
It’s almost Mother’s Day, and I needed to get cracking on making cards to send out.  Here are two that I have made so far.

I think it’s also important to send cards to Grandparents if you are blessed enough to have them around, thusly I made this “Nana” card.  I covered the floral die cut in glitter glue for some extra fun, and a bit of Glossy Accents on the leaves.  I think it’s a really fun and dramatic touch to add.

And then of course a card for Mom.  I love using the ABC cards as a bold monogram on my cards, it’s just such a cute option.  Those glitter thickers also really help to make this card shine.

Are you all ready for Mother’s Day this weekend? If you need a last minute idea, this sweet Mother’s Day card and basket created by Kathy Martin may be just the thing!

Mother's Day

If your mom enjoys the little things like I do, a gift of time spent with my family strawberry picking or going for a hike and picnic is just the thing!

Mother's Day gift idea via @kathymartin for @PebblesInc using the #GardenParty and #SpecialDelivery collections #gift #Mothersday #cards

A handmade card with a small gift basket of strawberries or pretty cut flowers with an invitation to lunch or anything involving the family is the best way to spend mother’s day.
