Valentine’s Day Card and Quick Gift

Feb

Hello, Renee here today to share a Valentine’s Day Card and Quick Gift using the My Funny Valentine collection. Hope you all enjoyed Valentine’s Day with your loved ones. This card and stacked treat boxes gift set was given to Payton’s teacher for Valentine’s Day. I can see myself making this for a birthday, too. I loved using my We R Memory Keepers 123 Punch Board for this project! So cute!

I decided to create 2 ½” x 2 ½” x 1 ¾”, 3 ¼” x 3 ¼” x 1 ¾”, and 4″ x 4″ x 1 ¾” boxes. So, I trimmed the Fresh Strawberries pattern paper to 7″ x 7″, the Heart Fest pattern paper to 8″ x 8″, and the Beautiful Day pattern paper to 9″ x 9″.
I followed the rest of the instructions and made my punches and scored the papers.
I folded and adhered the pattern papers to create adorable little treat boxes.

I filled the boxes with sweet treats! Yum!

No adhesive here. I simply closed up the boxes, stacked them (heaviest treats went into the bottom box), and used green tulle (teacher’s favorite color) to tie them together and make a pretty bow.

I used a Raised Adhesive Dot to adhere this fun apple Die-Cut to the treat boxes that is just perfect for Payton’s teacher.

Love the Glitter Heart Stickers because the glitter stays put on my project and doesn’t fall off easily!

3D Hearts Cards

Hello Pebbles friends, Monique here sharing my 3D hearts cards with you. I said so before, I love Valentine’s Day and I love creating for it. Today I would like to show you three cards I created with the My Funny Valentine collection, even though Valentine’s Day has come and gone. I think every day is a perfect day to tell someone you love them or how terrific you think they are, so these cards can be sent any day (except maybe for the one with “Happy Valentines Day” on it).

3D Hearts Cards made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #MyFunnyValentine collection from @PebblesInc.

I love adding a bit of extra texture and dimension to my cards, but as the cards should still fit in an envelope you can’t go overboard with this. Adding folded hearts like I did here is the perfect solution as they are super easy to fold back so they are flat again. Here’s a little photo collage showing how I created the card with the cute little piggie:

3D Hearts Cards made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #MyFunnyValentine collection from @PebblesInc.

1: I punched three hearts and using a tiny attacher I stapled them on top of each other and folded the sides of the two top hearts up.

2: I cut a piece of cardstock (8 x 13 cm) and adhered the piggie sticker to it. I pierced three little holes in the card and threaded three pieces of twine through them, knotting them at one end.

3: Next I adhered the folded hearts on top of the pierced holes, so it looked like the twine is now attached to them.

4: Using a black pen I doodled around the four edges of the cardstock.

I cut a piece of patterned paper (9 x 14 cm) and matted the withe card with it and adhered it all on a folded piece of white cardstock. The finished card now measures 10 x 15 cm (= 4″ x 6″). With an extra (gold) heart sticker and a die-cut stapled to it the card is ready to be sent!

In this same way I created two more cards, using two more of those cute stickers as the centre piece of it all. Like these donuts, aren’t they super cute?! Of course I just had to use donut paper in the 3D hearts as well.

And because my planner was also lying on my desk my cards were lying on top of it and from this I got an idea for my planner!

XOXO Valentine’s Day Layout..

Happy Valentine’s Day Friends! It’s Leanne here today and I’m so happy to be able to share a layout with you, using the gorgeous My Funny Valentine collection!! Have a look at all those pink and red tones! Just perfect for scrapbooking the ones you love.

The layout I am sharing today features the relationship I have with my teenage daughter. Lot’s of hugs and kisses.

Celebrate the ones you love this Valentine's Day by using @PebblesInc #MyFunnyValentine collection, as shared by @leanne_allinson.

It is not often that I get in front of the camera but this photo with my girl, was a great one to document with x’s and o’s trimmed from the collection’s mini paper pad.

Using the We R Memory Keepers mini alphabet punch board, I punched out two letter o’s. The x’s were free style cut as opposed to using the mini alphabet punch, as I felt the layout needed sharper lines instead of curves. I love that these letters form my title but before I added them to the page, I’ve built up a few layers of patterned paper to mount my photo on.

You may notice, I have also added layers between the layers. The ephemera dies and fussy cut flowers from the Pretty In Pink patterned paper, have been placed to overlap and draw the eye across my page with their splashes of colour. The puffy stickers are a fun element to add to the layers and clusters of patterned paper without too much distraction.

To complete my layout, I have typed my journaling onto excess cardstock and cut into strips. I then machine stitched each journaling phrase directly to my cardstock base. A few splashes of Heidi Swapp colorshine , a machine stitched border and I have a cute Valentine’s Day layout to add to my 2017 album.

I hope I have encouraged or inspired you to document your own Valentine’s Day memories. February is the perfect month to scrapbook any kind of relationship, so be sure to take advantage of all the pink and red colours in the My Funny Valentine collection. Thanks for visiting..x

Hugs & Kisses DIY Valentine’s Day Home Decor

Happy day before Valentine’s Day, friends! I wanted to share a quick and easy DIY Valentine Home Decor you can whip up tonight for the big day tomorrow.

I spotted this wonderful Heart shaped corkboard in the dollar spot at one of my most favorite places in the world and I snatched it up right away. I wish I had grabbed more because I love it so! Anyway, it was the inspiration I needed to celebrate my greatest loves! I printed a 2.5″x3″ photo of my hubby and me and then two 2″x3″ photos of our girls but what could I do to decorate this heart shaped corkboard that would help keep the shape of the heart? I figured it’s all about the curves here so a few dimensional flowers would do the trick.

Creating the flowers is actually pretty quick and easy. I cut different shapes of squares and then cut them in a spiral, like you see in the top right and bottom of the photo above. I kept some with a straight edge and others with a scallop.

While my glue gun was heating, I starting rolling the spiral around a pencil, starting with the outside edge. Then, pulling the pencil away, I tightened it and shaped the flower to my liking and sealed it all together by applying hot glue to that round base.

How cute is this heart corkboard? I created some additional flowers using my Silhouette CAMEO and a few cut files I had purchased.

I decided to put clusters of flowers in a triangle because you know, decorating rules.

Lastly, add photos and embellishments! Hang this DIY Valentine Home Decor for all your special people to see.

Valentine Cupcakes

Hello everyone! Eva Pizarro here today bringing you some sweet Valentine’s decor made with the My Funny Valentine line.

This toppers and wrappers are very easy to make! The die cut package in this line has 40 different designs so you can make enough for friends and family or even for guests of your Valentine’s Party!

I made the wrappers with the new DIY Party Board by our sister company We R Memory Keepers and some 12 x 12 inch patterned paper. One piece of paper, two cuts and a piece of double sided adhesive and your wrappers are ready! It can’t get any easier than that!

The toppers are also very simple, for my first topper I used patterned paper and some puffy stickers.

Layer your pieces together and attach to your skewer with a glue dot or some washi tape.

For the next ones I used a die cut, patterned paper and a “love” word from the puffy stickers.

If you want your puffy sticker to attach a little better to your skewer use a strong liquid adhesive or a tiny dot of hot glue.

My last two toppers are very simple as well. For the first one layer some patterned paper, a white cardstock circle and add Thickers.

The last one is a bit tinier and I did it with some washi tape and a heart die cut.

I attached the heart in the middle of the toothpick but I think a skewer would be better, that way you can insert the topper all the way down to the cupcake.

Here are all my cupcakes all together! I think that it is fun to add variety and have different kinds of toppers! you could even use these as place holders and add the name in the wrapper.

I hope you liked this project! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
Eva
