Baby Dreams with Terhi

Jul

Hello lovelies! Terhi here, Mother of two girls, inspiring you with a baby dreams page about this lovely baby boy! Let me tell you something about it.

Sometime ago I found myself very inspired scrapbooking baby pages, and as I absolutely love the ‘Night Night’ collection, I wanted to find a way to use all the baby-themed products. I snuck to my Sister’s photo album and grabbed a couple of Christening photos to scan and print. Of course I returned the original photos, and made my sweet Sister happy by giving her this layout in a frame!

There’s nothing better than making someone happy! Of course, giving presents on birthdays and other celebrations is great, but surprising one another in everyday life is important too I think. This layout found its place soon on my Sister’s living room wall, and it makes me humble knowing she likes it so much.

The page is made using very simple techniques. First, I added some blue texture paste through a square patterned stencil, and let it dry. Then I cut out some 0,5″, 1″ and 1,5″ squares and rectangles from all the patterned paper in this line. I then glued them down to the background. Some squares are attached with 3D foam, too.

The photograph of my sweet godson is the focus point of the page, and under that I placed the title. On top of the word “baby” is another part of the title, the lovely silver words. The embellishments on the page are from both from the ‘Night Night’ Baby Boy ephemera pack and sticker sheet.

Once everything was ready, I covered the photo with a baby wipe and flicked some very light blue and white mist drops here and there to give the layout finished look.

Go ahead and find your precious baby page to scrapbook, it’s so much fun! Hope you are inspired!

Precious Baby Girl by Terhi

Hello Pebbles fans! Terhi Koskinen here to inspire you with another baby-themed layout. Let’s continue the fun journey with cut files too! A week ago, I was here talking about sewing cut files onto scrapbook layout. Today we’ll keep talking about cut files with another idea on mind.

The large butterfly cut file is from Paige Evans’ Facebook group called ‘Paige Evans – Happy Scrappy Place‘ where Paige herself is sharing inspiration, hosting challenges and sharing free cut files every week. You can cut the butterfly as a teeny tiny small embellishment or make it a focus point on a layout like I did.

I actually cut it twice. First I cut it with all the holes and details. Next, I cut just the outer edge and glued these two on top of each other. This is definitely the easiest and quickest way to get familiar with the backing technique. If you want to take this technique to the next level, back the holes separately with different patterned papers – time consuming but SO worth it!

This tender and sweet layout wasn’t right spot for heavy mixed media, but I wanted to have something small on the background. That’s why I ended up cutting small triangles. To begin, I first cut a piece of patterned paper to 2″ square, then cut it half on the diagonal. I used these triangles here and there, adhering each one in place with foam tape to make more dimension.

If you look very close, you can spy a couple of golden spots here and there. I love using watercolors and mists (or actually any liquid media) to give the perfect touch to all my layouts. For this layout, the gold color was a good choice as the title is golden as well.

Small butterflies, flowers, blooms and leaves are both from the ‘Night Night’ ephemera pack and sticker sheet. The stickers are flat, so I repeated the foam tape trick to make them pop up.

After this baby girl page, I’m inspired to do another with a boy theme! Fortunately my sister has a boy, so I’m off to search for the perfect baby boy pictures from her drawers. Can’t stop loving ‘Night Night’!

Hope you are inspired, and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Baby Spinner Cards

Hello Pebbles’ fans! Eva here on the blog today sharing a tutorial on how to make some cute baby spinner cards with the new Night Night collection.

I always feel happy when a new baby comes to this world, I don’t make lots of cards but I always keep one or two baby cards on my stash.

Making spinner cards is really easy and the wow effect is assured! everyone is going to love these spinner cards!

Start with a 8×6 inch white paper and score it in half with the new Mini Score Board by We R Memory Keepers. Isn’t it a cutie? I love my mini score board!

Choose a background for your card and cut it slightly smaller than 4×6 inches. You want to leave a white border! I chose this beautiful flower paper from the Night Night Girl collection.

Next, use dies or the We R Clear Cut punches to cut a shape in the upper half of your patterned paper.

After that, chose two mirror images smaller than your window. I cut two bunnies from this lovely bunny paper.

On the back of your paper attach your gold thread (I am using the one from Stitch Happy) using some tape and a strong liquid glue. Center your two bunnies on the gold thread.

Next, use the same Clear Punch to cut the white base. Because the punch has a clear base you can center it perfectly!

Once I had my card ready I decorated all the borders with a straight stitch and my Stitch Happy machine by We R Memory Keepers, the thread is so thick it adds lots of color and texture to your project.

Finally, I decorated my card with a few phrases and shapes from this lovely gold Thickers.

I also created a baby boy version. It is the same but I used silver thread and a die for the window. Also, because I couldn’t find two mirror images I decorated the back of my die cut with a star and a sentiment.

Remember that you can always put a sentiment behind your spinner image!

See how easy it was? Don’t forget to spin your image before placing your card on your envelope, that way the card will spin when your receiver opens it!

I love to see that image spin! Thanks for joining me today!

Have a great day!

Eva

Night, Night Baby Girl Layout with Amanda

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Amanda here, returning to share another dreamy baby layout using our sweet, Night Night collection. This time it’s with our gorgeously girly and pink papers! One for my daughter’s baby album – so dreamy and divine! I hope it has you thinking sugar and spice, and all things nice!

Oh.my.goodness! Could this be any sweeter?! Such a beautiful baby collection!

Pebbles really make it easy to document our most treasure memories! And speaking of simple, this layout is so easy to recreate – you’ll whip this up in a matter of minutes! Here’s how…..

I start with cutting out a hot air balloon and clouds cut file in white cardstock. There are LOTS of these designs available, but if you’re wanting this exact file it’s called, Sky’s The Limit & you can get it HERE.

Take pattern papers SNUGGLE TIME, & TWINKLE TWINKLE, and use them to back the hot air balloon cut file, as shown. I also foam mount that super cute ‘bear on a cloud’ PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPE onto the balloon.

Next, attach the balloon & clouds to the white cardstock base. I layer my darling photograph onto a photo matte created from pattern paper TWINKLE TWINKLE, position onto the lower level cloud and then embellish with that sweet ‘baby’ cloud. While the foam dots are out, I also mount a PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPE banner onto the balloon basket.

Next, I attach a 6 x 12 ACCENT STICKER hot air balloon, as well as a PRINTED CARDSTOCK SHAPE to the top left hand side of my photograph.

I continue to ‘build up’ my scene with PUFFY STICKERS, REPEAT STICKERS & those tiny hearts from the GOLDIE THICKERS. That bear on a cloud is my favourite! Here’s a closer look…..

Cuteness overload! To make my clouds a bit easier to see on the white base, I give them a light pencil outline. You’ll also spy tiny details like the little bow and banner trim from the REPEAT STICKERS – it’s all about the details!

Next, I added that sweet GOLDIE THICKERS title, Baby Girl! SO divine!!!

The solid gold THICKERS are perfection! I am pretty sure I’ll be needing another pack of these soon!

And for finishing touches, I take the reverse side of the barcode strip on pattern paper SNUGGLE TIME and tape it to the base of my page. I also cut a one inch wide strip of this paper and give it the scallop punch treatment. I tape this detailed strip to the top of my layout. Such a simple, but oh so effective way to ‘complete the look’.
