Hello!  Renee here to share some DIY Lunchbox Note Cards using the Girl Squad collection.  My girls just went back to school yesterday!  The summer break went by so fast, but I am also anxious to get them back to their “happy place” in their school routine.  You know, whether it’s to calm the first day of school jitters or let them know how proud you are of them on the day of a test, these DIY Lunchbox Note Cards are perfect to include loving words of encouragement…along with their favorite sandwich and snacks.

The 6 x 6 Paper Pad is the perfect start for any card!  I trimmed several different pattern papers to make 3″ x 4″ cards along with one 3″ x 3″.

I trimmed the girls off of the You Got This pattern paper to include them on a few of the 3″ x 4″ note cards.

On the 3″ x 3″ note card, I included three Die-Cut girls with one “You Got This” Sticker.  I added the Washi Tape for a finishing touch along the bottom.  It has great hashtags!

The “You’re Great” ticket, “Yay!” speech bubble, “Good Vibes” sunglasses, and “Time To Shine” burst are all Die-Cuts.  The “Congrats” speech bubble was fussy cut from the 6 x 6 Paper Pad.  I added a couple of flower Stickers to embellish the hair.  When the time is right, use your favorite Pen to write down your words of love and encouragement.

Birthday Cards featuring Girl Squad

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles Friends!  It’s Renee here today to share a couple of birthday cards using the Girl Squad collection.  I created these birthday cards to celebrate some summer birthdays for two of my family members.  I love how cute and fun this collection is for any age.  I created one card for my young niece and the other for my older sister.

Let’s get started:

Both of these cards start with a 6″ x 11″ piece of white cardstock.  I folded the cards in half and used a scalloped heart Knock Outs punch along the bottom edge.

I added Washi Tape along the bottom of my cards.

The 6 x 6 Paper Pad is great for card making.  I trimmed two of the gold foiled patterns to 4 ½” x 5 ¾” and added them just above the washi tape.

Card #1:

For the card for my niece, I used a scalloped Knock Outs punch on a 2 ½” x 5 ¾” piece of white cardstock.  I added a 1 ½” x 5 ¾” strip of ice cream cones pattern paper to the center of the scalloped white cardstock and placed it off to the side.

Time to Embellish:

First, I wanted to add my card sentiment.  I used my ruler to center the “celebrate” Thicker sticker along the bottom of the card.  I added a “let’s go” Sticker along the top corner of the Thicker sticker.

To add interest to the flag sticker, I used the Magnetic Staple Board to add pink staples to the flag.

I added the scalloped ice cream cones paper strip above my card sentiment.

I decorated this card with puppy and kitty Stickers, a trimmed little girl face from the 6″ x 6″ Paper Pad, and a number “4” for the age we are celebrating.  It’s adorable!

Card #2:

Time Together Layout featuring Heart Of Home

Hi! Renee here today to share my Time Together layout, which is a letter board-inspired scrapbooking layout using the Jen Hadfield Heart Of Home collection.  With very busy work schedules, it’s so nice to take the time to do something fun as a family.  We love going to Six Flags Great America during the summer if we have the opportunity to do it.  And we did it!  We had a blast and enjoyed lots of rides and the food.  My favorite part was taking the time for a family photo.

I started my Time Together layout with some handwritten journaling.  I trimmed the Blushing pattern paper to 5 ¼” x 7 ¼” and attached it underneath my 4 ½” x 6 ½” photo with a Gold Metal Clip.

The Letterboard pattern paper is of course the perfect background for this letter board-inspired scrapbooking layout.  I added a couple of Die-Cuts alongside my photo.

I sprinkled Golden Color Mist around the layout.  I love the way all the gold accents look against the black background.

Heat embossing a curved stamp onto the wave is a fun way to add the card sentiment.

Hello Pebbles Friends!  Renee here today to share a couple of Happy Day, Happy Wishes Gatefold Birthday Cards using the Jen Hadfield Heart of Home collection.  These gatefold birthday cards have small pockets inside to add a gift card.  Even though I created these cards for the summer birthdays that are to come, these gatefold birthday cards are great to give at any season.

To create the gatefold birthday cards, I simply trimmed pink cardstock to 6″ x 12″.  I scored at the 3″ and 9″ lines and folded my cards.

To embellish the front of my gatefold birthday cards, I used circle and scalloped circle punches to add paper layers underneath my flower and butterfly die-cuts.
