Hi, Renee here! Hippity Hoppity Easter’s on its way…and very soon. Today I’m sharing a tutorial using items from the Cottage Living, Happy Day, Home Grown, and Special Delivery collections to create some sweet treat bags. I made these Easter Treat Bags for my nieces and nephews. Aren’t they adorable? I love how they turned out.

Candy (of course!)

I started with an Easter Bunny to decorate my treat bags. If you don’t have a Silhouette machine like me, no problem! I found this adorable Easter bunny printable on Pinterest and downloaded it for free.

I opened it in Word. I changed the Page Layout to 4″ x 6″ and re-sized the bunny to 3″ x 4.5″.

Under the Artistic Effect tab, I clicked on “Glass” for an outline of the bunny.

Now, it’s ready to Print. You could always print out the bunny directly onto your favorite pattern papers.

I chose to print out my bunny on a 4″ x 6″ white card, cut it out, and used it as my template. My actual cut bunny template measures 2 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ (remember that there will be space around the bunny as you size it in Word).

Place, Trace, and Cut! So easy and fun just like Kindergarten. 😉 I added white pom-poms for my bunny tails. They look adorable!

Now, to work on my treat bags. I filled the Glassine Bags with candy first. How pretty are these pastel blue and pink printed bags?! They are just perfect Easter colors for my nieces and nephews.

Then, I trimmed the Home Grown Foliage pattern papers to 4″ x 12″ and added a decorative scallop edge to one side. I chose this pattern paper so that my bunnies have a nice grassy spot to sit in. 🙂 Next, I cut that strip to 4″ x 5.25″ (which would be 12 scallops for each bag). Then, I scored them, folded them in half, and stapled them to each treat bag.

They look awesome! Now, to decorate the toppers of these Easter Treat Bags.

I added the Easter Bunnies to each bag topper first. I added Dimensional Dots to the backs of the bunnies making sure to place them in the same spots so that the heights of the bunnies will be the same on each bag.

Then, I added flowers and leaves and bees or butterfly stickers to each bag topper.

My nieces have cute little bees dancing around their flowers.

All of the Easter Treat Bags are done! Aren’t they fun? They look so cute! I kept the design sweet and simple for the kids. They are going to love the pom-pom bunny tails and the yummy candy treats inside. I really enjoyed making these.

Hello Pebbles fans!  Amanda here today with another fun and easy upcycled gift jar project.

The perfect little gift jar for all the sweet expecting mothers in your life made by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc darling collection #SpecialDelivery.

As I was looking through my collection of empty food containers the other day, I saw a pair of spaghetti sauce jars that looked like they would make lovely gift containers. Inspired by the soft and delicate prints in Pebbles’ Special Delivery collections, I thought I would make some gift container for an expecting mama.

The perfect little gift jar for all the sweet expecting mothers in your life made by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc darling collection #SpecialDelivery.

I started by spray painting the lids white.  The paint finish is pretty durable as I have put the lids on and removed them several times.  Next, I cut a strip of patterned paper and wrapped it around the jar, securing it in the back with glue dots.

I used my Bow-Easy bow maker to make the double bow at the top of each jar.  It is easy to use and it makes it really easy to get the right sides of the ribbon on the front of the bow.

Using a Prego spaghetti sauce label as my inspiration, I designed a sentiment and printed it on patterned paper.  I matted the sentiment with paper and adhered it to the jar.  I trimmed an It’s a Girl sticker and affixed it to the jar.

I used the same sentiment for both gift jars.  Click on the Freebies tab on my blog to download this sentiment for free.
Happy repurposing!

Set sail with Holly Gagnon today as she shares her precious sailboat centerpiece with us. It’s perfect for nursery decor, party pieces, or anything else you can dream up. And the best thing about the Special Delivery collection she used to create it is its versatility – use it for boy or girl decorations!

Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you today a Nautical Centerpiece inspired by the Pebbles Special Delivery- Boy collection.

It’s been a while since I’ve created anything for a Baby Boy and since my design team assignment was Project of Choice, I thought I’d use a Pebbles collection that I typically wouldn’t use.

Everything is much more fun when it’s mini! Design Team Member Samantha Taylor is mixing and matching different goodies from all across the Pebbles board to make this darling mini album.

Some of my very favorite things to create are mini albums.  Usually I grab a single collection, and stick to that when making an album.  However, for my project today, I grabbed leftover bits and pieces from lots of different Pebbles collections. It was a lot of fun, and turned out pretty cute. Here’s my mix and match Hooray Mini Album:

Mini size is fun size! Especially when it comes to this precious mini album made by @samanthajt using a variety of #PebblesInc lines. #minialbum #specialdelivery #gardenparty #birthdaywishes
I love Pebbles journaling cards, so I used one to create the cover of my album.  “Hooray!” was already printed on the paper, and I used my computer printer to add “Let’s go exploring” underneath.

Mini size is fun size! Especially when it comes to this precious mini album made by @samanthajt using a variety of #PebblesInc lines. #minialbum #specialdelivery #gardenparty #birthdaywishes
Pebbles Birthday Wishes washi tape goes from birthday theme to generic themed if you rip off just the “happy” part.

My absolute favorite page is this one.  I kept it simple with photos and rub-ons, but it needed something extra.  I added an extra page in the middle by sewing together 2 photo overlays with sequins inside.  I don’t know why, but that sequin page make me so happy!

Mini size is fun size! Especially when it comes to this precious mini album made by @samanthajt using a variety of #PebblesInc lines. #minialbum #specialdelivery #gardenparty #birthdaywishes
I kept all of my pages clean, simple, and flat.  I knew I was going to bind this album only with a bit of twine, so I knew that keeping the embellishments flat would be important.

Mini size is fun size! Especially when it comes to this precious mini album made by @samanthajt using a variety of #PebblesInc lines. #minialbum #specialdelivery #gardenparty #birthdaywishes
This photo deserved a bit of extra attention, so I used a journaling card to do just that.  I took this photo from the top of the lookout tower with my husband and sons standing in its shadow.  I love that you can see the whole shape of the tower in the shadow!

Just a simple tag with some washi tape and the date of our adventure completes the back of the book. Just a simple mix and match mini album!

Baby Shower Gift

We’re closing out our week featuring mini envelope projects. We’ve had lots of fun sharing them with you and hope you’ve found some inspiration. For our final feature, Designer Laurel Seabrook is showcasing a fun baby shower gift that she created using mini envelopes.

Mini Envelopes

Hi everyone, Laurel here.  I have a fun baby shower gift that I created for my daughter who is expecting a baby girl in September.  A few years ago I created a similar project for husband for our anniversary (a prepaid date per month) and my daughter really loved it.  She is not going to have a lot of extra cash so I thought she would be able to use anything to help her out.

I had this wooden box in my stash, picked it up at a garage sale.

I used some pattern paper from Garden Party to cover the box, then finished off the seams with some Washi Tape.  As a final touch I added a journal card and sticker to the front.

Inside are 12 mini envelopes.  One for each month, starting with September.  I will insert some gift cards (Wal-Mart, Drug Store, Grocery Store, Tim Horton’s etc.) inside each little envelope so that she will be able to either treat herself now and then, or purchase some much needed supplies.
