Monochromatic Card Set

Hello Pebbles friends!! It’s Wendy Sue back today, sharing a quick and easy card set featuring a monochromatic theme! It’s been a long time since I’ve attempted a monochromatic project, and I’d forgotten how much fun it is! There were many colors I could have chosen – so many gorgeous options from so many awesome Pebbles collections – but ultimately, I settled on the beautiful pink/coral color from the “This is Family” collection.

I loved flipping through the gorgeous paper stack, choosing matching colors and mixing fun patterns. Then, digging through my big glass jar filled with buttons, I was able to find the perfect accents for my card set. It was fun and easy, and after I chose the supplies, the cards came together so easily! Here’s what you’ll need for each card:

And here’s the easy process of assembling all the pieces:
Start with the blank card base, add the largest blog of patterned paper, then place the diagonally cut piece on top, lining up the edges.

Just Me And You

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. With Valentines Day coming up, we are turning our focus on L O V E . I decided to use the gorgeous Lovely Moments collection to scrap a layout of my nephew and girlfriend. I love the soft pinks combined with the kraft cardstock. It’s the perfect choice for documenting the loves of your life.

I used a double heart cut file from the Handipaper Etsy store. I backed one of the hearts with the pink and white striped pattern paper and backed the other heart with my photo. I used the heart to frame my title Just Me and You.  

The copper foil puffy sticker phrase is from the This is Family collection. These Thickers work great with this collection as well as the copper foil matches some of the die cut ephemera pieces.

And of course there are gorgeous floral die cut ephemera pieces. Here again you will see some beautiful copper foil pieces.

This is such a gorgeous collection! How many of you need this on your scrapbook table right now? It’s perfect for all the lovely moments of your life.

Fun Times with Terhi

Hi everyone, it’s Terhi here again!
When you start creating a scrapbook page, which is leading you: the photograph or the products?

For me this answer is simple.
The photographs and the memories. And I must admit sometimes I can’t stop myself from saving a precious photo as long as I find the right supplies for it.
However, this time the process of creating started started very differently, when I saw the most inspiring cut file ever.
*The cut file is from Paige Evans

The beautiful circle design kind of funny one and as I love backing cut files I thought it would be wonderful to use the cut file as a colour wheel, with the brightest colors I could find. So I did and I found, all thanks to Pebbles.
I used patterned papers from “Happy Cake Day” line and created four coloured colour wheel for the background of the page.
I had four selfies waiting for the perfect products to scrapbook with, and I love the way black and white photos goes with colourful design.
Also, these selfies aren’t very seriously taken and the story behind tells about how much we all laugh together, so all the colors and design supports the theme.

Once I was ready with the background, I dived in to my scraps and found lots of colourful blooms to decorate the page. All from Pebbles of course, from the lines below:
Big Top Dreams
Chasing Adventures
This is Family
Heart of Home
I cut out as much flowers and blooms as possible and layered the flowers to make them more dimensional. To create the flowers I followed my own tutorial from last fall, please watch it here from my YouTube channel.

To finish this colourful and fun layout I added the photographs vertically in the middle and wrote a small title with thickers from Big Top Dreams.

Inspiring? Hope so! Let me know what you think by writing a comment below. I’ll be here reading them while I’m waiting to see the new lines from Pebbles arrive at my house.

Family Tradition Layout

One of my resolutions for this bright new year is to document some of the photos and memories that have been stacking up on my bookcase. The “This is Family” collection was a perfect match for documenting a photo taken a few years ago at my husband’s annual winter family party!

This collection has a huge array of colors and patterns, but I wanted to keep it simple, so I chose black and white with pops of yellow and orange from the papers and embellishments.

There is obviously a variety of “family” themed pieces in this collection so it worked great for my needs.

You’ll also spy a bit of machine stitching around the edges of the patterned papers – I just can’t help myself! It’s a fun way to add a bit of unexpected texture as well as a pop of color to a project.

Give the Gift of Kind Words

Hi friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a project filled with kindness! My assignment was to create a project based on “giving” or “receiving” and I chose giving, of course! My favorite thing to GIVE is a kind word or a bit of encouragement. Whenever I can use paper and glue to make those words into a little gift, I call it a double win!

Thankful cards by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "This is Family" Collection by @PebbleInc.

I used the “This is Family” collection to create this set of cards. I knew I wanted to make a bunch, so I kept the design pretty simple. I started by cutting several different papers into 3 3/4″ squares. Next, I cut half of those squares in half diagonally. I used my sewing machine to stitch each half square onto a full square, right up the middle.

Then I cut apart all of the 3″ squares on the cut-apart sheet in the collection. I placed one square in the center of each stitched piece.

Finally, I attached each piece to a 4″ square card cut from white cardstock. I also added a sticker or die cut to some of the card fronts.

My plan is to write notes to some of the special people in my life, telling them WHY I think they are special, why I am thankful for them, and what makes them so great! I hope they appreciate hearing a kind word as much as I know I would! I plan to share a card or two each day from now until Thanksgiving. 🙂

What gifts do YOU like to give? Kind and encouraging words are always a good choice!
