3 Item Project Challenge

Leave a Comment

Well, hello Pebbles friends! Guess what? I was issued a challenge to create a project using only 3 items…and it was so much fun! I recently received the “Big Top Dreams” collection and I knew it would be perfect to make little party favors for an upcoming movie night the kids are hosting! Here’s the project I created – keep reading for more details about the three products I chose and how I used them!

Here are the three products I chose for each treat bag: Patterned Paper, 3×4 Cards, Printed Die-Cuts.

I used my Silhouette to cut the bag shapes (design ID 45731), but you can use any fun bag cut file or even find a tutorial online for folding your own.

After cutting and assembling the bag, I cut out the 3×4 cards. I did choose to matte each card with coordinating cardstock scraps (I didn’t count these scraps as part of my 3 products).

After attaching the 3×4 cards to the fronts of the bags, I used foam adhesive dots to attach a fun printed die-cut shape to each bag front.

Because I limited the products and didn’t go crazy with embellishing, these bags were super quick and easy to put together! I have about 12 more to create, and I’m sure it won’t take more than 30 minutes after the bags are cut!

That’s all there is to it! I filled each bag with popcorn and tied them closed with some string – easy peasy – and they will be super cut sitting out, all lined up, for the movie party! Any guesses which movie we’ll be watching??

Sunshine Card Set with Video Tutorial

Hello all! Terhi here, hoping you all are having sunshine in your day today! I’m sharing some sunshine for you with my card set I made using ‘Oh Summertime!’ collection. To show you how I created these, I recorded a process video – see it in the end of this post.

To be more specific of what these cards are, I’d describe them as a treat bag tags mixed with cards. I got the idea to make the set of cards/tags when I was starting to plan some kind of gift to our children teachers this spring. Something handmade for sure, but also fun and colourful!

The treat bags I used, Homemade with Love Treat Bag Kit – Day Dream, are perfect to go with Oh Summertime! collection. They can be filled with any sweets of course, but also with anything else. How about some seeds to plant and grow beautiful flowers? Don’t let your imagination stop you.

As you can see, I didn’t add any large sentiments. Instead, I let the big circle shaped element speak loudly, wishing warm and sunny days, and thought to write my greetings to the back side.

To add more depth and interest to the cards I layered paper, paper and glitter die cut ephemera and fussy cut elements together. The result is fun-looking and very detailed!

This kind of project is super quick to do, and also quite simple. No need for tools in addition to scissors!

Take a look to the video here. If you can’t see the video, follow this link: Sunshine Card Set for Pebbles.

 

Thank you so much for taking time to visit here! See you soon again!

Halloween Treat Pocket Tags

As far as I’m concerned, one can never have too many treats ready to share for Halloween, which is why I’m sharing another quick and easy project today – Halloween Treat Pocket Tags! What, you’ve never heard of a pocket tag?  Well, let me show you!!

Halloween Pocket Treat Tags by Wendy Sue Anderson by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Spooky Boo!" Collection by @PebblesInc.

It’s literally an oversized tag, folded into a pocket, and filled with treats!  They are so fun and easy to make – and even though it looks like I used three different patterned papers for each pocket tag, it’s only ONE paper!  Let me show you how I made them!

First, I cut an over-sized tag from patterned papers (aren’t these Spooky Boo! papers so much fun?).  These are about 4″ wide and 11″ tall.  You can cut them by hand, with a die, or even a digital cutting machine.  As you can see, I chose papers that had a fun “tear away” strip – one that could be used upside down and still look okay. Here’s the back and front of one tag:

The next step is to fold up the bottom.  See how that makes it look like three different papers?  I love how the front, back, and tear-away strip all coordinate and work perfectly together for these tags :

Next, I used my sewing machine to stitch around the folded portion to create a pocket.  Don’t worry if you’re not ready to pull out your sewing machine – you can just glue the sides together with strong adhesive if you want!

Now that the pocket portion is complete, it’s time to embellish!! I chose to use various printed die cuts, stickers, 3×4 cards, and ribbon!  Of course you can embellish as much or as little as you like!

I started by tying ribbon through the top of the tag. Next, I placed the 3×4 card (slightly trimmed) over the pocket portion.  Next, I added the cute witch die-cut.  Finally, I used foam adhesive squares to add the “boo” printed die-cut.

Now it’s time to fill ‘er up!  Since I’m making some of these for my co-workers I opted for some flavored water packets…but of course, I had to embellish them a little bit with these cute puffy stickers! See how perfectly they can be tucked into the treat pocket – with a cute paper straw just for fun, of course!

If you prefer to give a delicious chocolate treat, that’s an option too!!

These treat pockets are so quick and easy, it would be easy to whip up a batch for your co-workers, neighbors, students, or even for your kids’ entire class!  Seriously, they are that easy!

Hello Pebbles’ fans, this is Eva Pizarro bringing you a tutorial on how to make these cute little Pumpkin Treat Bags using Midnight Haunting and We R’s Globe Punch

Create Pumpkin Treat Bags and surprise your guests with this tutorial form @evapizarrov and @pebblesinc new collection Midnight Haunting #pebblesinc #madewithpebbles

These little pumpkins are very easy to make and because this line has both Halloween and Fall patterns they are perfect as treat bags and also as place cards for your next Thanksgiving party.

To make the pumpkins use your Globe Punch cut your favorite Midnight Haunting patterned papers.

Create the globe by interlocking the hooks behind each other.

Once your globe is complete squeeze it a bit to create the pumpkin shape.

Next, use a circle punch and this lovely paper from the Happy Hooray collection to create little leaves for your Pumpkin Treat Bags.

To finish embellishing your pumpkins create tags with die cuts or chipboard shapes and hemp twine.

Finish your project by attaching your sentiment to the pumpkin with a hot glue gun. I love my cordless Sticky Thumb one!

To fill your Pumpkin Treat Bags squeeze them gently and fill them with big candies, if you want yo use small candies my advice is to wrap them in a small piece of silk paper and place them inside before closing the globe.

Another fun idea is to use a light strand and turn them into small light garland! Wouldn’t that be fun?

Spring Treat Bags

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here to share with you some cute little spring treat bags that I created with the Tealightful collection. I’m still awaiting the arrival of Spring in Idaho. It’s getting a little warmer but there is still a little bit of snow. Playing with this cute fun springy Tealightful collection made it feel like Spring was a little closer. These bags are SO easy and fun to make!Spring Treat Bags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithPebbles #pebblesinc #springDIYI started by cutting the base of the bags out of patterned paper using my electronic die cutting machine. I only used 3 pieces of patterned paper to create 3 treat bags. Spring Treat Bags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithPebbles #pebblesinc #springDIYAfter cutting the base of the bags and before I folded them and adhered them together I grabbed LOTS of embellishments from the Tealightful collection. I’ve found that adding embellishments is a lot easier if I adhere them before assembling the bag. Spring Treat Bags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithPebbles #pebblesinc #springDIYAfter adding embellishments to the front of the bags, I assembled them and tied them closed with a little bit of ribbon.  Aren’t they so cute?!?! I love how they turned out and how easy they came together! Spring Treat Bags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithPebbles #pebblesinc #springDIYThe pink bag is perfect for a Spring gift with the “hello spring” sentiment and the bee stickers. Spring Treat Bags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithPebbles #pebblesinc #springDIYHere’s another bag that’s perfect for Spring but more specifically, April and May. I was thrilled to find ribbon that coordinated with the cut little bird. I added a little bit of washi tape at the bottom of this bag just to add a little bit of pink to match the flowers.Spring Treat Bags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithPebbles #pebblesinc #springDIYLast but not least, the “here’s to new adventures” bag is not only perfect for Spring but it can be used for any occasion. I think this would be perfect for a graduation gift as well.

Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog. I hope these cute treat bags inspire you to make your own set of Spring treat bags.
