These cute treats are perfect to give to your classmates or friends from work. They are fast and you can make them in bulk placing your favorite valentine’s treat inside.

To create them start by cutting some 2 x 6.25-inch strips from your favorite patterned papers and scoring it at 1 inch.

Next, use a border punch on the side and bend the paper on the scored line.

To decorate the front of my treat bag I used a small sticker wreath and a small heart. Isn’t it cute?

Halloween Party Fun

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. I love throwing Halloween parties. It’s fun to decorate the house and invite people over whether its a pumpkin carving party or a Halloween costume party. Of course, part of the fun is creating some party favors to help set the mood. Here is what I came up with using the This is Family collection that Jen Hadfield designed …

Even though this collection is not Halloween based, the colors of the pattern papers have a Fall air about them and I had no problems making them work. The kids will get a kick out of these pumpkin treat bags. I used a svg cut file from SVGcuts called Barn Party. These treat bags could be filled with candy or even popcorn. A clear acetate sheet let’s you see just what treats are inside.

I also spray painted the outside of some pint sized mason jars to look like candy corn. A trick here to prevent overspray is to wrap some scrap paper around the jar and affix with a rubber binder. I spray painted my jars with the opening face down to prevent getting any paint inside the jar.

Once the paint was dry I cut faces from black vinyl to adhere to them.

Box cards make great table decor on your buffet table. This Jack-In-The-Box black cat isn’t too scary. I have a couple of black cats that I took in as strays so it was hard to resist making this one. This svg cut file is also from SVGcuts and is called Halloween Box Cards. It does fold flat in case you wanted to mail it.

I hope this gives you some ideas if you are planning on throwing a Halloween party. This Is Family papers and embellishments are sold through American Crafts. You can also get the This Is Family collection at JoAnn Fabric Stores!

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!

Mini Christmas Treat Bags

Can you believe that Christmas is only 50 (FIFTY!!) days away?  I’m already in full Christmas-prep mode, and one of my first projects is these cute mini Christmas Treat Bags I made with the brand new “Cozy & Bright” collection!  They are so cute and easy – keep reading to see how you can whip up a batch yourself!Mini Christmas Treat Bags by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Cozy & Bright" collection by @PebblesInc.

Start by choosing a favorite treat bag cut file (THIS is the one I used) and a fun patterned paper.

After cutting the shape, score it along the fold lines:

And use a strong adhesive to secure the sides.

You can fill it up now, or wait and add the treats later.

Embellish the bag with a fun tag.  Start with the printed “Cozy & Bright” tag page and cut out your favorites:

Cut out a tag shape from a coordinating patterned paper to layer:

Next, punch a hole in the top of the tags:

And add a coordinating brad through the holes to attach them together.

You can stop here, or continue embellishing the tag with additional layers.  Of course, I usually choose to add more!  I found a coordinating printed die-cut shape (the same image as the printed tag).

I used foam adhesive squares to layer the die-cut directly over the printed snowman:

Add I couldn’t resist finding a way to add one of these darling little puffy sticker candy canes:

I attached the finished tag to the front of the gift bag to complete my project:

I repeated the process several times to make more treat bags.

Here’s one with a cute toadstool house:

A sweet reindeer:

And, of course, the big guy himself:

These little bags are so quick and easy and cute, they would be easy to make in bulk for neighbor gifts, classroom treats, or coworker surprises. I think you could whip up 25 of them and make a darling little advent/countdown ’til Christmas project too!  I’d love to see what YOU do with this fun idea for making mini Christmas treat bags !

More Home+Made Projects with Monique

Hi everyone, it’s Monique again guest designing for Pebbles!

I’m so in love with the beautiful Home + Made collection from Jen Hadfield! It almost scraps itself! For today’s blog post I decorated the “Home Art Hanger” and created a layout for it. Here’s what I did:

As I love all the sheets of patterned paper in this collection so very much I wanted to create a layout using lots of those sheets and came up with this design. It includes 8 strips of patterned paper measuring 3″x 6″.

I also added a few pieces of the beautiful decorative tape and the large “I Love Us” cut file, which I designed myself and cut out using my Silhouette Cameo. Next came the photo and the other embellishments:

A few detail photos: I used one of the 3″x 3″ Minc cards and some puffy phrase stickers. The arrow was cut with the Homemade dieset from one of the mini kraft pocket tags.

And the layout wouldn’t be complete without these cute phrase tags, which I adhered using a stapler.

The Art Hanger I painted white and decorated with some patterned paper and a gold foil letter sticker:

I love how easy to use this Art Hanger is. It contains two magnets at the back and you just clip your project in between:

Supplies:
Homemade 12×12 Paper Pad (732643)
Homemade Mini Kraft Pockets With Gold Glitter Accents (732620)
Homemade Home Phrase Tags (732639)
Homemade Decorative Tape (732626)
DIY Home Art Hanger (732945)
Homemade Minc 3×3 Card Set
Homemade Puffy Phrase Stickers
Homemade Dies Set
American Crafts Thickers Printed Foil Letter Stickers

And because I hate wasting even a tiny piece of this beautiful collection and because I had so many scraps lying on my desk, I decided to created these 2 super quick and fun gift bags:

Here’s the pile of scraps I had left after creating my other projects:

And this is what I got when I grabbed three pieces of paper and a Minc card out of this pile and stapled them together with a phrase tag:

Fun right? Together with a doily from my own stash I adhered them on top of one of the kraft glitter bags and voilà, ready to use!

And here’s the other of my “one-minute” gift bags:

In less than 5 minutes I got these two beautiful gift bags suitable for any birthday!

Supplies:
Homemade 12×12 Paper Pad (732643)
Homemade Kraft Bags with Glitter Accents (732635)
Homemade Home Phrase Tags (732639)
Homemade Minc 3×3 Card Set

Thank you so much for letting me share my projects with you! Have a fabulous day!
Monique
