All Occasion Cards with Lovely Moments

12

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia back today with an all occasion card idea for you using the Lovely Moments collection. This time of year I need birthday cards, sympathy cards, get well cards, graduation cards, shower cards, and wedding cards. This card design could be used for all of these occasions. Just change out the sentiment.

The folded flower on these cards has a quilted look that caught my eye. Aren’t they gorgeous! This is a card you can make with a circle punch or circle cutter.

Let me show you how you can make one too….

Step 1. Punch or cut 8 – 2″ circles and 1 – 3″ circle. You will see both sides of the scrapbook paper, so choose a paper where the two sides coordinate well together. I prefer to use a smaller floral print as well. This allows you to see the flowers after folding.

Step 2. Fold each of the 2″ circles in half, then in half again.

Step 3. Fold just the top layer of paper down. Turn over and repeat on the other side. It should look like this…

Step 4. Unfold the circles except for the last fold.

Step 5. With the folded side face down (see green circle above), take the folded sides and bring to the middle crease. It should look like this. Repeat for all 8 circles.

Step 6. Apply some glue to the middle of your 3″ circle. Start laying your folded circle pieces down leaving a slight gap between.

If you want a very flat flower, press in a book for a while. I like a little dimension though, so I left my flower as is. Add a button or a brad in the center of your flower. Now you can add to a card base along with a sentiment. Make your own card base using pattern papers or use a ready made card from the Lovely Moments card box.

I love how these turned out. They are so pretty with the Lovely Moments pattern papers. I hope you give this a try yourself.

Paper Flower Wreath with Terhi | Video Tutorial

Leave a Comment

Hey Friends!
It’s Terhi here with you sharing some very colourful spring inspiration.
I was getting ready to host a small party, just because of spring and the upcoming summer, but obviously all these social occasions are now moved to future. But nothing will stop be cheering out home with flowers and colors!
Come and take a look, there’s a video at the end of this post.

This wreath is about 16″ wide, and I love it so much! I do love making small things like mini albums, but sometimes it’s fun to go really BIG.

As you can see from the process video, all of the blooms are created in very simple way. Most of them are rolled flowers, which means I have cut them with my Silhouette and then rolled the paper and glued it down. Others are layered flowers and they are just as simple as the others.
And what’s more, you can do it all using scissors if you prefer.

After I had all the flowers prepared, I cut all the leaves too and started to think about the design on the black metal hoop.

Hot glue became me dearest friend during the creation! It’s so quick and easy way to adhere the paper blooms together! First I adhered all the flowers and then the leaves.

Here’s the process video to brighten up your day!

If you can’t see it here, here’s the link: http://youtu.be/eVg5BHxFVm0

Keep on crafting, it’s important during the times like this.

Male Layout with Terhi | Video Tutorial

Leave a Comment

Hey there Pebbles Friends!
Terhi here again with you, sharing a scrapbook layout made with the new Hey, Hello collection. There’s also a creation process video for you to watch.
First, let me tell you something about the process.

Have you ever really thought about masculine scrapbook layouts? Do you think all pages about boys or men should be blue, green, brown… All dark colors and maybe couple images about trucks, cars or sports?
I started to create “male layout”, but after a short consideration I decided on keeping my style, keeping my favorite colors and products and just let my hands free!
Scrapbooking has no rules, and the page needs to do is telling the story forward.

The starting point for the page was the photograph: My husband enjoying fishing and endless summer night. The story includes some fish, but also lots of nature, beautiful sunset but mostly happiness about feeling good.
Therefore I created a fishing net kind of a design, using eyelets and embroidery threads. Then, I added photos and embellishments on and under the threads.
Take a look to the video below.

Hope you are inspired!

Layered Flower Tutorial by Terhi

Leave a Comment

Hello everyone!
Terhi here to inspire you with a very simple and easy tutorial about layering paper flowers. I will explain it to you, and I also have a video tutorial for you to watch so you can see how it’s all done.

To be honest, I could spend a lifetime just cutting and layering paper. Unfortunately (well, actually fortunately!) that’s not possible, but I do spent a lot of time fussy cutting my favourite papers from Pebbles collections. Adding fussy cut flowers and other shapes to layouts is fun, but sometimes one flat piece of paper is not enough – and this is a problem this post answers.

Often the shapes and images you fussy cut are very detailed. And just as often our use of scissors isn’t as detailed and even as the image or shape. This could cause a problem, but what if you turn your thoughts from a problem to a free way of adding more interest to the layout?
Sounds much better to me!

To create those lovely layered flowers, which you can see in the photographs here, do this:
1. Fussy cut flowers. A lot!
2. Decide how many layers you want to have.
3. Attach two similar flowers together with a drop of glue or use thin 3D foam to avoid waiting the glue to dry.
4. Enjoy your masterpiece and use it in your next project!

The layout you see today is made with the gorgeous This is Family collection, but there are some flowers from previous lines as well.

Now take a look to the video. Here you can see how I make the flowers, and also full process of how the layout was created.

Watch the video here, if you can’t see it above:

Feel inspired? I hope you do!
Enjoy the tutorial above, and have fun creating lovely layered paper flowers!

Wreath tutorial with Pebbles Inc– cut file included!

20
Aug
Leave a Comment

While scrapbooking and cardmaking will always be at our core, we often love creating different kind of projects for our home, as well as gifts for our family and friends.

A recent project that our founder, Brenda, took on with Jen was to create a wreath for her letterboard – one that could work for a short time or stay on for a longer season.

Even though Jen’s went on her letterboard, you can customize it to go where ever you’d like it! Make it bigger or smaller – it’s up to you!

To get started, here is your supply list:

  •  Assortment of ­­12”x12” prints (one yellow, 3 different greens) from the This is Family collection
  •    12″x12″ brown chipboard sheet
  •      12″x12″ Yellow cardstock sheets*
  •      12″x12″ White cardstock sheets*
  •     12″x12″ Green cardstock sheets (2-3 coordinating shades)*
  •      Small yellow felt balls
  •     Clear rhinestones (round)
  •      SVG cut file
  •      Scoring tool
  •     Hot glue gun with glue sticks
  •      Tacky glue
  •      1 sheet of 12”x12” chipboard (for the back of the wreath)

*Number of solid cardstock sheets will vary depending
on the final size of the project.

­

Step 1: Print out this PDF or download this SVG file and add it to your computer.

Step 2: Using either file, cut out an assortment of leaves from the different green cardstock prints and solids. Score and/or fold them in half and set aside. Cut out the wreath form as well and set aside.

Step 3: Cut out the yellow flowers. Adhere them together by adding a small line of hot glue to one side. Wrap the other side of the flower into a flower shape and adhere in place. Repeat until desired amount of flowers are created. Finish by adhering a yellow felt ball to the center of each flower. Set aside.

Step 4: Cut out the white flowers and an equal number of yellow center circles. Adhere the flowers together by adding a small dab of hot glue to one side of the notched area and wrap the other side into a flower shape and adhere in place. Repeat until desired amount of flowers are created. Finish by adhering a yellow circle to the center of each flower with hot glue or tacky glue as desired. Set aside.

Step 5: Start laying out the wreath with the flowers first. Adhere them into place once desired arrangement is achieved. Add in leaves around all the flowers until wreath is covered as desired.

Try adding this to your letterboard, craft room wall or front door!

If you recreate the wreath (or something with the cut file!), will you tag us online with the #madewithpebbles hashtag or send us a picture? You can find us online at @pebblesinc or (through email) at [email protected]

One final note – here are the terms of use for the cut file. We hope to provide more resources like this in the future – let us know if there is something specific we can help you with!

Have a great day!
