Hi Pebbles fans! Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you a Valentine’s Frog Card made from the adorable Be Mine collection.

Valentine’s Frog Card

Valentine’s crafts are my total favorite. This card was really simple to make using my Silhouette and the adorable embellishments found in the Be Mine collection.

Heart Card made with Silhouette and @pebblesinc Be Mine collection

To make this Valentine’s Frog Card, I used my Silhouette to cut out a Candy Heart cut file twice, attached the two pieces together along the sides to make it in to a card then adhere a heart doily on the front.

Since I chose to use the cute frog card stock shape, I attached him on to an Action Wobble on the front of the card so when the card held, a little but of wobble happens. Reminds me of a frog jumping. Cute, huh?

Hugs and Kisses Valentine’s Day Layout

Hello there!  It’s Mendi here today with a fun Valentine’s Day layout about my sweet grandparents.  They have been married for just a few years shy of 70 years so when I came across this photo of them I knew they would fit this week’s Hugs and Kisses theme perfectly (even if it was taken at Christmas time).

I thought it would be fun to layer the roses and flowers in this  collection in a little grouping on the aqua tag.  Even though the tag didn’t quite match my theme, I loved the color of it and how it contrasted with my flowers so I was able to strategically hide the picture printed on it.

Just in case the background paper wasn’t enough to reinforce my theme, I die-cut my hugs and kisses title using cut files found HERE and HERE.  I cut my words with white vinyl which is perfect for thin, delicate titles that might otherwise shred ordinary cardstock.

To give my flowers extra depth I popped up some with foam tape and cut some extra flowers from the matching patterned paper to layer in the centers.

For the perfect finishing touch to my layout I created a ribbon border using We R Memory Keeper’s Sew Ribbon tool.  I love how it adds a Wow factor to my layout!

To create a border just like mine, you will need 3 to 4 feet of ribbon (I used almost an entire AC spool with my bow which comes with 4 feet)  and the Sew Ribbon tool of your choice.

I have put together a picture tutorial to share with you how I made mine and lined things up across my page.  🙂

And here’s another look at the finished result.  I love how it has the feeling of a fancy wedding dress which is perfect for a layout all about love!

Valentine’s Day Treats for Kids

Children's Classroom Valentine's Day Cards & Treats by Mendi Yoshikawa using the #WeGoTogether collection from @PebblesInc. @SnippetsByMendi

Hello there!  It’s Mendi here today popping in with some sweet little Valentine’s Treats perfect for your child to exchange with classmates.  As soon as I saw the sheet of 12 little Valentines I knew I wanted to find a fun project to use them on!  I was looking for a project that would be easy to mass produce for a class of 24 children and could include some candy.  What’s Valentine’s day without candy, right?

I decide on these sweet little sleeves filled with Sweethearts candy.  Best of all I was able to get a 2 lb. bag making this a really affordable project to hand out.  🙂

Children's Classroom Valentine's Day Cards & Treats by Mendi Yoshikawa using the #WeGoTogether collection from @PebblesInc. @SnippetsByMendi

Step 1:  To create these, start by cutting your 12×12 paper into 4-inch strips. (you can get 3 treat bags from each piece of paper so including the sheets of cutout, I used 10 sheets of paper to make 24 valentines).

Step 2:  Score your paper at 5″, 5.5″, 6″ and 11″.  This will form the accordion fold at the bottom of your treat bag and the flap at the top.  If you have a print that has a definite top and bottom, make sure to have the top of the print face the zero score line so that the patterned paper design will be upright when folded.

Step 3:  Fold the treat sleeve along the score lines and add the 3×4 inch valentine to the front.

Step 4:  Adhere a line of scor-tape just below the fold line of the top flap.    Fill a small 4×6 clear bag with candies and fold over bag and adhere to tape.  I calculated the 2 lb. bag gives each kid 25 to 30 candies for a 24-student classroom.

Step 5:  Using a ruler, find the center of the bag and punch two holes in the top flap, punching through all the layers.

Step 6:  String the holes with twine and tie a bow.  A little trick I figured out to make the process quicker was to thread a fat needle with a long piece of twine so that I could easily thread the holes without my twine unraveling.  This allowed me to tie 4 or 5 bows quickly before repeating the process.

There you have it!  Easy and really fun to make!  I decided to finish off mine by adding a little die-cut border to my flap for an extra detail, but they are cute either way.

Valentine’s Day Layout

It’s the day before Valentine’s and we just have to squeeze in a few more fun layouts! This morning we’re bringing you a great Valentine’s Day layout from Designer Emily Spahn.

Valentine's Day

This Valentine’s Day layout features photos from last year’s Valentine’s Day. My kids were dressed in red and totally adorable. I love going back and seeing how much they have changed in a year! They both look like babies to me!!  I used the Yours Truly line and mixed in a few elements from the new CHA releases on this simple layout.

Funny Valentine Layout

I love the cute chipboard Chips in the Yours Truly line. There is such a great mix of flowers, hearts, and my favorites – the birds!  I used 3-D foam adhesive to raise the little bird off the page.  I also included some black mist splotches to help incorporate more black into the layout to coordinate with the “I love you” sticker.

Funny Valentine Layout

Funny Valentine Layout

I used my die cutting machine to cut the “Funny” portion of the title. Because I’m not a huge embellisher, I often try to make my titles visually interesting. I love mixing and matching stickers, Thickers, and cut titles on a page.  These Thickers are from the Special Delivery – Boy collection, but they work perfectly here, too!
