Surprise boxes for party!

Leave a Comment

Hello crafty friends, it’s Lucile! Today I find you for a new article! Who has never needed to create little boxes to slip gifts? Today I show you how to make your own surprise boxes.

To make my boxes, I use the 1 2 3 punch board of We R Memory Keepers. It’s a great tool that lets you do things like boxes. You can choose the shape and size of your boxes thanks to the size guide.

To create my boxes I used Jen Hadfield’s new collection : This Is Family. I chose three assorted papers to create a harmonious whole.

The first box is the smallest, I wanted to create a scene as if the scene was happening in a lounge. I add stickers with 3D mousses. I ended up adding foliage details. We find them on the three boxes, I really like to add a similar element when there are several boxes.

For the second box, I wanted a more childlike atmosphere. I love the little bears that have found in the collection. To add a festive side, I added a hat to the bear using a 3D foam square.

For my last box, I chose a height format. The decor is more refined than the first two, I added dies cuts and a quote.
I hope that these three idea of boxes for the holidays will have pleased you, I will find you soon in a new creation.

A Midnight Haunting Pinwheel Bouquet

Hello Pebbles friends! It’s Monique with you today to share my first Midnight Haunting project! I love about this new Pebbles’ Halloween collection because it has so many Fall-related papers and embellishments! Fall is my favorite season of the year and I always look forward to it.

When I saw this new Midnight Haunting collection, I couldn’t wait to dig in and create something! Here is the first of – I’m sure – many Fall projects to come: a bouquet of “Not So Scary Pinwheels”!

Ever since the kids were small, we have had a little corner in our living room that we like to decorate according to the season. This Fall bouquet of pinwheels is now standing on our Fall-themed cabinet in the living room.

To create this bouquet of pinwheels, I selected all the Autumn papers and embellishments from the Midnight Haunting collection and the Pinwheel Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers.

I hadn’t used this particular We R punch board before and I loved how easy it was to work with! In no time at all, I punched and folded 10 pinwheels!

Look how awesome they look! For the center of the pinwheels, I used brads from my stash.

Because the collection is double-sided and the both the A and B sides are fabulous, the papers are just perfect for a project like this where you see both sides of the page.

I adhered the pinwheels to paper straws by folding the “legs” of the brad around it. I then stuck them in little glass bottles filled with soft sand (in The Netherlands we call this “bird sand”):

The glass bottles were decorated with die-cuts and stickers and a bit of twine:

Celebrate With Happy Hooray Mini Birthday Cards

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! It’s Monique here with you today sharing the many birthday cards I created with the fabulous new Happy Hooray collection.

I was thrilled when I received this collection! I’m a huge fan of bright colors and cute designs. I also love creating birthday layouts and cards.

For today’s blog post, I created 18 mini birthday cards in one afternoon. I have created a collection of mini cards before, using the beautiful Heart of Home collection and often wished I had birthday cards as well. When I saw this collection, I knew straight away what I was going to create.

All I needed to create these Happy Hooray Mini Birthday Cards was the sheet of patterned paper called “Party Time” and cardstock pieces from the American Crafts “Primaries” textured cardstock pack.

I started by cutting apart all the images and selecting eighteen of them.  Once that was done, I matted them on a piece of cardstock.

I stitched all the sides using my sewing machine before adhering them on a cardstock cardbase.

The squares measure 5 cm x 5 cm and the finished (square) cards measure approx. 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm. The rectangular images measure twice the size of the squares, so they are 5 cm x 10 cm and the finished cards measure approx. 6.5 cm x 12 cm. As the cards are so small, I decided against adding any more embellishments.

The Happy Hooray Mini Birthday Cards can be used to accent gifts or gift boxes, flowers or potted plants, but can (of course!) be used to send in an envelope by mail as well. I also plan to put the “you’re special” and “yay you” mini cards in my kids’ lunch boxes one day so they’ll find them during their lunch breaks. I’m sure they’ll love them!

When my stash of Happy Hooray Mini Birthday Cards was ready, I used the We R Memory Keepers Shadow Box Clip Frame again to showcase them.  I also added two Happy Hooray Cake Toppers for fun. Doesn’t it look festive?!

I “only” used eighteen of the images of the “Party Time” sheet, but I definitely plan on using the other nine images to create mini cards as well!

Thank you so much for stopping by our blog!  The Happy Hooray collection is SO close to being in your hands! I can’t wait for you to get your turn to create!

Heart of Home Mini Cards For Every Occasion

Hi Pebbles fans!! It’s Monique here today sharing a collection of “Heart of Home” mini cards.

When I saw the brand new collection from Jen Hadfield (“Heart of Home“), it was love at first sight! What an amazing collection this is! I adore the soft colors and the beautiful designs! When I got started on my cards, I thought I would create about 5 cards…and created 20! I just couldn’t stop playing! Creating with this collection truly made me happy. Here’s what I did:

I’ve always had a special love for small sized cards.  Whenever I see them in a store, I can’t resist buying them. They are so versatile! Not only can you send them to someone, they are also perfect to add to a present or hang from a bottle. If I won’t be home for a few days, I like to leave a little card on my kids’ or husband’s pillow with a little message inside. I created these cards with a single sheet of “Love of Home”  patterned paper and I didn’t even use all of the squares (there are 36 in total and I used 20 of them)! I also used 4 different colors of cardstock (white, kraft, pink and a light yellow).

Whenever I get started on a project, I like to see the entire collection (even though, in this case, I only used the Love of Home sheet). I used my trimmer to cut out all the squares:

The squares measure 5 cm x 5 cm and I cut two pieces of cardstock just slightly larger as a mat, both about 0.7 cm larger. The finished cards measure approx. 6.5 cm x 6.5 cm.

Before adhering the squares on the card base, I first made 20 sets as I wanted to decide on the color combinations and also add some machine stitching.

When the machine stitching was done, I glued the stitched squares on the cardstock bases and I was done!! It really took no time at all, but maybe that’s also because I had such a great time making the cards … time just flew!

Here’s one of the cards, aren’t the soft colors and pretty designs fantastic?!

When I was finished making the cards, I wanted to be able to see them rather then put them in my desk drawer with my other cards. I hung them in this We R Memory Keepers Clip Frame. I really love my collection of Heart of Home mini cards and hope you do too!

Simple Life Gift Tags

Hey there Pebbles friends and fans, Becki here to share some really fun Simple Life gift tags. The moment I laid eyes on the “Simple Life” collection, I fell in LOVE!! I grew up on a farm so the farmhouse feel reminds me of a warm and cozy home. Of course, I used lots of  supplies from the “Simple Life” collection and a couple of tools from our friends over at We R Memory Keepers.Spring Gifty Tags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #gifttags #simplelife

I started with a few scraps of patterned paper, some gorgeous patterned vellum and some stickers (clear and sentiment). I knew that I wanted to create the tags with the fun tag punch from We R Memory Keepers so I trimmed my paper into two inch strips.Spring Gifty Tags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #gifttags #simplelife

After I punched the tags, it was time to start putting the tags together and embellishing. I started by placing the clear flower vase stickers on white cardstock. I wanted the flowers to stand out against the patterned paper backgrounds. I added an additional strip of patterned paper to the back of the tag by a 3×4 piece of vellum. I used my corner chomper to round the corners on all of the layers.The finishing touch is the sentiment chalkboard sticker. I stapled them in place to add a little bit of texture to the tags. I LOVE how these tags turned out. I’m excited to have these tags on hand for sending a few spring gifts to friends and family.Spring Gifty Tags by @jbckadams for @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc #gifttags #simplelifeAll you need to do is grab your supplies to create these cute Simple Life gift tags. I can’t wait to see what you create! Thank you for stopping by the Pebbles blog. I’ll see you again soon!
