Hi friends! It’s Wendy Sue with you again today – I know Christmas is barely over, but there are only a couple of days before we get to celebrate New Year’s! Do you do anything special to celebrate with your family or friends? We’re pretty low-key around here, but as the kids have gotten older, we like to stay up and watch the ball drop on TV. Occasionally we’ll pick up a few fireworks to set off outside. But mostly we’re pretty quiet. I thought it would be fun this year to put together a little gift for each family member for New Year’s Eve. Here’s what I came up with:

New Year's Eve Confetti Tubes and Gift Box by @wendysuea for #PebblesInc with the "Winter Wonderland" collection

The pillow boxes are quick and easy to put together with the help of this handy-dandy pillow box punch board!

I embellished the outside with a strip of paper with thickers for the year,

Inside each pillow box I’ve added a fun little tube of confetti! (which will, of course, be thrown OUTSIDE at the stroke of midnight!) It was quick and easy to make the confetti tubes to coordinate with the gift box.

This new confetti punch makes it super simple to punch a bunch of different sized circles at the same time.

In addition to the confetti, I added some glow sticks, candies, etc. to make the evening special!

After the pillow boxes were filled and ready to give, I sealed up the ends with washi tape:

Christmas Mini Album

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! I’m Eva Pizarro and today I want to show you a quick and easy mini album to record all your Christmas memories.

I love Christmas and all the little details that makes this season magical. I did this little mini album to record them and because December is always so busy I wanted to keep it simple. I started with a 12 x 12 inch white paper and covered it with some strips of washi paper. In this package you get 54 strips of paper with very few double designs, it’s a great deal!

Cover the front and back of your paper

Cut your mini album pages, I cut mine 3 x 4 inches but you can use any measure you want. It doesn’t matter if some pages have more or less washi paper, it is supposed to be random!

Use your Cinch to bind your mini album.

Embellish your front cover. I removed the washi paper strips form the cover and used a Snowflake to decorate it. On top of the snowflake I placed my alphas and the word “spirit” that I had previously cut with my electronic die cut machine and some 6 x 6 purple paper.

The inside of the mini album is really simple: I made some journaling spots with some white and blu paper and rounded the edges with my Crop a Dile.

To make the tittle pages I used my big roller stamp form the From Me To You collection.

I used one page to place my journaling and in the other one I put a picture.

I love the geometric background that you can achieve with the washi paper, and you really don’t need any more embellishments, simple and fast!

Happy Holiday’s Pebbles Fans! Holly here from Ribbons & Glue sharing with you a DIY Winter Sleigh Ornament made with the beautiful Winter Wonderland collection.

I love unique Christmas Ornaments but they can be really expensive. If you’re little creative, it’s a lot of fun to make your own unique, DIY ornaments to coordinate with your holiday decor. Plus, DIY ornaments are easy to make since most craft stores offer lots of options on creating  ornaments from glass, wood to ceramic.

To make this Winter Sleigh Ornament, I painted and glittered a natural wood sleigh gray then adhered Pebbles Winter Wonderland Chipboard shapes on to the front.

I choose to embellished the sleigh with a woodland creature theme by choosing glittered trees and a cute, festive moose.

Amy here from The Happy Scraps today. I’m so excited to share this project with you using the Winter Wonderland collection. Do you enjoy giving neighbor gifts to your friends and neighbors for Christmas? Today I’m sharing this Simple Snowball Neighbor Gift and the best part is, even if you live in a warm climate where you don’t have snow, you can still give these Snowball gifts to your friends.

Create these interactive and fun gifts for friends and neighbors using the #winterwonderland collection with the tutorial from @thehappyscraps on the @pebblesinc blog.

I used the 1-2-3 Punch Board and used the instructions to make a 4″ box out of a 12″ x 12″ paper.

I trimmed the corners off of each side of the paper because I wanted to create a box without a top.

This is what your paper should look like before it’s folded.

Fold your paper on the score lines, then use the Sticky Thumb Double Sided Tape and place on each corner like pictured below.

The Winter Wonderland Snowfun sheet of paper has so many fun saying on cards, there are several to choose from. I thought the Snow Ball Fight card was fun for these little Snowball Neighbor Gifts.

Let It Snow Double Page Layout

Hi, Renee here today to share a double page layout using the Winter Wonderland collection. In November, we had our first snowfall. I thought it would be a perfect time to take the girls outside for a Christmas card photo shoot. Oh, it was cold, but I was ready. The girls wore layers and I put hand warmers in their gloves, boots, pant pockets, and hats. We had a fun time and I took some great photos of them outside in the snow. I used my two favorite photos for my Let It Snow double page layout.

Here is the right page of my Let It Snow double page layout:

I started by printing off a 4″ x 6″ photo and a 12″ x 12″ photo. I adhered the 12″ x 12″ photo onto White Cardstock to make it more sturdy.

I used the Frosty pattern paper as a background. I adhered a few pretty Die-Cut Glitter Snowflakes to the page using adhesive dots.

I heat embossed a few lovely Snowflakes around my page.

I matted my photo using the Shiver text pattern paper. I adhered more snowflakes, a mason jar snowman, and “let it snow” card to use as my title.

At the top of my enlarged photo, I added a Washi Tape strip and the bottom strips of the Frosty and the Snow Fun pattern papers. In the snow, I added a couple of cute snowman Stickers.

I trimmed “the snow is calling and I must go” phrase from the journaling card on the Snow Fun pattern paper…

…and machine stitched it to my page. I grouped together a few circle snowflake Stickers, a Die-Cut Glitter Snowflake, and mittens with the phrase.

I stamped some journaling and the date of the photos along with some phrases.
