Circles & Squares: Card Set

07
Nov
3 Comments

Well hello there, Pebbles friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today, and I’m excited to share my “Circles & Squares” card set with you today!  I love finding fun ways to use up scraps, or odds & ends, without the finished project actually looking like it was created from scraps!  I pulled out my circle punches (several sizes) and started punching phrases and images from some leftover “Woodland Forest” papers.  After playing around with them, I ended up placing them in little collages on these square card bases to create this fun set:

Here’s a closer look at the cards.  This one is the most simple:

I decided to add a bit more texture to the other cards, so I pulled some old embossing folders out of my stash and added some texture to the plain white cardstock.  This one has more circles!

This one has a woodgrain background, which I thought worked well with the leaves in the images I punched out:

Did you notice the enamel dots on the cards?  And I also added foam adhesive dots behind some of the circles for just a touch of added dimension:

All of these options from a few old punches:

DIY Patterned Paper Fall Banner

Hello Pebbles fans! It’s Monique on the blog today sharing a fun and easy DIY Fall project: a decorative banner to bring an Autumn feel to any room! As Autumn is my favorite season of the year I love creating projects like these to brighten up my home. For today’s project I chose the awesome Woodland Forest collection with the beautiful patterns and cute die-cuts.

Decorative Fall Banner made by @MoniqueLiedtke using the #WoodlandForest collection from @PebblesInc.

To create the six pennants I chose six different patterned papers and three different colored sheets of cardstock. The 6 pennants each measure 7.5″ x 5.5″.

Before adhering the patterned papers to the cardstock pieces I embellished and machine stitched them first. I cut the word “Fall” from the Apple Cider sheet, using the mini alphabet punch board from We R Memory Keepers:

This was so much fun and so super easy to do! The punch board comes with an instruction booklet with instructions on how to create each letter of the alphabet, plus the & and the ! and the numbers 0 – 9.

Once the letters and the embellishments were in place I assembled all the pieces of the banner and used some orange colored twine to string them together. I really love the result!

Patterned Paper Gift Bags

Hello Everyone! It is Leanne here today and I am excited to share with you a quick and easy way to create DIY gift bags using patterned paper from the Woodland Forest collection and the WeRMemoryKeepers Gift Bag punch board.

Create fun DIY #patternedpaper gift bags using @PebblesInc gorgeous new #WoodlandForestcollection with @leanne_allinson

These paper bags are so incredibly versatile, and let’s face it, we can always use a little gift bag to brighten someone’s day. And let’s not even mention all the opportunities such as birthdays or the holiday season that is about to descend upon us, where these bags will be more than appreciated!!

Patterned paper with a seasonal print just adds a little something extra to the gift giving experience, but with the bags I’m sharing today, I wanted to mix up patterned paper combinations, creating either a collar or a decorative band.

pebbles_leanne-allinson_oct-gift-bag-3

Create fun DIY #patternedpaper gift bags using @PebblesInc gorgeous new #WoodlandForestcollection with @leanne_allinson.

Each bag base has been created using a normal 12″x12″ piece of patterned paper with a coordinating piece trimmed to 2.5″x12″. Start creating by following the easy instructions on how to create your gift bag base with the punch board. To add a collar to the top of the bag, I recommend that it is added before the ribbon holes have been punched. Here is how I put mine together:

Create fun DIY #patternedpaper gift bags using @PebblesInc gorgeous new #WoodlandForestcollection with @leanne_allinson.

As shown in the photo above, the collars have been trimmed from patterned paper cut to 2.5″ wide and 12″ in length. For the red stitched floral gift bag, I left the border trim (found at the bottom of the patterned paper) attached, to create an extra detail at the top of the bag. Another option is to use a scallop border punch or similar to attract attention.

Add a score line to the top of the 2.5″x12″ paper piece at the 0.5″ mark. Score and add adhesive all along the top of the reverse side of the paper, making sure it is between the score line and top edge. Carefully add the collar to the top of your gift bag base. If your gift bag requires ribbon handles, now is the time to add the holes. Continue to follow the instructions with the gift bag punch board as your guide.

Complete your gift bag by adding cute details such as a fussy cut patterned paper flower spray of create your own tags.

I personally think it’s the details that make gift giving a little more special!

To create the gift bag above, follow the same instructions on the punch board twice, but vary the height difference. Once you have created two bags, slip the larger one inside the smaller one and secure with adhesive. Add extra details such as a patterned paper bow and decorative border band.

Quick Gift: Framed Pumpkin Project

Hello Pebbles Friends!  It’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a really quick and easy (and super cute) framed pumpkin project.  I really love sharing little seasonal gifts with my neighbors and friends.  Usually I share a treat – but every once in a while, I get a wild hair and want to create something a bit different.  I was at a local craft fair recently and noticed all of the cute framed 3-dimensional wood decor.  I don’t have a lot of fancy wood-cutting equipment and I can’t paint…but I do have a plethora of random frames and a passion for paper – so here’s what I came up with for my quick little autumn gifts:
Create a quick and easy home decor gift with a few simple steps! Framed pumpkins by @wendysue with the #WoodlandForest and #TrickOrTreat Collections by @Pebblesinc.

This project could easily be whipped up in 15 minutes or less, once the supplies are gathered and set up!  And, best of all, it’s so easy that the kids can even help!

Start by cutting a bunch of pumpkin shapes – I used my Silhouette cameo because it makes the process super quick.  You could trace and cut the shapes out by hand too.  I cut about 18 shapes out of regular cardstock.

Next, for the dimension, stack up the shapes and glue them together.  A simple glue stick works great.  The more pumpkins you cut, the more dimensional your finished project will be.  The top layer will be covered with patterned paper.  Don’t forget the stem!

Add stickers, tags, jute…whatever embellishments you’d like to make it personalized.

Now pull out a frame – you can paint, decoupage, or use it just as it is – it’s up to you!  Add a piece of patterned paper directly over the glass.  Create a quick and easy home decor gift with a few simple steps!

Simply glue your pumpkin to the patterned paper background!

Pumpkin Farm Double-Page Layout

Happy Fall, Everyone!  Renee here to share a Pumpkin Farm Double-Page Layout using the adorable Woodland Forest collection.  I love fall and one my favorite fall activities is a trip to the pumpkin farm.  So much to do and so much fun!  I had fun scrapping some photos from our trip to the pumpkin farm last fall.  I love the way this double-page layout turned out…from the BIG title to the cute embellishments.

Love the BIG title on this Pumpkin Farm Double-Page Layout by @reneezwirek using the #WoodlandForest collection by @pebblesinc

I started this double-page layout with the Pears pattern paper for my background papers.

  1. I trimmed the Stitched Floral pattern papers to 6″ x 12″ and adhered them to the bottoms of my background papers.
  2. I trimmed the Gnome Home pattern papers to 5 ¼” x 12″ and centered them onto the Stitched Floral papers.

 

Love the BIG title on this Pumpkin Farm Double-Page Layout by @reneezwirek using the #WoodlandForest collection by @pebblesinc

Now, to work on my BIG title!  I used my Alphabet Punch Board to punch out the “pumpkin” word from the Pumpkin Patch pattern paper.  I arranged my “pumpkin” word along the top of my pages.  I left enough space on the right side of it to finish off my title with the “farm” word using the Friends Thickers.

Love the BIG title on this Pumpkin Farm Double-Page Layout by @reneezwirek using the #WoodlandForest collection by @pebblesinc

I arranged and adhered six 3″ x 4″ photos along the bottom of my pages.

Favorite part…adding the embellishments to my Pumpkin Farm Double-Page Layout!
