How To Tuesday

Jul

“I’ve found that the world of scrapbooking is full of super kind people who like to send you goodies randomly, do giveaways on their blogs, and other such things. I like to send a little something back in return and I always think that something handmade is always a nice gesture to send to somebody. Using some Sunnyside goodies and Candy Dots, I’ve come up with a fun ‘thank you’ gift in the form of a set of handmade embellishments that are super simple to make.” – Steph Baxter, Pebbles Design Team Member

To begin, punch some circles of patterned paper from your favourite Pebbles papers (I used the Sunnyside 6×6 pad – it’s so useful for projects like this!).

Mark the centre of each circle with a pencil.

Cut each circle into a starburst shape by snipping pieces of it away. You will need to cut just before the centre of the circle, so this is where those pencil marks come in handy.

Add a Candy Dot to the centre of each cut shape.

Adhere the embellishments to a piece of cardstock using a light, removable adhesive.

Add a ‘thank you’ Masking Tape Sticker and Clothes Pin from the Sunnyside collection.

Mix & Match Monday

It’s Monday again, which means we’ll be mixing and matching some Pebbles products to show you just how well our collections can be used with one another.

“For this week’s Mix and Match challenge I decided to combine 2 of my favorite Pebbles Collection, Sunnysde and Hip Hip Hooray. I thought these lines complemented each other very well, I therefore used the patterned paper from the Sunnyside collection with the embellishments from the Hip Hip Hooray collection. This resulted in some fun and bright greeting cards. I hope these will inspire you to combine various Pebbles collections.” – Mel Blackburn, Pebbles Design Team Member

“It’s great to get the bright colours of the Sunnyside collection in a 6×6 paper pad. The patterns are printed smaller which is perfect for creating cards. There’s also a page of sentiments that are just the right size. I didn’t need much other than the paper pad and my favourite dies to pull together 3 cards.” – Sarah Webb, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love the 6×6 paper pads because they are perfect for small projects and cardmaking! You can see the entire pattern in a little pice of paper and the best part is that you don’t have to cut an entire 12×12 sheet to take a small piece of paper. For this project I embellished some white paper bags, filled them with candies and gave them to some friends.” Eva Pizarro, Pebbles Design Team Member

“You can never have too many thank you cards on hand. And the Sunnyside line is perfect for making some bright & cheerful ones! To make these cards I used the Sunnyside 6×6 paper pad for the background patterned papers. I love the smaller patterns for my cards! Then I cut the sentiments out of the cute “From Me to You” sheet. You can get a lot of sentiments for cards using that one sheet of patterned paper! On the “Thanks a bunch” card I added a couple dimensional flowers to embellish it. Then on the “Thank you” card, I cut flowers out of the “Blossoms” sheet to embellish around it. Easy!” – Gretchen McElveen, Pebbles Design Team Member

“For my cards I used the cheery Sunnyside collection. I think the stitched butterfly stickers are beyond cute and chose to use them as the focal points for my cards. For the “thank you” card I made the background from scrap paper strips, which is a such a fun way to use those scraps up.” – Laura Craigie, Pebbles Design Team Member

“I love making little card sets for gifts; they are practical and really fun to create. I used the same basic outline for all three of my cards so they came together really quickly. By adding envelopes and tucking everything into a little kraft bag I have a darling gift ready to go.” – Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member

“My inspiration for these greeting cards started with the Gift Tags from the With Love collection. By simply adding a couple of embellishments and a greeting, they have become the focus of my cards. This is a quick project to create, great for those occasions when you need to do a card on the go.” – Mel Blackburn, Pebbles Design Team Member
