Spinner invite ft. Big Top Dreams

Mar

Hello everyone, it’s Eva on the blog today showing you how to create a fun interactive invite for your next event.

Create a Spinner invite for your next party following this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new @pebblesinc collection Big Top Dreams

The Big Top Dreams collection it is perfect to create projects for kids, the designs are playful and as soon as I saw these little monkeys I knew I wanted to use them on this spinner invite.

To create this invite, cut a 3 x 3 inch card on white cardstock and a slightly smaller piece of patterned paper.

I added the “You Are Invited” phrase on the inside using my Precission Press Advanced. This tool is perfect to create lots of cards or invites and the best part is that you achieve perfect results everytime!

Next, use two concentric circles to create a “track” on the center of your card. Tip: Use washi tape to avoid the circles to move and to maintain your inner circle centered all the time.

Flip your patterned paper and add 3d foam strips on the sides and center of your paper. Make sure the foam is not very close to you track otherwise your shape will not spin.

Cut a small space on your “track” and glue your spinning design with a circle 3d foam dot. On the back use a small coin.

Turn your invite around and glue it to your cardstock base. Finally, remove the circle and the washi tape.

Because the little monkey spins all around the invite I couldn’t add too many decorations. I only added a “Step right up” sentiment that you can find in the Sticker Book, it was the perfect touch!

Here you can see the spinner invite in action. I kept the original audio so you can hear how the monkey moves all around the card.

I am sure kids are going to love the invites! And you can personalized them with other designs or shapes! Thanks for joining me and I hope you give these invites a try!

Have a great day!

Valentine’s Layout ft. Loves Me

Feb

Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today and I am thrilled to be back for another year on this wonderful design team! Today I am sharing a Valentine’s layout using Pebbles lovely line “Loves Me”

This line has gorgeous patterned papers and I used a die cut file to showcase a few of them. I love to use my 6×6 paper pad for small projects like this because the patterns are to scale and also because I don’t like to leave an entire 12×12 paper with just a small piece cut off!

I started with this beautiful cut file from Paige Evans, the little hearts were perfect for this Valentine’s layout!

Next, I backed all the hearts with patterned paper. Make sure you place your photo first (I used some washi tape) so that you don’t work unnecessarily!

Once you have your heart ready, pick up some die cuts and letters to embellish your layout.

The glittered Thickers are beautiful and they have the perfect size for all kind of projects!

Because the background is already very busy you don’t need to add a lot of embellishments. I glued some flowers behind my picture and some banners.

And here’s the final layout! You spend some time backing the die cut but the result is truly worth it! What do you think? Do you use die cuts on your layouts?

Have a great day!

Valentine’s Wiper Card

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today sharing with you a tutorial on how to create a quick and easy Wiper card with the new Loves Me collection.

Create an easy Valentine's Wiper Card with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using @pebblesinc new line Loves Me #pebblesinc #madewithpebbles

If you want to create a simple but stunning card this is the one for you! It’s very easy and you can make them in bulk and surprise your loved ones! Plus, the collection designs are super cute so you don’t need to add much embellishments to this cards.

To create the card, start by cutting 2 – 5-inch x 3 1/4 inch pieces of cardstock. Score the cards on the long side at 1 and 1 3/4 inch.

Cut a 3/4 inch piece of cardstock or acetate and bend the tip at a 45 degree angle. (here I am using a piece of cardstock but on the final card I used acetate)

To assemble the card you will need to glue the little piece of cardstock to the 3/4 inch panel on the top of your card.

Put some adhesive on the 1 inch panel of each cardstock and then glue the two card bases making sure one fold is on the right side and one on the left side

To create the front of the card I simply cut this 12 x 12 paper. It’s perfect because it has 9 lovely 3×3 squares!

To embellish the card I put a die cut on my little piece of acetate and a piece of washi tape on the hidden pannel.

This is what the card looks like when it is closed. If you don’t want any piece of embellishment to pop simply attached it to the edge of the acetate! I couldn’t do it because my die cut was too long! I don’t mind, I think it is a way of telling the recipient that there is something hidden.

You can even leave the card on your desk because it stands of its own! How cute are those foxes? This collection is one of my favorites so far!

What do you think? Have you ever made a Wiper card?

Christmas Mini Album

Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today sharing a quick tutorial on how to create this Christmas Mini Album to record all your holiday memories

Christmas is a busy season here on the southern hemisphere, kids are finishing the school year and we have field trips, graduations, and many more events! That’s why I like to plan ahead and make a mini album to record my Christmas before the crazy season starts.

To create this Christmas Mini Album I made a 3×4 inch accordion base with white cardstock. Accordion mini albums are great because you can make them as big as you want!

Whenever I am making a mini album without the pictures I like to cut small rectangles or squares and use them to design my pages, it is so much easy this way!

The new Cozy and Bright line is filled with Christmas sayings and the die cuts are the perfect size for my 3 x 4 inch album.

I also used this patterned paper to cut 3×4 cards and used them to fill the entire page. And I didn’t forget my journaling space, during the holidays I tend to write a bit more so I left pages exclusively for journaling.

I also used the 12 x 6 sticker sheets to add small accents, you can’t see it in the pictures but the stickers have glitter on top!

Don’t be afraid to bend your die cut and use 2 pages for your design!

Another lovely embellishment is the clear stickers, these are perfect for your planner and I used them to decorate a page with patterned paper squares.

Finally, my last tip is to use the 6×6 paper pads for mini albums and cardmaking, the designs are in scale so you can see them more clearly! plus, the 6 x6 paper pad has glitter accents!

To create the cover of my mini album I used this red and white glittered paper to add some texture to my project.

I really like how quick this project was and now I am ready to print and glue pictures in the “photo” spots. Is your holiday season as busy as mine? have you ever made a Christmas mini album in advance?

thanks for joining me and have a wonderful Christmas!

Our 2018-2019 Pebbles Team – Crafting at a glance

How has this year passed SO quickly? We have loved every second with our current crafting team…so much that we want to brag about them for just a bit! Did you know that each of these women are spectacular? That they have a passion for crafting and inspiring others? They are – and they do!!

Recently, we asked them to share a picture with themselves and their favorite craft with us. We have to be honest – most (if not all!) would prefer to work behind the camera, crafting away to their favorite music and enjoying their favorite treats. However, they indulged us and send in a picture. And we want to share what they have loved making this year!

Here is Wendy. She has been on the team for a bit…because we sure enjoy her talents! She is a mom and wife and designs projects for us on the side (she has a day job too). Not only does she make awesome projects, but she’s great to work with!

Here is Terhi. She was new to our team this year and we love having her! Incase you didn’t notice, she loves creating dimensional wonders. Each of her projects have so many details, parts and pieces…and we love seeing them! Terhi is so great to work with too – we hit the jackpot with these ladies!

Here is Amanda. Amanda was also a new addition to our team this year…and we love having her with us! This girl is a wiz with cut files, dimension, technique and more. In addition to designing for us (and a few other teams), she is a wife, mother and full-time employee. Holy cow- we don’t know how these ladies do all that they do!

Here is Heather. Besides crafting up fun and fabulous projects, Heather loves to throw parties (can you tell??)! She always has so many wonderful crafts…we wish we lived near enough to her to enjoy them together! Heather has a darling family and crafts on a small group of other teams too.

Here is Eva. We can’t say enough about this girl – she is so fun to work with! She speaks a variety of languages, has a sweet family and is a wiz with paper and punchboards (Eva is also on the We R Memory Keepers team and makes fabulous projects for them too!).

Here is Leanne. She is our other Australian crafter – and we love her! (ok – lets be honest…we love all our ladies!!) She brings a straight forward, sweet, and classy style to our team – a style we’ve definitely enjoyed for over the last 2 years!

Our team will have some new faces next week. We had to take a second, though, to tell you just a few reasons why we love them before that happens. We hope you’ll join us in wishing them well whether they are still with us or not – because they are truly fantastic individuals!
