3 Element Mini Album

Jul

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today sharing a quick mini album using only 3 elements of the “Oh, Summertime” line.

Create a quick mini album using only 3 elements! Follow this week's tutorial by @evapizarrov featuring @pebblesinc new summer line

This was a hard challenge because I had to limit myself to only 3 elements, but I loved the final result and it was very fast and easy to scrap without having to choose between so many things!

For this mini album I chose: 1 wave patterned paper, 1 3×4 inch card paper and a package of die cuts.

I started by creating a 3×4 inch accordion mini album using the waves patterned paper. I also cut the 3×4 inch cards and added them to some of my pages. The designs are perfect for our summer vacations early this year.

I printed 3 x 4 inch and a 4 x 6-inch photos and added them to my album. Now all I needed to do was embellish! used the die cuts and some words I cut from one of the patterned papers. It was fast and easy!

For my cover, I used one of the 3 x 4-inch cards and added a strip of paper and a pineapple to close the mini-album.

The inside pages are very simple and all of them have the same recipe: one-page photo and a die-cut or 3 x 4-inch card.

The waves patterned paper is gorgeous and it was perfect to journal in white. If you like to include lots of journaling try filling a page! With this small mini-album, you cover it very quickly!

And why not try a 4×6 photo? You can embellish or journal on top of the picture for a fun and graphic effect.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you can find some ideas to scrapbook with a few supplies! You really don’t need much to create an awesome memory keeping project!

Have a great day! Eva

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today sharing a layout using only paper scraps!

I know you probably have a pile of scraps on your craft room that keeps getting bigger and bigger! now it is time to use your scraps and create a fun and easy layout in minutes!

To start, cut strips of paper from your scraps. You can make them any width you want, it really doesn’t matter

Next, cut a big shape or a letter from a piece of cardstock. I chose the letter “W” because I wanted to scrap about the relationship my son has with the water these days. Glue your strips of paper in any order you want. I used the colorful papers from the “Oh, Summertime” line and place them in random order.

Once your letter is finished place it over your cardstock and position your photo.

Now all you have to do is decorate your layout! I put this colorful strip of paper on the top with a die cut.

On the left of the letter I wrote my journaling and added the title “water”

Finally, I placed other paper scraps and die cuts behind my photo.

This layout was very fast and I only used scraps from other projects! I love how bright and fun are the patterns in this collection, it is perfect for all your summer photos!

Thanks for joining me and have a great day!

DIY memory game

Hello everyone, Eva on the blog today sharing a quick tutorial on how to make a DIY memory game using the lovely “Oh, Summertime” papers.

Create a quick and fun memory game using your kid's favorite characters and lovely papers from the Oh, Summertime line from @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc

My son is 4 and he is a Pokemon fan! He loves the characters so I thought it would be fun to create a memory game for him. We created this game together, he chose the characters and helped me assemble all the pieces. We spent a fun afternoon together and now all he wants to do is play his memory game!

To create the game we printed the characters, two of each. I did it with an electronic cutting machine and it was very fast! Next, we cut some 2-inch squares from the lovely patterned papers of the Oh, Summertime line.

We chose another patterned paper and cut lots of 2-inch squares to create the top of the memory pieces.

We glued the two papers together and then used the Corner Chomper to round all the angles.

Finally, we used my Minc to laminate all the pieces and we cut them out.

My son was SUPER happy, he loved this memory game and he wants to play with it all the time! You can create a game with any theme you want, you can also make a memory game to teach them letters or numbers! that would be super fun!

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you like this idea and can create a fun game with your kids. Have a great day!

Banner Punch Board Boxes

Hello, Pebbles’ fans! Eva on the blog today, sharing some boxes made with the Jen Hadfield Banner Punch Board and my favorite summer collection: Oh Summertime!

Create lovely boxes in minutes with the Banner Punch Board and the Oh Summertime line by @pebblesinc . pc:@evapizarrov

The Banner Punch is perfect to decorate parties and create awesome decor for your tables and walls, but did you know you can use it to create triangular boxes?

To start, cut a 4-inch wide paper strip. Place it over your Banner Punch Board on the 4-inch mark and cut the left side of the triangle. Use a scoring tool to score the right side. Next, flip the paper, move the scored line to the left and score again on the right side. Repeat these steps until you have 5 triangles. After the last one cut your paper using the blade.

Assemble your box by overlapping two triangles and close your boxes with some washi tape. I used the Oh, Summertime tapes, the colors and designs are awesome and I love that I get wide and thin washi tapes on one package.

To decorate my boxes I used some die cuts and a mini banner made with the Banner Punch Board. These boxes are perfect for a pool party or a summer birthday!

Do you like to create party favors? The Banner Punch Board is the perfect addition to your party tools. I use mine all the time! and if you think a little bit outside the box I am sure you can come up with lots of different projects using Pebbles’ wonderful supplies!

Thanks for joining me and have a great day!

Ribbon Layout

Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Pebbles’ blog! It’s Eva and today I want to share with you a layout with paper and ribbon.

For this layout I am using the squares from the “Hello Summer” paper of the Oh Summertime line and my Ribbon Stitching Tool by We R Memory Keepers. I love to use grids and for this particular layout I filled all the page with 2×2 inch squares. Easy and it gives a very cool effect!

To start the layout I cut all the colored squares from the “Hello Summer” paper

I also printed some 2 x 2 inch photos and arranged them over my page with no particular order.

Next, I used my Ribbon Stitching Tool to fill my spaces with ribbon. The tool is super easy to use and it is magnetic so you know it is not going to move while you work.

Using the plastic needle included in the tool, weave your ribbon on your space. You can put some washi tape on the back to hold the ribbon.

Finally, I filled the remaining squares with journaling and added some cute die cuts and my title on top of my ribbon squares.

You could also use paper strips for this technique, but I think ribbon gives the layout a lovely texture!

And did you notice how gorgeous those thickers are? The glitter is just the right amount and I love that now we have already made phrases on both cursive and block letters.

This layout was very easy and the 2×2 squares helped me achieve a great design in minutes! I have used these type of paper many times before to create cards, mini books and layouts! Are you a fan too?

Have a great day and thanks for joining me!
