Christmas Layout

Nov

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today showing you a Christmas layout made with the new Merry Little Christmas line.

Create a fun and easy Christmas Layout with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new Merry Little Christmas line from @pebblesinc

This layout is easy, fun and best of all you need only a few supplies to create this lovely Christmas wreath.

I started by selecting one of the Merry Little Christmas papers from the 12 x 12 paper pad. I wanted the cut file garland to stand up from the background, so I chose this gorgeous green snowflake paper.

Next, I cut a white cardstock circle and put it on the back of my wreath. I curled the leaves a little bit and glued the wreath with some 3d dots.

I opened the ephemera packages and selected a few that worked with the design. The die cuts have a white border so they are a perfect match to the white wreath!

Finally, I added the title with these lovely gold thickers and my journaling.

I also used some 3d dots on a few ephemera pieces, it gives great dimension to the layout.

This was a one photo layout, but you could include a strip of pictures or a mini accordion to help you scrap all those favorite photos from the Christmas season.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope that you give this easy layout a try, have a wonderful week and happy Thanksgiving.

Rolled paper wreaths

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today, showing you how to create some easy and fun wreaths to decorate your house or your presents this year.

I am using the Merry Little Christmas line and its colors are perfect, classic but with cute patterns and a touch of blue that creates a modern combination!

To create my little wreaths, I started but cutting little strips of paper. Mine were 3/8 inch wide and used mainly papers from the 12×12 paper pad.

I rolled my strips with quilling tools from We R Memory Keepers. You can use a manual tool or a powered USB tool. Both are great! Kids can help too because it is easy and fun!

Don’t roll the paper strips too tight, otherwise, you are not going to be able to insert the wire!

To create the wreath I used some Happy Jig wire and a glass as my guide. On each wreath, I put 18 rolled papers and my decorations were 3 inches wide.

You can leave them like this but I decided to include a sentiment on the inside. Again, I used my Happy Jig wire and created the word with some pliers and my hands, the wire bends easily!

I also made one with my son’s name, how cool is that?

The final touch was a small tag that I cut from one of the patterned papers. I love to have ready-made tags, It makes everything easier!

How cute are these small wreaths?

You can use them as tree decorations, to give as gifts, as place holders, so many possibilities!

I hope that you liked this idea and that you give it a try! It is the perfect craft to make with your kids and some leftover paper!

Thanks for joining me today and have a great day!

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog sharing a quick tutorial on how to create a Grateful Jar for this season using the lovely “This Is Family” line.

Creating a Grateful Jar it is easy with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the "This is Family" line from @pebblesinc #madewithpebbles #pebblesinc

One of the most important things that I try to teach my son is that he has to be grateful for all the wonderful things he has in life, all the opportunities and never take anything for granted! Even though we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Chile, I believe it is a great opportunity to pond on all the things we are grateful for.

To create this simple Grateful Jar start by washing a big glass jar and decorate it with some stickers. I really like this small sticker sheets because they are transparent and let you see trough! Perfect for this kind of project!

I used some ephemera to decorate the lid of my jar and these beautiful cooper phrases to put the title.

The last step to decorate my jar was to hang some decorations. I used ephemera, tags, and even a cute flower clip!

Finally, I created a small box with my 1,2,3 Punch Board to hold little pieces of paper. I love the happy fall colors of the “This Is Family” line!

I created a small station at my house with everything you need to write the small notes, that way, you can use it anytime you want and don’t have any excuses!

I think it will be very helpful to read all the things we are grateful for after these Holidays! I hope you have a fabulous Thanksgiving season and thank you for visiting the blog!

Hello everyone! It’s Ev a on the blog today, sharing some quick Halloween boxes made with the “This Is Family” papers.

Create some spooky Monster Treat Boxes using the "This is Family" collection by @pebblesinc. p.c: @evapizarrov

I love to create Halloween treat boxes, I think they are a great handmade gift for someone special! These boxes are very simple and the best part is that you don’t need any special Halloween supplies to create them!

To create these flip top boxes, start by cutting a 9 2/8 x 6 7/8 inch patterned paper. Score it on the long side at 1/2 inch, 3 5/8 inch, 4 7/8 inch and 8 inches. Next, rotate the paper and score on the short side at 1 1/4 inch, 4 3/8 inch and 5 5/8 inches.

Score all the lines and cut the two left section of your box. Cut the lines you see on yellow and score the ones you see on orange.

Assemble your box by gluing the lids. You can use some sharp scissors to cut a triangle on the side of the lid.

Decorate the boxes with black and white cardstock and some monster eyes! The boxes are ready to be filled with your favorite treat!

I added some teeth, eyebrows, horns, spots and even some hair made with a tassel! Kids could help you decorate the boxes, I am sure they can come up with some spooky monsters!

Aren’t these boxes fun? Who says you can’t use a regular collection for Halloween?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Speech Bubble Layout

Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing a layout about my little boy using the fun speech bubble stamp from the “This Is Family” collection.

Use your stamps to create a fun and easy layout with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the This is Family line from @pebblesinc

I know that adding journaling sometimes can be a little hard, especially when you have everyday pictures! Most of the time, I journal about the personality of the members of our family, the things they like, their top 5, etc. Sometimes it is not about the events but about the feelings.

The fun speech bubble stamp from the “This Is Family” line was perfect to capture some of the favorite quotes from my little boy. I know I will cherish this when he is older.

I started by stamping the speech bubble stamp on white cardstock using several colors.

Next, I placed those journaling spots all around my big photo and added stickers and die cuts. The designs are perfect for family and everyday layouts!

The final step was adding my title. I left an empty spot on the left and added these beautiful copper letters.

Time to write the journaling and the layout is complete!

The alpha paper underneath the picture was perfect! On top of my picture, I added a few more speech bubbles with sentiments. They bring a little color and coordinate perfectly with my theme.
