Baby Boy Explosion Box

Leave a Comment

Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing a baby boy explosion box made only with 4 elements!


There’s nothing cuter than a small DIY box to hold a gift, and even better if it is an explosion box! For this challenge, I used only 4 items: 3 patterned papers and a sticker sheet from the lovely Peek-a-boo you collection.

I love the 3×3 inch cards paper, you can use them to create cards, mini albums and more!

To create my explosion box I scored a 9 3/4 inch square paper and scored it every 3 1/2 inches. I cut the angles and bend the triangles to form 2 pockets on the inside of the box.

Next, I embellished my box with the 3×3 inch cards and some stickers. Aren’t those designs the cutest? The bear is definitely my favorite.

Inside the pockets, I added this 3×3 inch card that they can fill with the baby’s name and date of birth. You can also add pictures and a small note on the inside to make this gift even more meaningful.

I also created a slightly bigger lid and decorated it with a paper bow and a circle tag cut from one of the 3×3 inch cards.

This little box turned out super cute and the best part is I didn’t use many supplies!

Have you ever made an explosion box? This is the first one I make and it is certainly not going to be the last one!

And how about making a mini album with only 3 items? Check out the post I wrote last month to see how I recorded a family weekend in a simple and quick mini album.

Hello everyone! Eva on the blog today sharing a quick gift box perfect to thank that special person in your life.

create quick and easy gift boxes for your kid's teacher with this tutorial from @evapizarrov using the new @pebblesinc line "This Is Family"

These little boxes are made with the new and gorgeous “This is Family” collection by Jen Hadfield, the pattern are modern and feminine and the sentiments are perfect for your everyday life! I made them for my kid’s teacher but you can use them to thank any person in your life!

To create the boxes, start by cutting some 10 inch x 8 inch paper and use your Gift Bag Punch Board to create the box.

I didn’t punch the holes on the top part of the gift bag, instead, I cut another flap and used a We R Memory Keeper Punch to create a window.

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.

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.
