Along the Way Layout & Process Video with Terhi

Oct

Hello all! Terhi Koskinen here, super excited to share my very first project with the new wonderful “Along the Way” collection. Did you see the reveal (link here), it’s amazing!

I was so excited starting to create, that instead of taking some step by step photographs, I decided to record the whole creating process to a video. Hope you like watching videos, I promise this is a short one.

For the layout I thought to do a design with vertical stripes and lots of layers – using my favorite patterned papers from the “Along the Way” line. Light pink, white and black, greens and some blue.

Remember those stripes you have left from 12″ papers? The bottom ones with all information on the front and pattern on the backside. Love them! Especially this beautiful butterfly pattern! I was almost throwing it to waste basket, but fortunately saw it and decided to keep it. Now it’s a pretty detail on my layout! Remember to use them.

To create more dimension try using foam tapes like the Sticky Thumb Adhesive Foam Dots like I did. It’s a small change from glue or double-sided tape, but definitely worth doing.

Here’s the process video, enjoy watching.

Hopefully this inspires you to create something today!

Fall Memory Keeping with Spooky Boo!

Sep

Leave a Comment

Hi Pebbles Friends!

Amanda here, & today I have a super sweet Fall themed layout to share! Created with our new Spooky Boo line, the warm tones and pretty plaids are sure to win your heart!

Here’s my layout….

“Dream Big”

Isn’t this Halloween line just perfect for Fall memory keeping?! I was totally inspired by the Falling Leaves paper, as well as the plaid patterns, and my own memories of quilting and sewing in the cooler months. I love that this fun geometric heart design has a cut file appearance, but is actually created from hand cutting!

Here’s how to recreate it….

Start by preparing the layout base. I select pattern paper Falling Leaves , and layer it with an 11″ x 11″ white cardstock background.

Next, select your Spooky Boo pattern papers, and then trim at least five 3″x 3″ squares. I chose papers Meow, Hocus Pocus, Hey Pumpkin & Falling Leaves for my layout.

Trim each 3 inch square into equal triangle quarters by cutting diagonally.

Take the triangles and arrange them into a geometric heart design. Play around with the patterns & design, and once happy glue into place.

Prepare your photograph. I use a layer of vintage book paper, and those super cute pumpkins from the Printed Cardstock Shapes pack. These pumpkins are actually Jack-o-Lanterns with spooky faces, so I strategically covered them with the sentiment and blooms. Perfect!

Adhere your photograph to the geometric heart.

Embellish around the photo with more Printed Cardstock Shapes, as well as that gorgeous Wood Sticker from the Jen Hadfield Patio Party collection. The inclusion of the wooden embellishment really adds to the warm, outdoorsy, Fall feel of the layout.

Add the layout title and subtitle, with the Patio Party Thickers. Again, the wooden appearance really emphasises the Fall look.

I even add a few of the laurel leaves from the Patio Party Thickers into my photo cluster.

So simple, and yet, oh so beauti-Fall!

In keeping with the quilted look, I also embellish with buttons and sequins from my sewing box. Cute!

I add the gold stars from the Printed Cardstock Shapes pack, as well as a few tiny butterflies which I fussy cut from the barcode trim on the bottom of the Falling Leaves pattern paper.

For final touches, I use my WeRMemoryKeepers Typewriter to add a little journaling beneath my photograph.

Voila! A lovely seasonal page that’s super easy to recreate! Love it!

I hope I have inspired you to get creating with our beautiful products!

Thanks so much for visiting,

Happy Arty Days, Amanda xo

My Bright Life makes my life really bright, as it’s pure therapy to create with it seeing all the beautiful colors, patterns, flowers… I was so happily overwhelmed by this collection, I didn’t know from where to start creating and so I decided to go with the first thing came to my mind: my dear daughter who is as colorful as the collection is!

School Lunch Notes

Aug

Leave a Comment

Hi everyone. Heather Leopard is here and with the first day of school just 3 weeks away, I’m getting a jump start on school lunch prep. No, I’m not prepping the actual meals because that would be just gross; I’m talking about school lunch notes. I don’t care how old your kids are, including a little note in their lunch kit will make their day!

I don’t care how old your kids are, including a little note in their lunch kit will make their day! Shoot, maybe I’ll make my own lunch notes. Just kidding, kind of.

I knew that I was going to use the 2″ x 3″ cards so I downloaded a Silhouette file and sized it so that the notes would perfectly fit in them. I was able to cut multiple of these at a time which sped up the process. You could also make these without a machine pretty easily. Just apply a bit of adhesive to the edges, fold over and you’ve got your pocket.

There’s also this little flap that you can fold down. You can tuck these in or out depending on your mood. I folded most of mine out like you see pictured above and look how the flowers align so well.

Next, add a simply embellishment to the front of the card. You could also add a sentiment but then again, the sentiment is in the lunch note, right?

The cards I chose were from the 6″ x 6″ paper pad, which was great because the backs were white. That’s perfect for adding a personal note to each of them. I also added a small puffy sticker or two to each note. It just needed a little pop of something.

Once the personal note is written, just insert the card in the pocket and stash them away so you have them ready to go when you pack their lunches. I think I’ll make or alter a cute little box to store these in…

So there you have it. School Lunch Notes ready to go. Super fun and super easy!

xoxo, Heather

Learn to do easy Mixed Media Cards with Terhi

Jul

Leave a Comment

Hello all! Terhi Koskinen here with my first post using My Bright Life collection and Metallic Cream Chalks from Pebbles Inc.

As much as I’m keen on mixed media, I love to keep my projects quick and easy. So even though you might sometimes see multiple layers on my projects, they are always quick and easy to do. To proof this to you, I’m playing Metallic Cream Chalks today for the first time ever, and using them to make shiny addition to My Bright Life Card Kit cards.

My Bright Life Card Kit includes everything you need to make beautiful cards: card bases, envelopes, foam dots and die cuts. So all I did was that I added some chalk through a stencil on each card I worked with, and then couple drops of white mist. Easy, right?

If you still hesitate, just take a look to a video I recorded while playing and you’ll be finally convinsed to give a small mixed media vibe to your next cards.
