christmas card set | pebbles inc.

I forgot to share these quick and easy Christmas cards that I created for the Pebbles Inc. blog last month!  Oops!  The good thing about it, is that you can always copy the concept with different papers that are appropriate for the season or even you are creating for! 

 

 I whipped up this cute little set in a matter of minutes.  With the tiniest bit of preparation, you can too!  Keep reading to see how! Start by gathering and prepping a few things.  First of all, find this fun page full of 3x4 cards

 

 You can either cut the cards apart, or use a decorative die to cut them:

 

 Now cut several strips of patterned paper 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

 

A few patterned paper backgrounds are a must!  These are trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4"

 

 Grab the set of pre-made tags and brads (not pictured here) that coordinate with this fun collection:

 

 White card bases are always my first choice - these are cut and scored at a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

 

 Once the supplies are gathered, you can assemble the cards lickity split!  All you need is adhesive!  Here we go: First, lay out the backgrounds:

   

 Place the strips right in the middle of each background.  The are just a bit taller than the backgrounds, so make sure they are 1/8" over the top and bottom both:  

 Now you can go ahead and place the tag in the middle of each strip:  

 Add a brad to each tag top.  Remember those cute 3x4 cards?  Go ahead and place one trimmed card over each tag:

   

 Only add adhesive to the top part of the 3x4 cards - this will create a fun peek-a-boo, interactive effect!

 

Attach each piece to a white card background - and you're all done!! 

 You could easily make dozens of these cards while you sit and watch a favorite holiday movie!!  They would also make a sweet hostess gift.  Or a gift for a busy friend.  So, tell us, are you planning to make your own handmade cards?  Have we swayed you to our side??!! ♥ Wendy Sue
