quick spring gift project | pebbles inc.

Hi friends,  I wanted to pop in today, and share a quick spring gift project!  I used the beautiful products from the "Tealightful" collection by Pebbles, Inc., to create these milk carton gift boxes.  They would be perfect for holding sweet treats, tea bags, or even gift cards!  And, in keeping with the assignment, they truly are quick and easy!

   

 I used a cut file from the Silhouette store for the cartons.  Just search for "milk carton" on their site and you'll find lots of fun options!  After the carton has been cut, fold along all of the score lines.

   

 I really like this red tape to assemble 3-d projects.  It's super strong and keeps boxes and bags together!

   

 After the box is assembled, it's time to add embellishments.  

 I layered a couple of printed die cuts together.  Then I clipped them to the top of the milk carton and tied a twine bow around the clothespin.

 

For the phrase/sentiment, I used a sticker from this collection.  I used my small scissors to notch the end and then added it to the top of the layered die cuts with foam adhesive.

 

I wanted to add a bit of interest to the front of the milk carton as well.

 

I layered a few of the coordinating die cuts together and attached them to the front of the milk carton with foam adhesive squares.

 

Tada, the finished product! 

   

 And because they are so quick and easy, you can easily whip up a few extras!  Here's a strawberry printed box:

 

And a cute pink gingham box too!

 

I hope you like this Quick Spring Gift Project!  Give it a try and then share your finished product with us!!

autumn gift trio | echo park paper co.

I always feel extra creative in the fall.  Maybe it's the thought of being all warm and cozy inside the house while the temperatures outside are falling.  Maybe it's all the inspiration around me - both in nature...and in the fun boutiques that are popping up everywhere.  Or perhaps it's the amazing new fall paper collections I get to work with!  This "Fall is in the Air" collection by Echo Park is one of my favorites, for sure!  Here's a look at the gift trio I created for their blog:

Here's a look at the gift bag:

I recently designed these cards as "teacher appreciation" cards for the Pebbles, Inc. blog.  But really, they could be modified and used for anyone on any occasion - that's the BEST thing about making your own cards!!

quick spring gift | pebbles, inc.

A few months ago, I created a fun (and easy, as always) little spring gift project to share on the Pebbles, Inc. blog! Instead of my usual "treat" gifts, I took a cue from Mother Nature for this one.  Here's a look at my finished project. 

Isn't it pretty?!? This is the backside:

the gift of words | pebbles, inc.

I believe words are pretty powerful...I believe they can change an attitude, a day, even a life. If you've ever visited my home, you'd know this to be true.  I have words everywhere. Single words, quotes, song lyrics, lots and lots of words.  And if I can make the words pretty...well, that's a win all-around! 

I used the beauty and wisdom from Jen Hadfield's "Everyday" collection to create a few fun projects recently for the Pebbles, Inc. blog:

A few close-ups:

Of course, you can find photo tutorials for all three projects on the Pebbles, Inc. blog HERE!
