quick and easy girl squad cards | pebbles inc.

Good morning!  I wanted to share a few cards I created with the "Girl Squad" collection by Pebbles Inc.!  Before I share my cards, I have to say that this is one of my favorite Pebbles collections yet; the colors and patterns are so modern and happy!!  I had so many fun ideas swirling around in my head when I opened the package with these adorable products, but I settled on making something I'm always (always, always, always) needing - birthday cards!  These patterns and colors are perfect for any girl - young or old(er)! ;)  The mix of bold patterns really makes for a unique card - nothing like you can buy in the store - which is what handmade cards are all about, right?  Here's a look at the cards I whipped up.  OH, and I decorated the white envelopes to coordinate as well!  Check them out:Create these quick and easy cards and coordinating envelopes by @WendySue (@WendySueA) with the "Girl Squad" collection from @PebblesInc. And they truly live up to the blog title - quick and easy!  Here's how to make it yourself: First, start by cutting various patterned pieces (these are from the 6x6 paper pad).  The base should be 4" x 5 1/4."  The pink dotted paper is 4" x 3" and the black gingham is actually from one of the tear strips, trimmed down to 4" wide.  The striped paper is was cut into a half-circle shape and is 4" wide along the flat edge.

After these pieces have been cut, assemble them like this: Create these quick and easy cards and coordinating envelopes by @WendySue (@WendySueA) with the "Girl Squad" collection from @PebblesInc. Next, tie white twine around the card: Create these quick and easy cards and coordinating envelopes by @WendySue (@WendySueA) with the "Girl Squad" collection from @PebblesInc. Now you'll want to gather stickers, puffy stickers, ephemera, etc. Create these quick and easy cards and coordinating envelopes by @WendySue (@WendySueA) with the "Girl Squad" collection from @PebblesInc. Use them to embellish the circle. I used foam adhesive behind the die-cut pieces for a little bit of dimension.
