Gift Box Trio | Pebbles Inc.

I love making my own gift boxes from beautiful papers and supplies I have on-hand!  Here's a peek at a little gift box trio I created using the "DIY Home" collection by Pebbles, Inc.!

This project was quick and easy thanks to the Gift Box Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers!

It will be so fun to fill up these boxes to give to someone special! And they will never know how quick and easy the boxes were to create!

4th of July Treat Bags | Pebbles, Inc.

Good morning!  Today I wanted to share a project I created for the Pebbles, Inc. blog.  It’s a  quick and easy little project I whipped up to share some fun patriotic treats with some of my favorite neighbors!  I love sharing a little surprise gift at random times, but when there's a holiday or reason for celebration, it's even a BETTER time to share!  I used the Gift Bag Punch Board (from We R Memory Keepers) and the "Americana" collection to create this fun little set of gift bags.

I love the versatility of the gift bag board.  I used the "large" size marking for all three of these bags, but made each one a different height.

Happy 4th of July!! :)

how to create a fun little tag…

I really love giving little "just because" gifts to family members and friends.  Seeing the look of surprise in someone's eyes when you give them a special little gift, just out of the blue, is the BEST!  It's really easy to do these types of things, without a lot of planning ahead, if you have a nice stash of gift cards, gift bags, gift tags, etc. on hand.  I recently discovered that my stash was getting low.  I decided to use some fun little phrase cards from the "happy day" collection to create some quick and easy tags.  And of course, I had to use the coordinating papers, along with my Gift Bag punch board, to create some sweet little gift bags - just perfect for tucking in a delicious treat...chocolate anyone?!?

I trimmed some of the 3x4 cards from the "weekend" patterned paper.  I knew I wanted to use these cards to make some really easy tags.

I trimmed the excess "white space" from the left and right sides of the images.

   Then I created the top of the tag shape with my gift bag punch board.  I simply lined up the left edge with the "start line" and punched.

Next, I flipped the card over, lined up the other edge with the "start line" and punched again.

Easy!

To finish off my tag, I cut a small square piece of coordinating paper from the 6x6 paper pad and added it to the tag top

Followed with a pretty enamel dot!

I followed the instructions included with the Gift Bag Punch board to create a "medium" gift bag, cutting my paper at 7" for the height.

I attached the tag to the gift bag.

And now it's ready and waiting to be filled with a yummy treat for a special somebody...whenever the mood strikes!
