Pebbles, Inc. Guest Designer - Along the Way

Hello, Pebbles, Inc. fans! This is Jessi and I am excited to be a guest designer for the Pebbles. Inc blog. I was given the super adorable Along The Way Collection. Once I got the collection in my hands, I could not wait to get to work. I immediately fell in love with the gorgeous colors used throughout the variety of prints!

First up, I made a simple home décor hanging using a few different prints:

This project started with a unfinished house shape wooden piece. I cut the different prints down to the correct sized and glued to the wood. I used a few more prints for form the different layers to highlight the saying. To finish the piece, I used on the of pieces from the Along the Way Ephemeras.

Next up is a page I completed in my Bible Journal:

I used more of the additional Along the Way embellishments than I did the papers. I used some ephemeras, 3D sticker, and word stickers. I did cut up a few of the 2x3 squares included on one side of  a 12x12 sheet. 

Another thing I loved about this collection is how easy it is to throw together some quick cards:

In the Along the Way collection, there is a box of cards. These cards are made using some of the fun prints from the collection. A great way to get started on a card. I cut up a few different tags from a 12x12 sheet and created the cards using frames and stripes of paper. 

I enjoyed my time as a guest designer. Thank you Pebbles, Inc. for the opportunity!

Little Tangles Challenge - Thankful

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Today starts a new Little Tangles Challenge and it is about giving thanks!

 
I used the Neat and Tangled's All My Heart and Simple Christmas stamp sets to create this card.
 

 

To create this card, I covered the card base with the floral print. I used a rectangle die to create the panel, the sentiment will be stamped on. I stamped the wreath in a gray ink and stamped the sentiment in the middle with pink ink. The sentiment panel is attached to a wood print mat and then attached with foam dots. At first, this was going to complete the card, but I felt the card needed something else. I added 3 pale pink enamel dots to the add.

I hope you stop by the Little Tangles blog to see more of the design team projects.

Little Tangles - Paper-Piecing Challenge

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Today starts a new Little Tangles Challenge and  it is about one of my favorite techniques!

 
 

I love the Neat & Tangled's Giving Tree stamp set. I used that set to create a scene card.

 

To create this scene card, I started with the background. I used a couple prints and aligned them using a border die. The different parts of the scene are stamped onto a variety of prints. The images are hand cut and pieced together.

I hope you stop by the Little Tangles blog to see more of the design team projects.

Home is wherever I am with you

Hello, Butterfly Reflections, Ink friends!  Have you stopped by the shop lately? There are new products arriving everyday!

 

Today, I am sharing a card using some of my favorite companies, Pebbles and Avery Elle!

 

I used the Pebbles Home Grown 6x6 paper pad to piece together my card. I love the color combos used throughout the collection! The stamp set is the Avery Elle's Home Sweet Home.(Currently on sale!!!) The tee-pee is paper-pieced with a variety of prints. To match the sentiment, I added a few stamped hearts.

 

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you have a great day!

Watercoloring with Lawn Fawn

Hello, Butterfly Reflections friends! It is my day on the Butterfly Reflections blog today!

Today is using stamps from one of my favorite stamping company, Lawn Fawn! I love the selection Butterfly Reflections carries! From the new and the old! Check out the Lawn Fawn selection to see what is in the store now!

Here is my card using Lawn Fawn's Wish You Were Here stamp set:

 

The bottom sentiment came from Lawn Fawn's Milk and Cookies stamp set. I love how simple it is to create the sentiment on a curve with clear stamps! I believe it adds so much to overall look of the card!

 

I attempted to watercolor the map to resemble the landscape of the US. I love how watercoloring can be somewhat forgiving!

 

Check out the Butterfly Reflections for the newest products available!

WCMD Honorable Mention at PCS Magazine! Please VOTE!

I am excited to share today's card with you! A few weeks ago, Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking Magazine announced their "Honorable Mentions" for the World Card Making Day Contest! I was super excited to see my name listed for the 'Love' catergory!

 

Starting today, PCS Magazine is holding a contest for the 'Honorable Mentions' from the WCMD contest. Stop over HERE to find out more about the contest and how to vote for my card! I appreciate all your help!!!

 

VOTE HERE!!!!!

 

I hope you like it as much as I had fun making it!

 

This card uses the 'inlay' technique with a variety of dies. To start the card I used the polaroid die from Echo Park to cut out of the back layer of the card. Using the same die, I cut the shape out of another patterned paper and slide into the empty space on the blue backing. The frame showcased the white space on the card base, so I decided to leave that empty. The wooden accents (Studio Calico) are glued to the card base. The simple sentiment (Sweet Stamp Shop) is stamped onto the frame. (It is hard to see in the picture, but I colored and cover the heart with Glossy Accents). To finish the card, I stamped the card sentiment (Sweet Stamp Shop) onto a banner diecut and attached to the card on a foam dot. I wrapped some red Americna Crafts ribbon underneath the banner.

 

Please stop on over to the Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking blog to vote!

Hopefully for my card...hint, hint :)
