Product Parade: Paper Flowers plus a GIVEAWAY!

Hey everyone!  Today we are focusing on one of the prettiest additions to our Pebbles line of products ... paper flowers!  Add a fun layer of dimension to all your paper crafting projects with Pebbles unique flower shapes.  Paper flowers debuted with the Twitterpated and Tree House collections, and both New Arrival Girl and Boy each have there own set as well.  There are 20 unique paper flowers and leaves in each pack.


Design team member Wendy Sue Anderson used several clusters of paper flowers to adorn this totally sweet message board she created using the Tree House collection.  Here's what Wendy Sue had to say ... "I am a sucker for school supplies and find myself buying way more than my kids could ever use.  This little white board was meant to be used in a locker (it's magnetic), but I thought it would be fun to embellish to keep on my fridge or the metal door that leads out to our garage - just a cute little place for lists or notes or whatever."

Design team member Jennifer Yates shows her layout has flower power by adorning it with lots of paper flowers from the Tree House collection.  Here's what Jennifer had to say ... "I took these photos of my daughter this summer when she turned 3. I wanted to do a layout describing who she is right now.  I used the Tree House collection for this creation and loved how the colors worked so well with my photos.  I had fun using the Tree House Paper Flowers and Red Spool Ribbon to play off her favorite red rain boots!"

Design team member Savitri Wilder created this beautiful and poignant layout using paper flowers from the Twitterpated collection.  Here's what Savitri had to say ... "It's great that I have two little girls to scrap about because then I can use bright pretty colors, ribbons, and flowers. Pebbles embellishments are wonderful and I especially love the flowers because I can either spread them around the page or layer them and create a pretty arrangement on one corner of a page."

I'm just starting to use paper flowers and still experimenting e.g. using buttons or beads for the middle of the flowers.

My flowers range is limited, so this Pebbles selection would be fab for more creative decorating on the covers of mini books and on gift boxes. I would also like to tie gift bags with a ribbon plus a flower closure/embellishment.

Lacey said...

great creations - love these flowers. I would stamp on them and use some glimmer mist to add to their awesomeness!

CraftyGirl said...

I am soooo excited to see you adding these flowers to your lines!! I put flowers on everything... LOs, cards, mini albums, room decorations... the possibilities are endless!!

Romy said...

Flowers and petals are definitely my biggest addition...I've got them in all kinds and sorts and use them on almost every project. The Pebbles petals are one of my favourites too. I'd love to cover them with a bit of Stickles, glitter and Diamond Glaze to give them my own twist.

Guiseppa said...

Beautiful projects ladies!

Shayne said...

These are so gorgeous and versatile! Add a brad or two, some floss, some glimmer mist and there you go!

Elisabeth said...

I have to go with the opinion of my DD (4). Mommy, there are not enough flowers on this picture. You need to work on it more!

So, I stack them, cut them up, layer them, cluster them, make geometrical shapes with it, cover up glue accidents - you name it!

Samantha T. said...

I love to make grungeboard bracelets, and I bet those flowers would be really cute attached to some of them!

I love the Pebbles paper flowers, especially because they also come with the little leaves--such a perfect touch. I recently picked up some Tattered Angles Glitter Glam and would love to bling up some paper flowers :)

Lesley from WI said...

Beautiful flowers. I love to add dimension on cards & LOs. I also like changing the flowers up a little bit by adding glitter, stamping, etc. Anything goes!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Cynthia B. said...

Glad you added flowers to your product offerings! I love to use flowers as accents, but having them as the focal point of your layout or card works great too:
- Flowers as borders down the length of a block of photos or down the whole page
- Flowers as frames for a photo
- Flowers grouped together to form a shape, such as a heart
- Flowers as letters - for example, use a flower in the place of an "o", or as the dot on the "i" or "j" letters.
Loads of creative possibilities for flowers!!

Margaret UY said...
