Theme: Holiday Cards and Gifts

All this week on the Pebbles blog we will be sharing holiday cards and gifts created by some of our design team members just in time for the holidays.

 

"I always aim to have a few small hostess gifts on hand for the many parties and gatherings that occur during the holiday season.  I thought a set of handmade tags, garland and bows would make a nice little gift set, since gift wrapping is something most everyone does this time of year!  For a festive approach to this project, I dug into my Pebbles stash and pulled out several of the red and green patterned papers I had, alongside some neutrals and a splash of light pink.  I put my holiday punches to work to add 'a little Christmas' to this project, that otherwise uses not a stitch of holiday themed product.  I love how all of these simple gift accessories look all packaged up in a cute reused embellishment box - I hope the recipient does, too!"  - Jaclyn Rench, Pebbles Design Team Member

“Creating holiday cards without using actual Christmas-y papers is a bit of a challenge, but I love doing it. I feel like it really stretches my supplies (not to mention, my imagination). Crafting these cards was not that difficult, I love the teal and red combination for Christmas, anyways; so, these came together quickly. By using the same card “template”, I could mix and match several patterns together and unify everything by using the same ribbon. Quick and easy, just what the doctor ordered this time of year! Happy Holiday!” - Kim Kesti, Pebbles Design Team Member
