Theme: Holiday Cards

This week on the Pebbles blog we are focusing on Holiday Cards.  There's nothing better than giving (and receiving) a handmade card during the holidays.  I've asked some of our design team members to share with us some of their ideas for creating holiday cards made with Pebbles products.

Design team member Kristen Swain created this stunning card using scraps from some previous Pebbles projects.  Here's what Kristen had to say ... "One of my favorite things to do is to use my scraps from other projects, I find it's so much easier to see unique combinations of colors and patterns when you are playing with the smaller pieces like scraps. I love that I can make several cards with my scraps, and my throw away is minimal, what a great way to save money and paper! I put these two red and green papers together and thought it was just a fun and pretty Christmas combo, making a card came easy once I was inspired to add a little kraft cardstock to the mix. Adding this large ribbon and bow really gives my card a lot of punch too!! I also used foam tabs on the chipboards, not just for the dimension they add, but now my card has more sticking power to stay well adhered."

Design team member Samantha Sibbet created the perfect backdrop for her holiday photo using rub ons and brads from the New Arrival Boy collection.  Here's what Samantha had to say ... "I love making my Christmas cards each year and I always include a photo.  The pretty blue doily designs in the New Arrival Rub Ons reminded me of snowflakes and I thought they would look perfect on my Christmas card."
