First things first, I have a winner to announce from our new release Floral Lane giveaway.  Thank you all for your sweet comments on our newest collection.  And the lucky winner is ...


Congratulations! Please email your full name and mailing information (including your phone number for shipping purposes) to pebblesincdt(at)gmail(dot)com and put "Floral Lane Winner" in the subject line.

And now for some cards created by some of our design team members using their favorite Pebbles products ...

Design team member Zoe Nemburt created this sweet card using our Ever After collection.  Here's what Zoe had to say ... "I made this card for one of my daughters closest friends, I wanted to make more of an impact than an ordinary card would, so I decided to make a step up card - they have so much depth to them and you can create a scenery, or a little fairytale picture fit for any 9 year old to become a princess.  The Ever After collection is so magical with all the added bits of glitter! A beautiful fairytale collection."

Design team member Savitri Wilder created this gorgeous card inspired by a previous layout design.  Here's what Savitri had to say ... "Last week I created a layout using a few butterfly die-cuts. The die-cut template I used can produce five butterflies in different shape and size. I had a few more left and decided to use one of them for this card. I also did a bit of stitching and paper piercing on the banner. Pebbles has these awesome chalk stencils and they are so perfect to add a bit of needlework to any project. All I did was put the template over the area I wanted the image to be on and using a piercing tool and foam (usually comes with the piercing tool) I created little holes for where my needle will go. I just eye-balled the whole piercing process, no measuring whatsoever! I have a few different embroidery thread and while watching my little one play I stitched. To make the banner fun, I just used the stencil and with a pencil made a banner outline. Cut around with some good scissors and adhere (you might want to trim it a bit to fit inside the stitched outline). To not crowd the card I added a few other small pieces and the end result is this clean and simple card."
