Product Parade: Ribbon plus a GIVEAWAY!


Hey everyone! Today we are focusing on one of my favorite Pebbles products ... Ribbon!   Pebbles designer ribbons are the perfect finishing touch for all of your craft projects and come both carded to match our collections and on adorable hanging spools in a rainbow of colors.

Design team member Christa Paustenbaugh created this adorable ribbon card that shows off just some of our Pebbles ribbon colors.  Here's what Christa had to say ... "I adore all the colorful ribbon Pebbles has, but find that I don't use it nearly enough!  For this project I chose 5 different colors/spools of ribbon and simply layered them in a row over a piece of patterned paper.  I stitched over each with white thread, then added some background paper, a sticker sentiment and voila, an easy and colorful card for someone!"

Design team member Jennifer Yates also created a set of cards to show off Pebbles fun ribbon.  Here's what Jennifer had to say ... " I love the gorgeous ribbon from Pebbles.  I was so excited to play with the orange polka dot ribbon and combine it with one of my favorite color combination turquoise! I used a little bit of paper from the Ever After collection, a few Layered Embellishments and a bit of ribbon to tie it all together,  Quick, easy and fun to create!"

Design team member Stephanie Baxter created a gorgeous scrapbook layout using lots of Pebbles ribbons.  Here's what Stephanie had to say ... "I often have a hard time with thinking of ways to use ribbon on scrapbook pages other than wrapping it round things and tying it into a bow! So when I saw my assignment for today’s blog post, I knew I’d have to get a bit more creative. I wanted to use several different ribbons to showcase all that Pebbles has to offer in the way of ribbon (they are all so pretty!) so I decided that I would have to use little snippets of different ones. It was only when a few of those snippets fell under the piece of paper that had my title on it that I suddenly discovered how fun it would look to have them all lined up in a row under my title to make them into a focal point for my layout. I love it when those happy little accidents happen when you’re creating, don’t you?”
