You can't help but smile when you take a look at the Birthday collection of papers from Bella Blvd.  Seriously. 

This paper is just incredibly sweet and fun and it is made even better when you pair them up with Petaloo's Floradoodles line of flowers.  I think what I love most about these flowers is that you can add paint, Perfect Pearls, stamp on them, emboss them, stack them, leave them as they are...I could go on.   I also used some Petaloo packaging to give my page that nice pop of green. 

I tend to like my pages chunky to give them a layered look with depth.  Using Floradoodles I can do that with out making my page look like it needs to go on a diet. :)  I used some pink trim from Petaloo's new line of trims.  Suh-weet!!!

I don't have any boys, but I couldn't help but smile when I saw these cute little frogs.  Aren't they adorable!  This paper has endless possibilities.  I used a Petaloo Dazzler, the present, to add to the Birthday look of my card and some white Petaloo trim.  I stacked a few Floradoodles and accented them with Perfect Pearls.  Easy Peasy!! 

I hope you have been enjoying the week with Petaloo and Bella Blvd!!!  Thanks for stopping by!

XO, Lisa

These cupcake dazzlers are perfect for any birthday projects.

The colors of Bella Blvd's collections "Spring Flings and Easter Things" and "Birthday Girl" are so fun and bright, and matches the sweet and colorful Jeweled Florettes from Petaloo so well.

I have made placement cards that I'm going to give to my little niece, Julia, as a present for her to use on her next birthday party. I know she will love them! The Cupcake Dazzlers really were like "icing on the cake" on these cards.

I used stickers from Bella Blvd to decorate the cupcakes.

Here a few more photos of the placement cards:

Birthdays are so fun and Bella Blvd's Spring Flings and Easter Things and their Birthday Girl collection was just the perfect addition to create a card with some pretty Petaloo Flora Doodles Mulberry flowers, Dazzlers and embellishments.  Here is the card I created.

For my card I used a lot of pretty embellishments.  For example my ribbon is from Petaloo's newest Fancy Trim Collection, Shades of Teal.  I added a pretty Bella Blvd. Crochet Heart on top of my bow and topped it off with a Mulberry flower and Bella Blvd. button.

My focal point is my Petaloo Cupcake Dazzler, which I put on a Spellbinder cut doily and added some Bella Blvd. stickers.

I also added quite a few layered Mini Mulberry Delphiniums, which I added a pretty new Petaloo Flower Brad in shade of green. One thing I want to point out on the above picture is that my leaves are made of just a green flower, which I cut into pieces, turned it the pointy sides and viola', you have perfect leaves.  How fun is that!!!  See, you don't even have to have leaves at hand.

Hope you like this bright card and gives you some ideas for Birthdays.  Here are the Petaloo products I used to create it with:

Dazzlers Birthday - Cupcakes

New Mini Mulb.Paper Delphiniums-Brites NEW

Brad Asst x 20 - Shades of Green

Trim Asst - Shades of Teal

Thanks for visiting!

It's Party Time here at the Petaloo blog.  We are teaming up with Bella Blvd this week and WOW! what a week it will be.  We are all using the birthday lines from Bella Blvd and some fantastic flowers from Petaloo.

I am always in need of gift bags and cards for birthday gifts and thought that it would be a great project for this week's birthday theme.

Here is a picture of the gift bag and card.  I used lots of bright and colorful flowers on both.  The Floradoodle Embossed Mulberry Paper Daisies are so pretty and you get so many in each package. There are multiple sizes in each package and two tones of color as well as ones with polka dots.

After layering them all over the bag, I adhered little buttons for the centers of the flowers.  Then I added some cut-ups from the Bella Blvd Birthday Girl collection and some Petaloo Birthday Dazzlers - Gift Bags.

Here is a close up of the card.  I used the Petaloo Floradoodle Mulberry Paper Daisies again in yellow and then cut out the cake from the Cut-ups paper and adhered the sentiment sticker on top it all with foam adhesive.

Here is another view of the gift bag.  The die cut file that I used was from SVG Cuts and was really easy to put together.  My card is 5x5 so you can see that it is a pretty big bag!

My neice's birthday is right around the corner.
Can I just say....If I don't show up
with some type of "creation" to make
it will NOT BE A GOOD DAY!!

With that in mind I created an invitation
to her party!!

I used the combo of Bella Blvd's
Birthday Girl and
Spring Flings and Easter things.

Using the Cute Cuts paper
I cut out the 3 flowers.
I stacked them with the ohhh
so adorable
Yellow Embossed Daisies...
and accented with Pink Flowers buttons.
....and what little girl doesn't like a little bling!!
Thanks to a bit of German Glitter. 

I used the recipe card
as the invitation
inserted into the
white glassine bags from SRM.

Now....to our Birthday Craft....
....what every Birthday girl needs a crown.

....and we will be making these!!!

We will make a BEAUTIFUL stacked flower
from the Bella Blvd paper
and Petaloo Embossed Daisies
all held together with 
a super fabby Embellishment Brad!!

The last time I spent time with her
....she made me a card that said
"ART is A flower"
(just like Aunt like Niece!) 

Products Used:
 Embossed Daisies ~ Yellow
Dazzlers Birthday
Embellishment Brad
Fancy Trim 

Sharing some ATC love ...

 

Want to join a fun & new trend?

We have a suggetion... ATC's ( Artist Trading Cards)

What are they?  Cute little 2.5 x3.5 inch cards that have become a big hit with those who love to share a greeting card with friends and family!

 

You can make them yourself with bits of paper, ink, stamps, or embellies of any type...

 

 Don't have the time to create one of your own?  We have the answer for you...

Vintage Dazzler ATC's...

We have created the perfect 2x3 inch size...but we have added lots of great details for you!  We have scalloped the edges, printed them with lovely vintage images, made them dimensional and to finish it off, they are lightly glittered in all the right places!  Now all you need to do is write a message on the back :)

There are four different themes of ATC's from Petaloo...

birthday ~ valentine ~ island travel ~ holiday

 

If you want to get fancy... take the ATC place it on a card and decorate it with flowers or keeo it simple by turning the tag over, write a message, place it in an envelope and send it in the mail!

Here is another Valentine's Day suggestion since Valentine's Day is next week...

Here is an Island Girl ATC placed on a card...It would make a great party invitation or Wedding Invitation don't you think?!  Plus, we have all the perfect "mini sized" flowers to go with these tags too!

Our last suggestion is another Island Girl ATC  placed on a tag!  It can be a party invitation, a party favor, or used as a tag on a gift!  

 

What a fun and creative "trend" to get involved in...right?!

 

One tip before you start...ATC's are meant to be shared or traded but never sold!

Have fun ...

*********************************

I was thrilled when I saw the "Lovely" collection from Authentique Papers with the beautiful Darjeeling flowers and florettes from Petaloo and ribbon from May Arts! With Valentine's Day just around the corner I just had to create some cards and a little present to give away. Everybody loves a home made card, and with these lovely papers, flowers and ribbon the result can't be anything but beautiful!

I used one 12x12 kraft cardstock for my three cards, all sized 3x4 inches. I have layered papers, stickers and diecuts from Authentique Papers in different ways, and decorated with darling Darjeeling flowers from Petaloo and ribbon and lace from May Arts. I have also put some sweets in a little bag and sealed it with the "Lovely" papers and florettes.

Here are more pics of my cards:

I have softened the edges of the papers and die-cuts with a bit of gesso.

Just look at these flowers - sweet as candy, aren't they?!

Ok, I'm not gonna eat the flowers, but I might just eat the candy in this gift bag:

Decorating a bag filled with candy is such an easy way to make something sweet if you need a little present for someone. Here is a close-up of the top of the bag. The little sticker "I'm sweet on you" was just perfect here :)

Petaloo products used:

Darjeeling Dahlias - Red Raspberry

Darjeeling Mini Pearl Daisies - Red Raspberry

Jeweled Florettes - Valentines

Darjeeling Mini Daisies - Red Raspberry

 

Papers from Authentique Paper - the Lovelyl collection

Ribbon and Lace from May Arts

 

I'm wishing everyone a wonderful Valentine's Day! See you soon!

With love,

Helena
