Hello and welcome to my Hello Spring post and project between Petaloo and Little Yellow Bicycle.  I decided to create a little gift basket, card and arrangement for my mom for Mother's Day.  I had a great time creating it with all of the wonderful Petaloo and Little Yellow Bicycle products and I can't wait to give it to her. 

Here are a few details about my project.

The first thing that I made was a card.  I used the Little Yellow Bicycle's Hello Spring sticker sheet and papers.  The large tree trunk on the sticker sheet is seperate from the leaves and flowers for the tree so I replaced a couple of stickers with Petaloo Floradoodles flowers.  Then I used some LYB gems for the centers of the flowers and around the tree.  I also used a little bit of the grass on the sticker sheet and popped it up with foam adhesive.  The title stickers are from the LYB Hello Spring sticker sheet as well.

The second part of my project is the 3D watering can.  I cut the can out of LYB Hello Spring papers using a SVG Cuts file and my Silhouette.  Then I had fun embellishing it with Petaloo Floradoodles and LYB Hello Spring embellishments.  I love the cute LYB transparencies in this collection.  I attached them with foam adhesive for added depth.

Here are a couple of closeups of the embellishments on the watering can. Click on the picture for a larger view.

The butterfly transparencies were glued onto floral wire with Glossy Accents.   Then I took a old sponge, though I would have perferred to use a half of a stryofoam ball or florist foam, and put it in the bottom of the can and stuck the butterflies on the wire into it to make them stand up.

The last part of my project is a little stand again cut with my Silhouette using a file from SVG Cuts called Poplar Street Tulips.  The label on the stand was decorated with Petaloo Floradoodles flowers stacked on top of each other and then held together with a brad.  I love using the green flowers as the leaves so there is always a green flower on the bottom of the stacks.

I think that my mom is really going to enjoy receiving this gift.  It will look very pretty on a shelf in her kitchen.  

Petaloo supplies used:

Floradoodles Mulberry Street Paper Daisies Asst Pack Brites

Floradoodles Mulberry Street Embossed Daisies Fuschia

Floradoodles Mulberry Street Paper Delphiniums Brites

Floradoodles Mulberry Street Paper Tye-Dyed Daisies Yellow

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you have gotten some great ideas for fun paper crafts that you would like to make for your Mother, a friend, or even yourself.

Howdy folks.......Lynne here with my creation using the soooo

What a fantabulous combo....
spiral flowers cut from the
6 x 6 Paper Pad
and
Floradoodles!!
Sooooo Bright and Cheery!

I accented the wreath with burlap squares
and loopy bows!

For added sparkle I placed
Jewel Stickers on the tendrils.

Laugh Every Day,
Love Beyond Words."
by adhering it to a piece of cardboard
and cutting out the individual words.

This week Petaloo and Little Yellow Bicycle are joining forces and there will be no shortage of inspiration to be found!  Imagine my surprise when I opened up my box and literally felt like I was being wrapped in sunshine. Get your sunglasses ready.....

Wow!  If that doesn't make you want to go build a sand castle, I'm just not sure what will.  I love how vibrant and happy everything feels.  This line from LYB comes with a ton of embellishments.  There are 3D stickers, regular stickers, transparencies, die cuts and the list goes on.  Lots of possibilities.

Flora Doodles are just so much fun to play with.  One of my favorite things to do with them is fold them and smoosh them.  Here I fold and layered different colors, and then dressed it up with a jewel and some Stickles.

This is my most favorite part of this page.  These flowers are a blank canvas and while I stayed with the tried and true option of layering the different sizes, I still found a way to give them their own personalities.  They aren't just ANY flower.  LOL  I added some grommets, jeweled brads for centers and stickles.  I layers a few of the tye dyed Gypsies in there to give the flowers some varigation.  I am really pleased with how they look.  GORGEOUS!!!

For my mom, I made this cute little gift tag using some paper from the Hello Spring line.  I smooshed and layers some smaller Flora Doodles and gave them all a little bling.  I finished them ff by adding in some of Petaloo's newest items, feathers.  MMMMMMMmmm, so soft.

 

Thanks for stopping by!!!

A Vintage Spring card from DT member Helena Johannson:

Spring is in full bloom and what better way to celebrate that than to make a card? I decided to make a vintage one, and the blue Mulberry paper daisies has got the perfect shade of blue to go with the music paper. I layered several flowers and used a brad in the middle. I folded the "legs" of the brad a bit to make the flower more three dimensional. Then I added some blue tye-dyed daisies around the larger flower.

 

Petaloo products used:

Mulberry paper tye-dyed Daisies - blue

Mulberry paper Daisies - Brites

Petaloo and Graphic 45 "New Years Inspirations"

It was so much fun, we added a few more days...

Welcome back to... Monday's

Petaloo & Graphic 45 

New Year's Inspiration Week!

**If you would like to receive a "SNEEK PEEK" of Petaloo's new 2012 SPRING flowers  next week, LIKE us on Facebook and you will be the first to see the newest spring flowers to match the G45 papers !!! **

******

Welcome to my post for the Petaloo and Graphic 45 blog hop!! I know that you will love all of the beautiful projects that both teams have created for this week.

I've got two new fabulous products to tell you about, one from each company.  Petaloo introduced their Darjeeling Collection this past summer and are the beautiful flowers you see on my layout.  Their shabby, soft, and vintage feel are the perfect companion to the Graphic 45 paper.  The Graphic 45 paper and embellishments are brand new and called Tropical Travelogue. I love the chipboard elements and the papers are printed in these wonderful muted tropical colors and patterns.

What I love about these Darjeeling flowers is that they are ready to use right out of the package.  The are already distressed and have lovely pearls and metal embellishments in their centers.  But that doesn't mean that if you love to alter that you can't dress them up a little more.  They take inks, paint, and mist very well.

Here are a couple close up pictures of the flower bunches that adorn my layout.  There are a couple of different packs of flowers that I combined to make them.  Check out the supply list for more details.

Do you see those leaves?  Their texture is so detailed that they almost feel real.  

Thanks for stopping by the Petaloo blog today and I hope you will come back to see the other beautiful projects created.
