Petaloo

Fairy

For me Spring doesn't really start until we go to the Elf Fantasy Fair. All the beautifully dressed up people, the little fairies, the castle and the beautiful surroundings really put me in the mood for spring.

I take lots and lots of pictures and I cannot wait to get home to scrap them all. Amber wanted to be a nature fairy... lots of green and pink in her clothes and her facepaint. Loved the combination of pink and green flowers to complement the photo.

Hope this will inspire you to put the spring in your layout.

Hugs from Holland,

Mireille

Fun Spring Tag

Hi there! It's Irene here again and I'm still in the Spring mood here! Today I would like to share another small tag which is also inspired by this season. I've used some beautiful mini tye-dyed daisies and some spray on this tag.

Here are some close-ups.

I've also added a beaded hat pin on the tag.

I've used layers of the mini tye-dyed daisies to create the rose liked dimensional flowers.

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!!!

From Paris with Love - part 2

In april I showed a layout with Amber on the Eifel tower in Paris using beautiful spring flowers.

Today I have a simular photo only I turned it into a more vintage layout using the beautiful Darjeeling Collection of Medium and Mini flowers by Petaloo.

This flower collection has lots of great flower shapes such as Hydrangeas and Mini Daisies in the perfect vintage colors of cream, black and burgundy!  In addition, many of these flowers have really cool metal centers. The best part of these flowers?  They are made from Recycled paper!

There are lots of papers to match these flowers... Tim Holtz, Graphic 45 and Bo Bunny are just a few.   Why don't you pick some up and make your own Vintage layout today?!

Supplies for the layout:

Darjeeling mini mix# 1462-003

Darjeeling mini mix:#1462-001

Darjeeling Hydrangea #1460-004

*Darjeeling Petites #1465-001

 

Hope you enjoyed this small variation to the Paris theme,

Spring Layout with Flora Doodles

I'm so happy to see the bright and beautiful colors of the flowers in my yard and gardens. Spring is such a wonderful time of the year.  

So today, in honor of Spring, I have a bright and colorful layout for you, using Petaloo's Flora Doodles line.  I used some paper from Imaginisce's Spring line and the colors went perfectly with Petaloo's Bright Flora Doodles flowers.  

This cute little guy is my son and he just recently experienced his first Easter Egg hunt.  I think that next year is going to be a lot more fun! Ha! The grass was really prickly and he didn't want to move to grab his eggs when we put him down. Next year, I am sure he will be running to grab his share.

My favorite thing about these flowers is how easy they are to layer.  There are many different colors, shapes and sizes in the package so it's just a matter of putting the smaller ones on top of the larger flowers and securing them together.

On this layout I used some Basic Grey brads that I had in my stash and was thrilled to see that they matched the colors of the flowers perfectly. Another tip I woud like to share is how to make the leaves that I have with these flowers.  One of the Flora Doodles flowers is green, has 6 petals and is the same shape as the blue flower I have on my layout.  If you cut along the petals lines into the center, the pieces resemble leaves.  I slid them under the flowers and they worked perfectly.

This photo shows how I used some of the new Bird Spring Dazzlers as accents for my title. I love the little bit of glitter on their wings.

Thanks for stopping by. Let's get out your Petaloo flowers and see what you can make today!

Spring Layout

Hello everyone! Today I would like to share a Spring inspired layout with lots of gorgeous Petaloo blooms with you all. To create this layout, I've used Flora doodles Jeweled Florettes and Mulberry.

Here are some close-ups on it.

I've lightly folded the petals up of each flower and layered them. The Flora Doodles Jeweled Florettes makes a perfect flower center.

Check out how much dimension you could get if you layer them.

The mini florettes are also perfect for decorating banners.

Delicate Treasure

A few years back we went on a family vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.  My daughter was running up and down the beach looking for sand dollars and pirate treasure.  Instead of gold she found a feather from a sea gull and she couldn't have been happier.  Not sure the birds were so excited as she kept chasing them trying to give it back. 

I have packs of these gorgeous and vibrant Flora Doodles so I decided to just have fun and play with color.  Flora Doodles are a perfect blank canvas.  Sure they are perfectly gorgeous just as they are, but a little bling never hurts. ;)

I decided to stamp an image in white onto my Flora Doodles.  Then I folded the flower in half and placed a Grungeboard flower base shape over it.  I curled back the top petals and then accented with Liquid Pearls.  I really love the way they came out. 

Here, I stamped the base flower using the same stamp but this time I added some Fairy Dust glitter to the ink before it dried.  I layered a smaller flower on top and using Glossy Accents I added some beads for my flower center.

Here you can see some of the itty bitty Flora Doodles.  I smooshed these together to make them nice and plump and then glued them in place!

The next time you are looking to totally customize your flowers and make them look totally unique, grab some Flora Doodles!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

From Paris with Love

Dear Blog readers.

Mireille here... Last month we started spring with a visit to Euro Disney in Paris. We had blast but it was Amber's big wish to see Paris for real.. the city.. outside the Disney park. She so wanted to see the Eiffel Tower. She said it was her biggest wish in the world.. a wish from the heart. So how could we refuse?  We had a blast.. Paris was beautiful.. the Eiffel tower was beautiful, but most of all I enjoyed watching my little/ big girl enjoy herself. Before we went she made a study out of the Eiffel tower.. and her teacher helped her.. looking everything up on the computer. How long it took for them to build it.. how many people build it .. when.. and why.. and how high it is.

And high it was at the top. She enjoyed the view till she ran out of pocket money.. (and believe me she saved a lot) There was nothing more I could do then scrap this photo of this wonderful moment using the beautiful soft pink tones of the Spring Darjeeling Collections. I  especially am very fond of the little pearls in the mini pearl daisies.. I thought they were só "Paris"

Oodles of Doodles

If you are playing along with the SWIRLYDOOS Blog Hop Block party...then you are in the right place!

First, take a peek at Lisa Valentine's wonderful projects for Spring with our new Petaloo Floradoodles!

 

I picked up this little lavender wreath for a few dollars at Micheal's and new exactly what I wanted to do with it.

Have you seen Petaloo's new chipboard pieces???  Have ya??  You have now!  I painted the butterflies with some Shimmerz and then embossed them with Ranger's Bridal Embossing Powder.  I embellished them with pearls and some of Petaloo's Feathers!!  Yum......

The flowers are Flora Doodles that I combined to create little colorful magnolias.  Suh-weet!

THEN, I found myself inspired by a vintage stock photo I found.  I looked at the picture....looked at the bright and springy Flora Doodles....looked back at the picture and heard the theme to Hawaii Five 0 in my head (and visions of a shirtless Alex O'loughlin). *walkin' it off*  I knew that I wanted to create a 1950's style card with art deco colors and a tropical feel.

OK, this really isn't my normal style, but every once in a while you just have to let loose and do something different.

Flora Doodles Tye-Dyed Gypsies are too cute and absolutely perfect for the look I was going for.  I topped them off with a Bird Dazzler.

That cute little frame is part of Petaloo's new chipboard collection.

Thank you for stopping by!

Farewell Post

Hello Petaloo fans, it's Tanisha here with my final post as a Petaloo Design Team member.  I have had the pleasure of designing for this team for 2 years, but as we know, all good things must come to an end. 

I created a nice and simple Spring layout for my final post.  I stretched my title across the page and embellished with the Darjeeling Mini Pearl Daisies and a butterfly.  The embellishments match the Quick Quotes papers and the photo so perfectly!

I used bubble wrap and WOW embossing powder to create a little texture to the background.  I then inked over the embossing with Quick Quotes Powder Puff ink and added a couple of those gorgeous butterflies from the Darjeeling collection.

The different hues on each flower really give them a life-like appearance.
