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

Looking at things.....differently!

Howdy folks.......Lynne Forsythe here.
Today's post was prompted by a converstion
I had recently with a woman,
about not looking at items at face value,
but looking past that
and seeing ALL THAT THEY CAN BE!!

I did just that when I created this card......

These are the flowers I used
to create these 3 dimensional beauties!!

Tye~Dyed Daisies ~ Blue

and.....these.......

Mini Delphiniums ~ Brites

now......don't get me wrong!!!
"Flatties" are WONDERFUL!
Seriously......look at the beauties!
But....this is what they can become!

To help you Transform your "FLATTIES"
I created a tutorial for you....
Hope you enjoy it....
And that I've inspired you to
LOOK BEYOND!

Hi there, it's Eva here today and I am so excited to share two projects with you.  My first one is a little decoration.  I simply adore happy colors, in fact almost everything I make has to have happy colors, it's just what inspires me, so when I got my box full of happy colors products from Little Yellow Bicycle, I was in heaven!  

The Hello Spring line is AMAZING, the least to say. Colors, patterns, shapes, 3 D stickers, fabric elements, you name it, you can find them all in this one collection.  And what' the best part is that it matches Petaloo's Flora Doodles line, so I was totally inspired!

For my base I used the 6x6 Decorative Edge Double-Sided Textured Cardstock, as I just loved the shape of it and the color as well. I also used the frame from the Clear Cut Shapes with glitter. I used the little cardstock tree, which was begging for Petaloo's Jeweled Florettes and by my tree trunk I used Embossed Mulb. Paper Daisies as grass. I have to give credit, where credit is due, so I have to tell you that these ideas came from my friend Alice Carman, as we scrapped together for NSD and she was just flowing with ideas...LOL..so thanks Alice!

Here is what my little wall decoration ended up looking like after adding the super fun birdie from the Fabric Favorites self adhesive 3D stickers. I just thought the birdie was a perfect addition.

I also want to mention in case you would like to know that I also used My Favorite Things Dienamics on this card, the chevron die and the label behind the frame are both by them, which I cut out from the pretty Little Yellow Bicycle papers.  Here is a close up of my little decoration.

My second one is a Mother's Day card, since we are celebrating that this weekend.  For this project I decided to use the 6x6 paper pad from the Little Yellow Bicyle Hello Spring line and once again I embellished it with the Fabric Favorites 3D elements and stickers.  I also added some Flora Doodles Mini Mulb. Paper Delphium Brites, as it just matched the whole collection so perfect!

For my sentiment I used a JustRite Papercrafts stamp set.  Here is a closeup of my card in more detail.

Hope you enjoy these projects and wishing you an early Happy Mother's Day.

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.

Mother's Day is this weekend so I thought I make a couple cards that will inspire you to create a few of your own.

On this card I die cut some honeycomb shapes to match my Petaloo flowers.  Then I folded the flowers over the die cut and addes some Little Yellow Bicycle sticker leaves and rhinesones for texture.  Super cute and easy to put together!

This card was created using Little Yellow Bicycle Hello Spring collection and Petaloo's Mulberry Paper Flowers.

New Mini Delphiniums Mulberry Street Pastels

 

I die cutted a few shapes using LYB Hello Spring collection papers and added the Birdy Dazzlers.  Simple and clean, perfect for a quick card and just in time for Mother's Day!

Aren't these little birdies adorable? They work so well with LYB Hello Spring collection. Almost like they were meant for each other.

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

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.

List of Petaloo Products used:

Embossed Mulb. Paper Daisies - Fuschia (1313-017)

Jeweled Florettes - Teal/Fusch/Chart/White (1350-225)

Tyed-Dyed Gypsies - Teal/Fusch/Chart/White (1357-225)

How do you layer flowers?

Today's post is all about flowers.  It's the perfect embelishment for Spring!  I love all the fun and bright colors of this season. Petaloo's Flora Doodles have the right shape, size and colors.  

I couldn't decide what flower I like best so I used a few to create today's card.  Don't you just love these flowers?

I started layering my largest Flora Doodles flower and used the smaller Flora Doodles flowers to fill in the empty spaces on my card.  I also tucked in die cutted leaves where needed.  This is a great way to build clusters and to add more texture to your card.

Want another techinque to use on your card?  Using the Mulberry Paper Flowers I like to fold them over and layer them on another.  I like this look because it reminds me of a Cone Flower Daisy(my favorite).  

The only difference between a real flower and my card is my flower has a cute frog on it.  You can get these adorable frogs from the Dazzlers Water Animals collection.

Supplies I used:

Jeweled Florettes - Blue/Pink/White/Yell - Baby’s Coming

Embossed Mulb.Paper Daisies - Chartreuse

Hope you enjoyed today's techinques and come back tomorrow to see more creative projects by our talented Design Team.
