Petaloo

Dad's Day Card

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here. Today, I would like to share a Dad's Day card with you all. I've used the beautiful Maja Design pattern papers with gorgeous Petaloo flowers to create this card. I tried to keep the design of this card simple.

Below are some detail shots of this card.

It is so easy to create a beautiful cluster of flowers using these gorgeous Penny Lane blossoms.I've added more textures using some burlap pieces.

Hope you all like this card and see you all again soon!

Beautiful Graduation Cards

It's graduation/commencement time.  Seems most everyone is off to a graduation ceremony, party or at least knows a recent graduate.  Today, graduations are celebrated for so many reasons;  the little wee ones moving from Pre-K to First Grade; dogs finishing up a training program and moving up a level; even moving positions in a company to achieve the next job level.  

Graduation is serious business.

 

 Jennifer Snyder here today to share in the celebrations with a couple of cards.   I also have a few grads in my family so this was a great project. 

 

 

My first card uses one of Petaloo/Floracraft's newest releases. 

 This card features the Petaloo/Floracraft  Botanica Collection -Gypsy Rose Bunch in Cream. 

 

 Actually it has one big flower in the center of the cluster and two smaller flowers nestled on each side. 

I used a Spellbinders die and some old My Minds Eye paper.  

 

 

 

Here is the second card I crafted.  This card features a new flower from the Botanica collection paired with an older Botanica in the same color.  

 

There are the flowers I chose:

Petaloo Botanica Fairy Rose Bud in Red RS5013-192/4

 Petaloo Botanica Collection - Faux Dried Flowers Ephemera in Red 1100-205

The flowers add such grace to the beautiful delicate die from Spellbinders. 

 

Here  are a few close ups at different angles.  The Red Elphemera flowers have floral berries in the packet so I used those as additional points of interest. 

 

  

 Keep your eye on the Petaloo website.  It will be moving soon and is being relocated to the Floracraft website.  Floracraft is the new owner of Petaloo.  You'll be able to see all the new flowers on that site.   

That brings me to my final farewell to the Petaloo Design Team.  The Team is wrapping up and ending.  

I am  overjoyed to have been part of the Petaloo family, to showcase such premium products, and work with the Team led by Petaloo's  prior owner, Cheryl Cohen.  Cheryl, thank you for your support.  You are indeed a  rare and genuine rose.  

Giant thanks also to all the Petaloo followers and flower lovers - such a fabulous group of folks. 

Fear not - your flowers are not going away.  They are just relocating.  

 

You can find my blog here at  Scrap Escape.  I hope you have a chance to visit me on my blog because I'll still be crafting to my heart's delight with gorgeous Petaloo flowers.  

 

I'm Jennifer Snyder  - and I'd like to wish you all a crafty wonderful day.

Mixed Media Father's Day Card

Hi everyone, Lynne here, and today I have a mixed media Father's Day card for you. Actually, it would also work very well as a Birthday Card.

Pretty rugged, isn't it?!! I decided to use more papers from Maja Design....love!!! And oh so perfect for this card. I added a lot of inking, and many layers, but I kept the background pretty simple.

The layers include a die cut Tim Holtz Weathered Clock, as well as a few chippies from Recollections. The variety of the base color, affected the look of the blue and brown mists I used. I also added a Prima Doily diecut from one of the papers. To get the weathered look on the edges of the papers and flowers, I misted onto my craft mat, and then dragged the papers and flowers through it. I thought I should mention, that I actually like the backside of the Timmy clock diecut better than the front, so I flipped it over.....bet you didn't notice!!!

The Petaloo Mixed Blossoms and Forget Me Nots in Robin's Egg Blue really pop with the addition of the brown mist.

The alphas are a mix of printed chippies from K&Company. The "D's" were originally green, which gave them a different shade of blue as well. To finish off the card, I added some metal gears.

With great sadness, this is my last post for Petaloo. It was such a great opportunity, honor and dream come true, to be on this awesome Design Team.  Thank you so much Cheryl and Jeff!!!!

Altered Tin and Father's Day Card

With a heavy heart, I have to say this is my last post for Petaloo, I want to put a big thank you out there to Jeff and Cheryl for giving me this opportunity and trusting in me to showcase their product, Their kindness and caring is over the top. Thank you so much for your friendships. Not a good bye but a see you later. 

I want to thank the followers, consumers  and supports of Petaloo and the rest of the Design Team, for your support,  compassion and kind words. 

 

I have a fun altered tin and card made especially for dad! You cant go wrong with rust, gears and steampunk. The tin is to hold all of Daddy's sweet treats.

Enjoy the video and creative process.

 Because Brown is not a favorable colour for flowers, sometimes you just have to make them yourself. I used the Dajeerling Teastained   for the larger flowers and sprayed them golden yellow, with the Mini Mix I simply ink distressed them for the grunge look.

For the tin I used a rust technique to grunge it up and added the flowers and metal embellishments.

So the kids and I will fill this with daddy's favorite sweet treats and leave the extras close so he can finish those off as well. (A sweet tooth in denial)

Thank you for stopping by today!

Look Out World Graduation Card and Gift Card Holder

Hello, Friends!  It's Kathy Clement here with a great idea for a graduation card.  Many of us present the graduate with cash or a gift card. It's always nice to present a monetary gift in way that makes it even more special.  So I went on a search in my favorite papers from Graphic 45, looking for a collection that would lend itself to a graduation theme.  I found this great Look Out World image in the classic "Come Away With Me" collection.  

I love the depth, dimension and texture that these Petaloo Penny Lane Sea Green Mini Wild Roses add to the card's composition.

While this may look like a standard 6" x 6" top fold card, the focal image actually opens up to reveal a hidden gift card pocket. Simply remove the mini binder clip....

...and there it is!  You can write your congratulatory message on the enclosed mini post card, then tuck the gift card in along with it.  How fun is that?

The inside of the card holds a postcard filled with tags.  The tags can hold small photos of the graduate, be used as bookmarks, or a place to write down some words of wisdom for the graduate.

The decorative panel on the bottom half of the card actually opens.  This would be a great place to tuck in a few small graduation photos.

A Fond Farewell

The other reason I chose a travel themed collection for this card is a little bit sad.  This is my last post as a member of the Petaloo Design Team.  As you know, Petaloo is now owned by Floracraft, and the parent company has decided to close down the Petaloo blog and disband the design team.  

Life is a journey with lots of destinations along the way.  A little more than 2 years ago, I literally danced for joy when Cheryl, the owner of Petaloo, asked me to guest design for a month.  At the end of the month, she asked me if I would like to stay on as a permanent designer.  Would I?  You betcha!  

It has been such an honor to design with gorgeous Petaloo flowers, stick pins,  and trims for the past 2+ years.  Cheryl has been a dream to work for: supportive, kind and generous.  My Petaloo teammates have been a joy to work with and I've been blessed to forge some friendships that will endure even after this gig is over.

And then there's YOU the loyal Petaloo fans.  You have been so kind with your lovely comments on my posts.  I will continue to use Petaloo products in my design work, and will continue to share those projects on my personal blog, Kathy by Design.  

You will continue to be able to purchase Petaloo flowers in retail shops and online in stores such as Scrapbook.com, JoAnn's, and A Cherry on Top. Thank you so much for being on the journey with me.  

All good things must come to an end, and I exit with a heart that is filled with gratitude for the wonderful experience I've had designing for Petaloo.  As the sentiment on the post card in my project says, "The Best is Yet to Be!"  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Grad Bag and Tag with Petaloo DIY Collection

 

Hello Petaloo Fans. Today I have a gift bag and little tag to share. I have used flowers from the Do It Yourself Textured Burlap and Canvas collection. These flowers are so much fun to alter and add to your projects!

 

 

I used some Shimmerz mists to alter the DIY flowers on this project…it is to easy, just mist to the color your choice! I love this big bow made from pieces of canvas from Canvas Corp, and some Petaloo Trims …then I just added the DIY flowers on top.

 

 

I used the same flowers on the cute little bag tag…Burlap Butterflies and Blossoms, and the Mixed Textured Layers. The layers are super fun too..you can build your own flowers and there are many sizes in the package.

 

 

 

Try some DIY flowers and create your own embellishment colors!

 

 

That is it for today. Make sure to check out our Facebook, there is always something fun and creative there! Take care and Happy Scrapping!

Graduation milestones by Cherry Nelson

Hello Petaloo Peeps!  Cherry here with my first ever design team post.  It is all about the "Grads" this time of year.  Our family is no exception. My son just graduated as valedictorian of his class this past weekend.  A wonderful but bittersweet milestone. With his graduation party we kept with a classic black/white theme.  I just love this color combo and think it is perfect for graduation projects.  I decided to make a card using this simple but effective combination. 

I used Papers from Canvas Corps.  They complimented the burlap daisies perfectly. 

 

I love playing with all the layers you can create with these blooms.  Instead of putting a stamen or button in the middle I decided to use one of the burlap picks.  I love all the dimension it added.  The picks added such a classic touch to this card!

From here I added a hand stamped sentiment and some black scrunched seam binding.  Other than that, a key was tucked into the bloom as a symbolic touch.  "the key to your future". 

  Thanks for stopping by!  Cherry

Let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Shona Keehn

 

 

 

Hello Petaloo Fans and welcome to the Petaloo/Canvas Corp Blog Hop! I have chosen to do a 12 x 12 Canvas Corp Burlap Canvas…with Heritage photos of my dad. I find the earthy colors are perfect for a Heritage piece.

 

To start I did a bit of masking with a thick gesso on the Burlap Canvas. I also used a brush and added a bit of gesso around the border.

 

 

Next I added some splatters of the Mist and Gimmer Glam from Canvas Corp.

 

 

The DIY Sunflowers and Daisy Layers are also just misted. First I spray them with a bit of water so the color blends smoothly on the Petaloo DIY flowers. The Petaloo DIY flowers are so perfect…you can create what ever color  you like for your projects!

 

Behind the photos I added in a piece of darker canvas from Canvas Corp and a matting of paper from 7gypsies. The cute little cloths pins are also a Canvas Corp piece!  

 

 

To finish off the clusters I added in the DIY Burlap Pick and DIY Queen Annes Pick. I left those both white as I loved how they popped on the clusters.

 

 

That is it for today. Make sure to check out our Facebook page for all of the Blog Hop Details and check out the giveaways too! Take care and Happy Scrapping!

Let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Ginny Nemchak

 

Hey there Peeps! Ginny here and  I'm dropping in to share the project I created for the Petaloo~Canvas Corp Brand ~Tattered Angels Blog Hop. This is a fabulous brand mashup!!! I started with the pretty patterned papers and altered the flowers using the Glimmer Mists. 

This little crate is chock full of sweet coordinating tags.

I added a sentiment cut apart to the front of the crate and layered on some gorgeous Petaloo flowers.  I left some of the DIY Flowers unaltered to lighten the arrangement. Pretty graphic ribbon and twine finish it off in style.

I left the tags in their natural state of kraft brown to accent the crate.

There are some additional flowers and pretty charm and tag hanging from the ring with a generous amount amount of ribbon.

The crate is lovely even with the tags removed.

Each tag has a similar layout to keep a consistent look throughout.
 Spacers between the layers help to add dimension and gives additional sturdiness.

The tag backs are finished with coordinating papers and leave plenty of room to add pictures and journaling.

Oh how I love to see these tags all together with so many gorgeous flowers!!!
