Happy Father's Day!

Hello all!! Happy Father's Day!! Tammy here today to share a Father's Day card. Using some yummy Petaloo flowers and a little bit of Bo Bunny to make a vintage card for Dad. Here is my card..

Little touches of blue here and there to keep a manly feel. Dashes of brown and distressing bring it all together. I added a little bit of masking behind my Chippy letters to make them pop a little more. Then clustered some YUMMY DIY paper flowers, burlap pick and painted a couple of them with the same ink I used to color my chippies. Here are a couple of close ups.. 

Very easy to make a manly card using Petaloo and making Dad's day special on too!!

Father's Day Project

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here with you all today. This time, I'm sharing a Father's Day gift which I've created using just two pieces of acrylic banner. I've tied the two pieces of banner with ribbons to make it into a table frame.

For this frame, I've decorated it with beautiful textured blossoms by Petaloo.

Hope you all like it!

File Folder Card for Fathers day by Bibiana

 

Hello Petaloo friends:

Here Bibiana....

I made this file card for the upcoming father's day using The gorgeous Petaloo Flowers.

 

I used several dies from various companies, and I love the idea to make a small file folder containing inside a gift card for Dad!

 

I decorated the front  with this fun die Sweater and the inside with a bicycle die.

 

Here it is a shot of the supplies that I  used  from "Petaloo" and "Quick Quotes" papers

 

Various Petaloo Flowers.... some handmade in cream paper ready to be altered if you wish so, and some in "Kraft" paper with black dots...the black flower is in velvet with tulle! lost of texture!. I added some burlap and twine cord to finish the look.

 

The  patterned papers are from "quick quotes".

Remember to make the slants for the gift card (stamping up punch) before gluing this creme panel to the darker one

 

and when placing the bicycle die do not glue all the way the bicycle in order to insert the gift card properly...

see left side, the bicycle is ONLY glued with a glue dot on the wheel

 

Hope this card can be one of your favorites for father's day

Thanks for the visit

Hi Everyone....
Are you enjoying this weeks blog hop
with Marion Smith???
What FABULOUS inspiration!!!

I'm so excited to be sharing my 
Graduation Gift with you!

I began with a Canvas/Burlap Postcard.
I then took out a piece from Marion Smith Designs
Junque Gypsy 6 x 6 Paper Pack
I crumpled it
tore it
sewed it
stenciled on it
smeared paint on it....
AND I LIKED IT!

Then I pulled out some of the latest releases 
Petaloo Blooms...
and a few oldies but goodies!!

I am TOTALLY in love with the
Calla Lilies and Berries
along with the
Velvet Lilacs
(at least they don't make me sneeze!)

 

To give all the different textured blooms
a bit of cohesiveness,
I accented them all with a bit of
Perfect Paints ~ Bright Gold Paint.

I finished of my "postcard"
with part of a quote from 
Marion Smith Designs 
Junque Gypsy 6x6 paper pack.

Now....to find a graduate to give this too!!!
I think I know of at least one!

Let's start off the hop with NICHOLA BATTILANA ...

 

A few months back I came across a post about "The Festival of Broken Needles", or Hari-Kuyo, a Japanese custom honoring broken sewing needles. As someone who sees the beauty and worth of ordinary objects, I was immediately captivated. Broken, bent and worn sewing needles are saved, then honored on a special day by placing them in cakes of tofu and offering them thanks before they are laid to rest. It's a bit more complex than that, but that's it in a nutshell.

I wanted to honor my own bent needles and so I've created a little mossy box for them to 'retire' in. 

I've covered the box with paper from the 6x6" Junque Gypsy pad from Marion Smith and fussy cut some butterflies for embellishment. The corners are dotted with Petaloo Chantilly-VelvHydrangeas. I've also included an Embellishment Brad to finish things off.

Supply list:

Chantilly-VelvHydrangeas
Embellishment Brad
Junque Gypsy 6" paper pack
Bagatelle Box 1.5 by 3 inch
12mm Wooden Box Feet 
Moss
Branches
Glue
Acrylic paint
Bent Needles

A Gift / Memory Box for Dad

In our household we celebrate simply. A small token gift, maybe dinner out, or a trip to the movies is standard gift fare. Just because our gifts are small and sentimental rather than large or elaborate doesn't mean that we can't gussy up the presents!This year for Fathers Day I'm planning a night to our local drive-in to see Mad Max (woo hoo!). Using Cogs & Gears from Marion Smith I created a simple gift box, then topped it with an image from Portfolio. I've finished off the exterior with Embellishment Brads, Burlap Trims and a Spring Berry Cluster.

Inside the box I've wrapped up the tickets and added a little floral touch with a little Chantilly-VelvHydrangea

And even better, after our drive in adventure we can store photos and ticket stubs, in the box to remember our 'Dad' night together.

Supply List:
Embellishment Brads
Burlap Trims
Spring Berry Cluster
Chantilly-VelvHydrangea
