Petaloo

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!

Spring Bookmarks

Hello Petaloo fans! The weather is so nice in Spring and it is a great time to do a little reading during free time. Therefore, I've decided to create some Spring inspired bookmarks which will come in handy during my reading. To create these bookmarks, I've used pattern papers by Graphic 45 and some beautiful Darjeeling flowers by Petaloo.

Here are some closer look of these bookmarks.

And here are some details on the gorgeous flowers used on these bookmarks.

Hope you all like these two simple bookmarks and see you all soon!

Off To The Races Address Book

Hi everyone!! Lynne here, and today I have an address book for you. I actually had this book in my stash, and as soon as I pulled it out, I knew it would be perfect with Graphic 45's Off To The Races Collection. 

    This little binder is very old, but the colors are perfect with the papers, so I didn't want to cover the whole thing, instead, I opted to just layer my papers, chipboard pieces and flowers on top of the cover......more like an accent.

I diecut a few doilies to layer in between the papers. I also tucked in a few blooms among the papers, along with a bit of cheesecloth in and around the flowers. I distressed the edges of the papers, but didn't add any inking, I wanted the colors to stay pure.

I adore these Garden Rosettes.......so gorgeous!! and these colors are just perfect!!

I did make a few pages for the binder, thinking that I would turn it into a mini......but I decided to go ahead and use it as an address book instead. In the end, it looks much better, and is far more useable for what I want. I will probably turn the rest of the pages into tags and/or cards.

I hope that you enjoyed my address redo, and that you will be inspired to remake, and revamp some of the items you've been hoarding in your stash!!

Lynne

Flowers for a Cheery Spring

Jennifer Snyder here today to share my cards for spring.  

I have two cards I'd like to present all gussied in gorgeous Petaloo.

 

Here is the first card features the wonderful Petaloo Penny Lane  - Mixed Blossoms Antique Rose . 

I've tucked in some dyed seam binding ribbon and floral berries for added fullness to my floral cluster. 

 

 The paper collection is from Carta BellaFlora #1 6x6 paper collection. 

 

 

Here is the second card.  This one is fun and super summery.  I stamped the flamingo onto watercolor paper and then gave it a quick blush of color.  My real pop of color comes in the Petaloo florals I chose: 

Petaloo Botanica - Mini Pistacchio 

Petaloo Darjeeling  Teastained  Pink Petite Blooms 

 

Isn't this sweet and cheery up close?  Bright, cheery, happy flowers - and I love the color combination of pink and pistachio. 

 

The rectangle die cut frame also fits the summery look with the bright pink background.

Mother's Day Card

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here. Today, I'm going to share with you all a simple Mother's Day card which I've created using some gorgeous Darjeeling flowers by Petaloo. I've used papers by Graphic 45 for this card.

I've chosen the green and pink theme to create this card for a feminine look. The vintage image in this collection is perfect for this card.

I've created a dimensional cluster of flowers using a combination of cream and pink blossoms.

Hope you all like this card and Happy Mother's Day to all mothers around the world.

Momma's Boy Layout ~ By Heather

Hello all, Heather here today. As mother's day fast approaches,  I am drawn to scrap those precious child photos. This photo is one of my neighbor's little boy and her brother. Such an innocent looking photo and perfectly captured. 

 

 

I recently had a girls weekend getaway and had a small stash of supplies with me to use, so minimal is sometimes better, this masculine layout was perfect for simple. Subtle background details with stamping and some texture. 

Masculine layouts and flowers are such a hard concept sometimes but these neutral tea-stained Dahlias work great with a little oxide inks splattered on them. Neutral and they don't take away from the focal point of the layout. 

A few extra details with some metal embellishments and chippies and the perfect masculine layout captured.

I hope all you mothers, grandmothers, fur momma's and all have a great day. Thank you for stopping by.

Heather

Happy Mother's Day Pocket with Tags

Hey there Peeps! Today I'm sharing a project I created to celebrate Mom.  What better way to show you care by creating a special project with ultra feminine style?

 
 

 This pocket is filled with tags that can be used to write out a sweet sentiment or attach a thoughtful gift card for a spa day or special shopping spree for Mom.

This scrumptious flowers arrangement has layers in shades of pink with a gorgeous butterfly tucked in.

Even without the tags inside this pocket is really lovely. You can see that there is room also to tuck in some mementos and favorite pictures to create an untraditional scrapbook project. What Mom wouldn't want pictures of her little cutie pies???

The tags were designed to be similar but different incorporating the patterned papers with ribbon trim, crystal drops, painted chipboard, and of course more of the coordinating flowers and butterfly.

Stitched With Love Vintage Style Sewing Themed Folio for Mom

Hello, Friends!  Where would we be without Mom?  With Mother's Day fast approaching, today's post is a tribute to moms everywhere.  Many of us are without our moms on this day for one reason or another.  My own precious mom went to be with the Lord in 2005.  Instead of being sad over her absence, I've created a new Mother's Day tradition of preparing a special card or gift for women who have played a crucial role in my life.   Even though these women are not MY mom, I'm sure they appreciate receiving a special gift that lets them know how much they mean to me.  So I've created a lovely Vintage Style Sewing Themed folio using Kaisercraft's lovely Mademoiselle collection.  This folio is for my dear friend Karen, who is a master quilt maker. 

 

This is a 5" x 7" folio with a 1" spine.  The dimensional pocket on the front cover is decorated with gorgeous Botanica Pistachio Anemones, Red Vintage Velvet Pansies, Green Mini Garden Rosettes, Green Mini Mixed Blooms, and Cream Darjeeling Mini Blossoms. 

 

These blooms top a dimensional pocket that I filled with paper pretties.

Don't you just love the way that the buttons on this hand stamped vintage style button card pick up on the pansies in the flower cluster?

The spine is decorated with ribbon, a cluster of small charms, and a pretty button.

 

The album is just chock full of vintage charm, beautiful patterns, pretty flowers and interactive elements.

 

This folio follows the same basic format as one I made earlier this week.  You can find the tutorial HERE.

Lots of  pockets with little paper pretties tucked in.  I just love interactive elements, don't you?

I've prepared a YouTube video tour where I share lots of tips, tricks and inspiration so you can make your very own.

 

Thank you so much for joining me.  Wishing you all a very special Mother's Day filled with lots and lots of love.

Cheerio,

kathy
