Petaloo

Table Organizer using Recycled Boxes

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here again and this time, I'm sharing with you all another back to school project which is very useful. I always have problem getting my kids to tidy up things on their table. Therefore, I decided to make table organizers for them. It is very easy to DIY a table organizer. Simply gather some recycled boxes (such as cereal boxes, gift boxes), pattern papers, washi tapes and beautiful Petaloo flowers.

 

Just arrange the boxes together in the combination you want and start covering them up with pattern paper and washi tapes. You can cut the cereal box into the shape of a magazine or paper holder.

Finally decorate it with flowers, ribbons, jewels and cut-outs.

Petaloo Products Used:

Daisy Layers - Ivory (1205-200)

Daisy Layers - Denim Blue (1205-220)

Burlap Blossoms - Ivory (1201-200)

Burlap Flowers - Ivory (1208-200)

Burlap Flowers - Denim Blue (1208-220)

Burlap Butterflies & Blossoms - Denim Blue (1203-220)

Mini Daisies - Ivory (1214-200)

Hope to see you all again soon!

From Kids crafts to Back to School

I can't hardly believe that it is Back to School season!!

Here is a great transitional craft you can do with your kiddos
as they prepare to head back to school.

I pulled out the same supplies I used for my
Picture Frame Craft.

Acrylic Paint
Stencils
Chipboard 
Ribbon and Twine
Stickles
PETALOO BLOOMS!

I cut (3) 4 x 6 cards from a sheet of cardstock.
Next, we applied torn dictionary paper
to the card faces with
Multi Medium Matte
(that way if the kids get it everywhere
it won't show when it's dry!!)

After creating quarter size puddles of paint
on the craft mat,
we applied the paint with a makeup sponge
through our stencils
creating a beautiful tie-dye effect.

We painted various pieces of chipboard 
with our paint and added our 
PETALOO BLOOMS!

Close ups of our cards.....

Let kids SPARINGLY apply
watered down paint to moistened 
PETALOO BLOOMS 
for a tie dye effect.

BONUS: have the kids WRITE end of the summeR notes to 
FRIENDS, FAMILY and TEACHERS!
(what is becoming a long lost art!)

Hope you are having a WONDERFUL SUMMER
and you have the opportunity to enjoy some time
with your children and/or grandchildren!

I am excited to be Guest Designing for Petaloo!

Good morning!

 

I am Laura Gilhuly and I live in beautiful Southwestern Ontario , Canada. I am a stay at home mom to 2 fantastic and fun loving young men - Cody is 15 and Ty is 14.

I am happily married for 16 years to my best friend and awesome husband, Jon. He is hardworking, ambitious, determined and loving...I am creative, enthusiastic, emotional and passionate - together we make a great team!  We own our own transport truck and he is a long haul driver so during the week, It is me and our boys and my scrappy stuff!!!   I really enjoy trying new things and creating projects!  I create mostly 12x12 layouts but I do really enjoy creating off the page projects, cards and canvases...anything were I can ink and paint and play and get my hands messy!

 

  My family is the focus of my life, my inspiration, and my motivation to scrapbook. 

I am so excited to be guest designing for Petaloo!

Their flowers are so awesome and the ones I received in my guest package were the DIY paintables!  They are so much fun to work with and will always coordinate with your project!

 

 

The first project I worked on is a 7gyspies solo shadowbox I received in my package.

I was so excited to start on it I forgot to take a photo of it! This is how it looked before but mine was brown!

 

The first step I did was cover it roughly with a paint that was sand color and add some modeling paste using a stencil

 

 

I also added some crackle paste - love that stuff!

Then I decided to add to colors I wanted by using the wonderful

Tattered Angels Denim Blue Glimmer Mist that was also in the package and another of my favorite products the Colourcraft Brusho Colours in burnt sienna.

 

 

Next was the fun stuff - I got to color the awesome flowers! 

I used the DIY- Daisy Layers  Burlap-Canvas in Ivory, DIY-Mixed Textured Layers also in Ivory, DIY- Burlap Blossoms in Ivory,
DIY- Baby’s Breath Pick in White, DIY- Queen Annes Pick in Whit, and the DIY - Dogwood Canvas in white.  I used teh same products to color the flowers that I did the tray!

 

 

 

After I dried the flowers I used some matte gel to adhere some crushed glitter glass and prills to the tips of some of the flowers!

 

 

I added some shells, crushed glitter glass, and Prills and a piece of burlap behind the photo of my husband and our boys, that was part of my package to the shelves of the tray.

 

 

 I really love the beachy, shabby chic feel to this!

 

I wanted my next project to be bright and fun!

So I used this fun photo of Ty being buried in the sand!

 

I started by layering the wonderful Graphic 45 Voyage Beneath the Sea papers!

 

 

Then I started to color the wonderful flowers!  For this layout I used the same flowers as on my tray and also the DIY- Burlap Medium Sunflower in Ivory.

 

To color the yellow ones I dabbed the Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink on my craft mat, then spritzed with water!

I added some  Heidi Swapp Mustard Color shine spray then dragged the flowers through them to achieve a more dimensional look.

 

 

 

For the bluish ones I used the Colourcraft Brusho Crystal Colors in Turquoise.  I spritzed them with water, added the color crystals, then spritzed them with water again.

 

 

I dried all the flowers, and added some more prills and crushed glitter glass.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and thank Cheryl @ Petaloo!  I really enjoyed guesting this month!

Kids projects with Cherry Nelson

             Hello folks, Cherry here today with a pinwheel tutorial!  The design team was challenged to come up with some projects that we could do with the kids.  My "kid" just graduated and he is a boy, so I thought I would take on some more girly projects that would be fun to do.  I have a quick tutorial to share in case you would like to make some with "the littles" this Summer.  First grab your flowers and fun papers and let's play!

 

  . 

Next mark your papers 4 inch x 4 inch and cut using your paper cutter.

Remember it is important to like both sides of each pinwheel...you will see both patterns. 

I usually like to come up with my own double pattern papers so I cut two pieces for each pinwheel and adhere together. 

 

I use mini clothespins to make sure they adhere together well. 

 

Next just simply cut each corner with scissors in about 2 inches....I never measure. I just wing it!

From here just fold over every other corner.  You will start to see the pinwheel shape. 

 

Here they are....pretty cute huh?

 

To secure them I use a diecut circle and adhere down and I also back them with one to make them more sturdy. 

 

 

 

Now it if time to have fun layering them up!  Kids can really have fun adding all kinds of goodies.....paper scraps, ribbons, buttons, and of course flowers! 

 

I added ribbons, layers, and mini clothespins that were topped off with the perfect touch...mini butterflies and the sweet petites!

 

 

 

Don't forget to add a dowel or straw to the back!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here they are done!!!!   So much fun...and guaranteed to occupy the kiddos time....at least for a little while!   Thanks for visiting, Cherry

Kids projects with Cherry Nelson

Hey there!  Cherry here today to share another fun kid's project.  Dare I say a very feminine girly project. Darling little vintage style button cards using all the gorgeous Petaloo blooms.  Yipppppeeee!   I so hope I have a granddaughter some day so I can do these types of projects with her!  These especially remind me of my mama...she loved to sew, so these are very special to me!

                        So first off...lets grab oooodles of our Petaloo blooms, cardstock, ink, and some stamps.  Lots of ribbons too....you always have to have ribbons. 

ribbons and flowers are like PP and J.....you can't have one with out the other.  I cut my card stock into different fun shapes.  I even used my teeny tiny diecut that makes the button cards look more legit with a hole at the top to hang. 

 

Grab some fun stamps and just have fun with this part....creating the way you want your "vintage button cards" to look! 

From here ....I am like a kid in a candy store but with flowers.....these are what make these little button cards come alive. 

 

Look how gorgeous the Botanica collection looks.....they look  old fashion to me  like they are old millinary flowers pulled from a ladies hat. I think they really make the star of the show!!!  These would be sweet tied to a little girl's birthday present, or given at a tea party as a parting gift.  Tied together they put make a sweet banner for a little girl's room.  So many possiblities. 

 

 

 

 

 

So hope you like.....thanks for visiting!

Liberty Village with DIY Flowers & Canvas Corp

Hey there Peeps! Ginny here dropping in to share a very festive and fun holiday décor creation using the fabulous DIY Flowers and Canvas Corp patterned papers.  I love to make projects in red, white, and blue since they can be displayed for all the summer holidays!!!

I'm calling this Liberty Village. A row of tiny houses all decked out in patriotic colors and fun trims.  It'll be a great addition to my seasonal décor. My hubby is born on the 4th of July so we really go all in for this great holiday! And we get cake...so that's a win win : )

These little houses are only about 3 inches square ( before the roof.)  I was able to pack a lot of detail in a small space.

All lined up they are the perfect size for a shelf. From this angle you can see how the tiny chimneys fit perfectly on the roof peak. I had to do math shudder.

For this center house I added a few glittery stars on spingy wires nestled into the kraft packaging in the chimney. To finish the tops of the chimneys I added a small length of white lace wrapped around and stapled in place with a tiny staple. Coordinating lace on the bottom of the house is layered over burlap trim.

This roof peak is all decked out with the DIY Flowers, Red Jeweled Flowers,  glittery branches and ribbon trim.  I sprayed the DIY Flowers with Fireworks Spray to match the chevron stripe in the paper. Tinsel trim on the underside of the roof makes it extra festive!

Surprise!!! The roofs come off.  From this angle you can see I've tucked in another star clipped in with an itty bitty red clothespin.

Simply untie the red cord and the little house opens right up to reveal a vintagy image and 3 picture mats for displaying favorite summer pictures.

I just love how the shades of red, white, and blue are all vintagy and not super bright.

Each little house has a different image....but the same picture mats.

It will be fun to fill up these little houses with our pictures and memories. And we can enjoy them year after year when we decorate for the holiday.

Okay that's all for me....wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G

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!

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!!!

Let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Kathy Clement

 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

 

Hello, Friends!  This week we are celebrating Dads & Grads in our blog hop with Canvas Corp Brands.  I love seeing all the happy graduation photos on Facebook, and they inspired me to create a pretty in pink graduation banner and matching mini album. 

 

Just for fun, I decided to go all shabby chic and girly with a pink & black color scheme. This banner would be darling at any girl's graduation party, whether she's graduating from Kindergarten or College.  I used Canvas Corp Brands Paper Banner Kit as my base, but cut the size down just a little so my banner would not be too big.

 

 

Ooh la la!  Just look at this gorgeous posy made with DIY Burlap Canvas layers from Petaloo! .  Isn't it spectacular?  I sprayed the individual layers with Tattered Angels Vintage Pink and Silver Sugar Mists, then gently heat dried them.  I actually kind of scrunched the petals during this process to give them even more shape.  Then I stitched my layers together, added a vintage velvet button to the center and voila!  A perfect color match for this pink and black graduation banner!

 

Custom clothespins?  Yes, please!  Just spray the ones that come in the banner kit with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist!  Easy peasy!

 

Here's the mini album I made to match the banner.  It measures 4" x 5" and has a waterfall folio, gift card pocket and tag pocket inside. 

 

 

For the cover of this mini album, I sprayed the butterfly with Vintage Pink Tattered Angels Glimmer mist.  The flower petals were just lightly dipped into the mist that was left on the mat. Pink chevron ribbon was wrapped around the mini album and tied into a bow.  DIY Queen Anne's Picks  were dipped into Vintage Pink mist and tucked behind the tinted flower.  Metal corners were painted shabby white, and I added a little vintage clip to hold the waterfall pages inside the album closed.

 

 

There's a waterfall feature inside the top half of the album.  It's a great place to add pics of the proud grad and her family and friends. 

 

 

The bottom half of the mini album contains a pocket filled with tags that have been tied with cording from Canvas Corp.  These would be a great spot to have guests write their words of congratulations or advice.  And, there's room to tuck in  gift cards as well.

I hope you're having as much fun on this hop as I am! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Maggi Harding

 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

 

What fun I had making this little scene here to celebrate Father's Day for my husband.  He's a real grease monkey as his hobby is building streetrods.  Now, the best thing about that is he can NEVER say a word about my scrappy spending habits because building streetrods is way more expensive!

So, I borrowed that cut little vintage gas tank from his miniature car collection and using a Canvas Corp 6 x 6 canvas; I "parked" an old car in a field of Petaloo blooms beside the tank!  The first step in creating my canvas was to paint the canvas with a thick coat of white gesso so that my mist and masking would be easier to apply.    After the gesso dried, I misted the canvas with both silver and suede Glimmer Mist.  Next came some stenciled on bricks.  Then the fun part, dying the flowers, adding the photo and the fun embellishments.

 

All the flowers I used are Petaloo DIY meaning that they are made especially for coloring as they all come white.  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to color them in fun shades of silver and red. These flowers are so easy to color and it's great that you can perfectly match your blooms to your project!

 

Canvas Corp makes a fun Paper Banner Kit and I used that to create my banner that I covered with Canvas Corp burlap.  Then I topped off each banner with strips of Canvas Corp paper and heat embossed gears.  I spelled out the name using Tattered Angels High Impact Paint. and sme really old foam stamps.  That is great paint, it worked great on the burlap.
