***** 

 

Hello everyone! It's Irene here and today's is my turn to share with you all my project for this product spotlight with Maja Design and Petaloo! Have you thought about having a vintage summer party for this Summer? Today, I've created an easy centerpiece to decorate your party tables with. I've used Maja Design gorgeous pattern papers with beautiful Petaloo Penny Lane flowers to create a feminine vintage paper umbrella.

I actually saw an instructional origami video on how to create this paper umbrella and thought that I should give it a try and add my own twist to it in decorations. Here are more pictures of this paper umbrella.

This umbrella are able to close and open when needed. I've added tons of flowers and trims to it, to create that vintage feminine look.

I've used several different sizes of Penny Lane flowers to create clusters on this paper umbrella.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you all again soon!

xx Irene Tan

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!

Happy Birthday USA!

....and I'm having a party!
and you are invited!!

For my decorations/invitations,
I colored a couple 
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Heirloom papers
Black on Ivory
I used...
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

I also colored
Petaloo's Paintables ~ Dogwood x 24 Canvas
with the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

I cut the colored 12 x 12 paper in half
I cut (7) triangles from the halves.

I then cut a slightly larger triangles out of
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Ivory Burlap.
For interest I added some
vintage lace.

I adhered the layers together. 
Then, I adhered a length of vintage Ric Rac
over top of the banner shapes.
When dry, I adhered
Canvas Corp Brand ~ White Ties & Tags
to the Rick Rac.
Then I layered on a
Petaloo Paintables ~ Daisy Layers ~ Ivory
at loopy jute bow
a stapled
Petaloo Paintables ~ Dogwood ~ White leaf
and a colored
Petaloo Paintables ~ Dogwood ~ White
(the larger ones) 

I had some of the left~over colored paper
so I created little "banners" for my cake.

I hot glued extra long toothpicks 
to my colored banner pieces.

How cute is that??

This is a GREAT project you could
do with your kids! 
In celebration of this great country...
HAPPY 4th of JULY!!

 

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

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!

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

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.

Simple Spring Petaloo Stash Project

I have been waiting a long time to make this project! I have been dreaming of using all the little flowers in my "leftover flower pot" stash to make a little spring banner, and this little project exceeded my expectations! I keep two little flowers pots on my craft table, one for little flower leftovers and one for the bigger ones. You can adapt the size of your banner according to your flower sizes and make as many as you want, with 3 being the minimum. This one is made using a 4 inch long by 3.5 inch wide pennants. First cover chipboard with green paper for a "leafy" background that disappears once you start flowering on it.

This is all you need!

Start by anchoring all of the corners first then work your way around the edges and then inside

Use the "warping" of the flowers to your advantage like the green one on the right, it was a little flat on one side so I used it along the edge- don't worry about little bald spots that why we made the background green!

I usually punch holes to run my trim, but with the flowers this is tough, so just glue on your trim, making sure you hit each corner with the hot glue. I found this super cool leaf trim in my stash, it fit perfectly

I used an assortment of Petaloo Botanicas, Darjeelings, and Textured Elements

Cardstock: Core'dinations, trim May Arts Jumbo Satin Trim Leaves in Olive
