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!!!!

Daddy's Girl layout by Maggi

 

 

It's crazy that this is the only photo I can find of my Dad and me, so I scrap it often!  I was 4 years old and we had just returned from 3 years in France aboard the USS United States.  I do wish I remembered all that!

Maja Design of Sweden so generously gave the Petaloo Design Team some of their gorgeous vintage papers and they go so beautifully with Petaloo's flowers.  I used royal blue ranunculus and sugared minis on this layout.  Then to add to the shabby vintage looked, I dry brushed white paint over the flowers and leaves.

 

 

 

My title is chipboard from Creative Embellishments that I misted with Lindy's and then glued on some 13 Arts blue grit.  Underneath the photo I used a Circle Doodle Frame .

Petaloo Flowers:

Ranunculus x 14 Royal Blue 5017-122

Sugared Minis x 11 Royal Blue 1131-122

***** 

 

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

***** 

 

Hey there Petaloo Peeps! So very excited to share the projects I created for the Petaloo ~ Maja Design product spotlight. 

 

I decided to create favors since every party is more funner when you get to take a treat home. These pockets have tags but there's still plenty of room to tuck in a little gifty.

 

These pockets are created with the gorgeous patterned papers from Maja Design.

 

I'm using the same basic layout for all of the pockets and layering them on burlap for a consistent look. The natural fiber adds a nice texture as well.

A tiny crocheted doily is a great shabby chic accent and creates a nice base to layer on the beautiful flowers.

I've lined the pockets with a coordinating patterned paper so it will look just as nice without the tags and treats.

Tags are a great place to add a picture or some journaling on the back. Or maybe even affix a gift card?

Stitching around the pockets is a nice subtle detail and adds structural stability to the pocket so you can fill it up without worrying about it coming apart.

I've tucked in some pearly picks coordinating ribbon to enhance the flowers.

Vintage buttons are added to the top of the pockets.

Adding a matching bow and flower to the top of the tag helps to bring the balance to the top of the pocket.

All of the paper layers have been distressed and inked.

I've tucked in a generous band of die cut paper border to add detail to the pocket.

A layer of 110 lb cardstock is added to the back to give a little more sturdiness to the pocket.

Fussy cut images and clocks are adhered to the tags along with a bit of twine strung through.

Okay that's all for me. I hope you enjoyed  viewing these party favors as much as I enjoyed creating them.  Remember to participate in the giveaway you'll need to join us on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram.

Now let's see Maggi's fabulous project! 

****

Maggi here to share my vintage journal with you.  I used papers from several Maja collections to design this fun vintage journal that can be used for photos and stories.  I love that Maja's papers coordinate from collection to collection.  Petaloo's Penny Lane flowers blend so nicely with Maja's paper so and the flowers come in a great selection of 10 different vintage colors.  I used Antique Mauve flowers on the cover and throughout the journal.

 

I masked on the journal cover and then inked with Lindy's mists and Distress Oxide Inks.  I was having trouble deciding on a color palette so I just went with various!  For the closure, I diecut a hinge with an Alterations die from grunge board and felt.  I glued the felt to the grunge board to give it strength and then used a magnetic closure on the front.

 

Here are the papers inside.  I kept them all simple to showcase the beautiful vintage papers.
