Petaloo

Petaloo Altered Pringle Can

Hi everyone Denise here with a fun and easy project even kids can do (of course with glue gun supervision). Okay so I am a Pringle fan and have always wanted to use the containers for something fun, and I finally got around to it! NOw this is a Halloween theme, but think of all the different ways you can decorate these with your favorite papers and Petaloo flowers. I used Authentiques Thrilling Kit for this project, and there is a little Snapguide at the end of this post to show you how it's done!

I used Petaloos Fancy Trims Assorted Glitz Silver to make this cool spooky bow

Petaloos Textured elements Burlap Collection is so perfect for Halloween!

And Petaloo, doesn't just have great flowers- These Vintage Label Plates are one of my favorite embellishments. I just added the sticker behind to really make it pop

I used Petaloos Crocheted Trims for the tab top.

Story Go Round ~ Tammy

Hello all of you wonderful Petaloo fans out there in cyberland! Here today to share a project with you made with gorgeous Petaloo blooms! 

I have seen Gorgeous Merry Go Rounds on Pinterest and I have wanted to make one for a long time. I had some G45 "An Eerie Tale" papers on hand and of course they match Petaloo Flowers perfectly! So here was my chance to build said project! I made my own pattern. Mostly using empty ribbon rounds layered with larger circles to cover them and allow me to attach everything together. The center part is a empty toilet paper roll. Nice to recycle trash and create treasure! I made a "story go round". Kinda felt the play of the papers and intertwined them with the project. Here is My Project..

 

Here is the Front.. A little Witch on top to watch the children play below! Ooo But I think they spotted her and running round and round they go!

Back of Project... Gorgeous Petaloo Botanica Chantilly Velvet Hydrangeas in Violet and Mixed Blooms in Sienna adorn my piece. Such a perfect match!

 

How about a couple of close ups? Ooo do you see the witches winged friend trying to catch the little girl?! She is faster than he! Only happy endings in this little story!!

 

One more close up. This is of the maiden who has the magic to turn all evil to gorgeous blooms! :)

A Card for Romantic Weirdo's

I saw a post the other day celebrating Morticia and Gomez Addams' romance. Sure, maybe they are a couple of weirdos... but they love passionately and give the rest of us weirdo's something to aspire to. 

I thought that this quote from the Addams's would make a great card to give your "Cara mia" or "Mon Cher" on Halloween... or if you're a true romantic, any time!

"Last night - you were unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again!"

How fun! Petaloo's little Chantilly-Velvet Hydrangeas are totally lush and perfect for this project. I've also added a couple of small Burlap Blossoms and a length of Burlap Trim tied in a bow.

 

 

Finish off with some distressing and skull charm, and you've got just the thing to let your weirdo know you love them. :)

Here's the supply list: 

Chantilly-Velvet Hydrangeas

I made two for you- one an everyday decor piece and the other is for Halloween. They are super fun and easy to make- so here is a little Snapguide to guide you through making your own.

Halloween Mini Treat Bags

Hello!  Shellye with you today.  I have crafted a quartet of mini Halloween treat bags using a few dies from my stash and several different types of Petaloo flowers. 

First, I die cut the bags (you could use premade bags also) using the Treat Bag Die from Top Dog Dies and papers from Authentique. 

Next, I die cut the Halloween shapes (also from Top Dog Dies) and attached the to the bag fronts with foam adhesive. 

I further embellished the die-cuts with stickers from the same Authentique collection and various Petaloo flowers that best fit with each design: Botanica Minis, Chantilly Mixed Blooms, Chantilly Velvet Hydrangeas and Burlap Blossoms.

I used Fabri-Tac glue by Beacon to quickly and securely attach all of the blooms in place!  To finish off, I added a mini paper clip tied with black/orange twine to the handle of each bag.  These are the perfect size for mini candy bars or a cellophane baggie filled with candy corn.  I can't wait to share these with my favorite trick-or-treaters!

Thanks for visiting us today!

Book of Spells Box

I adore Halloween. I love creepy, kooky and ooky things. Old, grimy, scuffed and icky sticky things are my favourite. And so, here's a wee horrific project for Halloween.

The base is a book box that are fairly easy to find this time of year in most craft supply stores. I've painted it black and green with a bit of cracklish aging.

These DIY burlap flowers have been distressed slightly with some murky water. If you work in washes, allowing to dry between layers, you can a achieve a really great stained look. And they look great next to a little cheesecloth that has been stained and stretched.

Add some bugs and Dajeeling leaves and blossoms and your all set to store some spooky supplies in your embellished Spell Box.

Supplies:

Darjeeling Petites 
Darjeeling Mini Mix

Cheesecloth

Frightful Door Hanger

Hi, everyone!  Shellye here today with a cutely frightful Halloween door hanger or wall decor.

For the base, I used the Pumpkin Album Die by Top Dog Dies and covered them in paper from Authentique.  I used a scroll shaped die for the center and it also acted as a way to attach the two pumpkins together.

I added two oval shapes to dress up the sides of the ghost die-cut.  The outer edges of the ovals were trimmed with burlap twine that I dipped in Amethyst Color Shine Spray by Heidi Swapp.  I used a paper towel to soak up the excess spray and allowed it to dry before gluing into place.

For the flowers, I took three of the Wild Sunflowers and dipped them into Black Velvet Color Shine Spray.  Again, I used a paper towel to soak up the excess and then used a heat gun tool to finish drying the sunflowers.

To the center of the sunflowers, I added one of the Beaded Acorn Pick pieces...it added just the right amount of color!  I also used the leaves from the same picks around the center flower.

Again, all of the papers and die-cuts (except for the ghost, which was from my stash of decorations) are from Authentique's Spirited Collection.  I punched two holes at the top and strung through wire for the hanger.  All ready for hanging out on my front door!

Thanks for joining me!

A Halloween Twisted Easel Card by Bibiana

 

Hello Dear Petaloo Friends:

Here Bibiana with ....

A Halloween Twisted Easel card...

fun shape to display the gorgeous "Petaloo" Flowers paired with some die cuts....

I die cut a witch frame into a patterned paper, secure it to the rectangular front panel and embellished it with black cotton paper flowers and "Kraft" burlap flowers and butterflies  from "Petaloo"

On the folded card, the front panel was cut into a square shape from where the front rectangular panel will be adhered.

I made some loops with the burlap cord/trim...and overlap the flowers...

Paper Doll for Day of The Dead with Bibiana

 

Hello Dear Petaloo friends...

Here Bibiana!

Want a fun and easy activity 

to make with your children 

this summer break?...

Make some Paper Dolls!..

for the "Day of the Dead"

"Día de los Muertos"!

 

I bought this Paper Doll stamp  a long time ago at a stamp convention from "Invoke Arts" ...and today I decided to make a jointed "Catrina" Paper doll decorated with "Petaloo" flowers....for the day of the dead...November 2nd. 

You can find printed jointed dolls over the internet....just search for paper dolls....

This is something that you can do with your kids...

if you do not celebrated Day of the Dead, you can substitute the "Catrina" (name of this particular skull and very traditional for Day of the Dead in Mexico) for another paper doll...

Stamp on a piece of card board paper the "Catrina"

Color it...
I used my "Copic Markers" but you can use any other marker or color pencil...
and remember you can color the "paintable" flowers from "Petaloo" too
cut it
and assemble it...

 

*Note: the waist and the skirt are connected with a brad to make the doll move...
embellish it with some "Petaloo" flowers, ribbon and glitter...

Make sure to back up all the pieces with carboard this will make the doll more sturdy and if you desire glue to the skirt a "coffee" wood stick stir to hold it on your hand...

 

Hope this gives you some ideas...

keep cool and fresh 

and see you for another craft project

Dia de los Muertos Day of the Dead Petaloo Choker

The Day of the Dead is filled with the most livley colors that celebrate and remind us of our loved ones who have passed. Today I have created a felt choker inspired by the holidays colors and themes. It was supr easy- just a piece of felt 12 inches by 2 inches. I took some Petaloo Trims to make make ties, and then continued using the Petaloo Fancy and Crocheted trims to embellish. I added in some scrap velvet, tulles and fabrics. Then used my glue gun to add my Petaloo flowers. At the end I decided to add in some of Petaloos Brads and I think it just made the design pop. I used my sewing machine to add on the trims but you could easily use a glue gun for the entire project. See my Snapguide Check out How to Make a Day of the Dead Choker by Denise Hahn on Snapguide. for the easy instructions. Supply list at end! Denise
