DIY Summer Memories.....

Earlier this year, when perusing my 
local TJ Maxx I came across a GREAT
wooden home decor piece in the 
clearance section. I figured I could
paint over it or whatever
when the notion so inspired me....

Now....having just returned from an
AMAZING summer get~a~away....
I couldn't WAIT to create 
a "piece" of my MEMORY
and my clearance find was
just what I needed.

The first thing I did was scuff up the
shiny finish with my Groove tool.
Now....that's better.

Now, for the inspiration of the flowers on
my "memory" piece....
the Beach Rose,
Queen Anne's Lace
and Goldenrod.....

To recreate the Beach Rose, 
I chose the DIY Burlap Blossoms
sprayed with a bit of water,
and colored with watered down paint
and it was just PERFECT!

 

 

I then pulled out an oldie but goodie....
Darjeeling Foliage Assortment.

....a bit of spray and paint
and both leaves look similar.

And there you have it....
MY SUMMER MEMORY!

The DIY Queen Ann's Lace was the 
ideal addition to my flower cluster.

 

I pulled one of the clusters apart
and tucked then randomly
around my "Beach Rose".

 

As you know.....I love a good quote!

I hope you are having a WONDERFUL summer
full of "moments" to remember....

...and creating something
to remember your "moments"!! 

PRODUCTS USED:
DIY Burlap Blossoms x 4
DIY Queen Anne's Lace
Darjeeling Foliage Assortment

ALICE CARMAN

 

I made a few cards today to show you the different looks you can get using Authentique's Anchoredpaper collection and Petaloo Darjeeling & Forget Me Nots flowers.

I wanted a simple look for this card so you can see how pretty flowers can look with Authentique's Anchoredpaper.

My next card was inspired from my passion of sushi.  I am crazy for sushi and it inspired me to create this card.  I love the flower pattern from the "Anchored"paper collection, which also can be used for an Asian theme.

For my last card, I wanted something fun and simple.  These adorable Forget Me Nots are so cute and perfect for card making so I thought adding them to seaweed would be fun next to Mr. Crab.

Supplies

Petaloo Seaside Darjeeling

STACY RODRIGUEZ

Hello everyone, Stacy here with you today sharing my project that I created with the amazing Petaloo goodies and Authentique Anchored collection.  When I opened the package and saw the flowers and that pattern paper, I knew I find to find something cool to alter.  I was walking through the store and saw this wooden unfinished boat.....yep had to have it!!!  I simply adore the way this turned out!  Let's start out with what the finished project looks like first.

I have a few photos of different views as well since there is so much to see on this one.

To start this project I painted the boat white, then took my Walnut Stain distress ink and blending tool and inked areas of the boat.  I used the Authentique Anchored collection and adhered it to the outsides and inside of the boat.  Of course since there was the little ledge in the boat when I stood it up I thought a mini album would be the perfect addition to that ledge.  On the bottom of the boat I had some netting in my stash and added that fisrt then it was time to have some Petaloo fun.  I started by placing the flowers on first.  For this I used Petaloo Darjeeling Petities (Teastaine) and Darjeeling Mini Mix (Teastaine & Dahlias).  Once I had the flowers placed I added the glass jar of sand and then placed the Petaloo Sea Shells around the jar and flowers.

Now onto the mini album.  We are taking a trip this Summer and this will be perfect for our beach photos!

The covers are created using chipboard that I covered with the Authentique Anchored collection.  The papers and stickers from this line are simply amazing!!  The binding of the album was done using the Cinch machine.

I used all of the same flowers on the mini album as I did on the boat itself.  On the binding I added the fabulous Petaloo Fancy Trims in Taupe that really sets the album off.

The inside of the album I used the pattern paper as the pages.

Supplies Used:

Petaloo -

Fancy Trims (Taupe)

SeaShell Bag

Darjeeling Petites (Teastaine)

Darjeeling Mini Mix (Teastaine & Dahlias)

Authentique - Anchored Collection

 

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, hope you have a wonderful day!

Denise Hahn ... 

   

Let's make some party favors today! Authentiques "Anchored" paired with Petaloo makes perfect summertime party favors for a 4th of July Party or a little boys Birthday. I used a very simple oragami technique to make the boats. With my scraps I made a cute little banner to go along. Then just becuase I LOVED the Anchored Collection I threw in a fun little keepsake box made with a Graphic 45 Book Box. I included the Snapguide tutorial on how to make the oragami boats at the end of this post- Denise

The Little boats are super easy to make- see my tutorial at the end of post for how to I make a little base to make sure they stand tall 

I used a mixture of Petaloo Teastained Dhalias in Red and Blue

 

  I love my little Rigatta! Wouldn't these be cute as centerpieces too?

 

 

Now you cna actually fill these with little candies or peanuts too!
 Okay now onto the little bonus project! A sweet little shadow box book using the same papers. See how easy this collection can go from masculine to feminine?

Let's set sail with this Beach Souvenir tin by  

Nichola Battilana ... 

 ~  ~  ~  

It never fails that when my family visit the beach we come home with some sort of souvinier. Sea shells and pretty stones, little things that mark the memory of our adventure. While pondering a summer/beach themed project I thought of the memories sparked by those little treasures and decided to give them a proper keeping place.

With an altoids style tin I've embellished the front with Authentique's "Guide" from their Anchored collection.

Pretty white Forget Me Nots are paired with Botanica Petite’s in blue and accented with a tiny bit of Fancy Trim. All of those pieces come together with Sea Shell Pin accessories.

Finally, a few sea shells are added as accents. The sides of the tin are embellished with strips of "Cruise".

Inside the tin is where we keep our memories safely tucked away.

Four little glass vials are housed inside, filled with small beach memories.

Using Authentique "details" stickers on the little glass vials, you can add the location and date that your beach findings were collected. Or, you could always fake it like I have and use Petaloo's bag of Sea Shells.

A few more stickers inside for the finishing touches and Voila! You've got a tidy little tin to keep your beach memories safe :)

Let's "set sail" with this amazing layout by Petaloo DT member

Eva Dobilas ...

 ~  ~  ~  

Hi there, this is Eva and here to share a couple of cards created with Authentique Paper's Anchored paper collection and Petaloo's flowers.

My first card is focusing on the bold red/white striped paper and a beautiful sentiment label.  I just love that boat!

As you can see I added the pretty Darjeeling Teastaine Dahlias in blue, also the Darjeeling Teastaine Minimix in red, Darjeeling Teastaine Petites in blue and Forget me Not flowers in white.  Also I outlined the sentiment label with a red sparkly trim from our Assorted Glitz All Red Trim package, to make it stand out even more.

Here is another angle of my card.

My next card focused once again on a pretty sentiment label and some fishtails cut out of the beautiful patterend papers.  I added a My Favorite Things doily in the back of the sentiment sticker and also on top of the label element added my flowers.

I also added a cute trim from the Assorted Red Glitz Trim package.  I think it made a perfect addition.

Here is another view of my card, so you can see the pretty layers.

Hope you like these cards and gives you some idea to create with Petaloo's flowers and Authentique Papers Anchored collection.

Here are the Petaloo products I used on these cards:

Darjeeling Dahlias x 10 - Teastained Blues

Darjeeling Petites x 24 - Teastained Blues

Darjeeling Mini Mix x 8 - Teastained Reds

Forget me Nots x 16 - White

Let's "sail away" with Petaloo DT member Helena Johansson...

 

Hi everybody! Oh boy, did I have fun creating with Authentiques Anchored Collection, Petaloos Darjeeling flowers, Penny Lane flowers and Seashells!

This paper collection really inspired me to do something "beachy" and I started with layering a couple of the beautiful papers. I painted the edges and the middle with some white gesso and glued a piece of cheesecloth in the middle, perfect to get that ocean feeling.

I then cut smaller pieces of different papers and made a little banner, also using the Anchored stickers and tiny pieces of cheesecloth. I then attached little clothespins and a piece of Petaloo string in bright red. I glued the banner on top of the cheesecloth and started to decorate with Petaloo Darjeeling flowers in blue and red, and Penny Lane Forget Me Nots in white. I also added some seashell pins and seashells.

I finished everything off with some white gesso here and there.

Now I'm only waiting for Summer to arrive!

Here are a couple of close-ups for you:

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have been inspired!
