Christmas Gift Tags by Lynne

 

Back by popular demand ... Holiday GIFT TAGS is one of our most popular projects by our friend and former DT member Lynne Forsythe ...

 *   *    *

Tis the season of all the trimmings....
and what better way to trim a gift bag
then with a "Bag Tag"
I love to use a simple Kraft paper bag
with a little tissue paper,
helps the "Bag Tag" POP!

The base of each tag is one
G45's ~ Large Tag Album ~ Ivory. 
I traced the "tag" onto 2 different
G45 papers from the A Christmas Carol Collection.

For this tag I used Bah Humbug,
using both sides of the paper.

I applied Multi Medium to the face of this "tag"
misted CCB ~ Tissuestock with water
and squinched it up on the tag
tearing it in spots.
I applied a layer Perfect Paints ~ Bright Gold
mixed with Perfect Glaze Medium
wiping off at will.

I finished off my first tag with Lots of
Petaloo Sugared Botanica Blooms
and Vintage Velvet Dogwoods
Velvet Hydrangeas.

....now onto my next "bag tag"!

For my second "Bag Tag", I used
G45's ~ Seasonal Sentiments and
Yuletide Greetings. 

I inked around the edges of the tags,
I then applied BoBunny Gold Glitter Paste
through TCW Vineyard stencil around the edges.

For my flower cluster I used 
Petaloo's Sugared Bontanica Blooms
along with a Sugared Pick.

I tucked in Petaloo's Velvet Hydrangeas
along with the stapled Vintage Velvet Leaves
from the Dogwood package.

I added one of the
G45's Christmas Carol Chipboard
to finish off the tag!

Finally to "Bag Tag" #3!

This was actually the first "Bag Tag" I created!
I began by only cutting out one new tag from
G45's Christmas Carol ~ Seasonal Sentiments.
I chose to paint the G45's Large Tag ~ Ivory
with Perfect Paints ~ Rainstorm.

I applied Perfect Paints Dried Cranberry through
TCW ~ Bee on Time stencil.
Then I created in a concoction of 
Perfect Paints ~ Bright Gold and
Perfect Glaze Medium....Loving the look!

I used a mixture of
Petaloo's Sugared Botanica Blooms,
Minis and Pick, 
along with Vintage Velvet Dogwoods.

The Petaloo Blooms look so BEAUTIFUL when 
matched with G45's A Christmas Carol papers!

I can't wait to decorate my gift bags with 
these "Bag Tags" and to 
see the eyes of the receivers!
That's what this holiday season is 
ALL ABOUT!

 

 

Autumn Tag

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here and for today's post, I'm sharing with you all a tag which I've created using tons of gorgeous burlap flowers by Petaloo.

I've colored the burlap flower in the above picture using some paints. These burlap flowers are so easy to customize to fit any kind of projects.

This is such a fun tag to create. Hope you all like it.

Petaloo Products Used:

Burlap Leaves - Fall Mix (5001-300)

Burlap Poinsettias - Ivory (1224-200)

Canvas Sunflower Mini - Ivory (5002-200)

Burlap Picks - Ivory (1204-200)

Crochet Lace Trim - Aqua (1482-129)

Halloween Blues Greeting Card

Hey there Paper Peeps! Ginny here and  I'm excited to share a fun halloweeny project today with vintage images, layered patterned papers, and gorgeous Petaloo flowers.  I used non-traditional colors for the holiday inspired by the background color from the image.  Because why be normal?
That little boy is sweet and charming I could not resist creating a project with him. The tag in the background was inked and stamped and embossed with more traditional Halloween colors. Not too much of it is peeking out so as not to distract from the focal image.

The texture on these burlap flowers is amazing! I filled in a small arrangement here with some black burlap string to help fill in the space.

Another little arrangement for the top corner here with coordinating silk ribbon.

From this angle you can see them embossing a bit better. I used a flat black for the spider web and a clear gloss on the die cut frame.  I utilized a white doily to break of the focal images from the background which were all in a similar color tone and was looking a bit washed out.

A few embellies like the metal clip and buttons really wraps this card up and balances the large flowers.

Back to School Vintage Inspired Lunch Pail

Hey there Paper Peeps! Well we're still sharing loads of fabulous back to school project inspiration here at Petaloo and I'm so excited to show off my Vintage Inspired Lunch Pail.   I used a store bought case with a great little handle and metal clasp so I could skip right to the fun part....adding layers of patterned papers and gorgeous Petaloo flowers. Of course you can't carry your lunch in it.....but wouldn't it be super sweet to display on a shelf and store small keepsakes from the school year???

I'm pretty smitten with how it turned out. This vintagy paper goes so well with the flowers.

It's easy to go overboard with papers on cases like these so I just added a few layers on the sides where you would naturally change patterns like on the lid.

I will always love plaids and stripes together. It's just so classic. Incorporating the ruler border at the bottom helps to offset the visual heaviness of the striped lid.

I love  the red tone of the Anenome...it's just a bit darker so it coordinate really well with the vintagy patterned papers. I'm adding Darjeeling Mini Garden Rosettes to lighten up the arrangement along with the leaves from the package and some trims and twine.

All the layers are attached using spacers between to add a lot of depth and dimension.

This clasp and handle will make it easy to collect and save keepsakes from school. The flat bottom will keep it standing upright to make a fabby vintage display.

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!

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

Summer layouts and DIY flowers

Maggi here to share two summer layouts with you today, both using Petaloo's awesome DIY flowers. 

 

I used Graphic 45's Safari Adventures on this first layout to scrap photos I took at the Miami Zoo where it's always summer!  I had a blast dying my flowers to match the tropical imagery in this collection.  These flowers are so great because you can easily dye them using mists or other coloring agents.

 

I colored the salmon colored flowers by simply spraying them with my mist. To color the yellow largest flower, I first misted it with yellow and then I painted on a little red mist on the ends of the petals. Then I quickly blotted with a paper towel so that the color effect would be subtle.

 

For this flower, I gave it an all over misting with yellow, then I sprayed a little red mist on my craft mat and tipped my paintbrush in it, and painted the flower center and touched the flower tips.

 

 

I just touched these sweet little blooms with a hint of red while they were still damp from the yellow mist and blotted with a paper towel to keep the effect subtle.

First, a big thank you to Simple Stories for these bright summery papers that I used to create this family reunion layout!   I used the same technique on this layout to color the flowers. I love that so many of Petaloo's flower styles are available as DIY flowers and that picks are also available! 

 

 

I've used leaf picks in this floral cluster along with textured layers and canvas dogwoods.   All of these products absorb color so well.

 

 

Oops, one little gerber daisy that was already colored slipped in here.  ☺

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!

 

 

That is it for today. Make sure to check out our Facebook, there is always something fun and creative there! Take care and Happy Scrapping!

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
