Hi there Petaloo friends, Maggi here.  I love when we get to bloghop with other manufacturers and this month we're bloghopping with Authentique.  I love how Petaloo's gorgeous blooms coordinate so nicely with Authentique's new Utopia collection.  Be sure to stop by Authentique's blog and see what their designers work and  for another chance to win some great prizes!

I used lots of layers from Authentique's Utopia collection to make my photo pop and then added two great Petaloo floral clusters to complete my layout.  Fussy cut leaves, also from the Authentique papers, give my clusters the perfect finish.  The bow is tied from Petaloo trims and I love how it looks with the flower layers!

 

Petaloo's dogwoods layer so nicely around and under other flowers.

 

 

 

Isn't this quote just perfect for my photo?

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

 

A Petaloo Birdie, Guest Designer Cherry Nelson

Hi guys... Cherry back again with another fun Petaloo project!   What is more Spring like than hearing the birds tweetering again?  This time of year we start hanging out the suet for them.  Love to hear and watch them.  That inspired me to create a little dimensional birdie of my own!

 

I started with a wooden bird base and covered her...(it is a her for sure) in blue ticking paper by tracing the image onto the paper.  I adhered the paper to both sides...she has to have a pretty backside.  I than sanded and distressed the edges and added a bit of aging with ink. 

 

From there I added some metal border that I aged and snippets of paper crepe.  Miss birdie started to take on a fun whimsical look.  Ribbons were added along with textured blooms in Ivory and velvet hydrangeas.  She was topped off with a mini bird nest and tea stained tag spelling out nest. 

 

Here she is all ready to take flight!  I think she turned out adorable..what do you think? 

 

 

Thanks for visiting today!  Cherry

Spring Party Favors, Cherry Nelson Guest Designer

Hello there and happy April.   Cherry here visiting today !  So happy to be guesting for Petaloo again.  Are you enjoying your Spring?  It has actually stopped snowing here and the sun is shining.  I have a little project to share that really says "Spring Time" to me. 

I started with a little white berry basket.  Great little base for so many things.  I added handmade paper crepe to the base and top for dimension.  I sprayed it with a colored  mist to give it some subtle coloring.  Ribbons were added along with some amazing flowers from Petaloo and chipboard embellishments from Graphic 45. 

Now that little basket would be nothing special with out a little something to put inside. Right?  I had to create a little mini card to match along with some sweet little glassine bags.  I love the pairing of the textured element blooms with the velvet hydrangeas.  

Here is the basket with the goodies inside.  I don't know about you but I love to see bits and bobs nestled inside something...whether it be cards, tags, fabric scraps....it just encourages you to look a little closer.  Appreciating all the little details...and it is all in the details.  Right? 

 

  Thanks for joining me here on the blog today!  Cherry

Hello Spring Cherry Nelson guest designer

      Well Hello Spring!  Greetings to you!  Cherry here guesting for Petaloo!  I am so excited to share my first project today.  I love the colors that start to come to life during this time of year.  The grass starts to peek out from the snow and the days grow a wee bit warmer.  With that in mind I was inspired by the gorgeous greens in the Botanica collection.  I paired my flowers with the Graphic 45 Children's Hour 6 x 6 Patterns & Solids Pad paper.  I created a little mini banner using Petaloo's Fancy Trims and Graphic 45's alphabet sticker sheet.  I also used the trim to frame out my sweet vintage image to give it more dimension.  I topped my card off with some pretty ribbons and added the rest of my sentiment by layering a sweet mini tag from Graphic 45 along with a "hello" sticker from their sticker sheet.  I anchored them with a mini clothespin for fun.  Now this little cutie is ready to to bring a smile to someone special!  Thanks for visiting today!  Cherry

 

 

 Look at this fun trim from Petaloo ... it's perfect for creating a banner or trimming the edges of a photo!

 

 

I love how the different TEXTURES of Petaloo flowers mix together to create interesting details!  The ivory flower is a Burlap Bloom while the green flowers are velvety Botanica Minis!  How pretty ...

 

 

Petaloo has a great variety of flowers to compliment any of the Graphic 45 papers .... 

 

 

A couple different angles of my card with all the wonderful details!!

A Spring Altered Vase

Maggi here to wish you a very happy spring! I love this time of year when flowers start peeking their heads up from the ground and the landscape is dotted with rafts of color.  Here in North Carolina we are treated to banks of azaleas  backed by dogwoods, towered over by stately pines.  Cherry blossoms and ornamental pears are blooming every where, so of course, you need a pretty vase to bring a bit of this loveliness into your home.  Today I am sharing a simple vase that I altered to capture that spring beauty.

 

 

 

This is really a quick and simple project that you could even let your kiddos help you with.  I started out with a simple and inexpensive vase from Michaels.

 

I used a dropper to drip white gesso on my vase.  I simply dropped white gesso  near the top of the vase and let it drip down the sides.  I also painted the green twine white that is wrapping the neck of the vase. 

 

 

 After the gesso dried, I tied some Petaloo fibers around the neck and then added my blooms.

 

I used a Spellbinders Romantic Vines die to cut some greenery to tuck in with my beautiful Petaloo blooms.

To finish it off, I added a little Stickles in crystal around the edges of the flowers and stickled the white gesso drips just a bit.  It's too bad that Stickles don't show up very well in a photo, so you'll have to trust me on this one, it added a really pretty sparkle to my project.

Hello all of you Petaloo fans out there in cyber world!! I am here today to share a little project I made using some little Wal-mart finds. My mom found them for me to use. Well they wasn't that pretty.. Nice.. But not that pretty.. So what is a girl to do?! PETALOO!! Yup! Petaloo makes every project wonderful and come to life. From the flowers to the trims and everything in between!! I enjoyed playing sooo much! Here is the project...

 

 

The little arrangement was just eggs and a few sprigs of plastic foliage. The base was just burlap.. Ahhh Burlap! Well Petaloo has gorgeous Burlap Blooms!! Oh and trims too!! I added a little bit of the cream Burlap trims with some of the Crochet Lace and trims in cream as well. This made the base look soooo much better! Love the delicate antique feel it has now. I also use the Lace trims in taupe on the top of the little bird house. This tied in well with the base. All that was left to do was remove those plastic sprigs and a egg and add my bird house. I did rearrange the burlap that was already in the arrangement, this was a perfect bed for my birdhouse to go on top of.. Next was the super fun part of adding in the gorgeous Burlap and Canvas blooms!! I couldn't forget the sweet little butterfly either! He was the cherry on top of a sweet spring arrangement! Here are a few close ups of the details..

 

 

Next time you're out, and about, and see a little decoration that could use some Petaloo TLC, pick it up!! I don't think you would be disappointed at all!! :)

Thank you so much for joining me today!
