Petaloo

Summer Fun Project with Shona

 

Hello Petaloo Fans. Well Summer is here finally and it is camping season. This year I have the joy of having my daughter and grandsons to camp with…and my posts this month are fun things that maybe you can do with the kids. This piece is made with some sticks or driftwood and prettied up with Petaloo!

 

 

Step 1: I got two sticks or small driftwood pieces and wrapped twine around them to secure them together.

 

 

Step 2: Apply some gesso with your finger to give the driftwood a shabby look.

 

 

Step 3: I glued on some gauze and sprayed it all with a soft brown Shimmerz mist.

 

 

Step 4: Time to pretty this piece of wood up with some yummy Petaloo products!

 

 

 Step 5: I tucked in a few seashells and added some Sand Beads and Mica chips to finish it all off.

 

 

Here is the finished project and some close ups.

 

 

I just adore this mix of a Burlap Pick, Mixed Textured Blossoms and Mini Darjeelings.

 

 

 

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

Seashore Treasure Box

Hello, Petaloo Fans!  One of the very best things about summertime is a trip to the beach!  Our kids, and now our grandgirls love nothing better than to stroll along the shore looking for treasures hidden in the sand.  We usually end up with buckets full of shells and pebbles and driftwood.  Once we get home, the items often get shoved into a closet or a shoebox and are forgotten.  But I've designed a cute little seashore treasure box that you can make with your children so that the memories of your time at the beach can be put on display in your home.

 

This is a 4" square paper mache box that is just the right size to hold precious treasures from the sea.  I painted the outside of the box with Picket Fence Distress Paint, then sprinkled it with Distress Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter.  Once it was dry, I sprayed it with a sealant to keep all the glitter from rubbing off.  Then, I sprayed it with Salty Ocean Distress Stain Spray.

 

        

I used papers and images from Graphic 45's Children's Hour paper pads to decorate my box, along with loads of gorgeous ocean hued Petaloo blooms!

 

 

I love to mix and match textures and shades, as well as sizes to lend lots of visual interest in a composition.  On the lid of my seashore treasure box, I've used Teal Petite Botanica ,  Teal Darjeeling Tea Stained Petites, and Robin's Egg Blue Mini Wild Roses.  The mix of blues and greens works so well with the colors in the paper collection and really feel like the sea.

 

The box opens to reveal a little diorama built inside with fussy cut images from the July paper in the 12x12 Children's Hour collection. I've used foam spacers between my fussy cut layers to add lots of dimension here.  I even sprinkled real beach sand onto the bottom of the box.

 

Summer comes and goes in the blink of an eye.  Why not set aside an afternoon and relive all the fun and adventure of time spent by the ocean with your children?  Little hands can pick out shells,  manage the painting and sprinkling of glitter, medium sized hands can fussy cut and  glue layers while Mom handles the glue gun.  You'll build a whole new memory while capturing an old one.  It's a win/win!

You'll find links to products used below this post.

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Now go get your craft on!

Cheerio,

kathy

....and I'm having a party!
and you are invited!!

For my decorations/invitations,
I colored a couple 
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Heirloom papers
Black on Ivory
I used...
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

I also colored
Petaloo's Paintables ~ Dogwood x 24 Canvas
with the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

I cut the colored 12 x 12 paper in half
I cut (7) triangles from the halves.

I then cut a slightly larger triangles out of
Canvas Corp Brands ~ Ivory Burlap.
For interest I added some
vintage lace.

I adhered the layers together. 
Then, I adhered a length of vintage Ric Rac
over top of the banner shapes.
When dry, I adhered

to the Rick Rac.
Then I layered on a
Petaloo Paintables ~ Daisy Layers ~ Ivory
at loopy jute bow
a stapled
Petaloo Paintables ~ Dogwood ~ White leaf
and a colored

(the larger ones) 

I had some of the left~over colored paper
so I created little "banners" for my cake.

I hot glued extra long toothpicks 
to my colored banner pieces.

How cute is that??

This is a GREAT project you could
do with your kids! 
In celebration of this great country...
HAPPY 4th of JULY!!

So let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Ginny Nemchak

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Well hey there Peeps. Such a fun day for me to be sharing the projects I created specially for the Simple Stories / Petaloo Blog Hop.   When I say I love the papers and flower selection I mean I REALLY REALLY LOVE IT!!!  We have had the most brutal seeming to never end winter here in Michigan....in fact it was snowing last week. Today is 87 and my heart is singing!!! These Simple Stories Lines are just too perfect for this time of year with their bright cheery colors and fun whimsical patterns. And the Petaloo flowers are the perfect finishing touch to my projects.

First Project...Sunshine & Happiness Card:

This card was soo much fun to create. It really did bring me sunshine and happiness.

I selected a variety of the Petaloo flowers to coordinate with the paper patterns.

Layering the chipboard stickers allowed me to add quite a few in such a small space. Adding spacers is the key to keeping everything level.  Have to save room for flowers! A simple not too poofy bow in a coordinating raspberry help to anchor the top corner along with the die cut frame.

Petaloo Products:

Flowering BerryPick SKU: 1170-102

Mini Mix Teastained Red:1462-101

Mini Mix Teastained Spice:01462-108

Mini Butter Flies Teastained Red-1486-101

Gerber Daisy Light Pink:1174-101

Other Supplies:

Simple Stories Sunshine & Happiness Collection

Cheery Lynn Die~Swedish Spring Oval Frame

Really Reasonable Ribbon ~Plaid Ribbon Bright Pink

Raspberry Cardstock

While I had the Sunshine & Happiness Collection out I created a tag also....

 

I used similar layering techniques for this tag but instead of using the chipboard I went with the regular stickers and combined the with the cut apart pages, more diecuts, and of course gorgeous Petaloo flowers.

Two smaller arrangements work well for this size tag.  I've also added a more subtly patterned ribbon.

Incorporating a pretty die cut doily in clean crisp white helps to separate some of the busy patterns. Adding spacers between the layers adds depth and give me th opportunity to tuck in some of the blooms.

Petaloo Products:

Mini Butter Flies Teastained Red-1486-101

Mini Mix Teastained Red:1462-101

Mini Mix Teastained Spice:01462-108

Other Supplies:

So let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Kathy Clement

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Remember Summer?  I'm talking about a lazy hazy days and afternoons spent floating in the pool then napping in your favorite hammock and sipping iced tea on the screen porch kind of summer.  Now you're with me, right?  Simple Stories has perfectly captured the spirit of those carefree summer days we all dream about in their new "Bloom and Grow" paper collection.  And I had the best time pairing the papers up with gorgeous summer hued Petaloo flowers in this Porch Rules Altered Clipboard.

 

 

Our new house has the perfect screen porch complete with ceiling fan and a pretty view of our new yard, so I just had to grab this fun paper and dress up an old clipboard with paint, burlap, and posies.  It's a standard sized clipboard, and to start things off, I painted all the edges and the metal hinge with Faded Jeans Distress Paint.  Then I covered the clipboard with this bright summery plaid paper, which was also spattered with paint.

I don't know about you, but I want to spend my summer on a porch where the rules include things like "read a book, take naps, put your feet up and sip iced tea!  To capture that relaxed summer vibe, I stitched the sentiment panel onto some natural burlap, then fringed the edges to add some wonderful texture and dimension.  And what is summer without gorgeous, bright flowers blooming everywhere?  These Darjeeling blooms and butterflies are the perfect color match for these fun papers.

 

Do you see those bountiful blueberries growing in my garden?  Those are Petaloo Botanica Blueberry Picks, and I am in love with them!  I clustered Darjeeling Minis in Yellow, Spice, and shades of blue around my berries, then added a flirty Red Butterfly to the garden.  The shabby bow is custom dyed with Candied Apple, Faded Jeans, and Tea Dye Distress Inks. 

 

This adorable chipboard bird is peeking out from another cluster of flowers.

 

 

I wanted to show you how I cut one of the yellow Darjeeling Minis in half with my scissors so that I could tuck it behind this sentiment cluster.  It's easy to do, and the flower holds together well in spite of having been cut.  I tucked the other half behind into that flowery border in the bottom corner of the clipboard.

 

 

I also used a white Sharpie Paint Pen to add some doodling to the letters.  It gives the paper a real homespun, homemade look that fits right in with this breezy project.

 

I was having such a good time playing with Simple Stories papers and Petaloo that I accidentally ended up creating a second project.  (I blame the Gnome...he is too cute for words, and he lured me into an extended play time!)

 

 See?  How could I resist?  I made a really quick accordion style photo album where you can save all those fabby photos of summertime fun.

 

 

The little flap has a magnetic closure, but I added a burlap string closure for extra strength.  The album is made by joining together 2 strips of 11.5" 6.25" kraft cardstock.  Score every 4.25" and accordion fold.  Make the flap from the overhang.  Easy peasy!

 

On the inside, I created lots of pockets to hold the cute 4" x 6" life cards which are perfect for journaling and photos.  I also made photo mounts with extra kraft cardstock.

 

 

Don't you love the sentiments in this collection?  I know I do!  And the Darjeeling flowers are such a great color match!

 

 

You could easily open this album for display on a mantle or buffet table and tuck summer photos and memories inside as the season progresses.  Then by summer's end, you have captured all the fun moments into one cute package.

 

 

Simple Stories makes it easy to scrapbook, and Petaloo makes it beautiful.  It's a match made in scrapbooking heaven!

 

Here's to summer!  May you find time in the midst of all the hustle and bustle to watch a few sunsets, visit with friends, and take a few naps on the screen porch!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Mom Loves the Beach!

    `Hello, Friends! Happy May Day!  I love the month of May!  It's the gateway to summertime and the month gives us so many reasons to celebrate with its gorgeous weather, beautiful flowers, and fun holidays....like Mother's Day!  I can remember making my mom special cards and little gifts to let her know how much I loved her, and even now, it's a rare Mom who fails to tear up at a handmade gift.  With that in mind, I thought I might share a super cute idea for a hand made Mother's Day gift for those beach loving mome

During our recent move, I found a pasteboard berry box that I'd salvaged from our local farmer's market.  When I received an Authentique "Utopia" Collection pack in my design team package this month, a little light went off in my head, and the idea for this project was hatched.  It's a decorated berry box filled to the brim with beach themed tags, gorgeous Petaloo flowers and Burlap trim.  Wouldn't this look festive on a Mother's Day breakfast tray? 

I coated my berry box inside and out with Studio Matte Multi Medium to give it additional strength and to protect it from spills.  While the medium was still wet, I added  a belly band of blue burlap trim that had also been coated with medium.  To pick up on the tropical colors of the Utopia collection, I layered on Amber Mixed Textured Layered Flowers, Antique Red Mini Burlap Flowers, Pink Canvas Dogwoods, and Antique Blue Canvas Dogwoods.  Every mom loves flowers, and these will last a lot longer than fresh flowers!

I cut 1.5" off Ranger standard manila tags, then covered them with the cute images in the paper collection. Then I added some fun embellies from my stash along with more tropical flowers.  You can never have too many flowers!

The back of each tag has room to write a note, share a memory or post a photo. I love the way the Burlap trims pop with these papers.

The images were so much fun to layer, especially this cute little banner!  Even if Mom is not going to the beach on her special day, you can create that special, laid back, easy going vibe with a gift like this one.

Here, I created my own custom flower using the gorgeous elements from the Petaloo Teal Textured Layers package.  Isn't it yummy?

I absolutely love the texture the fibers add to these tags!

  

I think it would be really fun to make mom a tropical breakfast to go with this beach themed gift box, don't you? 

I spattered these Antique Blue Canvas Dogwoods with a little Dylusions Linen spray, just for fun.

And at the very back of the basket, I tucked in an altered slider box filled with a sweet surprise for Mom.

This was so much fun to "dress up" and I love the pink burlap and Pink Canvas Dogwoods paired together.

The box was just the right size to hold 5 Fun Sized 3 Musketeer bars.  Because while Mom loves the beach, she also loves chocolate! 

And, if you really wanted to knock Mom's socks off, you could throw in a coupon for a beach getaway....just sayin'!

I hope this idea gave you some inspiration for a unique, playful Mother's Day gift.  Serve this up on a tray with a Pina Colada, and Mom will feel just like she's in paradise! 

 

Wishing you all a very happy Mother's Day!

Cheerio,

kathy

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.
