Too Cute to Spook Halloween Banner

Hello, Friends! It's Kathy here with a Too Cute to Spook Halloween Banner. I was digging around in the Closet of Shame and found some adorable Graphic 45 Happy Hauntings paper. This collection has always been a favorite because of the sweet vintage Halloween images. I spent a fun afternoon cutting, sewing, spritzing and gluing this one together.

I went with a classic orange and black color palette with just a few pops of green and purple to jazz things up a bit. I wanted to really load the banner up with all kinds of pretty ribbons and flowers, but only had 2 sort of orange flowers in my Petaloo stash. No problem! It was a piece of cake to alter these pretty posies with a little Glimmer Mist. Now I have custom dyed flowers to match my papers. Sa-weet!

Even though these were NOT DIY flowers, I found that they took the mists very well and held their shape with no problems. I used Tattered Angels Jack-o-Lantern and Peach Delight to color all the flowers you see here. Some only required a tiny spritz, like the Peach Botanica Bloom on the left. The burlap sunflowers in the top left corner were originally yellow, but you'd never know that now, would you? Same thing goes for the Canvas Mini Sunflowers!

These green Darjeeling Dahlias and Cream Cherry Blossoms offer a nice contrast to the orange and black color palette. I did spritz the Dahlias with a little mist.

Mini banner flags sit between the larger pennants. I added little silver charms with baker's twine.

Fall Mix Burlap Leaves make a great base for my flower clusters.

I covered the itty bitty magnifying glass with clear acrylic packaging then added a not too spooky spider and gold glass glitter inside.

Halloween is spooky sweet when you dress it up with vintage images, wonderful ribbons and pretty, pretty Petaloo flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

Welcome Fall with Petaloo DIY Flowers

Hello, Friends!

Fall is my absolute most favorite time of the year. I love the colors, the crisp air, the falling leaves, fields of pumpkins and the gorgeous shade of blue that the sky takes on. I love the warmth that fall decor adds to my home, too. And Petaloo DIY flowers are the perfect accent for fall crafting.

This simple pennant shaped wall hanging is decorated with DIY Small Burlap Sunflowers and DIY Burlap Butterflies and Blossoms. I used Tattered Angels Jack O'Lantern, Peach Delight, Bronze and Olive Vine Glimmer Mists to color the petals. I love the fact that I was able to color match the Authentique Harvest papers.

A Canvas Corp Brands banner base was covered with designer paper. Then I upcycled the packaging from a Graphic 45 Ornate Drawer Pull and layered it on top. I flipped the drawer pull upside down and used it as a vase for these vintage sweet brown canvas roses.

I tapped the metal finish of the drawer pull with Ranger Vintaj Moss, Patina and Jade to give it an aged copper look. While I was at it, I added some to the upcycled tag and the rose petals, too. The twine wreath draws the eye to the vintage focal image. And I got lucky while walking at the park the other day and found a double acorn cluster that I added to the mix.

Are you getting ready for fall at your house? What sort of decor do you pull out? I think the gorgeous texture and ability to customize these DIY flowers make them brilliant for fall home decor.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

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!

Happy Birthday USA!

....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
Canvas Corp Brand ~ White Ties & Tags
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
Petaloo Paintables ~ Dogwood ~ White
(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!!

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.

Petaloo Supplies:

Dahlias x 10 Teastained Cream 1467-105

DIY-Mixed Testured Layers x 12 Ivory 1650-012

DIY-Daisy Layers x 15 Burlap/Canvas 1650-020

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. ☺

Let's get the party started with our Petaloo DT member ... Maggi Harding

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

What fun I had making this little scene here to celebrate Father's Day for my husband. He's a real grease monkey as his hobby is building streetrods. Now, the best thing about that is he can NEVER say a word about my scrappy spending habits because building streetrods is way more expensive!

So, I borrowed that cut little vintage gas tank from his miniature car collection and using a Canvas Corp 6 x 6 canvas; I "parked" an old car in a field of Petaloo blooms beside the tank! The first step in creating my canvas was to paint the canvas with a thick coat of white gesso so that my mist and masking would be easier to apply. After the gesso dried, I misted the canvas with both silver and suede Glimmer Mist. Next came some stenciled on bricks. Then the fun part, dying the flowers, adding the photo and the fun embellishments.

All the flowers I used are Petaloo DIY meaning that they are made especially for coloring as they all come white. I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to color them in fun shades of silver and red. These flowers are so easy to color and it's great that you can perfectly match your blooms to your project!

Car canvas, Petaloo DIY blooms, Maggi Harding1

Canvas Corp makes a fun Paper Banner Kit and I used that to create my banner that I covered with Canvas Corp burlap. Then I topped off each banner with strips of Canvas Corp paper and heat embossed gears. I spelled out the name using Tattered Angels High Impact Paint. and sme really old foam stamps. That is great paint, it worked great on the burlap.
