Petaloo

Fall Project with Petaloo

Hi there! Today, I'm going to share with you all a Fall inspired project where I've used the gorgeous Botanica flowers by Petaloo. I'm so in love with this collection. The dried flowers look is so perfect for a Fall project. I've altered an acrylic frame using tons of these flowers. Check out the close-ups below.

These flowers formed amazing clusters on this frame. It adds tons of warmth and colors to it. I've also used the berries to add different shapes and details to the clusters.

Petaloo Supplies Used:

Botanica Blooms - Cranberry/Amber/Orange (1102-003)

Floral Ephemera - Amber (1100-203)

Botanica Berry Clusters - Red/Green/Burgundy (1104-001)

Botanica Minis - Cranberry/Amber/Orange (1101-003)

Trim Asst - Shades of Beige (1910-101)

Thanksgiving DIY Petaloo Clothespin Names

Usually I never, ever make Thanksgiving Crafts. Why? I manage a grocery store and pretty much the day after Halloween starts the busiest time of year for us. So my crafting is at a minimal! But this year a broken ankle has temporarily sidelined me, so I am really enjoying getting some fall crafting in! I love clothespin crafts and being tasked with an easy Fall Craft, I knew clothespins were the way to go. But after I made them- I wanted something fun to hang them on until turkey day, so I added a little hanger for them. I used a linen hanger, but you can use any wire hanger and just bend it into the square shape. 

You will need- enough clothespins for the number of guests you have-a hanger-a sheet of cardstock-some small stick on alphas and some Petaloo Flowers (supply list at end)

First I measured the clothespins. 3 Inches by 5/16ths! But measure yours they are allprobably a little different

Next I sprayed using some Colorbox Spritzers- you could also use any ink. I like the Clearsnaps Crafters Ink- for wood and fabric. You can also just leave them plain!

While your pins are drying-cut out your strips. Its easiest to cut out a long 3 inch long strip first, then snip at 5/16. I used a red marker to make a tiny dot where 5/16 was.

Next I ran my strips through my Xyron Create A Sticker, you could also use a tape runner, or even some white glue.

Next stick on your alphas, you can also use a Provo Craft Letter Stamp or a colored Sharpie and write it yourself

Next Hot Glue on your flowers. You can also use glue dots or white glue. I liked how the leaves looked on two of the flowers, so I just borrowed some leaves from another pack of Petaloos! (not Pictured- I took some brown Crafters Ink and inked the edges of the alpha stickers)

Okay, so part two I wasn't going to even show because I was trying to keep it simple- but I was so happy with how it came out I had to share. All I did was take a piece of muslin and traced out the shape from my hanger. I then blanket stitched the edge with embroidery floss. I stamped OUR GUESTS with Crafters Ink. I added the Botanica Flowers with Hot glue. I took some of the images from Graphic 45 Place in Time and added them a top some tulle. Then took my heat gun to the tulle to distress it.

Here are some ideas of how you can use your Thanksgiving Name Tags.

Here are the supplies: Petaloo Flowers, embellishments and some "Authentique" papers"

step by step...

step 2: tape gold string loop to hang from it on top and on bottom a gold string with some jingle bells

For my 1st "Petaloo's" Official post,
and their "Blog Hop" with "Authentique" papers

I made a

"Diagonal Double Pocket Fold Card"

 

These card I like to call it a "hybrid", because it is a card and a mini scrapbook book at the same time...with several pockets, wonderful to display photos, tags, small notes and it is small enough to be send in a envelope...

when you open the card, you can have space to place lots of tags or photos...
the right side of this card has 3 pockets
1- a small front one made with a frame and double side tape to tuck inside small tags
2- and you have 2 big diagonal pockets made from folds...for bigger tags or photos...

and here is the back

 

For this card I used flowers and trims from "Petaloo"

The papers are from "Authentique -Grateful collection kit"

this "Authentique - Grateful" collection comes with lots of wonderful pattern papers, with 3 sheets of tags, stickers and enhancements/die cuts...

all the yummie food and 
great company!

I had diecut some Ivy from the "Kindred" paper
and painted on a bit of Shimmering Matte Artist Acrylic.

The verbage on Authentiques

~~ ~~ ~~

Hello everyone, Stacy here with you today.  Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you are enjoying all of the amazing projects created by the design team using the fabulous Petaloo and Authentique products.

This time i'm sharing a mini album that I created for Fall.  This Grateful collection from Authentique is amazing and the Petaloo products totally rock with this collection.  I am loving all of the fall colors with this fabulous combo of products!!

Here is the front of my mini album.

The album itself is a Basically Bare album that I had in my stash.  I cut the pattern paper 1/4" smaller, then inked it with Ranger Distress Ink (walnut stain) and adhered it to the front with my Xyron Mega Runner.  I took the Petaloo goodies and placed them all along the left side of the album.  Once I was happy with how it looked I placed them down on the cover with my Xyron liquid glue. I used Petaloo Darjeeling Leaves Small, Darjeeling Mini Mix, Darjeeling Hydrangea, and Darjeeling Medium Mix.  I tied some of the Crochet Lace Trim around the album to have it hang around the side of the album.

There is plenty of room to place photos inside of the mini album as well as space to write about why you are thankful this Holiday season.

Supplies Used:

Petaloo - Darjeeling Collection (Medium Mix, Hydrangea, Mini Mix and Leaves Small) Crochet Lace Trim

Authentique - Grateful Collection

Xyron - Mega Runner, liquid glue

Ranger - Distress Ink (walnut stain)

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today, hope you have a fabulous day!!

Hi everyone, Denis Hahn here and I have been wanting to make a scrapbook of my families Thanksgiving recipes forever. When I got Authentiques "Grafteful" Collection kit to play with, I knew it would make the perfect little recipe keeper. I bound it with wooden spoons and bakers twine. The pages are actually little folders. I made them by cutting a 12x12 sheet of paper to 9x12, then folded up three inches, creating 3 pages that were 6x12 inch- Then just fold those in half and you have three pocket folder pages. I wrote my recipes on manila tags, with ingredients on front and directions on back. I used a Petaloo Vintage Dazzler on the fornt cover and then loaded it up with flowers. What a great memento and it would make an even greater gift for family memebers.

Petaloo:

Darjeeling Medium Mix x6 Burgundy Creams and Greens

Darjeeling Hydrangeas x24 Burgundy Creams and Greens

Authentique Grateful Paper Kit

Bakers Twine- The Twinery Flax Stripe

 

When leaves are falling

Hi everybody! Helena here to share some Petaloo inspiration with you. I have created a fall layout and a Welcome canvas, using lots of beautiful Botanica flowers and Textured flowers.

One of the things I love about fall are all the amazing colors - yellow, orange, green and brown - together they create a beautiful color palette. I have used all these colors for my November layout:

I arranged Botanica Ephemera around my photo and then added more Botanica flowers and some Textured flowers. They work wonderfully together!

Here are a couple of close-ups:

I have painted the flowers with a bit of white gesso, using a sponge.

Another thing I love about fall is that you can cuddle up inside next to the fireplace and spend time with family and friends. In our family we love to play boardgames, eat together and just have fun. To welcome guests in our house, I made this canvas to put up in our hall way:

I have painted the canvas with gesso, used a stencil and texture paste to create a background pattern, misted with red mist and finally arranged lots of gorgeous Petaloo flowers - Botanica and Textured. I have then painted everything with white gesso.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you all are having a wonderful fall and Thanksgiving holiday!

/Helena
