Dad's Day Card

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here. Today, I would like to share a Dad's Day card with you all. I've used the beautiful Maja Design pattern papers with gorgeous Petaloo flowers to create this card. I tried to keep the design of this card simple.

Below are some detail shots of this card.

It is so easy to create a beautiful cluster of flowers using these gorgeous Penny Lane blossoms.I've added more textures using some burlap pieces.

Hope you all like this card and see you all again soon!

Hello everyone! It's Irene here and today's is my turn to share with you all my project for this product spotlight with Maja Design and Petaloo! Have you thought about having a vintage summer party for this Summer? Today, I've created an easy centerpiece to decorate your party tables with. I've used Maja Design gorgeous pattern papers with beautiful Petaloo Penny Lane flowers to create a feminine vintage paper umbrella.

I actually saw an instructional origami video on how to create this paper umbrella and thought that I should give it a try and add my own twist to it in decorations. Here are more pictures of this paper umbrella.

This umbrella are able to close and open when needed. I've added tons of flowers and trims to it, to create that vintage feminine look.

I've used several different sizes of Penny Lane flowers to create clusters on this paper umbrella.

Thank you for stopping by and hope to see you all again soon!

Maggi's Furbabies!

Petaloo loves Pets!  We're celebrating by giving away a 10 pc Petaloo Prize package, enter here!

 

 

 

Maggi here today, and I'm sharing a layout I did of my sweet furbabies, Nika and Tisha.  They love each other so much and they're always together, sleeping, playing or begging!  🐩 😍

While I was at Creativation in Phoenix I stopped by the Fabscraps booth and visited with Bea and Cait.  Knowing that they are dog lovers like me, I showed them this sweet photo and  they said you must scrap this photo with our new collection, Lavender Breeze.  And WOW, it worked so perfectly with my photo!

Even better, Petaloo's Briar Roses look fabulous with this collection. The purples and lavenders go so perfectly with the papers.  I tucked in some Cheery Lynn Designs diecuts to finish off my clusters.

 

These hearts are diecuts that are included in the collection and I thought they looked really great nestled in with my Petaloo blooms.

Pink Cheery and Festive Cards For Valentine's Day

 

 

 

 

Jennifer Snyder here sharing some Valentine's cards for February, the month of sweetness.  I have two cards adorned in pink - both gussied up with Petaloo's gorgeous pink flowers.   I think the happy cheery pink is a perfect balance to the dull chill of winter.  

 

This is a sweet dainty card showing the flirty side of Petaloo.  Along with the pretty Petaloo crocheted trims in white and fuchsia, I used the following Petaloo flowers to embellish this card: 

Petaloo Textured Elements -  Briar Rose Canvas in Red 

 and the new Petaloo Ranunculus flowers in pink ( aren't they fabulous!)

Creating this card was easier than you think.  Here are a few simple steps I took to make this card: 

 

I stamped an image onto watercolor paper so that I could paint the dress. 

I used watercolor paper because it is heavy and will absorb the water from the paints.  Regular cardstock or patterned paper is not as durable when water is applied and tends to get mushy and disintegrate.  

I selected an ink that would not bleed or run when water is applied.  

 

After my image was stamped, I simply blotted watercolors onto the paper.  Easy!  No real skill needed.  

 

Here is another close up of the Petaloo Textured Elements -  Briar Rose Canvas in Red 

 and the new Petaloo Ranunculus flowers.  The new collections are just gorgeous and shipping soon. 

 

My second card is equally bright and cheery.  It's a shaker card.  Who wouldn't love to receive a shaker card in the mail?  

 

 I used the following Petaloo flowers to embellish this card: 

Petaloo Textured Elements -  Briar Rose Canvas in Red 

Petaloo Botanica Baby Blooms in White - RS5007-100/4

The flowers make quite a statement on this card I think.  

 

Thanks for stopping here. Have a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with love from your friends and family.

Hi there Petaloo peeps, Maggi here and I am so excited that the Petaloo team is blog hoppin' with Graphic 45 and Xyron this week.  We've had the beautiful St Nicholas collection from Graphic 45 and some wonderful sticky products from Xyron to work with!

My sweet poodle Nika needed a Christmas stocking so I made this one for her!  I used Graphic45's new Christmas collection, St Nicholas, to cut out the cuff and toe pieces for the stocking and added a tag & banner from the collection at the cuff and heel. 

 

Xyron sent us some great sticker makers and tape runners to use that are the perfect solution for those tiny parts that you need to adhere.  I fussy cut tiny holly clusters and a a Santa hat and ran them through the 1 1/2" sticker maker and adhered to my diecut poodle.  Loved it!  I didn't get glue all over everything like I usually do and it stayed stuck.  Now that's the perfect adhesive for me.

 

I made my cuff by first cutting a piece of St Nicholas plaid for the cuff and toe.  Then I added a Santa tag and banners from the Graphic 45 St Nicholas collection.  The letters actually came from another G45 collection, Raining Cats and Dogs but over those letters I added some banners from the St Nicholas collection.  I used my Xyron sticker maker to turn those banners into little stickers too. Petaloo crocheted lace was perfect to accentuate the cuff before adding my floral cluster.  Ohhh I totally love Petaloo's pinecone & berry picks that I tucked under those beautiful burlap poinsettias and briar roses.

That sweet poodle is a diecut. I used Ranger Antiquities Weathered White embossing powder to make the curly look on the poodles body. That is a great product when you want a grainy textured look.
