July projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans!

Vera Shelemekh is here and I'm completely ready to share Wanderlust inspiration with you. This month I've made an experiment. I've used products from the new Blue Fern Studios release only. This was so fun and I love the result.

My first layout is about family vacation. I used Wanderlust - Pacific Coast as background.

I decorated the lo with some cut elemennts from Wanderlust - Souvenir and Wanderlust - Calling Card.The picture is framed with the Wanderlust - Printed Chipboard.

 I painter the background with watercolors and the Embossing Powder - Summer Breeze and applied some stamping with the new stamps.

The title is the Great Outdoors chipboard with Wanderlust Lilies in the middle.

Summer Breeze by Tracy Funk

We still have one more layout from our July Blue Fern Fan of the Month to share with you.  I think Tracy just might have saved the best for last.  The colors she has used are absolutely beautiful! It has been our pleasure to share her layouts with you this month.   Each one of them is filled with inspiration and her use of Blue Fern products is amazing. Thanks so much, Tracy, for sharing your vintage look and creative style with us.

  Here is Tracy to tell you all about her layout:

"Summer Breeze" is my final layout for Blue Fern Studios as their fan of the month for July.  It features a photo of  my husband's grandmother, Audrey.  I had a wonderful time working with Blue Fern Studios products this month.

For this layout I used papers from the Garden Life collection.  I used the back of the Calling Cards paper as the background and the back of the Flower Bed paper for the die-cuts.

I did some random stamping on the background with dark grey ink using the Tattered Newsprint stamp.

I used several pieces of Blue Fern Studios chipboard (Dangled Lace, Garden Daisies-small and Layering Stems).

I coated the Dangled Lace piece with matte medium, then applied white crackle paint. When that was dry, I brushed it with black artisan powder, wiping off the excess with a damp cloth and then rubbed it with a bit of orange ink.

I painted the Garden Daisies grey and then brushed watery white paint over the petals.  I glued a mixture of beads in the center of each flower.

I painted the Layering Stems green then applied white glue to the petals and heat-embossed them with orange embossing powder.

I also used some printed chipboard from Blue Fern Studios' Garden Life and Happy Accident collections.

I used some alphabet stamps with dark grey ink to put the name on the printed chipboard piece.


I used the white and peach-coloured Happy Roses and applied orange ink to the edges of the petals.

July inspiration by Wendy Scholten

Hi All,

July is almost at the end, wow how time flies when you are having fun ;-)

And fun i did have with this new gorgeous collection Wanderlust.

In real life it's even better then on the pictures!

Just love this collection, it's so perfect for your (holiday) pictures,

if they are made in the mountains, at the beach or on the water.

I have 2 layouts and a mini album for you this month all featuring the Wanderlust Collection

So let's start with my first layout called:

'Mountain View'

This picture was made in Yangshuo-China where i went with my sister last year on a road trip. Just love those mountains, this was our view from the hotel terras.

I used the Wanderlust- Ocean Voyage paper and the word explore from the calling cards paper.

I used a stencil with moddeling paste and the Departure stamp to create my background.

For my chipboard i used the Natural Frame which i embossed with the oatmeal embossing powder and the Mountain view title with Hot Cocoa embossing powder. I also used a brown frame from the printed chipboard pieces.

Have you seen Blue Fern studios newest product? Their lace is gorgeous, i love to work with lace so i'm very happy they have it now. I used the Lace 3 and the Ivory Braided Trim on this layout. And i cut out a flower from the Lace 1.

The new collection comes with beautiful flowers which match the papers very well, the Wanderlust Lilies, i used one in my flower cluster. And i used a few embellishments from my own stast like a small bottle filled with glitter, a button, small flowers and some chrystals.

And my second layout:

'Explore'

I think this photo is so cute of our daughter with her 2 nieces, they are so fond of eachother, it's so adorable!

I used the Wanderlust Calling Cards paper and the Petites paper.

The only thing i did for my background was using the Departure Stamp. And a few calling cards.

For my chipboard i used the Seaside Frame and the word Explore from the Wanderlust Words.

I embossed them all with the Hot Cocoa embossing powder.

I cut out pieces of the Lace 4 to tuck behind my flower clusters, where i also used a Wanderlust Lilie.

And a piece of the Printed chipboard which i cut in half.

I also used some shells, small flowers, acrylic pebbles and metal embellishments from my own stash.

And this is my mini album in a box:

'Journey'

 It's a chipboard box and album where i used the Wanderlust papers on and a sheet of acrylic paper.

We went sailing on a small boat last summer with our daughter and my family in-law.

She and her nephew had the best time ever!

For the top off the box i used a piece of the Road Trip paper, a piece of the Ivory Braided Trim, the Curling Corner which i cut in half and embossed with the Hot cocoa Embossing powder as well as the word Journey from the Wanderlust Words set, a wanderlust Lilie and some embellishments from my own stash. 

I used some ink on the edges of the box and also the edges from the entire album.

And binded the album with some string.

For the front of the album i used an acrylic sheet behind my cover, so i could use the other piece of the Curling Corner and glue it on there, i embossed it on both sides so the inner side also has color.

I usd the Departure Stamp to give my paper some texture.

A few flowers, a piece of the Lace 3 and a piece of the calling cards paper to finish it.

For the inside pages i used some pieces from the Calling cards, Printed Chipboard, stamps, lace and some other small embellishments, below the last picture you can find a list from what i used in this album.

(My daughter put the shell and flower embellishments before my album, i think she did a good job, it looks good, lol!)

July inspiration by Annie Samson

Hi everyone, 

I am verry excited to share my layouts with you this month.
For my first 2 layouts, I have used the new collection Wonderlust and the last one is made from Garden Life.

EXPLORE

To create my layout, I used the back side or the Petites paper.

I wanted to create a vintage layout about traveling made with an old family picture.

I used one stamp of the Travel time stamp kit and emboss-it with Pearl embossing powder direcly on the paper. 

I used a part of Lace 5 under my picture to add dimention.

I used Avocado embossing powder on my Swallo boarder chipboard.

And I used some Vintage Jade glitter on my Explore title.

Than I had here and there chippies from the coordinated chipboard of Wanderlust collection.

To finish my layout, I haded some flowers from this collection.

Here some close-up to see details and dimention of my layout.

For my second layout, I choose to used the back side of the Mountain view paper.

This time, I wanted to create a more floral and nutural yellow layout.

The Wonderlust Vines were just perfect for this project.

To add texture and dimention to my project, I have used chipboards from the coordinated printed sheet.

I have also used the Circle flourish small chipboard embossing with 14 Karat embossing powder and some pieces of the Floral lattice bites painted in yellow with acrylic paint.

At the end I haded the word Cherish embosed with Wheat ebossing poweder.

Here some close-up to see details and dimention of my layout.

I CAN FLY

For my last layout this month, I wanted to create a layout realised with an outdour picture.

The Back side of the In bloom paper from Garden life collection was perfect for this picture.

I used Mushroom embossing powder on the Rock wall bites chipboard and Avocado embossing powder on the Blooming Foliage chipboard.

Chipies from the coordinate chipboard of Garden Life collection weres used to embellish my layout.

Of course I used some beautiful Blue Fern Studio flowers to decorate my layout.
