Memories Captured by Marta Lapkowska

Hello everyone,
It's Marta Lapkowska here.
I hope you are doing great.
I am back to you with my new page and full video tutorial. 
You can see my creative process step by step.

As you ca see this is very magical page. I wanted to recreate the forest and dreamy scenry from the photo. I added some dry moss, thread to build my page.


I love the colours of Deja Vu paper collection, so soft and elegant. My favourite way of altering the chipboards is to emboss them with white embossing powder.

I hope you will enjoy my creating process. Have fun !

Moments in Time with Jelissa

Hi everyone!

Where has all the time gone to? We're already in the month of May and I'm happy to share a layout I created for Blue Fern Studios using the gorgeous new Deja Vu collection.

Here is the project:


I picked these papers from the collection as they matched the colors from my photo quite perfectly. It's one of the very few of me with my kids as I'm usually the one behind the camera.

Here are some close-ups:


Layering gorgeous Blue Fern Studios chipboards with the papers and burlap. I had used quite a number of mediums for this page and the chipboards and some of you have already asked for the colors as well. These can be found in my personal blog post.




My title piece, from "Petite Cartes", and more layering with chipboard, papers and lace.




My usual floral cluster.


Some details of the lace and chipboard, which I colored to look like the background paper.


Mini tags made from "Petite Cartes" cut-out.

And here is the start to finish video of how I put this whole page together:



Blue Fern Studios products used:

Deja Vu collection - Petite Cartes, Friperies
Chipboards - Chelsea Vines, Ironworks Medley, Tangier Page Panel
Vintage Edges stamp set

And that's all I have for today. Have a great day ahead!

'Happy' by Marta Lapkowska + VIDEO tutorial

Hello crafty souls :)
It's Marta here with my very first video tutorial just for you.

 
Firstly I would like to say how happy I am joining Blue Fern Studios team. I hope to inspire you with my video tutorials and welcome you in my mixed media world.

I was born and raised in Poland. I am currently living in Ireland and have been for nearly ten years.
I graduated as a Sociologist from Wroclaw University in Poland. I am a proud mum of a beautiful girl Emily. My inner soul is trully a creative person. Since I remember I have loved art, craft, creations and have a passion for innovative techniques.
My craft journey started from making cards for close relatives. Slowly I was trying new things, learning new techniques. After all I fall in love with mixed media and journaling. I adore teaching people and share my knowledge.
I love playing around, experimenting and creating unique pieces.
From cards and tags to layouts, mixed media canvases, journal pages and altered objects.
For the past three years art and craft is my way of living - so far it's the best journey I could have imagined.

Dreaming with You & Me

Hello friends!

We are now into the second month of 2015 and it's my turn on the Blue Fern Studios blog today to share my creations with their fabulous products. For today's post, I'm going back to my favourite collection Ombre Dreams.

Here is the layout I made of my two boys (who else?):


As usual, layering different BFS chipboard pieces and papers from the Ombre Dreams collection. As you watch the video, you would also have noticed that I changed the order of my workflow. Instead of working on the background first, I am now starting with the chipboards then my layers, so that I can use that bit for working out the best way to create the background. 

Some close-ups:






And here is my start-to-finish video:


Blue Fern Studios products used:

Ombre Dreams papers - Joyce's Dream, Charlotte's Dream, Dream Cards, Shannon's Dream
Chipboards - Graduated Squares, Printer's Bits


That's all I have for today, thanks for dropping by!

love,

Elena Morgun wiht a video tutorial

Hello!

Elena Morgun here, to share with you my first video as an Educator for Blue Fern Studios, and I am so excited to join this amaizng team!
But first a little about myself:

I'm 25 years old. I live in Ukraine. I am a happy mother to 2 lovely kids.
Scrapbooking is a huge part of my life, and it is more than a hobby by now. I can not imagine my day without scrapping. I am happy to share my tips and knowledge in my tutorials.
I am constantly learning new things. I am playing with new techniques and materials all the time. I am open to the experiments and you can often see their results in my creations. One of the most distinctive characteristics of my style is that I love mixing dark grunge accents with the tender flowers and lace.
I’m delighted to be joining Blue Fern Studios on this new journey!

I hope you enjoy my creations!
