May Inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans,
Summer is almost here and I've started getting ready for the travel season.
Today I've prepared some amazing sea inspired projects and one more layout for my wedding album. I promissed myself to create at least one per month.

But first let's dive deep into my seaside memories.
Here is the layout with the picture taken a couple of years ago in Porec (Croatia). This year we are traveling to the same place so I will have some more wonderful photos to scrap )


Some yellow and blue make the page really bright. I've used water colors and Starry night embossing powder.

 The chipboard tree is embossed with Mushroom powder.



There are some extra detailes stamped with Travel time stamp set (including the title)

And here is my traditional off the page project. This month it is amazing sea photo album with the veriety of Blue Fern Studios flowers and papers.
How I love the mix of flowers, lace and wooden parts. They look really amazing on the jeans cover.

 The construction remind of a folder.

A Fairy Good Life

The second project from our August Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Mariusz Gierszewski, is this very soft and magical layout.  Mariusz has beautifully used the frame of the paper as the base for this lovely design.  The chipboard, flowers and fussy cutting create a very eye-pleasing design for this sweet infant photo.




Here is what Maruisz had to say about this layout:

Another work in which I could bring you closer shabby style. I prepared at the begining chipboards by embossing powder and cut many emablishments from other papers. After that I start to build composition of fabric flowers in the corner and more or less oposite/middle side. On the top flowers I add the gesso. On the end I add few printed chipboard pieces from collection the all corners, and to decorate layout. Balance and harmony formed an integral whole.

Paper

Chipboard:
Circle Vine

Other:

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.



List of Blue Fern Studios Products Used:

Garden Life - Calling Cards paper
Garden Life - Flower Bed paper
Happy Roses
Garden Life - Printed Chipboard
Happy Accident - Printed Chipboard
Dangled Lace chipboard
Garden Daisies (small) chipboard
Layering Stems chipboard
Tattered Newsprint stamp


Thank you again to Blue Fern Studios for giving me this opportunity to work with their beautiful products.

Party Dress by Tracy Funk

Welcome to Wednesday, everyone!  We are back with another project from our July Blue Fern Fan of the month, Tracy Funk, using the Garden Life Collection.  This photo from the 60's brings back memories for some of us!



I'm happy to be back with my third layout for Blue Fern Studios as their "Fan of the Month" for July. It's called "Party Dress" and features a photo of my sister, Linda, in 1965.

For this layout, I used the In Bloom paper from the Garden Life collection for the background and some cream-coloured cardstock for the doily die-cuts.


I used the Flutter Medley and Bohemian Flowers chipboard pieces. I heat-embossed the Flutter Medley with embossing powder and rubbed some white paint overtop.  I didn't like the contrast that created so I did a wash of watery white paint overtop to tone it down.  I applied golden yellow glitter glue to the butterflies.  When that was dry I squeezed some white glue on the interior portions of the wings and sprinkled it with Sunlight Rose Imagine Ink Embossing Powder before heat setting it.




The Bohemian Flowers were painted white and embossed with Baby Pink Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.



I also used a couple of pieces of printed chipboard from the Garden Life collection.





I used some of Blue Fern Studios' Garden Florals, Garden Blooms and Happy Roses as well.




Blue Fern Studios Products used:

Garden Life paper - In Bloom
Flower Medley chipboard
Bohemian Flowers chipboard
Garden Life - printed chipboard
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder - Sunlight Rose

Waiting for the Bus by Tracy Funk

Today we welcome back our July Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Tracy Funk.   
She has a super sweet layout to share with you today.  



I'm so pleased to be back with my second layout as the Blue Fern Studios "Fan of the Month" for July. It's called "Waiting for the Bus" and features a photo of my sister Lori in 1960.

I used papers from Blue Fern Studios' Garden Life and Happy Accident collections.

On the Wallflowers paper that I used for the background I did some stencilling around the edges with molding paste.  While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled it with Baby Pink Imagine Ink embossing powder and heat set it.





I painted the Spirit of Heartland chipboard piece blue then applied watery white paint overtop with a sponge stippler.  I used an embossing marker to ink the flower parts and heat embossed them with the Baby Pink Imagine Ink embossing powder.  I also inked around the edge in black.





I also used a piece of Blue Fern Studios printed chipboard (one of the corner pieces).




I used the Garden Blooms flowers.



Products used:

Garden Life paper - Wallflowers
Garden Life paper - Merriment
Happy Accident paper - Lucky
Baby Pink Embossing Powder

July Inspiration by Babi

Hi Everyone,

Today it's my turn to share with you my new projects with the gorgeous Wanderlust and Garden Life Collections.

I used the PetitesCalling Cards and Road Trip paper for my first project, called "Travel".


Then created some texture on the fisrt paper using stencil, modeling paste and departure stamp.


Next, I covered the Seashell chipboard with Avocado and Antique Gold embossing powder.  For the title, I used Wanderlust Words covered in  Antique Gold embossing powder. 


I finished my project with different collections of flowers from Blue Fern Studios. I also added  laces and gesso to create more dimension.

------------------------

For my second project I decided to create another beach layout called " Explore".  
I created the background by cutting the steering wheel from the Mermaid paper, and gluing  it with foam tape for more dimension. 


Then proceeded to emboss the Seaside Seashells and Seaside Tresures  chipboards with Snow and Oatmetal embossing powder. Afterwards, I heated and painted some of the chipboards with acrilic paint.


The title is from Wanderlust collection and it was covered with Antique Golden embossing.  


I finished the project with flowers, crystals and microbeads.

My last project is a tiny card/album that I made with Garden Life Collection.


I created a 5x5" card and decided to decorate the inside as a mini album.  You can add up to 2 pictures and it is a simple and nice gift.  I choose the Sunrise and Morning Dew papers to decorate the cover and pages. 


Using the beautiful printed chipboards from Garden Life I create the centerpiece.  


I continued by adding some flowers, fussy cut flowers and Checker Bits chipboard covered in Snow embossing powder.
