Mixing it Up ~ Sandi's December Projects!

Hello, Blue Fern visitors! 

Sandi here with you today sharing my 3 December projects.

It's so hard to grasp that 2015 is almost over! 

"Memories"

First up is a layout using the Vintage Christmas collection. I used a variety of papers as listed below and then built my background with super heavy gesso, a stencil and Imagine Ink mists in Persimmon, Cotton Candy and Leaf. 

My Clip Frame was treated with Cotton Candy mist and then heat embossed using both Petal and Poinsettia. The Berry Stem on the left was misted with Imagine Ink in Leaf and variegated with a random ink pad. The Blooming Foliage peeking from beneath the photo was treated the same. A few microbeads were added to both for more texture. 

The Garden Lattice Bits were misted with Cotton Candy and then randomly embossed with Petal and Poinsettia.  You can also see I've used a snippet of the Blooming Foliage tucked into my cluster.

"Dream"

I love scrapping with purple! And since I haven't had a lot of opportunity to use the DejaVu collection yet, I took this time to do so.

  (Love this early ingenue photo of Lucille Ball, 1930s. Photo credit to Tumblr, original photographer unknown.) 

The spectacular Circle Vine Frame seemed the perfect choice to add a little drama to my layout. It was coated with gesso, then misted with Imagine Ink in Jingle Bells. I did a little random embossing with a clear powder and then added in some purple with one of my gelatos. 

The Framington Medley was treated the same and used as a background layer. To emphasize my photo, I used color around the Circle Vine Frame and mixed in some microbeads as well. 

You can see some of my stamping in the background using the Garden Frolic stamp. 

I used more of the gelato color to create an ombre look on my Dream title. I finished the page with some random paint splattering.

"Merry"

Here I am again using the Vintage Christmas collection. I've tried to photograph this layout multiple times and cannot seem to capture it's true appearance. IRL, it is so sparkly and pretty! 

The background was treated with gesso and Imagine Ink in Winter Mint. 

This LO is based on the December sketch and is of one of my grandsons with a great-granddad, so sweet. 

The Holiday Frame was misted with our Leaf mist and then blinged up with our Lucky embossing Powder! The shine is gorgeous! I've tucked in some fussy cut flowers. 

The Wood Ornament was treated with Petal and Poinsettia embossing Powders. A bow and flower finish it off! 

I used one of the Halftone Stamps around the outer edge of my layout for depth and interest. 

I added some personal touches with cheesecloth, peals and flair.

December Inspiration & Video Tutorial by Marilyn Rivera

Hello Blue Fern fans! Today I share with you a layout that I made with the new gorgeous Vintage Christmas collection and the new Christmas chipboards. I also worked with the fabulous embossing powders and the new mist in my project.

I selected the Holiday Frame, Word Ornament, and the Holiday Vine chipboards that I gave different techniques that you can see in the video tutorial at the end of the post. This beautiful paper is "Noel"from the Vintage Christmas collection.

I used the Lucky and Fern embossing powder on my chipboards.

I cut out this cute red house from the "Greeting Cards" papers.

I selected one of the word ornaments chipboard as my tittle. 

Here's the video tutorial....I hope you enjoy it and get some inspiration....


Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

December Inspiration with Melinda Thompson

Hello my crafty friends :)

This is my final projects for Blue Fern Studios.  My 12 month term finishes at the end of December and I can't believe how quick that 12 months went!

With my last 2 projects I used the new Vintage Christmas paper range. Its a beautiful paper range with such a range of colours to choose.

In my first project I was inspired by the gorgeous pinks, reds and aqua's. Such a pretty combination.

"Merry Christmas"

Lots of paper strips and fussy cutting...oh what fun! Chipboard pieces have been lightly painted in Gesso first and then covered with mists, inks and glitter :)

Paper: Vintage Christmas

Chipboard: Holiday Frame, Holly Sprigs, Word Ornaments

My second project is full of glitter and shine! I have used the new Imagine Ink Glitter range - Carribean and Pyrite on my chipboard pieces and a sprinkle here and there in my paper. I was truly shining after this project!!! :):)

"Magical"

Paper: Vintage Christmas

Chipboard:  Winter Village, Winter Titles, Winter Page Dangles, Christmas Ornaments, Beaded Strings

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you feel inspired to create this holiday season. Thank you Blue Fern Studios for having me on the team this past 12 months...its been absolutely fun!

Take care

November Projects with Angelica

Hello there, scrappy friends! I can't believe that Christmas is almost here!! Divulging in the Christmas spirit I have 3 projects to share using the new Vintage Christmas Collection.

This page is based on the November Sketch. I used the Deck the Halls paper as my background and left over scraps of the Magical paper for the layering. I used a card from the Greeting Card paper as my photo mat. For the French Iron Works and Winter Title Magical I painted with gesso, lightly sprayed with Cotton Candy mist, and used Phoenix glitter for that sparkle.

Winter pages are always fun to make because I love the sparkle! For this page I used Wonderland for my background paper. I did some masking and used Sky and Cool Mint mist. I also used the Greeting Card paper(love the sheet....a must have) and  Auld Lang Syne. The chipboard pieces, Holiday Frame and Framed Winter words, were painted with gesso and misted.

Instead of another layout I wanted to do something different. So, I made this pocket using a glassine bag. I cut out a bunch I tags from the Greeting cards paper, made a larger tag with Noel paper and tucked them inside the pocket. I used the Wild Flourish bundle for the front of the pocket and the Winter Title Noel. I used Leaf and Cotton Candy mist.

This is the pocket without the tags inside. I used the Noel Papers to cover the bag.

Thanks stopping by!
