June Inspirations by Yuko

Hello!
Today is my turn!
I would like to introduce three of my projects in June.

<Sweet as Honey>

I used Blue Fern Studios' HOME SPUN collection.

This collection is too cute and easy to use!

I used embossed powder named HONEY for the title.

Before melting it really looks like honey

It is a powder with a little orangeish color

Melt and into a gold like this.

There are many kinds in the same gold though

HONEY is like gold that is close to orange.

I used a nostalgic Blush collection here.
Recently there are many cool paper images
I want you to put out such an elegant one again!

I cut out many patterns of paper and pasted it with a height difference.

I attached a glitter (marine) to the leaves pulled out with the die.

Textured with modeling paste on top

I scattered seedlings (winter green) and put it.

Seedlings include mats, metal, things with transparency etc.

There are various kinds.

This is a type with a sense of transparency.

There is a transparent feeling and it is beautiful !

Megan's May Inspiration

Hi Everyone!
Today I have a couple of layouts to share plus an OTP project that I had banging around in my head as soon as I saw the HomeSpun Collection, just loved these papers :)

I took an ATC sized craft coloured box and used this as my base, covering the inside and outside with patterned paper, and inked the edges in pinecone ink.

I chose quite a few of the printed chipboard elements and used these in the middle of the box to support all the fussy cut pieces I used throughout.

A birds eye view gives you a perfect view of all those layers I assembled.

Isn't that little sewing machine super cute?!

On the back of the box I used one of the 6x6 patterned pieces and layered another chipboard element on top.

Products Used

Patterned Paper:

HomeSpun

Minis, Tea Time, Crafty, Homegrown, Calling Cards

Printed Chipboard:

HomeSpun

My first of two layouts uses paper from the Wanderlust collection.  The neutral colour scheme of this collection makes it so versatile!

This photo had such lovely memories of fabulous weekend away we had and this particular day was at Mt Cook village, such a beautiful part of our country. :)
On my background I used clear gesso and then applied different sprays.  Once all the layers were dry I mixed 3D gloss gel with glitter to create a paste and applied that to my stencil.  Then I stamped randomly over my page, using white and black ink.

To glitter my chipboard title I painted it a coordinating colour and while still wet sprinkled glitter on it.  It was originally just embossed but just didnt seem to stand out, this worked much better!

To get the best out of my chipboard I used the positive and the negative pieces from the cogs set and cut apart the bits I wanted from the numbers set.  The cogs are just inked with pinecone while the rest is embossed with wheat embossing powder.

Products Used

Patterned Paper:

Wanderlust - Lakeside

Printed Chipboard:

Wanderlust

Glitter:

Russet, Blue Ice

Embossing Powder:

Wheat

Stamps:

Tattered Newsprint

My last project used paper from the Remnants Collection.

 On this background I also applied clear gesso and used a two toned spray, and again randomly stamped over the design.  There are a number of layers to this layout - 4! - giving it depth and a bit more interest.

Cannot get enough of those Lillies!! <3
Two layers of chipboard this time, one left black and the other embossed with powder so the two layers looked separate and didnt blend into each other.

I fussy cut around the floral cluster piece of the printed chipboard - to do this I carefully separated the layers that make up the chipboard til I was left two, making it much easier to trim around.

Products Used

Patterned Paper:

Remnants - Beaumont

Printed Chipboard:

Remnants

Stamps:

Tattered Newsprint

Seedlings:

Leaf

Embossing Powder:

Glitter:

In the Forest

Chipboard:

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that May is here already. ♥ I am very excited to be sharing my layouts with you this month!  

Here are my 3 scrapbook pages . . .  

♥ My First Layout:  Home Sweet Home

I used the Homespun collection for my first page.  Isn't it gorgeous?  I love the flip side of "Tea Time"(as seen below) and used it as the basis for my first layout:

Here is my 12 x 12 page:

I picked our family's Christmas card photo from 2016, which is one of my all-time favorite photos of our family.  This gorgeous paper compliments it beautifully, I think.  

A close up:

And a different view:

I especially enjoyed embellishing the raw chipboard floral/flourish wreath with embossing powder and glitter; and using the Homespun Printed Chipboard on this page.  I mixed things up by adding some Remnants Blooms here, too.

I picked a photo that I took of Anne way back in 2010 when she was enjoying a Spring day.

Some close ups to give you a better look at the details:

This layout was so much fun and very easy to make!  I LOVED using the gorgeous "In the Mood" collection.  The BFS glitter really jazzed it up, too!

Here are some close ups:

And a different view:

May projects by France Ringuette

Good morning bloggers, It's my turn to showcase some fun projects made with various paper collections from Blue Fern Studios. Today, I'll be sharing with you, 2 cards and 2 layouts.

Project # 1 May Mother's day cards

Mother's day is just around the corner and I thought I would provide your 2 different cards that I made for my mother and mother in law.

First Card

For this card, I used papers from Homespun collection, Minis & Picturesque papers, Lace 10, Embossing Powders Cotton Candy, Flowers Christmas & Heartland blooms.

Second Card

For this card, I used the same paper collection, but added different elements like the use of the Honeycomb stamp set, 14 Karat Emblossing Powder, Barb's Medallion chipboard, Chesterville Blooms Flowers & Lace 4.

Layout #1: Cherish

This amazing picture was the inspiration for this next layout, my friend Brittany's daughter is just too cute for words in her peach tutu. I was inspired to use the Amber & Apricot collection for this layout.

From the Amber & Apricot collection I chose to use: Flora, Friendship & Tweet Melody papers

Under the photo I used the Amber & Apricot printed chipboard with a touch of colored cotton cloth. In my floral arrangements I used flowers from the Apricot Blooms & Harvest Lilies sets.

I decided to cut out the little bird and feathers from one of my papers to add onto the side of my picture. I love the softness it was bringing.

The Cherish chipboard is simply stained a bid darker for more contrast with the paper. You will also find under the Amber & Apricot flowers, an embossed image of the Weathered Doily Stamp in Baby Pink embossing powder.

***********************

Layout #2: Happy

I've had my heart set on crafting this beautiful picture of my niece with her family for a while now. When going thru my papers, I fell on Pacific Coast from the Wanderlust paper collection and knew that this was the perfect one for this picture.

I started by applying a coat of white gesso under my picture are to highlight the focus. Then added some touched of sepia stamping with the Remnants Collage Stamp Set

I used various papers from the Wanderlust collection to build my layers under my picture. I hear embossed in Breeze color the Happy chipboard title.

The chicken wire chipboard is painted in 2 different colors to give it an old look. 

The last step was to stamp some flowers, add a few drop of white gesso, and there you go an old feel kind of  layout.
