Merry Christmas Finn by Vija Anton

Hello Blue Fern fans.  Today we post the final layout from our December Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Vija Anton.  We have fallen in love with each of her unique projects this month, and can't wait for you to see this one.  Vija, it has been such a joy to have you create with us this month.  You have given us and our readers some awesome inspiration, and we were able to give you some mojo to begin creating again!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This is my last layout as Blue Fern's Fan of the month. Thank you Blue Fern Studios for giving me this opportunity to work with your beautiful products. This layout features a facebook friend's dog, Finn. I will be sending her this layout so I hope she likes it! 




For the background I used the Magical paper and used the Wonderland and Homegrown papers for some fussy cutting. I love how these two collections compliment each other so well. 




 I have created dimension on my page by layering the elements. A double layer of foam tape under the cut out frame helps it sit nice and flat on top of the chipboard and that gorgeous lace.



I added touches of glitter here and there to give my layout a real Christmasy feel. 
For me Christmas = glitter and sparkle!!!! 



Blue Fern products used were:
Vintage Christmas papers: Magical and Wonderland
Homespun papers: Homegrown
Vintage Christmas printed chipboard
Chipboard: Holiday Vine and Folkart Frame 
Glitter: Vintage gold and Christmas pear
Embossing Powder: Sea mist and pearl
Seedlings: Wintergreen
Lace: 9c
Stamp: Jingle bells
Christmas blooms

November inspiration by Pascale

Hello Sweeties

Today I'm up on Blue Fern Studios blog with three new projects.The first one is a layout featuring both Vintage Christmas collections.


I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I stamped randomly with the Jingle Bells and the Christmas Collage stamps. When done, I added a design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste. I let dry naturally.


In the meantime, I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I embossed the snowflakes with the Icicle embossing powder.


I painted all the leaves with a green watercolor, then I sprinkled them with the Fern and the Clover embossing powders to add some texture.


I cut a few pieces of paper to add under the photo as well as a piece of lace. 


The crackle paste dry, I added some green to the background before gluing all the embellishments with a 3D gel. 


To finish the layout I added some seedlings.

My second project featured also the Vintage Christmas collection. I worked with white and gold colors to remind those of the Christmas tree.


First I primed the background with clear gesso. When dry, I added an embossed design made with the Jingle Bells stamp and the Honey embossing powder. Next, I added another design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste.


While the crackle paste was drying, I primed the Rose leaves, the Fern leaves, and the Snowflakes with white gesso as well as the flowers. I covered the Swirl Ornaments with Gold crackle paste.


I splattered the background with acrylic paints: one gold, the other white pearl. I used those same paints to color the Snowflakes and the Amber Blooms.


I covered the Rose and the Fern leaves with Platinum Crackle paste and let them dry naturally.


I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.


To finish the layout I added seedlings and glitter.

Here is my last November project: I made three simple Xmas cards with lace, paper and embossing powder.


The three cards are made on the same model.


I cut a triangle in the Homemade paper from the Homespun collection to make the Xmas tree.


I covered the triangles with laces.


I used some left over from the Quatrefoil panel and from the Quilted Page panel to represent the Christmas Tree balls. I embossed them with the Ginger and the 14 Karat powder. 


The card bases were stamped with Versamark and embossed.
