April Layouts by Yuko

Hello!Frisends!I would like to introduce three new layouts today.

I used all different collections.

【valentine】

　It's quite a season but ...

Pictures of when I made a cupcake with my daughter at Valentine's Day

I thought that I used it all the time.

This paper (home supun collection) is really cute! ! !

The title is a favorite favorite BFS embossed powder ginger.

At first it is a brownish dark colored powder.

When turning on the heater, it turns into a beautiful gold instant.

I love this change and I often demonstrate in the class.

This is a part of the 12-inch size chipboard sheet of the same collection.

Originally the surroundings were yellow but it will float slightly in color

I cut around with scissors.

As this 12-inch chip board comes out for each collection

It is very easy to use!

This is a picture at a rape-blossom field.

The name of my daughter is associated with a rape blossom.

This cool parent color used for the title!

It is an embossed powder IRIDESCENT GREY.

It is not black, dark gray. Moreover, it entered lame.

It seems quite easy to use !

I also textured the background paper with modeling paste.

This stamp is also cool!

I stamped three places, but do you understand?

It matches too much with the pattern and how far it was originally printed

I do not know where I stamped!

This chip board is embossed with gold

Modeling paste with fingers at random.I colored after drying.

Whether the atmosphere will come out just by putting various colors

I feel like rust.

Honeycomb chipboard used for layout

I used it as an embellishment

because the one pulled out was also hexagonal and cute.

I put liquid pearl in the center. Looks like Bolt?

Three new layouts by Jessica

"Special"

My first layout I created for the Blue Fern Studios design team for April is titled "Special".  For this layout, I chose to use papers from the Heartland Collection.  The background paper is Love Blooms and I used the Love Notes paper to build the matting under the picture.

I applied clear gesso to the background paper then did some stenciling with modeling paste.  To add more white with the modeling paste, I used diluted gesso on a plastic bag and "smooshed" it up and down my page.  My next step for the background work was to use a different stencil with modeling paste in areas around the page.  While it was still wet, I applied Dark Chocolate embossing powder over the modeling paste then dried it with a heat gun.  I love embossing with texture paste - for the next step, I added blue mist with a paint brush to the areas around the embossed stenciling.

At this point, I put my picture and embellishments in place then splattered diluted gesso up and down my page to create a soft and relaxing feel to it.

The Blue Fern Flourish chipboard was first embossed with Dark Chocolate embossing powder, then I added some Solar Flare glitter randomly in spots with matte gel medium.  Both lilies are from the Wanderlust Lillies set.  The lily to the left of the picture has Blue Ice Glitter applied with matte gel.  The lily to the right has Black Ice glitter applied to the tips with matte gel also.

Here's my list of Blue Fern Studios products for this layout:

"The Good Life"

My next creation features the Amber & Apricot collection.  My background paper is Sunny Disposition, and I love that I was able to  play with a lot of colors on this layout.

The Blue Fern Studios Seedlings with matte gel helped to accomplish the colorful and fun background.  I used Gold Nugget, Harvest, Pink Topaz, and Vivid Pink Seedlings.  The photo is mounted on the Amber & Apricot Birdsong paper pieces and some of the collection's Printed Chipboard.

I used flowers from two different sets: Dark Tropic Lilies and Wanderlust Lilies.  The white lace that is dangling to the left of the titled is Lace #10 from Blue Fern Studios - I love how it can twist and add dimension!  Here are a couple of closeups:

"XOXO"

My final layout features the In the Mood collection background paper with Memoires Calling Cards paper as matting for the photo.

I used the Tattered Newsprint stamp with Pure Red embossing powder randomly on the background.  To add interest and softness, I used Lace #10 to the top of the picture and Lace #12 on the side.

The flowers coral roses on the page are from the Happy Roses set and the other flowers are from the Harvest Lilies set.

The chipboard on the page is the XOXO chipboard title and hearts on the side of the picture and I also used one of the keys from the Vintage Keys set.  All of the chipboard was embossed with Baby Pink and a sprinkle of Coral embossing powder.

Jessica - March Inspirations

"Adorable"

Hi everyone!  My first project I would like to share with you is titled "Adorable".  This is my grandpa's picture of Shirley Temple when he was stationed at Hawaii.  I used the Memoires Collection paper for my background along with the Photographic Record paper and Calling Cards paper to layer behind the photograph.

I sprinkled Twig seedlings over matte gel and a stencil.  Here you can also see that I used two pieces of Lace 12 behind the photo and the paper layers.

The long chipboard piece is the Destiny Collage chipboard that I originally embossed with Black Gold embossing powder for a different project but changed my mind (lol).  So over that embossing powder, I embossed the chipboard with Pure Red and Seven Seas embossing powders.  Using the Crackle Textures stamp, I embossed the areas with Ivory embossing powder.

For the Adorable chipboard title and the Bits of Honey chipboard pieces, I used brown distress ink to color the pieces then used the Crackle Textures stamp with Dark Chocolate embossing powder over areas of the chipboard.  The small blue flowers are from the Chesterville Blooms set.  In several areas around the page, I sprinkled a bit of Russett glitter and Blue Ice glitter over matte gel.

And finally, you can see a close-up of the Bits of Honey chipboard and the piece of Lace 12.

"In the Mood"

For my second project this month I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried a shabby chic canvas.  I used a ton of Blue Fern Studios products from this collection for the canvas!  

The main heart on the canvas is the Blissful paper from the In the Mood Collection.  The red frame and black heart to the top left of the canvas are Printed Chipboard pieces from the In the Mood Collection.  The design on the black heart is the Penned Flourishes stamp embossed with Pure Red embossing powder.

Lace 3B is the black lace that I embossed with Black & Gold embossing powder.  The circle floral frame was also embossed with the Black & Gold embossing powder.  Lace 12 is at the top left of the canvas and very elegant.  

Beating Heart and Gold Nugget seedlings were applied with matte gel over some cheesecloth.  I used a stencil with glass bead gel to the top left side of the canvas then sprinkled some Mocha glitter over the design.

The large white rose in the center of the cluster is from the Garden Blooms set, while the pink flowers are from the Moody Florals set.

To fill in spots on my canvas I used some old roses from my stash and put gesso on the tips and sprinkled with Rose Gold glitter.

Here are the products I used:

"Perfect"

My final project this month is a very basic layout using some of the the In the Mood Collection along with other collections.  The background paper is Amused from the In the Mood Collection.  I created the background with modeling paste, stencil, and black spray stain.  Then I stamped it with the Tattered Newsprint stamp.

The two white roses are from the Garden Blooms set and the other flowers are from the Apricot Blooms set.  For each flower on the page, I used matte gel on the tips of the flowers and sprinkled Mocha glitter on the tips.  For the Apricot Blooms, I removed the flower stamens and replaced them with a pearl using matte medium then sprinkled Gold Nugget seedlings around the pearls.

To go along with the glitter theme, I used Black & Gold embossing powder as part of the matting behind the photo.  Under the picture the Lace 10 adds a nice soft touch to the layout.

The Lattice Panel chipboard and Perfect chipboard title were first coated in gesso, then I painted them with a very concentrated white acrylic paint.  Finally, I used the Crackle Textures stamp with Coral embossing powder to add interest to the chipboard.

IN THE mood layout by Yuko

Hello!friesnds!I like February!

Because there is a Valentine's Day

Because the world will be full of hearts!

Using the very sweet In the mood collection

I made three sheets of layouts with hearts!

【ALL You Need is Love】

A special dress shot taken on her daughter 's anniversary.

I was looking forward to using this picture very much!

In this monnd collection

I brought the paper with the softest image to the backing.

Just like a slightly deep pink accentuates

I cut the paper narrowly and run it in a line shape in both length and width.

Chipboard of the same collection is also very cute!

I used the heart inside and applied the paper from the back.

The title paints the chip board white with Gesso

I put a glitter (Rose Gold) on the bottom.

This Rose Gold glitter,

As the name suggests, there is a pink lame in the gold

It is very cute color ❤

I cut out the stamped paper and used it.

I also love this stamp (Deja Vu) and I use it many times.

Because BFS's elegant atmosphere fits any paper

I am doing great success!

The race is BFS's too!

Even using only a little makes it very gorgeous!

【grateful for YOU】

It is a unique culture in Japan.

School bags to buy when going to elementary school.

Do you know?

I am deeply impressed with having grown with this.

Because my daughter's clothes are navy

The selected paper is pink × red and black

Paper that has become a good feeling accent .

If the surroundings are black it will tighten!

Embossed powder (wheat) was used for the title.

It is a very elegant gold and is my favorite color

The butterfly chip board is embossed using pastel pink embossed powder

I sprinkled two kinds of Seedling

It is transparent pink (sweet pea) and metallic pink (mauve).

I often use an alphabetic stamp

Always do not feel like pushing

I dare dare to put it on an acrylic block 

and hold it with my hand and press the stamp

This is useful because it seems to be hidden from the beginning! ! !
