An Altered Spool and A Layout by Patter

I am excited to share two creations with you today showing off lots of fun Blue Fern Studios chipboard and the wonderful 7 Dots Studio products.

An Altered Spool
My parents are big antique shoppers/collectors. I love that they are able to pick up little pieces for me as they see them. This spool is one of the pieces they brought to me. I couldn't wait to alter it for my new studio. The 7 Dots Studio Domestic Goddess line was perfect as it matches the colors in my studio. I also used the Blue Fern Miss Tailor Set.

The Blue Fern Studios chipboard I used from the Miss Tailor set
was the dressform, scissors, and sewing machine.

An 8 1/2 x 11 Layout
For this layout, I used the 7 Dots Studio Messy Head collection. There are so many beautiful pieces in this collection that I had a hard time choosing what papers to use. On this page, I also used the Blue Fern Bits, Organic Vine, and Quatrefoil Panel chipboard pieces.

Projects by Yvonne Yam

Hello there! It's Yvonne here to share my projects for August. First up is this lace tag. The base is a red tag which I covered with lace and then added some embroidered black blooms for added texture.

The dressform chipboard was painted with gold paint then topped with gold mica and then "dressed" up with pearls, ribbon and a bead.

I used the Miss Tailor set.

My second project is an 8x8 canvas. A little mixed media background with washes, paints and stamps.

For the Garden Gate and Country Picket Fence (I cut it to fit my canvas) chipboard, I spritzed with black mist, then added black lava medium for really cool texture and sparkle.

For the Follow Your Bliss chipboard, I painted with white gesso and then topped with clear glitter.

Hope I've inspired you to use your Blue Fern Studios chipboard. :)

Good bye :):)

An Altered Project, A Mixed Media Canvas and a Layout...

Hi, Lisa here with 3 different projects for my May Blue Fern Studios Blog Post. To show you versatility using the wonderful Blue Fern Studios chip board, I give you an altered box, a mixed media canvas and a layout. With National Scrapbooking Day coming upon us this weekend, I was inspired to stretch my creativity. And here is what I came up with...


                                        The Button Box

 I aged the Vintage Lock by heat embossing it using a bronze embossing powder, and adhered it to the front flap on the box.

 I used a silver embossing powder on the scissors to give it an aged worn look, and while the melted powder was still wet, I wiped it off a little to make it appear as if the silver plate was flaking off.

 I used the Doodle Corners on the corners of my button box, heat embossing them with the same bronze powder I used on the Vintage lock. I also heat embossed the buttons and spools and scattered them among the flowers. I wound floss around the spools and tied floss in the button holes.

                                                      Mixed Media Canvas

 I used the Art Nouveau Frame for my 12 x 12 canvas. I white washed everything in Gesso, and used sprays and color mists on the chipboard pieces while they were still slightly damp. The color bleeds into the Gesso.

                                                                      A Layout

 I cut the Damask Motif in half and used it to frame my photo for visual interest. I used crackle paint on the piece and sprayed a color mist after it dried.

 The beauty of Blue Fern Studios chip board is that it withstands just about any medium and holds up Really Really well. There isn't anything I wont try on it.

 The butterfly was base coated with Gesso and then sprayed with 2 different colors while it was still wet.
