Something old & something new

Hi everyone! 

Kristine here to share with you some September projects! 

"So happy"

I don't know about you but I always find new pictures more inspiring then older pictures.
So every time I take a picture that I really like, I have to scrap it right away ;) ...

 On this layout I painted all the chipboard black. I needed a contrast-color against the craft background, and all the different colors on the pattern paper. The background is made with stamps, and india ink. 

I have used these chipboard pieces: 

                                

                                         Bits of honey                                        Fancy birdcage

 "Master of disguise"

...But sometimes I like to dig into the photo pile and use some pictures I have not seen in a while!
It always bring back memories and awesome moments!
Like these photos used on this layout!
When my son was about 1 year old, his favorite game to play was hide and seek.
It was not very hard to find him ;) 

The background is made with stencil, distress ink pad, india ink and black dabber.
I used a stencil, and modeling paste on the "bits of honey" and "sunglass" chipboards, and white dabber on the "master of disguise" chipboard. 

On this layouts I have used: 

                                           Bits of honey                                     Mister stuff

I hope you found some inspiration here today, and thank you for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog!

Yana Smakula August post

Hello everyone!

Yana is here and today I'm sharing a few of my newest projects created with Blue Fern Studios Chipboard. To tell you the truth - I'm having a blast making clean and simple cards using chipboard pieces from BFS. For this post I also decided to show you something extra - I'll be showing you my very first shadow box! I hope you'll enjoy and will be inspired to create something wonderful with chippies from Blue Fern Studios.

Lets start with a clean card "An Awesome Day":

For this card I used just one chipboard piece from Blue Fern Studios:

 Mister Stuff

I also have a quick video to show you how the card came together:

My next card is also a very simple one, and once again it uses only one chipboard piece which serves as the main element and holds the sentiment:

Chipboard piece used for this project came from the Picture Perfect set:

Picture Perfect

Finally, my main project for this month features several chipboard pieces which create a dimensional scene. All chipboard pieces used for this project were painted with different paints and inks, some were embossed a few times:

Chipboard pieces used for this project are:

Garden Gate

Fancy Birdcage

Organic Vine

Tweet Friends

This is all from me for today! Be sure to stop by my blog to see some some projects using chipboards from Blue Fern Studios!

Feminine or Masculine?

Hi, it's Patter Cross here sharing some inspiration with you today. So, what's your favorite type of layout to create—a feminine layout or a masculine layout? I actually like creating both but with identical triplet girls, I really only get to scrap a masculine page when I focus on hubby. So today, I wanted to show you both a masculine layout and a feminine layout and how I used the Blue Fern Studios chipboard on each. I also have an extra surprise at the end. Let's get started.

An 8 1/2 x 11 Masculine Layout
My hubby just celebrated his 50th birthday. So, a picture of him at his birthday dinner was the perfect photo to scrap. I used the Twiggy Branch chipboard to frame around his layout. After covering it in gesso and spraying with different mists, I just cut it apart and used in various places around his photo. For the title of my page, I used the words "My Guy" which are found in the Mister Stuff chipboard set. I covered the title in black gesso.

An 8 1/2 x 11 Feminine Layout
Last month I shared a few pages from a gift album I created. Today I am sharing yet another page from that album. This photo is all about this precious baby's dress worn on her 1st birthday. So, the perfect chipboard for this layout was the Sweetheart Dress Form chipboard. I covered it in gesso and crackle paint. It's hard to see the "crackle" in the photo but in person it gave a great effect.

A Small Surprise
I also thought I would do a quick card for today's post. I used the Tuscan Window chipboard and left it raw as it went well with the kraft cardstock I used.

Thanks for stopping by today, and have fun using the Blue Fern Studios chipboard on both feminine and masculine creations!
