Around the World with Blue Fern Studios- by Keren Tamir

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here with a different type of blog post today!!!

Ever wonder where Blue Fern Studios' products are used? except for the US, where it is manufactured, Blue Fern Studios products travel to many places around the world.

Recently I had the pleasure of teaching this layout class below in Quito, Ecuador.

I have some photos below depicting my experience!!

I've also taught the same layout last year in San Jose, Costa Rica and so I'm sharing both events with you today as Blue Fern Studios travels to Central and South America!!

Enjoy!!

For the classes in Ecuador I used the Courtship Lane papers as the original ones were sold out. The Blue Fern Studios papers match so well with each other that it wasn't a problem switching these around.

The Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces used for this layout were: Majestic Frame, Flutter Dangles and two special words "Momentos Especiales" designed just for us in Spanish.

I also used the Blue Fern Studios embossing powders to emboss the chipboard.

Here I am below explaining some components of the class.

Everyone is busy concentrating on their work. I love seeing my students working hard as it makes the final result so much more rewarding!!

Selfie with Isela the owner as everyone is working behind us!!

Look at the beautiful creations. Each one more beautiful than the next!!

Below are the pictures of my event from last October in Costa Rica.
It was an amazing event as well and everyone loved the Blue Fern Studios products.
Below is the same layout class as above but with a different paper collection for the background.
The other components remained the same.

Everyone working hard!!!!

Here are the beautiful creations!! look at all the Blue Fern Studios loveliness.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog!!
Hope you enjoyed this blog post!!
Have a wonderful day!!

January Video Tutorial by Marilyn Rivera

Hi everyone! I'm so happy to be back on the Blue Fern Studio design team with all those  talented ladies. I love Blue Fern products, I'm a fan!

My name is Marilyn Rivera, I'm from Puerto Rico but I live in North Carolina . I love to create and I used to live surrounded by fabrics, dress forms and threads designing dresses, because  you will see some of my dressmaking techniques in my work.
Scrapbooking become more than a hobby,   I've been giving the opportunity to travel and give workshops. I love to share my knowledge and techniques in my classes and in my video tutorials. My style is shabby chic with mixed media with a little of vintage.

"Momentos Especiales"

I worked this page with the beautiful Blush collection. My title is the new Spanish chipboard word "Momentos Especiales" that means Special Moments that goes perfect with this lovely memory of my kids, here is my daughter's first birthday.
I selected the Chunky Heart Panel chipboard to create the background and made it different techniques that you will see in the video tutorial.

I painted the chipboard title "Momentos Especiales" with two vintage color tones and embossed with the new oatmeal color.

I traced the hearts chipboard with a marker to enhance it and create dimension.

I embossed some of the hearts with the new embossing powders Blue Sky and Cotton Candy.

Supplies:

Blush colllection- Calling Cards, Reminisce papers
Chipboards: Chunky Heart Panel, Momentos Especiales
Imagine-Embossing powders: Blue Sky, Cotton Candy, Oatmeal
Imagine Ink- Mist- Sky, Cotton Candy
Stamp- Beads and Charm


Here's the video tutorial, I hope you enjoy it!

"KEY TO MY HEART"

I made this card using the Blush collection. I mixed the calling cards and Cupid's Folly papers. The Valentine Hearts chipboard goes perfect in my card.

I cut out the bird and the Key to my heart phrase from the Calling cards papers.
