Angelica's June Projects

Hello everyone! Angelica here today to share my June projects with you! Since being on the DT I've been using one paper collection each month. Well, time to mix it up. Today, my three layouts are from three different paper lines.

First up is my take on the June Sketch just flipping it. I used two papers Ombre Dreams Collection; Charlotte's Dream and Joyce's Dream.

I used the Beaded String Chippy to further embellish my title. I used the word "Smile" for the Laughter, Happy, Smile set.

I used the Circle Vine chipboard piece to hold my photos.

For this page I used Boudoir from the Blue Fern Garden collection as my background. I fussed cut the Wisdom paper from the Montage Collection and matted my photo.

I really don't do much to my chipboard pieces. Just some thick gesso and mists. Here I used the Estate Railing piece.

One of my favorite chippies are the Roman Clock Sets. Here I used the Large Set..

Last but not least, I used the Love Story Collection. My daughter loves Alice in Wonderland so I made this for her. This line was perfect! I used the True Harmony, Twenty One, and Amazing Heart papers.

I used the Queen of Hearts piece for my title and Heart Crowns as embellishments.

The Card Suit Melody chippy is so unique! Love it!

Well, I hope that you've enjoyed my projects for June! I will be back in August for I'm breaking for July!

A couple of pages from Bente using Deja Vu and Montage collections.

Hi, today it's my turn again here on the blog and I have made some pages to showcase some of the beautiful Blue Fern Studios chipboards and papers. They are such a treat to work with.

Here is my first page.

I decided on some pink and yellow tones mainly and painted my 'Floral Medley frame' using a pretty yellow tone that I picked up from the designs in the paper.

The papers are from the 'Montage ' collection.

I used some Blue Fern Studios stamps as well.

The hot-air balloon is part of the 'Journey' set and I even used some of te stamps from 'Halftone'.

Here are a few close ups as well:

I stamped the balloon once on a pink paper and once on a yellow one.

My second page for today :

Previously I have focused on the yellow and lilac tones in the 'Deja Vu' papers as these are really some of my fave colours, but as you see it's possible to pick a different colour scheme entirely :-)

I used the green sheet for the background adnd the wood patterned paper on top. As these are pretty neutral you can really pick almost any colour to add as accents and embellishments.

Here are a few close ups too:

I used the new 'Deja Vu border chippie' painted green as a base for my page.
I added a summery photo and picked pretty, illuminant yellow and red to go with it.

It's such a vibrant and energetic combination.

I included a chipboard from the 'Ironworks accents' as a base for a small embellishmentcluster.

This ornamental chipboard border that goes with the Deja Vu collection is one of my preferred pieces right now. I hope you enjoyed my pages today and you will be back soon again to see what my friends in the DT are up to!

Have a lovely day!

April Sketch Challenge Winner and our Featured Layouts!

It's time for us to announce the winner of our April Sketch Challenge, but we would first like to take a moment to thank all of you who entered the challenge. You sure do make us look good when you use Blue Fern products!

The winner of the April challenge is..............

entry #3 which belongs to Jessika of Sweden.

Jessika, you have won a prize package of Blue Fern Chipboard!

Please send me an e-mail, within the next 7 days,

at {valerie(at)bluefernstudios(dot)com} to claim your prize.

Here's the beautiful layout Jessika created using one of our most popular

chipboard sets, the Shabby Brick Bits!

Each month we like to feature a few layouts from our sketch challenge

because we LOVE to show off how you use our products! It just so happens that all three of the gorgeous layouts below were created by women from Australia.

The first layout we are featuring this month was created by Alison Bevis. Alison has used paper from the Ombre Dreams Collection (Shannon's Dream). The large chipboard piece is a portion of the Industrial Corner, which she altered by heat embossing with several colors, and then adding mist. What a beautiful look she achieved! Her title, Love, is from the "Good Vibes" set of chipboard words. There is absolutely so much to love about this layout, including the precious photo!

Mandie Meier used a gorgeous photo of her daughter for her layout. The background paper is from the Blue Fern Ombre Dreams Collection. Mandie accented the layout using the Tattered Diamond Bits chipboard piece as well as the "Love" chipboard piece from the Adore, Love, Cherish set of words. This layout is so soft and sweet and beautiful!

Lizzy C has done some fabulous fussy cutting using our beautiful Montage Paper Collection. She added the stunning Wild Flourish Frame and some of the Turkish Bits chipboard pieces to complete the look. The way Lizzy altered the frame is nothing short of amazing. We can't think of a better way to show off Blue Fern products!

Congratulations to our winner, Jessika, and the three very talented ladies whose layouts we have featured this month. We hope you will take a moment to congratulate them!

Our May sketch has been posted. You can find a link in the right sidebar.

We hope to see lots of amazing layouts again this month.

Three off-the-page projects by Marie-Josée

Hello all,

Today, I will show you three off-the-page projects created with the beautiful Blue Fern Studios products!

Pop-up box with the Sanctuary collection

This is supposed to be a card, but to me, it looks more like an off-the-page project, since there is no place to write text. However, it can make a great wedding or anniversary souvenir, combined with a card. Thus the "Your Hearts Together" sentiment on the front panel.

For those of you who are interested to know how to create this project, here's a great tutorial I found on YouTube.

I used various papers from the Sanctuary collection to create this card: Birdsong Melody, Meadows of Time and Garden Plaza.

I cut the birds and flowers out of two different papers: The brown birds were cut out of the Birdsong Melody paper, whereas the blue bird and the flowers were cut out of the Meadows of Time paper.

On the front panel, I used a piece of the Bowed Trinkets to frame my sentiment.

I used the Mini Flourishes on the back panel to add texture and interest behind the paper flowers.

I also cut two pieces of the Lattice Fence to use on the side of my pop-up box.

Here's another view of the whole card.

Canvas with the Montage collection

Here's a small canvas (6" x 8") that I created with the Montage collection.

First, I altered my canvas with gesso, various mists and stamps.

Then, I also altered the small Circle Flourish frame with gesso and mists. I also added pearls on the circles of the frame.

Then I cut a piece of the Calling Cards paper from the Montage collection to use as a background.

I also used one of the calling card in the center of my frame.

Wall decor with various Blue Fern Studios collection

To create this piece, I used paper scraps from various Blue Fern Studios collections: Ombre Dreams, Montage, Sanctuary, and Love Story.

First, I used foam dots to assemble all the pieces of paper, to give dimension to my project. Then, using my finger, I applied gesso to the edges of the papers. Then, I sprayed various colors on the whole project: brown, white, and black.

I used the Blooming Foliage chipboard, combined with flowers. I altered it with gesso and green mists.
