New inspirations with Tattered Walls + Mini Album :)

Hello sweeties!
I'm so excited to share with you my inspirations this month, because I've made my first ''mini album'', and I'm proud of this. I used Tattered Walls for my two inspirations.
I've not yet receive my new collection Happy Accident 2, but stay tuned for inspirations next month.

************************************

Our Big Adventure

( Tattered Walls )


I used a paper from Amber & Apricot collection with my paper of Tattered Walls collection.
I choosed to mixed them because the paper Yesteryear from Amber & Apricot have a little flowers yellow inside the design.




A mix of yellow flowers : Attic Charms Glitters Roses, and under the Fresh Florals the light yellow lillies frm Wanderlust Lilies kit....
And the deer ... so much tiny, it's cut from an old Christmas chipboard and embossed with OATMEAL


Can you see the seedlings? They are translucent, so cute on my background.

And here is my mini album ...

At The Coast
( Wanderlust, Tattered Walls )



Last summer the kids of my boyfriend went on a trip to the Magdalen Islands, with their mother. I created a mini album to keep the memories of this unforgettable summer.


My title is embossed in two part, first I embossed the half with snow embossing powder. In second part I added, on entire chiboard At The Coast ,14 Karats embossing powder, which gives as final result two shades of gold. I stamped on a white paper lot of Wanderlust Stamps and I cut them out to use as embellishement.


I used Serendipity REMINISCE for the background of the interior of my album. I think it's a perfect mixte with the old pink and the black color of the Tattered Walls collection. For the decorations I played with the EPHEMERAS of the collection.





One of my favorite stamp, I love how this little arrow make also a letter X.










''Travel'' is embossed with 14 karats embossing powder. added to this a stamps from ''For the Bird'' stamp kit, and a stamp from ''Arrived'' cut in a pieces.







For the Birds and Dispatch stamps mixed together make a pretty embellishment.
And a small butterfly from the stamp Bourbon Street ...






Again small pieces of stamps cut out and a piece of ephemera.


And look at the front cover, I used the wanderlust paper '' SOUVENIR ''
which reminds the design of a road map.

April layout and Step by Step by France Ringuette

Hi Blue Fern Fans, it's my turn today on the blog and I have 2 layouts for you today.

Câlin Step by Step layout with Wanderlost collection

This month, I would like to show you a step by step on building the foundation for this layout:



I always start my process by coating my paper with clear gesso. The clear gesso will act as a barrier and let you add watercolors or sprays easily to your layout.

Once my gesso is dry, I use a stencil and mat gel medium. Then I add my embossing powder to my gel medium and heat emboss. I love adding embossing to my backgrounds. I've found that gel mat medium works really well to emboss this way. I used Honey Embossing Powder on my layout.


Then I like to add inks to my background. I try to match my inks to some of the darker colors already on the paper. In this case, a dark teal blue. I sprints some water on the edges to give it a blurry effect and let it dry. You can use a heat gun to goa faster if you wish. Once dry, I use the same ink and add splatters with a small fine tip paintbrush and let dry again.



Last step for the background is to add some die-cut pieces and white some white glue, I add on some seedlings for extra texture. On this background I used the Harvest Seedlings.


For dimension, I enjoy adding chipboards to my pages. I heat embossed with a slightly darker tone this time to give contrast with the initial one placed on the background. On my chipboard I used Ginger Embossing Powder. I LOVE the metal effect it gives. 


Last steps are just to layer your Pictures with different pieces of cut out paper, printed chipboard, flowers and ornements.

Here are a few more images of my layout:



The picture was taken at my son's high school graduation, it was a proud moment, I felt this quote was just perfect because it truly is what a hope for him to chose a career that will make him happy.

*******************************

Sassy... Serendipity collection

This quote spoke to me.... The Best Moments Happen when they are Unplanned....

oh how true.... I am a girl that is often spontaneous, so this quote is truly one perfect for me.


I truly love this Chesterville flower, soft and delicate it was perfect tp highlight the light colors on this beautiful background.

I also added the leaves and small black flowers from the Wanderlust Vine set.


Behind the quote I used ginger embossing powder with the Vintage Edges stamp set to give some texture on my background.


I love this Sassy chipboard title and wanted it to pop off the page. I also wanted to give focus on the teal elements of this gorgeous paper. I chose to add only a layer of Caribbean glitter over the chipboard, wow it gave a spectacular finish. Underneath is another piece of chipboard heat embossed with Ginger Embossing Powder. This one is becoming part of my favorites.

A New Layout from our Fan of the Month!

Hey Crafty friends,  Phyllis here to share another layout using Blue Fern Studios products.  
The Correspondence paper from the Sanctuary collection is a gorgeous patterned paper with hues of
 brown and gray. I wanted to make sure that the pattern and color would show through, 
so everything else for this layout had to be light in color.  



Once I figured out my design I started placing my flowers and diecuts. 


 
Then I used Blue Fern Studios Tattered Diamond Bits Chipboard and heat embossed the bits.   
I added some cheesecloth, beads, and glitter to give alittle more interest.  
Once I adhered everything down I got my acrylic paint out and did some flicking with the paint.



I used a paper punch to cut out some flowers using my Blue Fern Scraps.   
I also used scraps to die cut and used them to create texture and my background.



Supplies:
Sanctuary Collection ~ Correspondence
Serendipity Collection ~ Imagination & Inspiration
Tattered Diamond Bits Chipboard
Breeze, Chili Powder and Fern Embossing Powders


I hope I've inspired you to create something beautiful today,  Blue Fern Studios has Amazing products to create with!

July Inspiration by Kris Berc

Hi, Blue Fern Studios fans! It's Kris here to share my July projects with you.  I have three layouts to show you today that I hope will get you into a creative mood!

Wish

For this layout, I chose a beautiful paper called Concert Hall from the Courtship Lane collection.  I love how the paper matches the backdrop in this photo of my daughter.  This photo was taken at one of her recent dance competitions...it's a small group jazz number to "Bippity Boppity Boo"!

I treated the paper with drops of blue and pink spray ink, topped that with some white gesso through a stencil, and then used a stamp from the Forever stamp set with black ink.


I embossed the "Wish" title piece with three colors of Imagine Ink embossing powder (In the Navy, Bonny Blue, and Icicle).


I embossed the Manchester Frame in Imagine Ink Bonny Blue powder, and then layered on the Folkart Frame, which I embossed with Imagine Ink In the Navy powder.  I'm so pleased with the effect!  Don't be afraid to layer your chipboard pieces :)

Daddy's Little Girl


I chose a beautiful paper from the Serendipity collection called Imagination for my second layout.  I treated it with some white gesso, some drops of pink, peach, and orange spray ink, and some stamping in black with the Tattered Newsprint stamp.


Oh how I adore this Daddy's little Girl chipboard piece!  It comes as one piece, but I cut it into two pieces in order to suit my design.  It's embossed with Imagine Ink embossing powder in Antique Gold.  I used the same treatment on the Royal Monarch to the right of the photo.


I embossed two of the Berry Stems chipboard pieces with Sand & Sea Imagine Ink embossing powder and tucked those into the top and bottom of my flower cluster.  There are several berry stem pieces in the set!

I went back to the gorgeous Courtship Lane paper collection for my third layout.  The paper is called Royal Street.  I kept the mixed media quite simple on this one.  As you can surely see, Blue Fern Studios papers and embellishments are gorgeous as they are and do not need extensive altering to look fabulous in your scrapbooks!  I simply added some drops of purple and teal mists, then stamped here and there with a stamp from the Forever stamp set.


I covered a Graduated Circles chipboard piece with Iridescent Grey Imagine Ink embossing powder.  What an awesome powder it is!  A favorite for sure.


The Joy chipboard piece from the Good Vibes set sums up the emotion of the photo of my daughter and her grandfather perfectly.  It was a joyful visit for sure :)  I embossed the chipboard with Imagine Ink embossing powder in the color Plum.  It's a lovely, rich color and it looks terrific with the plum colored berries!
