February Projects for Lydia Guijt

 Hello Blue Fern Studios friends. 

It's Lydia here today showing you my 3 projects for February. 

So excited to be using the soon to be released Chesterville Collection. The first 2 layouts are made withe that and the third with the Serendipity Collection. Here goes!

Capture the Moment

For my back ground work I started off with using the Postal Textures Stamp and Antique Gold Embossing Powder to create some interest. After that I followed with a stencil and paste. 

The Swirly Doodle and Swirly Circle Chipboard pieces I embossed with Black Sand BFS Embossing Powder and the Roman Clock Set and Captured Words with Copper BFS Embossing Powder.

Once I had all the preparations done it was time to start layering. Adding Late Winter Lilies and other embellishments to get the layout together. Some finishing touches with some mists and ink splatters and we're done with the first one.

For my second layout with the Chestervile collection I used another picture from our trip to the Grand Canyon. The mountains fit perfectly with the colors of these papers. To make things pop I decided to go with a contrasting color. I had my eye on the gorgeous Peacock BFS Embossing Powder for the Manchester Frame. Working my way back to all the other accents with that.

For my background I used the stamp and embossing technique again. Going with the Scratched stamp and Antique Gold BFS Embossing Powder. Followed by a stencil and paste, some misting and ink splatters. 

The Notebook Edges chipboard piece I embossed with Black Sand BFS Embossing Powder. The Seasonal Wild Flowers and Journey, Explore, Discover chipboard pieces with Oatmeal BFS Embossing Powder. Adding Autumn Glitter to the tips. With this all prepared I cut some pieces of paper from the Chester and Holmes papers to create some layers adding the chipboard pieces and Dark Tropic Lilies and other embellishments to finish of the layout. A final touch of ink splatters and we're done.

For my last layout this month I chose the brighter color scheme of the Serendipity Collection. Getting ready for Spring this part of the world. 

For the back ground I started with stamping around the page with a combination of stamps, Postal Textures, Christmas Collage & Shabby Edges. Followed by a stencil using an assortment of pastes. The gorgeous Janie's Frame chipboard piece was embossed with Oatmeal BFS Embossing Powder. After it was done I cut it through half to position on either side of the page. 

I fuzzy cut some pieces from the Merriment sheet to use on the layout and several butterflies. Assembling it all I used an assortment of BFS Flowers : Dark Tropc Lilies, Soft Blossoms & Courtship Roses. Adding some final touches with some Burnt Copper & Sunshine Glitter for a bit of extra sparkle and we're done.

September inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today, I have prepared three layouts using the beautiful Blue Fern Studio materials. And I'm happy to show them to you.

September... Fall brings cool. And we all want to extend the summer. Let's try? My layout of the summer days. A lot of flowers and heat. And romance of course!

"Forest Fairy" layout

This layout is for my sister. I really like this photo, and I wanted to do a little magic layout. Simple and complex at the same time.
I used the Susan's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams Collection as my background paper. I wanted a very light background, and this paper was the perfect. Сhipboard of a set "Forest Friends" can be applied idealy for this layout.


From the photos I made a 3-D structure. Cut the picture into several parts and the central part raised above the rest.


Chipboard Swirly Doodle was covered with Imagine Ink 14 Karat embossing powders. It is so beautifully with butterflies and spring flowers!


Animals from the "Forest Friends" set was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in 14 Karat and Petal. For snail I added additionaly Breeze Imagine Ink embossing powders.

And then you can see in the background mix of glitters - Sunshine and Peridot. They are so funny!

Blue Fern Studios Supply List:
Paper: Ombre Dreams - Susan's Dream
Chipboard: Swirly Doodle, Forest Friends
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder: Breeze, 14 Karat, Petal
Glitters: Sunshine, peridot

"Walk in a lilac garden" layout

My second layout about the walking in a lilac garden. La Plume paper from the Deja Vu Collection I used as my background paper. The second paper is the same I used to cut flowers out of it.
Many flowers and tenderness.


Serenity was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Lilac and Iris.


Harlequin Panel decorated with Imagine Ink 14 karat embossing powder.


I used the Serendipity Medley stamp with Imagine Ink Iris embossing powder to create some details on my background. Plus I added drops of glitter Dusty Rose.

A little bit of lace and shabby ribbons added romance and tenderness.
And the main decor - flowers cutting from La Plume paper.


Blue Fern Studios Supply List:
Paper: Deja Vu - La Plume
Chipboard: "Serenity, Calm, Hushed" set, Harlequin Panel
Stamp: Serendipity Medley
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder: Lilac, Iris, 14 karat

"Romance with umbrella" layout

The third layout today about romance with umbrella. It's very romantic and feminine. I used the Allegro paper from the Frolic Collection as my background paper.


Stillness was covered with Imagine Ink Breeze embossing powder. Embroidery - a little bird - adds a unique for my work.


I used a lot of lace, butterflies. Аnd of course, the flowers of the sets - Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Courtship Roses. They are beautiful!


Romantic Page Dangles I covered with Imagine Ink 14 karat embossing powder.

Keren's Projects with Courtship Lane Collection

Hello Everyone!!

Its Keren here with two projects for Blue Fern Studios!

I usually create two layouts but this time I wanted to create something different with the Courtship Lane collection.

"Home Sweet Home Memories"

I really love the vintage house images on the Courtship Lane papers so I fussy cut them to fit into my three part shadow box frame.

I cut three different houses to fit each of the boxes as they measured 3,4 and 5 inches squared respectively. The houses were cut out of the West Plaza, East Plaza and Calling cards papers.

The middle box was framed with one of the graduated squares. The right box was framed with the Memory frame. Finally I placed the Iron Signage chipboard on the top corner of the left shadow box.

All three chipboard pieces were embossed in both Oatmeal and Sage embossing powders.

Then I added a "Home Sweet Home" phrase out of the Calling Cards paper to add to the sign.

I added some matching  Courtship flowers and other vines to embellish around the frames as well as the Evening Lamp Post  chipboard which was simply painted with acrylic paint.

<<<<<<>>>>>

"Sail Away"

For my second project, I used the Town Gossip paper from the Courtship Lane  for the background.

I framed the photo in one of the Beaded Strings chipboard which was embossed with Tangerine embossing powder. I also added the swirly doodle under the photo. I cut it in half so it would show under both ends of the photo. Both the light house chipboard piece from the "By the Sea" set, were embossed in Ginger embossing powder

The sail away title was sprayed in brown to match the Courtship Lane flowers.

I also used the Journey stamp to create some texture in the background with brown ink.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios Blog

Have a wonderful day!!

February Projects by Melinda Thompson

Hello there everyone :)

I am happy to be here today to share with you all my February projects for Blue Fern Studios.

I can't get enough of the Ombre Dreams paper range...such beautiful colours. I have created this layout using Julianna's Dream as well as Dream Cards in my layers.

"Adore"

Kind of had a little fun with this layout.  I used some chipboard from the Chunky Heart Panel which I just cut out bits that I needed, covered them with gesso and then added some crackle paint over the top. Using some of the negative hearts from the panel piece, I added them in random places and sprinkled them with glass beads for a cool effect.

I have also used the word "Adore" for my title from the Adore, Love Cherish pack and a Romantic Page Dangle.

Paper: Ombre Dreams Collection: Julianna's & Dream Cards

Chipboard: Romantic Page Dangle, Chunky Heart Panel, Adore, Electic Heart

My next project is a personal project, something just for me.

I have used papers from the Montage Collection: Invitation and Calling Cards.

"Noted"

I have used a few various pieces of chipboard on this layout.  I have used the Turkish Bits chipboard on the background, the Swirly Doodle layered next to my photo and an Arrow word "Noted" .  In among my flower cluster you will also notice a piece from the nested circle set. All have been primed with gesso first and then lots of different inks and mists to alter them.

Paper: Montage Collection: Invitation & Calling Cards

Chipboard: Swirly Doodle, Nested Circles, Arrow Word, Turkish Bits

Happy Scrapping :)
