Three Beach themed Layouts with the Seaside Cottage Collection by Keren Tamir

Hi Everyone!!

I was thrilled to receive the new Seaside Cottage collection. 

I love the beach and being near the ocean. It's my ideal vacation and I go there any chance I get. 

I don't live near the ocean, but whenever I go, I love taking photos on the beach and near the water.

I also love collecting shells and then using them on my projects.

I've created three beach themed layouts below.

Here is the first one:

"Calm"

I used the Embark paper  from the Seaside Cottage collection for the background. I stencilled it with a fish scale looking pattern and sprayed it with blue ink.

The Seaside Frame and Flourish were embossed with Blue Fern Studios Oatmeal embossing powder. Then I gave it some blue touch-ups. The calm title was painted in blue and then covered in clear glittery stickles.

Finally, I added Blue Fern Studios flowers and some seashells I collected during one of my trips.

"By The Sea"

Here is my second layout for this month using the Voyage paper from the Seaside Cottage collection.

I actually cut the background paper in half and  connected the two edges in the middle so the sail boat would be in the center. Then I used some paste and stencils to create some wave like pattern to cover the seam.

I used the large Blue Fern Flourish chipboard to give the photo some wave-like movement. I embossed the flourish with Sea Mist embossing powder.

As a title I used part of the calling cards paper and then added some Seaside Lilies, roses and other Blue Fern Studios blooms. I also added shells of course.

"The end of a perfect day"

This is my third layout this month using the Regalia paper from the Seaside Cottage Collection.

I loved creating texture behind my photo by using cheese cloth  like the second layout above. I also used Blue Fern Studios blooms and shells like in my other layouts

To mat the photo I used a couple of pieces from the calling cards paper. I also used the "Seaside Charms" and "The end of a perfect day" title to embellish the layout. I embossed them with the Sea Mist embossing powder.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog!!

Have a wonderful day!!

July projects by Karolina

Hi everyone! Karolina here with with a dose of inspiration for you! So sit down comfortable and let's start!

To my works I'm using photos of myself very rarely. I don't know why, I just prefere photos of my friends, family - people I love. So today it's a very unusual day! I would like to show you three different projects, two layout and one frame with me, myself & I ;)

In all projects I used a new beautiful collection Seaside Cottage. I wasn't surprised when I saw this collection for the very first time and I completely fell in love with it. Blue and turquoise are my favourite colors and I love everything in marine style. 

Beach Babe

Ok, so first I would like to show you a round frame. As you can see, I've cut out the outline of me from the picture and tried to create a beach around me. I have used two stripes of papers, some seashells, flowers and a texture sand paste. I also added some glitter in blue shades and I've prepared some glitter caboshons. It's very easy, you need just put some glue to the bottom of the caboshon and then sprinkle a glitter on it. When it will be dry you can stick it on your projects wherever you want.

Finally I added a title - this time it's a piece from the same collection. I have used outmeal embossing powder to cover it. The last step was to make a braid with a string and metal embellishments and put it around my frame.

Papers: Glory, Embark

Chipboard: Beach Babe

Embossing powder: Oatmeal

Glitter: Gulf Coast, Blue Ice, Pyrite, Burnt Cooper

Flowers: Seaside lilies

End of a perfect day

I'm pretty sure that this is the newest photo of me. My brother's fiancée took this picture of me in the last weekend, during a dinner. If I have to be honest, we were in the Warsaw and Warsaw is not a seaside city, but woodboards behind me looked very nice and it really was a perfect end of a perfect day ;)

 I built my composition using papers, flowers and a chipboard piece in the contrasty color. I have used a melon embossing powder.

Papers: Glory, Embark, Whitewash, Regalia

Chipboard: Perfect Day

Embossing powder: Melon, Honey

Flowers: Seaside lilies

Summer Vocation

The Seaside Cottage is a perfect collection not only for your marine projects,  but also for every holiday memories. In my last layout I used photos from Aventine Hill which I made few weeks ago when I was in Rome.

Papers: Embark, Whitewash, Regalia

Chipboard: Summer Vocation

Embossing powder: Ebony

Flowers: Seaside lilies

And that's all in this month! See you soon in August!

Let's go to the beach!

We are thrilled to announce the release of our new paper collection - Seaside Cottage.   When we hear the word "seaside", several images come to mind; white sand, clear blue water, gentle waves, seashells, summer vacations, and the list could go on-and-on.  The beach is a place you can go to escape all the pressures of life.  

We bring that relaxed feeling to this new collection created by Michele Singh.  

Seaside Cottage is a 10-page collection of double sided paper that evokes the magic of the beach. 

 You will find beautiful images, lots of amazing texture, and soothing beach colors. 

 

We also have 2 sets of coordinating flowers:

And what would a new collection be without some fabulous new chipboard?

We have some seaside images, as well as some amazing titles for all your summer projects!

And to enhance all this beautiful chipboard, we have a few new colors of embossing powder:

Our design team has so many ideas swirling around in their creative minds.  

We can't wait to share some of their projects with you in the upcoming weeks.
