May Social Media Features and YOU!

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans! 

It's already time for another Social Media feature! 

We've been out and about on Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and a few online galleries just to see what you are creating with your Blue Fern Studios products! 

We really want to encourage you to use Instagram if you are not already! It's a great resource for inspiration. And an easy way to scroll through pretty photos without other distractions. 

Plus, you can post to other social media sites easily with just one upload.

We are nearing 800 followers! How soon can we reach 1000?! 

Thanks for helping us grow our Social Media presence. 

Now for some great features:

One of our lovely Facebook followers, Bev Code, posted this layout to our  Facebook page and linked it to her online gallery. She's used the Timeless collection and several pieces of BFS chipboard. Thanks, Bev, for always sharing your work with us! 

We found this beauty by @eiko_ehira on Instagram! What a gorgeous way to use the romantic Blush collection! We love when people use our products in new creative ways. Wouldn't you love to reach out and touch this one?! Thank you, @eiko_ehira. This is so inspiring. 

This dramatic layout created by Sandra Bernard was found on Pinterest as well as Instagram at @sandradeebernard. Her use of the Timeless collection, raw Blue Fern Studios chipboard and mixed media with co-ordinating florals is breathtaking! 

Our Courtship Lane collection has been so well received and Instagram user @bliss_scrap.31 created a gorgeous layout and placed it in a frame. This way you can really go super 3 dimensional and add plenty of chunky embellishments. 

Frolic is an older but favorite paper collection! @megu_ig shared this on Instagram. What a great choice for wedding photos and some altered chipboard! Thanks for tagging us @megu_ig! We love it! Such an adorable couple. 

Okay, one more!

 We couldn't pass  up this beautiful layout by @akemihonma using our Serendipity paper collection. She tagged us on Instagram as well and we pinned it to our Blue Fern Studios Pinterest projects board where we try to pin as many of your creations as we can. It's a win-win! 

As always there are new Blue Fern Studios products in the works! 

We'll have a new collection to share in about a week or so. 

Don't forget to tag us on your projects or your haul videos.

We truly want to feature YOU! 

See you next time!

3 different collections with Yuko

Hello!Blue Fern Studios funs!

It's Yuko here!

【WHAT  A  wonderful DAY】

My family went to the memorial trip last month married 10 anniversary.

We took the photo at the same location as 10 years ago!

It was a wonderful experience!

Precious memories!

Because I wanted to express the clean and gorgeous feeling of Chapel

I chose this TIMELESS collection!

 Used tulle and white bird with the image of a wedding.

Clipboard (dangle) was embossed in parl.

It is clean out a little luster.

Such as the pattern of the letters and these bottles of paper

I feel good looks very little vintage.

Also processing the embossed of parl to the heart of the chip board,

 put a gold liquid Pearl from the top that.

【Journey】

These photos were taken by a Taketomi Island visited on the trip.

Because it was the color to red point

I chose the photo that is reflected in the bright red hibiscus and bougainvillea.

After the chipboard colored with ink

I was tracing with a pen of lame.

Chip board of the film was embossed with oatmeal.

Really this color is an excellent color can also be used to elegant to casual!

April inspiration by Pascale

Hello Sweeties

I followed the April sketch for these first layout. I chose to work with papers of the Serendipity collection. Their vintage feel is a perfect match with the photo of Notre-Dame-la-Grande of Poitiers (France).

I started to add a layer of clear gesso to the background and the chipboards. Then I added adding a design with a stencil and 3D gloss gel. 

While the design was drying, I colored the Whimsy Flourishes with a brown Distress inkand added a touch of gold wax. 

I colored the die-cut sprigs with the same ink, sprayed them with water to activate the ink and sprinkled sage embossing ink while wet. I colored the leaves with the same Distress ink and some Twinkling H2O and added ginger and garnet embossing powder. 

I colored the flowers with the H2Os too and I used them to added some color to the background too. 

To finish I added some splatter of merlot glitter: I mixed soft matte gel with water and the glitter so I was able to splatter the mixing.

The second layout showcase a photo of the entrance of the castle of the Temple (L'Ile-Bouchard - France).

I started to add a layer of clear gesso to protect the background and the chipboards. I added some texture the wall stamp and the oatmeal embossing powder.

I covered the Grid Pieces chipboards with a graphite paste. When dry, I splattered some color.

I  painted the Spring Branches with some Twinkling H2O  and sprinkled some embossing powders to add some texture.    

I colored the flowers with some Twinkling H2O too. 

When all the embellishments were glued, I added more wall prints: I used a twinkling H2O with a similar color as the background.

The third layout showcase another postcard from Rennes (France) where we can see the City Hall Belfry.

I started to add a layer of clear gesso to protect the background and all the chipboards. Then I added a design with a stencil and modeling paste. While the paste was still wet I sprinkled different colors of embossing powder and heat set them. 

I covered the Roman Clock with black gesso, then I added some texture with the Texture Circles stamp and the Ginger embossing powder. 

I covered the Leafy Page Accents with a white crackle paste. When dry I colored them with a light brown Twinkling H2O. 

I colored the roses and the leaves with different Twinkling H2O and I added some ebossing powders on the leaves to add some textures.

I added some colors to the background and some random stamping with the Arcadia Textures stamp. To finish I splattered some glitters mixed with matte gel and water.
