Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans.
Vera Shelemekh is here with some new inspiration and a video tutorial. Actually I can't stop cutting and layering the amazing In the Mood collection. I combine the sheets, I mix them with papers from other collections and I still have lots of ideas :)
So, the first layout is rocking fun. I've chosen the picture of my little son holding guitar. He looks like Axl Rose from Guns'n roses.. by the way roses are cut from Vintage Christmas - Deck the Halls as well as the big gitar behind the photo.
The background is full of hogs embossed with Antique gold powder.
The frame is covered with glitter. And there are also some seedlings here and there.

I love the flower background in combination with oval shapes cut from Heartland paper
The frame is covered with Vintage golf glitter
Lace adds special charm to wedding projects.
Please, find the video tutorial how to make this wedding layout.

Thank you for stopping by! I wish all Blue Fern Studios fans a happy crafting month.
Hi everyone! Hopefully you had a nice Christmas and New Year! I am super excited to be part of the awesome design team here at Blue Fern Studios for 2018. I would like to introduce myself before I share my layouts.
My name is Jessica McFall and I tried mixed media scrapbooking for the first time in August, 2015. I absolutely loved it! In my personal life, I recently became an aunt to two awesome nephews! They are TOO CUTE! I am also the mother to my lovely cat Crimson. :-D She is amazing, even if you are not a "cat person". If my dad can grow fond of her, I think anyone can. haha
For my first layout, I used the Beaumont Paper from the Remnants Collection for my background.
I cut one of the frames from the Ever After Frame Set in half, then used one of the halves on the left side of my page. It was embossed with Night Sky Embossing Powder, and Red Wine Glitter was added in spots on the chipboard. After that, I used the Penned Flourishes Stamp and embossed the image over it with Ivory Embossing Powder.
The flower on the left side of the page is from the Late Winter Lilies Flowers Set. Using the Remnants Printed Chipboard, I decided to create the title for my layout - "Cherish Life".
My picture has been matted on parts of the Callaway Paper from the Remnants Collection.
Behind the picture, I added another frame from the Ever After Frame Set and embossed it with Green Ivory Embossing Powder. Notice how the Meadow Seedlings add a nice touch to the chipboard.
To the left of the picture, I used a flower from the Remnants Blossoms, one from the Wanderlust Lilies set, and the rose at the bottom is from the Happy Roses set.
In the picture above, you get a nice closeup of the Branch Set Chipboard.
More Meadow Seedlings and Remnants Printed Chipboard to the right of the picture balances the layout very well.
The You Make Me Smile Chipboard in the center of the page was first embossed with Night Sky Embossing Powder, then I added Ivory Embossing Powder in spots over the Night Sky.
For my second layout titled "Joy", I included a video tutorial below mostly in fast forward. I would love answering extra questions that you may have. Please post them in the comments section here or on the Blue Fern Studios Youtube page and I will get back to you ASAP.
My background paper is Westfield from the Remnants Collection. I used the Butterflies, Tattered Newsprint, and the Crackle Textures Stamps to create my background.
To the left and right edges of my layout, I embossed the Floral Lattice Bits Chipboard with Ivory Embossing Powder then Pearl Embossing Powder and added Burgundy Seedlings.
I also put the word Happy from the Remnants Printed Chipboard to the right edge of my page.
For this layout, I used two sets of flowers. The Homespun Blossoms and Heartland Blossoms work well together since they both have beautiful white flowers. The matting under my picture was created by embossing pieces of the Mini Remnants Paper with the Rose Frame and Journaling Cards Stamps with Dark Chocolate Embossing Powder.
To the right of the picture, pieces of the Ever After Frame Set were embossed with Ivory Embossing Powder. The flowers have Russett Glitter added to the centers.
The title "Joy" comes from part of the Find Joy Chipboard and was embossed with Ivory Embossing Powder.
I randomly added some Meadow Seedlings in places around the page.
And here is my video tutorial that I promised.My goal was to try and include a few explanations and tips that may not be in other video tutorials. Anyhow, I hope it is fun and informative. Have fun creating!
My last layout I would like to share with you is a winter themed layout using several of the Vintage Christmas Collection papers. I chose to use the Auld Lang Syne paper for my background.
After adding clear gesso to my paper, I used some matte gel medium to attach various cards from the Holiday Cards paper and Greeting Cards paper. I also used some of these cards as matting for my picture. After adding texture with a stencil and texture paste, I used a little bit of taupe mist around my stenciled area. After I added all of my elements to my layout, I decided I wanted more color over the taupe mist. I chose another stencil with matte gel medium then sprinkled some Mauve Seedlings over the matte gel. I was very glad I did.
I embossed the Ornate Medallions Chipboard with Pearl Embossing Powder, and while it was still hot, I sprinkled some White Gold Glitter on top to add a bit of sparkle. To add more dimension to the page, I used some of the Vintage Christmas Printed Chipboard. I LOVE how it can be used as a subtle accent to layouts or can be used as a focal point on a layout! They are really versatile and fit the collections well.
The blue and white flowers are part of the Christmas Blooms set. On the tips of each flower I added Blue Ice Glitter to make it have a frosty look.
The pink flowers on the page are part of the Remnants Blossoms set. They also have some Blue Ice Glitter on the petal tips.
To help "anchor" the photo and the title, I added pieces of the Leafy Page Accents Chipboard. I cut one of the chipboard pieces in half and embossed it with Green Ivory Embossing Powder.
I cut the word "Wonderful" from one of the Vintage Christmas Printed Chipboard pieces for the title of my layout. I like how it looks like it is resting on the pink Remnants Blossoms flower.
Ho ho ho, Vera Shelemekh is knocking at the door)
Merry Christmas to all Blue Fern Studios fans all over the world!
Let me share some sparkling Christmas layouts and one extra off the page project which I'm sure you will enjoy.
First I'll share a very festive layout made with the brand new Remnants collection. I've usedRemnants - Beaumont dark side as background and some Remnants printed chipboards in decor.
I've applied a huge variety of wonderful Blue Fern Studios chipboards: Graduated Circles,
hat from Cozy Christmas set, Holiday Treats, Holly Sprigs, Winter flakes and the title. The gingerbrad man is covered with Antique gold Embossing powder.
The background is shining with Fire engine glitter, Flaming and Fir tree seedlings and
Holly springs are covered with Avocado embossing powder and the circle frame with Glistening sand.

I have two more layouts with both Vintage Christmas collections. These are gifts for my good Instagram followers.
This one is very tender and full of sweet romance with Vintage Christmas - Auld Lang Syne as background. And the frame is taken from the new Vintage Christmas printed chipboards set.
I added Snow Medley and covered it with fools gold glitter. Therelayout is embelished with bits of fussy cut flowers from different collections.
The black and white photo demands some contrast black elements, so I added some stamping with Holiday Wreath. And the title Heartland hoho chipboard perfectly fits the story.

The photo is framed into Sweet Home Vignette chipboard covered with Antique gold embossing powder.
I also added festive Flaming and Mustard seedlings and covered the gesso pattern with Fire Engine glitter

And for the dessert I prepared a couple of crafty fir tree toys made of adhesive tape bobbins.
They are so tiny and cute! I decorated inner parts with trees from Winer forest chipboards set and characters cut from Vintage Christmas holiday cards.
