April Inspiration and a video tutorial by Vera Shelemekh

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.

The other layout will make the album spread together with the heart shape layout from my March inspiration blog post. I tried to use the same colors and similar set of products. 

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.

March projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
The spring has sprung and Vera is here hurrying to show you layers of fresh inspiration. I would like to present  projects using the new Spring Parade collection and one more wedding layout with amazing Heartland.

Spring parade is so perfect for Easter layouts and decor and this is just the right time to start preparations for the holiday. I have created a layout which I'm planing to use as home decor on Easter.  Flowers make the scene rich and natural and the characters add some fairy look.


Floral lattice bits and the header are covered with Icicle and Lavender eggs embossing powders plus some white acrylic paint.


I used one of Vintage phrases stamp for the little journalling.

I love making gifts and for Easter I have created a couple of gift baskets. They can be filled with sweets, pies or chocolate eggs.

Each basket is made just of one sheet of paper.


Layers are built of fussy cut elements, Blooming Foliage bits covered with Lime embossing powder, ribbons and Chesterville florals

I keep on making my wedding album and today I'm gonna show you layout about the beautiful bride (me) :)  Heartland collection drives me crazy with its beauty and variety of flowes.

How I love to use texture stamps with embossing powder on background. Leafy Florals stamp with Icicle powder adds some dimention to the whole composition.
In the layers of fussy cut flowers you may find roses from Rose Bouquet chipboard covered with Icicle embossing powder. And I used the Charmed Page Dangle covered with Fire brick glitter as the header.

January Inspirations plus a VIDEO tutorial by Catherine Giguère

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans! I am thrilled to write my first blog post as Blue Fern Studios Design Team member! It's a dream come true for me!

Let me first introduce me. I am 39 years old and I live in Quebec City, Canada. I'm a 4th grade teacher and a mother of two children of 6 and 4 years old that are the main stars of my layouts. I do scrapbooking for 11 years now and this is my passion. I love doing romantic layouts full of flowers. I also love mixed media.

Here's my first projects as Blue Fern Studios Design Team member.

'Follow Your Heart'


For this first layout, I made a step-by-step video tutorial that you can watch below. I used the paper Heartland XOXO to start this project. First, I made a textured background with a stencil and modeling paste. I used yellow and caramel inks to add colors. I also add details with the 'Making Plans' and 'Vintage Phrase' stamps.


Then, I embossed my chipboards 'Crackle Bits' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'In the Navy'. I used 4 pieces of this chipboard under my picture. I cut one piece to make the design I wanted. I used 3 others papers of the Heartland collection to put under my picture. 


I embossed my title 'Follow Your Heart' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Honey'.


Then, I glued many Blue Fern Studios blue, yellow, white and turquoise flowers.


Here's the link to see the video tutorial:

I did my second layout on the gorgeous paper 'Wonderland' of the collection Vintage Christmas. I first did a subtile tone on tone background with modeling paste, stencil and brown inks. Then, I stamped with brown ink some words with the 'Vintage Phrase' stamp set. 


I embossed the 'Floral Lattice Bits' chipboards with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Garnet' to add a little bit of colour. I used pieces of Vintage Christmas 'Greeting Cards' paper and Vintage Christmas 2 'Holiday Cards' to put under my picture. 


I embossed the chipboard 'Circle Vine' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Ginger' and my title 'Magnifique' from the French Adjectives 1 chipboard set with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Garnet'.


Then, I add many Blue Fern Studios flowers.

New Stamps!

With the release of our new collection Attic Charm, we promised you that we would also have some new stamp sets.  If you missed our release of Attic Charm, you can see it HERE.  

The first two stamps we released are these vintage images that have 
the look and feel of the Attic Charm collection:



The next three stamps also have a vintage feel and would be perfect for almost any project.  
We have a set of elegant lace, and some phrases that would be beautiful on a layout, 
mixed media project, or card. The third stamp set is a gorgeous Queen Anne frame.


Adding stamps to your projects will add a new level of texture.  Our design team frequently uses stamps, 
so as you look at their projects, we hope you will look for the dimension they achieve by using stamps.
