April projects by Tartine Peluche

Hello everybody! 

Today I come back to present my layouts of month. 

Each of it is created from the new collection SPRING PARADE.

For beginning, here is my first layout:

- DREAM HAVE NO LIMITS -

I used the B side of the paper "Remembrance".

I worked a lot on my background with stencils and different mediums.

 

I used the beautiful chipboard " Wild flourish bundle ".

To start I put gesso and then embossed with the new color coordinated to the collection 

Spring parade: PINK DUST, a beautiful pale pink with golden glitter.

 

A little closer, you can see all the softness of the color, I really love it.

In this picture we can also see that I embossed with " Making plan stamp" a few places with PINK DUST embossing powder.

 

I chose to use the flowers of the collection HARVEST LILLIE.

To give them a little punch more I painted the petals with golden paint.

- WONDER -

 For my second layout I used Susie's Garden, Spring Petite and June paper of SPRING PARADE.

First to make my background I used the paper "June" That I worked with paint and ink.

With the other two papers I cut  some flowers to decorate my photo.

 

The main color of my layout is given by LAVENDER EGGS embossing powder which I used  for the 

Whimsy flourishes chipboard and some die cut of leaf stamped.

 

For my Title, I embossed with Lavender eggs embossing powder. but as I did not like the result with the l

eaf of the same color I painted it with a white 3D paint.The final result leaves some glitter on the title.

My Flowers are from the new collection CHESTERVILLE, Chesterville Florals.

 

 l

I cut on the paper " Small Spring" on the small picture of paper "Sunday Best" the flowers that are on the  right of my photo.

 

 And on the Susie's Garden paper I cut the flowers drawn in the top of the paper ...

------------------------------------

This one is my fav of month.

I wanted a page without a picture but with a thought.

I knew I was going to do a layout like this, I wanted to give a thematic : Wings, Fly, Fall,  Get up ... Since the layout starts from above and falls down, held by a thread, 

So I chose the quote : What if I fall ...

Unlike my other two pages I did not work a background in 3D texture, but rather in effect of color contrast ...

And I must confess that it was difficult to take pictures. You will see on zoom that the page is much paler than the whole picture. This creation is very gentle in reality. Sorry for not having succeeded better take a picture.

- WHAT IF I FALL -

I chose the paper "Marketplace" of Spring parade collection. I think this is the most beautiful in 

the collection, softness color and a subtile pattern of lace.

 

For the chipboard title, " Story" I embossed it in white then I embossed the half in lavander.

 I used imaginie ink SNOW embossing powder and LAVANDER EGGS .

 l

 

I chose " Late Winter Lilies " for this project. I think I could not find better.

Have you see the little bottle of pearls? I find it too cute ...

 

You will see on the next two photos that I cut the Chipboard " Shabby Layered Frame " in two, after altering it.

I paint them in gold, then I put cracked varnish and I added white paint for the part of bottom. 

Then for the pattern above, I did the reverse, gold on white.

Memoires Inspiration with Cathi

Hello again scrappy friends, Cathi here!! I can't believe how fast this year has flown by, how is it November already??  This month I have some project to share from the gorgeous new Memoires collection.  My first project I feature another photo found on my iPad courtesy of my eldest selfie taking daughter! As they have gotten older, I find I am much worse about capturing them in photos and it is something I need to improve, thank goodness for one daughter who loves to take photos of herself which I promptly coopt for my layouts and Project Life!!

For my first layout I chose the Remember When paper as my base. I used some layers underneath my photos from the Calling Cards paper and the Tales of Treasure paper.

Here in this close up you can see the beautiful Memoires Blooms and Lilies cluster on Jasmine Collage and the Dream chipboard.  For the Jasmine Collage I used the Melon Imagine Ink Embossing Powder and for the Dream chipboard I used the Buttercup Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.

On this photo you see another Memoires Bloom I used as well as some background stamping using the  Scratched and Crackle Textures stamps.

To frame my layout I finished it off with the gorgeous Manor Hinges chipboard embossed in the 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.

For my second layout I chose a gorgeous turn of the century photo of a Parisian model. I thought it went perfectly with the beautiful Photographic Record paper. Clustered underneath my photos I again had the beautiful Calling Cards cutouts and the Tales of Treasures paper. My title in the bottom corner is inoubliable chipboard from the French Words set, the French word "Unforgettable" which was embossed in the 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.

Here in this photo you can see the beautiful Spring in Paris chipboard which I have also embossed in the 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.  The embossing powder did not cover the chipboard perfectly and instead of trying for perfect coverage I left it a bit distressed and added some Black Soot Distress Ink.  Here you can also see the fleur de lis shaped hinge from the Manor Hinges set, perfect for this layout!! I added some metallic pearls to finish off the chipboard along with the 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.  I added a few Lilies to the layout for some gorgeous detail.

I used several sets of stamps to build up my background: Grungy Grid, Texture 1 and Coarse Fabrics. I also added some brown and blue splashes from mists in my stash.

Here you can see more background stamping, splashing and a bit of texture tucked in with the Mesh Bits pieces embossed in Frozen Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.

For my next project I made a set of cards.  This collection had an awesome sheet perfect for cardmakers: Grand Sequel.  The back side of this paper had a collage of four of the sheets from the collection in 6x6 size!!

I just love this idea!! I was able to use the smaller sizes of these designs for gorgeous card backgrounds.

For my first card I fussy cut the typewriter from the Chronicles paper.  I added a Memoires Bloom and Attic Charm Daisy to the card and tucked in some Bits of Honey pieces embossed in 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.  The golden typewriter font letters saying hello and the stitching finished off this card.

I always love to make cards using vintage images I find.  I added some twine and a doily under this image and some beautiful Blue Fern Lilies to this card. I added the gorgeous flower from the Layering Stems chipboard set and embossed it in Raspberry Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. Again I finished off the card with stitching and it was done!

For my final card I found this adorable vintage girl image. I tucked in some paper and this fussy cut bird/watch image from the Calling Cards paper.  The leaves are from the Layering Stems set and are embossed in Sage Imagine Ink Embossing Powder to match the green in the girls dress and hair ribbon.  A little bit of stitching around the card finishes off this set.

Mixing it Up ~ Sandi's December Projects!

Hello, Blue Fern visitors! 

Sandi here with you today sharing my 3 December projects.

It's so hard to grasp that 2015 is almost over! 

"Memories"

First up is a layout using the Vintage Christmas collection. I used a variety of papers as listed below and then built my background with super heavy gesso, a stencil and Imagine Ink mists in Persimmon, Cotton Candy and Leaf. 

My Clip Frame was treated with Cotton Candy mist and then heat embossed using both Petal and Poinsettia. The Berry Stem on the left was misted with Imagine Ink in Leaf and variegated with a random ink pad. The Blooming Foliage peeking from beneath the photo was treated the same. A few microbeads were added to both for more texture. 

The Garden Lattice Bits were misted with Cotton Candy and then randomly embossed with Petal and Poinsettia.  You can also see I've used a snippet of the Blooming Foliage tucked into my cluster.

"Dream"

I love scrapping with purple! And since I haven't had a lot of opportunity to use the DejaVu collection yet, I took this time to do so.

  (Love this early ingenue photo of Lucille Ball, 1930s. Photo credit to Tumblr, original photographer unknown.) 

The spectacular Circle Vine Frame seemed the perfect choice to add a little drama to my layout. It was coated with gesso, then misted with Imagine Ink in Jingle Bells. I did a little random embossing with a clear powder and then added in some purple with one of my gelatos. 

The Framington Medley was treated the same and used as a background layer. To emphasize my photo, I used color around the Circle Vine Frame and mixed in some microbeads as well. 

You can see some of my stamping in the background using the Garden Frolic stamp. 

I used more of the gelato color to create an ombre look on my Dream title. I finished the page with some random paint splattering.

"Merry"

Here I am again using the Vintage Christmas collection. I've tried to photograph this layout multiple times and cannot seem to capture it's true appearance. IRL, it is so sparkly and pretty! 

The background was treated with gesso and Imagine Ink in Winter Mint. 

This LO is based on the December sketch and is of one of my grandsons with a great-granddad, so sweet. 

The Holiday Frame was misted with our Leaf mist and then blinged up with our Lucky embossing Powder! The shine is gorgeous! I've tucked in some fussy cut flowers. 

The Wood Ornament was treated with Petal and Poinsettia embossing Powders. A bow and flower finish it off! 

I used one of the Halftone Stamps around the outer edge of my layout for depth and interest. 

I added some personal touches with cheesecloth, peals and flair.

A first look at Vintage Christmas ~ with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, Blue Fern fans! 

Sandi Clarkson here with you today sharing my first Vintage Christmas project! 
I think I squealed a bit when I received my Design Team box the other day ... so many lovely new items! Wow! 

The Noel paper was treated with clear gesso and then super heavy gesso with a stencil. Imagine Ink in "Winter Mist" was misted and spread with water to enhance the stenciling. The "Carribean" glitter was then scattered over the background paper for lots of shine. Yes, we now have glitter! 

The chipboard pieces were all primed with gesso and then coated with the Imagine Ink in "Winter Mint" ( Snow Medley), "Leaf" (Eclectic Hearts), "Jingle Bells" (Garden Window) and "Cotton Candy" plus "Persimmon" (Wish, Wonder, Dream).  The Snow Medley piece was enhanced with "Fern" embossing powder, the Wish with "Poinsettia" embossing powder and the Eclectic Hearts with "Lucky" embossing powder. The Garden Window was misted with "Jingle Bells," then dusted with "Pyrite" glitter. 

Paper layers were cut and placed behind the Window. Flowers and bling were added as a final touch. 

Here are some close-ups:

I love Blue Fern Studios chipboard and had fun with some older pieces as well as some new ones! Having mist, embossing powder and glitter that mix and match  with the papers is wonderful! You can see that I like to do my embossing in more of a random way versus total coverage. For the Eclectic Hearts I added in some variegation with my green Gelato. In case you're wondering, the Garden Window does have Jingle Bell mist, a smidgen of inks and then is dusted with Pyrite glitter. One window shutter was cocked to reveal the paper beneath it. 

The Snow Medley piece has been cut in half and tucked into two different spots. The Winter Mint mist and the Fern embossing powder co-ordinate beautifully! Winter Mint os going to match so many of the BFS papers! 

More random embossing on the Wish piece. Again, the colors go so well together! Try Persimmon and Poinsettia together .. I think you'll like the combo. 

Well, that's my first project with Vintage Christmas! I can't wait to start another even though the weather is still hot here in Texas. Might go neutral this time instead of red and green. Hmm ...

Thanks for coming by!

Two New Scrapbooking Layouts Featuring Frolic and Paisley & Vine by Kim Price

Hello again everyone! I'm back up on the blog today to share a couple of new projects created using the brand new collections, Frolic and Paisley & Vine. I'm such a fan of Blue Fern Studios products and these two new collections do not disappoint - they are simply stunning.

My first layout today showcases the beauty of Frolic - a gorgeously feminine collection. I've used Frolic Allegro patterned paper as my base, adding layers of fussy cut flowers and paper ribbons taken from Amoroso.

In between my paper layers I've arranged Aloha Flourish chipboard having painted it up in coordinating colors of carmine, mustard and green, then added my Always and Forever sentiment on top.

My second project for today features papers from both Frolic and Paisley & Vine.

I've used Paisley & Vine Bohemian patterned paper, adding a light coat of paint to soften the design and a few splashes of mist around the edges for effect.

When my background had dried I added layers of cut out designs from Paisley & Vine Vineland patterned paper along with a floral design taken from Frolic Veranda. The frame in the center of my design can be found on Paisley & Vine Playing Cards patterned paper.

I've then added the two floral chipboard pieces Paisley & Vine Flowers adorning the left of my design, giving them a watercolor look in coordinating shades of blue and green. I've gone ahead and tucked a piece from Berry Stems behind one of the paper layers, and used a title from Wish, Wonder, Dream.

Sadly this is my final post for Blue Fern Studios as I am currently on a year long trip away from home with my husband and I am unable to keep up with my scrapbooking commitments. I absolutely love Blue Fern products and know they will continue to go from strength to strength.

Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being a part of this amazing team.
