February Projects by Babi

Hi Everyone,

Today it's my turn to share with you my new projects with the upcoming collection Chesterville.  It's such a beatiful grunge style collection and  it will be available soon for you to work with it.

I used the Chesterville - Bretton and Whitford papers to create my first project, called "Smile Today".

I applied some texture paste with stencil, watercolor and paint to create a more girly background.

Then, I covered  the Manchester Frame Chipboard with Antique Gold and Fern embossing powder and acrylic paint.

I finished  the layout with some gorgeous paper flowers - Spring  and Late Winter Lilies.  

Supplies using Blue Fern Studios:

Papers: Chesterville - Bretton  and Whitford 

Chipboard: Manchester Frame

Embossing Powder: Fern and Antique Gold

Flowers: Spring and Late Winter Lilies

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

My next projet is a  mini album  that I made with several papers from  Chesterville collection. You can check the names in the supplies list.

For the Cover I used the Chesterville George, Chester and Holmes  papers.

I used the Texture Wildflowers for the cover, then I embossed it  with  Antique Gold (a must have :)) and Fern Embossing Powder.

I stamped on a vellum paper a few images of the  Widget Stamp and added  Snow Embossing Powder to it.

To finish, I added some embellishments, gesso and watercolor to create more dimension.

Now I would like to share my video tutorial that shows  how I decorated the cover for my mini album. You can see the whole project at the end of the video.

Supplies using Blue Fern Studios:

Papers: Chesterville (Barton, Bretton, Buckley, Chester, Geroge, Hargrave, Holmes, Keswick, Preston).

January projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans!

I'm really excited to present my first projects as Blue Fern Studios design team member. It's a great honor for me to join such a faboulous team! 

First a couple of words about myself.

My name is Vera Shelemekh and I come from the very heart of Russia.  I live in Moscow with my husband and 5 year old son. Scrapbooking is my hobby, my work and my life style. I can't imagine my crafty process without mixed media and fuzzy cutting. So if you come to Moscow and meet a person with scissors in dirty hands, that would be probably me :)

I create in different styles and techniques.

And now give me a chance to try and inspire you to create something really amazing with the best paper and chipboards ever!

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

My first project is the layout about russian winter full of snow and Christmas fun. We celebrate New Year first and then Orthodox Christmas on January 7th so the celebration is still alive in memory)

I used Vintage Christmas 2 Twas the night as backgroud and cut a lot of elements from Holiday Cards sheet.

The gingerbread house Chipboard is covered with white gesso, then I embossed the roof with Icicle powder and covered candy parts with Fire Engine glitter.

The title "Noel" is also embossed with Icicle powder.

Now let's move to amazing Heartland collection! I've created two projects.

The first one is the layout about myself and the qween which lives deeply inside every girl) The image came up to my mind when I saw the Heartland Love Blooms paper sheet. It became the background for my layout.

 

My hat and skirt are made of many fuzzy cut flowers.I cut them from Heartland Sweet on You paper.

I also added some Chelsea vines covered with  green acrylic paint and lime embossing powder. 

And some hearts cut of Chunky Heart Panel and covered with antique gold powder.

 For this layout I used some stamping with Deha Vu  and Texture 1 sets. I stamped elements on the remnants of the Sweet on you paper, cut them and adhered to the layers.

 And now the dessert. Heartland collection inspired me to create two chocolate boxes. I like to have such things at hand in case a friend drops in.

 

The boxes are made of Valentine Party and XOXO papers and decorated with flowers cut from Love Notes. I used the remnants of paper, a puncher and some glue to create paper flowers.

The birds in the middle are taken from the little birds set and covered with Fool's gold glitter.

 The boxes are quite big, appriximately 6х2,5 inch, so someone can keep quite a lot of chocolate inside))

January projects by Annie Samson

Hi everyone, 

I am very honored and excited to be a part of this fabulous team and share my first projects whit you.

First, let me introduce myself !

I am 39 years old and I live in the French province of Quebec in Canada. My daughter who is now 19 years old,  is the inspiration for almost all my layouts. I love to create texture and add mediums to my layouts.  Flowers and chipboard are also 2 of my most preferred ornaments.

For my first layout, Sparkles,  I used the back of the Noel paper in the Vintage Christmas collection.

I  added a little bit of texture with modeling past and added a very light beige color with acrylic paint.

I used the Swirly Circle, Shabby Flake, Frosty Flake and Winter Forest chipboard to create a winter scene.

I have embossed my snow flake with Antique Gold, my deer with Mushroom, the trees with Forest and my swirl with Ruby embossing powders.

And I added some flowers from Attic Charm Glitter Roses and Late Winter Lilies to complete the winter scene.

For my second and third layouts, I used the Heartland collection.

For this layout, I have used the back of the Kiss Kiss paper.  I added some texture with modeling paste and some color with distress spray ink.

I have used the Raspberry embossing powder to emboss my 2 chipboard pieces: the title Just the 2 of Us and Spirit of Heartland. Then I applied a thin coat of gesso on my chipboard.

I added flowers from Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Heartland Blossoms, Heartland Roses and Blossoms and Late Winter Lilies collections.

Then I added a heart from Frilly Heart chipboard kit stamped in green with the Brocade Texture stamp.

For my last layout, I used the back of the Love Bloom paper. Because I love texture, I added modeling paste through a stencil and added a little bit of pink color with ink.

I choose to paint my Turkish Bits, Together is the Best Place to Be and one piece of the Graduated Squares chipboard with with acrylic paint. Then I used some brown and blue ink to add color to my chipboard. I wanted to keep them soft because the main paper and the flowers are very colored.

I used the flowers from the Heartland Blossoms and Heartland Roses and Blossoms to decorate my layout.
