First Christmas projects by Karolina Czajkowska

Hello all Bue Fern Studios fans!

Karolina here with you today sharing my November inspiration for Blue Fern Studios. 

This time I have a very big problem with prepare anything for my inspiration, because Vintage Christmas collections are so beautiful, that I would like to look at them, and look and look, without cutting ;) 

But of course i made a bold decision and finally I cut them all :D

Oh, Deer!

My first Christmas proposition in this year is a wooden shadow-box in a shape of a house. First I painted a house using chalk paint, then I could start to add papers and flowers and chipboards. I used a lot of chipboard pieces! I covered them with embossing powder - white ones with a "snow" embossing powder, the Deer ornament with "oatmeal" and a "antique gold" embossing powder and the Dangled Flake with three embossing powders - "breeze", "snow" and "frozen". I mixed it together in a small jar to make sure that it will be looking good, and then I put it on a chipboard. It's a great idea to make new embossing powders effects. 

Christmas Cards

I really like to make Christmas cards. It's very sentimental for me because I started my scrapbooking adventure from exactly Christmas cards :D This time I prepared for you 4 cards with using Vintage Christmas collections. I think you can treat these collections like a one very big collection because papers are matching together perfectly.

September inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today, I have prepared three layouts using the beautiful Blue Fern Studio materials. And I'm happy to show them to you.

September... Fall brings cool. And we all want to extend the summer. Let's try? My layout of the summer days. A lot of flowers and heat. And romance of course!

"Forest Fairy" layout

This layout is for my sister. I really like this photo, and I wanted to do a little magic layout. Simple and complex at the same time.
I used the Susan's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams Collection as my background paper. I wanted a very light background, and this paper was the perfect. Сhipboard of a set "Forest Friends" can be applied idealy for this layout.


From the photos I made a 3-D structure. Cut the picture into several parts and the central part raised above the rest.


Chipboard Swirly Doodle was covered with Imagine Ink 14 Karat embossing powders. It is so beautifully with butterflies and spring flowers!


Animals from the "Forest Friends" set was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in 14 Karat and Petal. For snail I added additionaly Breeze Imagine Ink embossing powders.

And then you can see in the background mix of glitters - Sunshine and Peridot. They are so funny!

"Walk in a lilac garden" layout

My second layout about the walking in a lilac garden. La Plume paper from the Deja Vu Collection I used as my background paper. The second paper is the same I used to cut flowers out of it.
Many flowers and tenderness.


Serenity was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Lilac and Iris.


Harlequin Panel decorated with Imagine Ink 14 karat embossing powder.


I used the Serendipity Medley stamp with Imagine Ink Iris embossing powder to create some details on my background. Plus I added drops of glitter Dusty Rose.

A little bit of lace and shabby ribbons added romance and tenderness.
And the main decor - flowers cutting from La Plume paper.

The third layout today about romance with umbrella. It's very romantic and feminine. I used the Allegro paper from the Frolic Collection as my background paper.


Stillness was covered with Imagine Ink Breeze embossing powder. Embroidery - a little bird - adds a unique for my work.


I used a lot of lace, butterflies. Аnd of course, the flowers of the sets - Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Courtship Roses. They are beautiful!
