January Social Media and YOU, edition #3

Happy Friday, everyone!
It's time for our last January Social Media Feature of the month!

Marina Gridasova of Russia created this lovely page with her last sheet of Ombre Dreams! We love how she has centered her torn Mini Rings Panel chipboard and used it to anchor her other elements. Her combination of pastels are glorious and make us hopeful that Spring is not that far away, You can find Marina on Instagram

@by_marina_gridasova or visit her Blog to see more of her work.

Julie Schinkel of Brisbane is an enthusiastic and super talented papercrafter who created this ultra feminine, colorful page! She has used our older beloved Montage Collection and the Shabby Brick Bits chipboard. Please visit her on Instagram @julz2470 or visit her inspiring blog at juliescrafthaven.blogspot.com.au.

Nozomi Iwamiya teaches scrapbooking workshop where she introduces projects such as this wonderful frame. We adore the shabby chic look created within a frame using paper, resin, chipboard and of course, flowers! We spy our fave Blush collection used here. You can visit Nozomi at @nozomiphoto on Instagram or on her blog at http://nozomi0623.blogspot.jp

Next month is Febraury .. can you believe that?! So, we'll be looking for lots of romantic paper creations! Be sure and tag us for a chance to be featured! And please use the complete name "Blue Fern Studios so this is no confusion."

See you then!

December's Social Media Feature and YOU!

Happy December, Blue Fern fans!

We hope you are enjoying this special holiday Season and are finding at least a little bit of time to be creative! Today we are sharing just a few of our finds from the past few weeks!

Remember to post your work and tag Blue Fern Studios for a chance to be featured … and just so that we can be sure to see your creations!

First up we have this lovely album by Aida Haron of Singapore. If you visit her Instagram account at

@aidaville, you will find a quick video that she uploaded showing you all it's gorgeous hidden spots for photos and journaling! Great way to use Vintage Christmas, Aida!

Kylie Kingham's posted this lovely creation on Instagram, stating that shabby chic is her favorite style! Here she has used Blue Fern Studios Memoires to perfection! You'll want to follow her on Instagram at @paper_sweetpea. Also, be sure and check out her blog Paper Sweet Pea because this gal does it all … clean and simple, shabby, planners and altered art!

Hiromi Yasuda is a very busy scrapper and posts often! We are pleased to see her work with Blue Fern Studios products because she truly inspires. This is one of the most amazing uses of the Seaside Cottage paper collection that we have seen! She certainly has the perfect photo! The Perfect Day chipboard is a great final touch. Please follow her on Instagram at @nyanhiro.

If you have followed our Social Media posts for long, you know that we like to feature some altered art each month. Here Aira Hashimoto has used cut files to create this amazing hot air balloon. This could be re-created with almost any of our paper collections to achieve different effects. Please follow Aira at @airahashimoto on Instagram.

Last but not least, we have this gorgeous Frolic creation by Kathy Martin. Kathy can be found on Instagram at @pinkieto07. We love how the warm tones blend perfectly with her outdoor photos. The dangling chippy and flower cluster are wonderful finishing touches.

***

We will be back later this month featuring some our Creative Team's favorites from this past year!
We thought it would be fun to see what the designers like best! (If you visit us on Pinterest or Instagram, you'll get a sneak peek into ALL our 2016 inspiration!)

Next year we will be doing several Social Media posts a month, so don't forget to tag us so that we can find you!

See you soon!

November's Social Media Highlights!

What?! Mid-November? I can hardly believe it!

Sandi here with you today sharing some November Social Media Highlights!

We love looking for YOUR work when we are out and about on Social Media and seeing the amazing things you create with our product! So, whether it's Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, be sure and tag us so that we don't miss a thing! It's also helpful when you mention the name of the product you've used. With over a 1000 products in the wholesale store, we want to be sure we've not overlooked what you've included.

Kana Abiko created this unique layout with a combination of paper collections, most notably Courtship Lane and Autumn Anthology by Michele Singh. We love how Kana's altered the gazebo image from Autumn Anthology paper to make it look more like a little house. The window and photo behind it are such a clever idea! And look at that fussy cutting! You can see more of her creations Here and find her on Instagram at @abikokana.

We are especially excited to see that Jennifer Evans (Jenaroo) is back to scrapping after several years of pursuing her nursing degree! Look at this shabby-licious, layered beauty! Here she has used the Frolic collection along with the Discover chipboard and added a few of her signatures .. doilies and flowers! To visit her blog, go HERE.

Designer Paula Calvanico has also used our Sanctuary collection to create this beauty! Photo is of her and her hubby at 15 and 17! With this the month of Thanksgiving here in the States, we were drawn to her color choices and use of the pretty leaf embellishment. Paula blogs HERE and is on Instagram at @paula_calvanico. Isn't true love something to be grateful for?

Next up is this amazing layout by USA designer Heather Thompson. We love how she's altered the title piece and Persian Ornament Chipboard and used our Serendipity and Tranquility paper collection. This really puts us in the mood for a New Year's masquerade ball. Outstanding work, Heather! Please visit her at heifer21.wordpress.com and follow her on Instagram at @heifer21. You will love her attention to detail and wonderful techniques.

Mayu of Japan posted this amazing piece on Instagram where you can follow her at @mayucrop_sbtnc. The fussy cut work is what really grabbed us for a second, then third look! She's used our newest Memoires and chose the dark red to add some drama to her photo of a traditional Japanese rite of passage. Please visit her blog HERE.

That's it for this month ... and what a great month of inspiration it is!

I hope you'll join me next month for a couple of special Social Media features!

Inspiration Overload ~ October Social Media Day

Hello, Blue Fern Studios followers!

Today is Social Media catch up day where we focus on YOU and your creations!
We hope that you are following us everywhere … Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and of course, right here on our blog.
Remember to tag us so that we can see what you're creating!

Our first feature of the day is this lovely layout by @majo_rando. She is a self-described scrapbooking designer and instructor based in Yebisu/Tokyo. Here she has used the Frolic collection (designed by Michele Singh) and created beautiful frames for her frames, then encrusted the design with lots of gorgeous flowers and a tiny birdcage and ribbon, She blogs right Here. The pink and blue color combo are simply heavenly.

Our products can be used in so many ways, including off the page projects. Here Saba Musharrif has created a gorgeous custom two drawer box and covered the top with paper, flowers and a sentiment. Done with newlyweds in mind. Saba's Instagram username is @favorsmore. And she blogs at Saba's Craft Land.

Don't forget about cards!
Liana Kuzovaya of Russia shared this gorgeous purple card on Instagram. She's used Deja Vu and a Deja Vu Calling Card as her sentiment, altered some chipboard, then added lace and a resin butterfly. A few pearls create just a bit more romance. Look for Liana on Instagram @liana_kuzovaya. And remember to use those scraps for handmade cards!

We can always count on our paper collections designed by Manuela Zimmerman for that extra dose of drama!

We found this drop dead gorgeous creation by Joanne aka @scrap_joe on Instagram the other day. We love the distressed edges and use of the Circle Flourish chipboard piece! After some detective work, we found her blog Here! (Yes, we sometimes have to use superhuman investigative skills to find you!)

We finish with this amazing assemblage art piece by Jaihan Z. There are lots of products utilized in her piece but Blue Fern Studios chipboard is a part of that! We have loads of gears and assemblage pieces that would work great for you! Jaihan puts lots of heart, soul and energy into her creation. We challenge you to think outside the box when using our products! To learn more about Jaihan, visit her Here and @hercreativeworld.

Well, we think you should be more than inspired by these amazing designers!

Maybe next month your name will be here!

See you in November!

August Social Media Update and YOU!

Hello, hello!

Sandi here with you today sharing some Blue Fern Studios awesomeness that we found on Instagram.

This month I've taken some screen shots directly from Instagram. We are trying to really drive home the need to be there! It's a quick, easy and fun way to see some gorgeous creations. And to basically create your own gallery there. You can also upload to Facebook and a Twitter from there, as well as pin your projects to Pinterest!

Please tag us there so that we can find you! Also, do the same when visiting Pinterest. Did you know that we have a full Pinterest board that features YOUR creations? We sure do!

First up, we're sharing this gorgeous layout by Emi Nakagawa using the Serendipity paper collection. She's added some simple elements and kept the project light and airy. You can visit her blog at http://ameblo.jp/nikopiyo/ and obviously her Instagram at @sb.and.r.emi.

We love this creation by Rika Hayama! What an unique way to use the Gazebo image from Autumn Anthology! It looks gorgeous against the woodgrain and with the mix of color and black and white photos. Rika blogs HERE.

Because we have been focusing on Seaside Cottage over the past few weeks, I wanted to include this fussy cut layout from Mikamika of Japan. Her floral cluster, and fussy cutting create such a beautiful scene alongside her photos. Her Instagram is @blanche0101.

Look at this adorable little mailbox creation from Naomi Chang using our older Love Story collection. I almost held this over until next month but it is so unique, I was anxious to share. Naomi blogs HERE.

Off the Page creations using Blue Fern Studios are always eye-catching!

We have another new feature this month by Shinko who blogs at shinkoblog.blogspot.com. Her paper folding and great design create a truly gorgeous piece using our Attic Charm collection and chipboard.

I'm sneaking in one last creation by Canadian Laura Gilhuly using our chipboard and the awesome new Seaside Cottage collection. She has lots of great photos of her boys at the beach and does a beautiful job of using flowers on her masculine pages! Great work, Laura!

That's it for today!

I hope you've found something to inspire you!

Also, fingers crossed that all photo credits are correct.

Please let us know if they are not.

See you next month!

May Social Media Features and YOU!

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans!

It's already time for another Social Media feature!

We've been out and about on Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and a few online galleries just to see what you are creating with your Blue Fern Studios products!

We really want to encourage you to use Instagram if you are not already! It's a great resource for inspiration. And an easy way to scroll through pretty photos without other distractions.

Plus, you can post to other social media sites easily with just one upload.

We are nearing 800 followers! How soon can we reach 1000?!

Thanks for helping us grow our Social Media presence.

Now for some great features:

One of our lovely Facebook followers, Bev Code, posted this layout to our Facebook page and linked it to her online gallery. She's used the Timeless collection and several pieces of BFS chipboard. Thanks, Bev, for always sharing your work with us!

We found this beauty by @eiko_ehira on Instagram! What a gorgeous way to use the romantic Blush collection! We love when people use our products in new creative ways. Wouldn't you love to reach out and touch this one?! Thank you, @eiko_ehira. This is so inspiring.

This dramatic layout created by Sandra Bernard was found on Pinterest as well as Instagram at @sandradeebernard. Her use of the Timeless collection, raw Blue Fern Studios chipboard and mixed media with co-ordinating florals is breathtaking!

Our Courtship Lane collection has been so well received and Instagram user @bliss_scrap.31 created a gorgeous layout and placed it in a frame. This way you can really go super 3 dimensional and add plenty of chunky embellishments.

Frolic is an older but favorite paper collection! @megu_ig shared this on Instagram. What a great choice for wedding photos and some altered chipboard! Thanks for tagging us @megu_ig! We love it! Such an adorable couple.

Okay, one more!

We couldn't pass up this beautiful layout by @akemihonma using our Serendipity paper collection. She tagged us on Instagram as well and we pinned it to our Blue Fern Studios Pinterest projects board where we try to pin as many of your creations as we can. It's a win-win!

As always there are new Blue Fern Studios products in the works!

We'll have a new collection to share in about a week or so.

Don't forget to tag us on your projects or your haul videos.

We truly want to feature YOU!
