3 Beach Layouts with 3 different collections- by Keren Tamir

Keren here, and today I have 3 beach layouts created with three different Blue Fern Studios Collections.

I recently came back from a family beach vacation. I wanted to show how versatile all the Blue Fern studios collections are and how easily they can be used for the same theme.

"Beautiful Girl"

With the Ombré Dreams Collection

For the background paper I used Ombré Dreams Charlotte's Dream and I also used the Ombré Dreams- Dream Cards as layers.

I used the corner flourishes chipboard which I cut into pieces. I painted it in pastel blue acrylic paint and stamped and inked it.

"Hello Summer"

With the Blue Fern Garden Collection

I used the "Signature" paper from the Blue Fern Garden collection for the background.

For chipboard, I used the Jewelled page dangles,  Jewelled frame and the Hello Summer title. They were all painted in with two different colours of acrylic paint.

"A Joyful heart"

with the Montage Collection

I used the Fairyland paper from the Montage Collection.

I framed the photo with the chipboard Collage Frame which I covered with embossing powder. I also used the wave shaped chipboard from the "By the sea" set.

I hope my layouts inspired you to scrap your holiday beach pictures or any old summer pics!!

Have a wonderful day!

Watching YOU Put our Designs to Work

We love seeing how all of you use our products and choose one day each month to feature some of your layouts.  Get ready to be amazed and inspired.

This entry is the first one Joyce created for her altered book project.  She has used several pieces of Blue Fern chipboard in a very elegant way.  Did you notice how she has dressed it up pearls?  Joyce is one of our prior Creative Team members.

Keeping with the vintage look, Angelica has added our Seasonal Wildflowers (one of my all-time favorite pieces of chipboard), to this stunning layout.

We spotted this beauty on Irina's blog.  She has used a Blue Fern title on this layout featuring a photo of her sister.

Look at how Ulrika used paper from the Montage Collection with these photos of her sweet little guy riding his bicycle ---really fast!

Tracey created this very romantic layout using paper from our Montage Collection.

We found this layout created by Ayumi of Japan, titled "This is Paradise".  The beautiful background paper is from our Ombre Dreams Collection.   She also added a couple of pieces of Blue Fern chipboard.

Maggi used our beautiful Jeweled Frame, which she altered using blue embossing enamel, to focus all the attention on her photograph.

It doesn't always take a lot of chipboard to make an impression as Anna demonstrates in this layout where she has painted the Blue Fern chipboard white and used it as an accent behind her photo.

 Riikka chose to use this beautiful pink paper from our Montage Collection, along with this photo of her with her parents when she was very small. 

Also using paper from our Montage Collection, Yvonne, a former member of our Creative Team, designed this beautiful "Fly Away" canvas.  So very pretty and elegant.

We hope you enjoyed seeing how YOU use our products.  

You keep posting your projects online, and we'll keep looking for them!

"Montage" with Yuko

Hello!　It's Yuko.

I am very glad to get "montage"! 

This is my remarkable favorite♡

Since the layout was made instantly, it introduces！

【Fabulous】          

We went to see a sunflower in the summer of this year.

It was very beautiful and spread on one side.

"Montage:Society"was perfect for these photos!

I put it backed by Marrakesh Panel, and a photograph was outstanding.

"Montage" Layouts with Rae

Hello everyone! It's Rae sharing some new projects I've made using the fabulous new Montage paper collection! This collection is PURE JOY to work with, and I'm excited to use it to create many more projects. Here are my first three that I've made to show you this month:

"Happiness is the Sunshine of the Soul" Layout

For this layout I used the "Invitation" and "Bouquet" papers from the Montage collection. 

In this closeup, you can see part of the JEWELED FRAME chipboard. I treated this by using several embossing powders, and randomly touching it with an archival ink pad.

Here's another one:



On the edges of the layout,  I placed some TURKISH BITS that I embossed. I also used more embossing powder to treat the MINI FLOURISHES.

"Take Time..." Layout

For this layout I used "Bouquet," "Calling Cards," and "Now and Then" from the Montage paper collection.

I covered three PARTY FLAGS with various Montage papers, then threaded the holes with jute twine.

For this LEAFY BOUGH, I cut it in two to wrok better with my design. I left it "naked" then used glitter glue and loose glitter on top of it and used a heat gun until it bubbled.

"Sitting Pretty" Layout

From the Montage collection, I used "Calling Cards," "Wisdom," "Invitation," and "Bouquet" papers.

I cut a piece from GINGER'S POPPIES, and embossed it with a vintage pink embossing powder.

 I painted the ORNATE SHELF with black milk paint which gave it a matte finish.

I took the inserts of the ORNATE SHELF out of the main piece, and used one of them for an accent piece on the side of the photo.

And, I used the MINI FLOURISHES again, this time using gesso, embossing powders, and a green mist for this shabby chic finish. 

Thanks for checking out my projects today!

September Sketch with Jelissa and a Start to Finish Video

Hello there friends!

We're in September, and how fast time has past! Today I'm sharing with you my take on Blue Fern Studios' September sketch challenge as part of my video education post.

Here is the wonderful sketch by Michelle:

And my interpretation of it:

That's my cat again as I realised I havn't scrapped much photos of my pets. I have lots of my children though and to many, they are one and the same. I've used the beautiful papers from Ombre Dreams, as well as some lovely chipboards like the Jeweled Frame, Framed Trinkets, a corner from the Rose Frame and a piece of the Lace Rounds.

Some closeups:

Here's the video of how I put this page together, on the Blue Fern Studios Youtube channel. 

I hope you've enjoyed watching the video. And remember to subscribe to our Youtube channel and also drop again by the Blue Fern Studios blog for more inspiration from the rest of the lovely DT.
