October inspiration by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!
I'm back to the blog to share with you my october inspiration.
My first one is:

 100% Natural Moment

First, I arranged my two paper ( Chapters & Yesteryear) together to create perspective.

I cut the yellow roses from the paper Sunny Disposition and I placed this one under my first layer of paper. Under the top paper and a few other places I placed Lace 3.
As I used the chipboard Happy Moment in the background,
I cut out the words so as not to lose them.

Birds come from Amber and Apricot Printed Chipboard.
Yellow butterfly come frome Garden Life Printed Chipboard.
Chipboard Moment have just a layer of white gesso, Rose Leaves was embossed with Avocado Embossing Powder and base of Happy Moment chipboard was embossed with Hot Cocoa embossing powder.

I choose to alter the yellow rose with copper ink in order to have a color a little more orange which better mixed with background paper.

I tried to give the colors to my chipboard Floral Spray, with seedlings... not exactly the result I had in mind but it's pretty I think ...

Christmas in October? Why not?
Here is my second layout with Vintage Christmas collection.

I'll be home for christmas

I started by working my background with blue ink and Lucky embossing powder. I used this last with scratched stamp. I used also serendipity and grungy grid stamps with brown ink,
Then I placed my chipboard panel ( Harlequin) that I embossed with Snow. 

My chipboard Fern (imagined by Pascale B), was embossed in Lucky. I found that it also resembled branches of fir.
For this layout I used all my package of Chritsmas Blooms flowers.

My Snowflake Frame Square, embossed in whole with Fern and stamped in Lucky using Bourbon Street Stamp. Mixt of this two colors are so magical! And with piece of Lace 6 ... realy beautiful.

All my chipboard pieces received in part, a layer of false snow...

My lastest layout features the Attic Charm collection.
Sweet & Lucky

 This page does't seem it, but it's rather simple to make it,
I start with my Garden Frolic stamp, then I put a bit of texture paste
and I finish with my inks.

After embossing my chipboard Treasured Floral Frame with Oatmeal embossing powder, I can start decorating my main element of the page, my photo,
with Attic Charm Daisy, Dark Tropic Lilies ( light pink) and Garden Blooms flowers. I added some cut pieces of Lace 4 and I cut in the paper Attic Key the flowers and I placed under the photo.
I used the embossing powder Baby Pink for my title Sweet this color is very pretty, light soft and bright, almost white.

I altered my chipboard Quatrefoil Panel only with colored wax, rose gold.
On my flowers and has some place on my page I also added Pink Diamond glitters.

Our October Fan of the Month

October is here, and so is our new Blue Fern Fan of the Month, the wonderful Lisa Landry.  Her elegant style is perfect paired with Blue Fern products, which explains why she is such a fan.  So, let's get to know Lisa, and take a look at her first layout for us this month (and get to know one of her beautiful cats, too).

Hi!  My name is Lisa Landry (a.k.a. iluvcats261).  >^..^<

My husband and I live in Lake Charles, Louisiana where we were both born and raised. I have a wonderful daughter, an awesome son-in-law, and two sweet Grand Kitties that live not too far away in Houston, Texas.  Besides my husband an daughter, the loves of my life are my two magnificent Birman cats, Miss Gali and Lucy (mother and daughter), who have become popular in the scrapping community because they are my biggest inspirations.

My daughter introduced me to scrapbooking in 2010 and it’s the first craft I’ve ever been interested in.  Scrapping brings me peace, happiness, enjoyment and relaxation.  My creations are mostly romantic style with an added touch of shabby chic on occasion.  I especially love creating flower clusters, stenciling a pretty design and heat embossing chipboard!  The paper design and the photo I choose guide me through the creation process.

When I discovered Blue Fern Studios I fell in love with their high-quality products and have been one of their biggest fans for a very long time!   I’m extremely honored to be Blue Fern’s October Fan of the Month!  I hope that you enjoy my creations…..and as always, have a wonderful day!  Lisa : )

******************************

For this layout, I used Blue Fern Studios Happy Accident paper collection that has 

light blue tones (because of Lucy's eyes) and beige and white (for Lucy's colors).  

The photo is adhered to cardboard for a little raised dimension. 

 BFS Doodle Corners chipboard reminds me of string!

I used them to frame Lucy's adorable photo.  

They are heat embossed in BFS Imagine Ink color Starry Night.  WOWOWOW!  

What a perfect match to Lucy's eye color!!

Cute black & white Baker's Twine was perfect to zig-zag around the layout edge 

since the layout is all about Lucy's beloved string. 

To the upper right of the photo, I heat embossed Blue Fern Studios brick stamp 

in the Essential Textures set with their Imagine Ink color Oatmeal.  

Blue Fern Studios Products used:

Happy Accident paper "Blessing" backside

Essential Textures Clear Stamp Set - bricks

Imagine Ink embossing powders - Oatmeal & Starry Night

Chipboard - Doodle Corners

I hope you enjoyed my first post!

I look forward to creating some new layouts with Blue Fern's gorgeous products!

See you the next few Wednesdays.  Have a great day, Lisa : )

September inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans! Vera Shelemekh is here with amazing Amber and Apricot inspiration. I'm in a flourish mood this month so all of my projects are full of wonderful Apricot flowers.

The first layout is dedicated to a bicycle ride. This photo was taken specially for the russian Scrapbooker of the year contest last summer (I never ride a bike with a newspaper in my hands in normal life).

This piece of printed chipboard inspired my to create this layout.

 

I framed the photo into small Krystal's frame covered with my favourite icicle embossing powder. In the layers of flowers you will also find beautiful Fading blooms chipboards covered with baby pink and avocado embossing powders.

 The layout is decorated with fussy cut flowers from the Amber and Apricot Tweet meloody and the Flora papers.

  I also added some elements from Lace 4.

With a lot of yellow and brown flowers it makes Autumn so soft and warm. The composition consists of  Amber & Apricot printed chipboards, fussy cut roses from Yesteryear paper...

The is also some Honey bits stamping on background.

I love the look of Mustard Seedlings here. Just like drops of honey )

How Sweet it is to be Loved by You.

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans!  Phyllis here to share my last layout for Fan of the Month. I created a layout using the Amber & Apricot collection.  So Gorgeous!  I love colors of fall.

First off I started with Amber & Apricot's Joyful paper and cut off the edges then did some distressing.  I added Amber & Apricot's Faded Blooms paper for my backing.  I love how the brownish tan and beautiful design looks behind Joyful paper.  I also distressed the edges.   I used Birdsong and tore around the birds and a portion of the paper for my design.  Then I used the other side of Birdsong for some contrast and tore some more paper. 

I added texture paste through a stencil, and then added Blue Fern Studios Blood Orange embossing powder.  It was exactly what I was hoping for, just enough glitter and color.  I also used the Blue Fern Studios Crackle & Grunge Grid Stamps for more texture.  

For layering I added Blue Fern Studios flowers and chipboard - Apricot Blooms, Wanderlust Lilies, Fern Leaves, Manchester Frame and Roman Clock chipboard pieces.  I added Blue Fern Studios embossing powders Avocado and Chili powder to the Manchester Frame, and then added some Blood Orange to it.  For the Roman Clock I used Blue Fern Studios Chili Powder.  I painted the Fern Leaves chipboard pieces with gold acrylic paint.  For the last part of creating my layout I added some Blue Fern Studios Twig & Mustard Seedlings.  For the title I used the Amber & Apricot Sticker Chipboard piece,  How Sweet it is to be Loved by you.

September Inspiration by Wendy Scholten

Hi All,

It's my turn on the Blue Fern Studios Blog already, how fast a month goes by!

I made a canvas and 2 layouts this month.

First my canvas:

'Blessings'

I made this with the Amber and Apricot Collection.

I used a stencil with moddeling paste for the background and to give it some color i used a brown and peach colored spray. i also used a few pieces of paper from the Busy Bees paper behind my photo frame. I gave the resin frame a bit of color with 2 different shades of waxes.

I embossed the Blooming Foliage and Blessings word from the spiritually speaking word set with Hot Cocoa and Copper embossing powder, I used the happy chipboard from the coordinated chipboard pieces from the Amber and Apricot collection.

I finished my canvas with some flowers, art stones and the new seedlings Twig and Paprika.

For my chipboard i cut a Swirled Floral Corner Large in 2 pieces and embossed it with the snow embossing powder and some brown ink, as well as my memories frame from the Memory Frames Set. I also used a few pieces from the coordinated chipboard pieces.

I made this with two older collections, Dejavu and Courtship Lane.
 I used paint and a stencil for the background.

I used the paper from the Dejavu collection as my background and cut out the flowers from the Courtship Lane paper.

For the little frame i used one of the Ornamental Labels stamp and placed a  piece of vellum on top.

For the Chipboard i used the Jeweled Frame and Sweet word from the Cute, sweet, Sassy word set and treated it with paint.

Thanks for watching and have a nice week!
