'Secret Garden' by Marta Lapkowska + VIDEO tutorial

Hello my crafty friends,

It's Marta Lapkowska here.

I hope you are doing great.

I am back to you with my new page and full video tutorial. 

You can see my creative process step by step.

 I used brand new paper collection Deja Vu. It is stunning collection, soft and romantic.

To create some movement on my page I add new Deja Vu stamps to my background.

All the chipboards were embossed with white embossing powder.

I love the white colour it allows the chipboards to stands out.  Flowers are from my stash.

I hope you will enjoy my video, happy crafting.

Sending you creative hugs, Marta xx

Playing with darks and lights - by Zanka.

Hello friends!
I must say, I prefer to use light background for my layout rather than the dark ones. But the pattern of Bountiful (Sanctuary) is so elegant, that I just HAD TO give it a go.
So here is my layout with the dark background.
'SMILE'

I have used quite a lot of light elements for more contrast, I've even drawn leaves and branches with the white ink pen.
BFS chipboards used: Laughter, Happy , Smile; Turkish bits, Meadow Angelica, Lace rounds.

'XOXO'
With my second layout shared today, I'm back into my comfort zone, meaning light backgrounds :)
I used the new Deja vu collection, patterned paper and stamps.

I have used paper Tresors for this project. I have cut the paper in one-third and then glued it together again, arranging the border pattern in the middle (I learned this trick from Elena, who showed it in her tutorial here)
I have used the chipboards mainly to add dimension and texture.
BFS chipboards used: XOXO, Vintage labels, Gatsby collage.
Stamps: Halftone, Vintage edges.

Thanks for visiting BFS blog, enjoy !

April Projects with Einat Kessler

Hey crafty friends!

Einat Kessler here with two fun and easy projects.

I really love BFS products so I keep every little scrap that I have. I don't throw away any of my paper pieces or chipboard leftovers. Today i want to show you that you can create an amazing layout using those scraps!

I started with a 12x12 paper for my background. This is the only full size piece of paper in this layout. Then I started adding scraps of papers I cut from other BFS papers I had as well as adding a piece of chipboard i used on my last layout. I also added some other embellishments and the title.

BFS products used:
Papers: Ombre Dreams - Charlotte's Dream
             Sanctuary - Calling Cards
Chipboard: Marrakesh Panel

                   Dare to Dream

For my second project I made a card using some more scraps of paper and chipboard. I created a layered collage from pieces of paper and chipboard and embellished it with some flowers and ribbon. The great things about BFS papers is that they're double sided so there are twice as many color and pattern to use in whatever project you're creating!

BFS products used: 

Papers: Sanctuary - Calling Cards

Chipboard: Marrakesh Panel

I hope I've inspired you to use your BFS supplies and scraps!

Have fun creating!

Einat

April Projects by Angelica Franssen

Hello all! Today I'm here to share my April project with you. I made three layouts using the gorgeous new collection Deja Vu. The papers are designed beautifully and the colors are so sweet! I really love the soft tones of the purple, yellows, and green.

My first layout is based on April's sketch. I used the Friperies paper as  my background and used Tresors as my accents layers. The title "memories" is from the Petites Cartes papers.

For the chipboard pieces  I used Boston Lattice and Mesh Bits. I first painted with gesso and sprinkled lightly some cleat UTEE. Heated until the UTEE is melted then sprayed with mist.

 I also used on of the new pieces that coordinate with the Deja Vu Collection. This one here is a piece from the Deja Vu Dangle set.

For this page I used the La Plume paper as my background. Then tearing and layering on top I used the Un Voyage A Paris paper. I took a piece of the Luminaires paper to run down my page.

I used gesso and  paint on the Chelsea Vines. Then sprinkles some colored glitter glass on the tip of the leaves.

 For the title I used the word Delight from the Delight Set.

 This lovely lamp post is also new to coordinate with the Deja Vu Collection. This one is called Luminaires. It comes in a set of two and I used the larger on a previous layout I made.

The soft green color in the papers is one of my favorite shades of green. I used the Atelier paper as my background then layered  Tresors. I fussy cut some images from the Friperies and Petites Cartes papers.

This is another piece from the Deja Vu Dangle Set. I painted with gesso, misted, and lightly dabbed some distress glitter to finish the piece.

 Here I used the Small Roman Clock. I used the same dressing as above.

Thank you for taking the time! I hope I've inspire you to get the Deja Vu collection. It's one that you should have in your stash! :)

"Love This"

My first share this month for Blue Fern Studios is another beach layout.

I used the Sanctuary collection for the background and stamped it with the new textured stamps. Then I built the layout with chipboard and flowers.

I framed the photo with the Circle vine chipboard and used a couple of mini flourishes to add more swirls around the photo.

Then I added the "Love this" arrow word title.

All chipboard was painted with Antique Gold brown spray ink.

"Shadow Box Frame"

My second project this month is a shadow box frame which I covered with the Correspondence paper from the Sanctuary collection.

I framed the photo in the notebook frame, which was inked with brown acrylic ink.

The frame was embellished with flowers and the Seasonal Wildflower chipboard pieces. I also inked them in brown and then glued golden micro-beads on the flowers.

Thank you for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog.
