Design Team Inspiration

Welcome to the weekend!  Today we would like to take you on a journey of inspiration.  We love how our Creative Team combines Blue Fern paper, chipboard, and stamps, and each one does it in a very different way.  Here's what a few of them have created recently:

Marta Lapkowska created this mixed-media canvas using paper from the Love Story collection.  The chipboard pieces are the Grid Pieces, which you will see used multiple times in this post.

Jelissa Mei has used the Circle Code chipboard piece on her layout featuring a photo of her sweet boys.  You can't help but smile when you look at this photo!

The beautiful paper from the Love Story Collection (the Grand Ball) is the backdrop for Yuko Tanaka's elegant layout. You might notice that she, too, has used the Grid Pieces on her layout.

Bente Fagerberg has combined our Brick Rings and Happy title as the perfect accessories for this very soft and dreamy layout.  So simple, yet very elegant.

Having recently lost her beloved pet, Marie Josee Hamel created this layout in her memory.

Did you notice that she also used the Grid Pieces on her project?

Elena Morgun has combined a vintage photo with multiple Blue Fern chipboard pieces and paper from Love Story.

New Blue Fern Designer, Sandi Clarkson, has taken Hollywood glamor to a new level with this striking layout, also using paper from the Love Story Collection along with Blue Fern chipboard.  She has also used the Grid Pieces, but left in some of the negative spaces.

Galina Sazonova has used neutrals with a hint of color on this awesome layout.  The texture she has created is amazing.  Bits of the Turkish Panel chipboard can be seen in the background.

The Doodle Frame is perfect for showcasing the photo in this beautiful layout created by Keren Tamir.  Although we all love to alter our chipboard pieces, sometimes leaving it bare is perfect!

We hope you've found something here today that inspires you to create this weekend!

Angelica's June Projects

Hello everyone! Angelica here today to share my June projects with you! Since being on the DT I've been using one paper collection each month. Well, time to mix it up. Today, my three layouts are from three different paper lines.

First up is my take on the June Sketch just flipping it. I used two papers Ombre Dreams Collection; Charlotte's Dream and Joyce's Dream.

 

I used the Beaded String Chippy to further embellish my title. I used the word "Smile" for the Laughter, Happy, Smile set.

 

I used the Circle Vine chipboard piece to hold my photos.

For this page I used Boudoir from the Blue Fern Garden collection as my background. I fussed cut the Wisdom paper from the Montage Collection and matted my photo.

I really don't do much to my chipboard pieces. Just some thick gesso and mists.  Here I used the Estate Railing piece.

 One of my favorite chippies are the Roman Clock Sets. Here I used the Large Set..

 Last but not least, I used the Love Story Collection. My daughter loves Alice in Wonderland so I made this for her. This line was perfect! I used the True Harmony, Twenty One, and Amazing Heart papers.

 I used the Queen of Hearts piece for my title and Heart Crowns as embellishments.

 The Card Suit Melody chippy is so unique! Love it!

 

Well, I hope that you've enjoyed my projects for June! I will be back in August for I'm breaking for July!

 

 

Mixed media- with Keren Tamir

Hello Everyone, Its Keren here with two new projects for the Blue Fern Studios blog.

I really love experimenting with Mixed Media Products.

It has become my passion and so today I'm showcasing two different projects heavily based on mixed media using many different Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces

First up is a 6x6 Shadow Box Frame Butterfly Canvas.

The whole canvas was inverted and framed with the Chelsea Frame. The frame was embossed in blue embossing powder and then dabbed with silver acrylic paint.

The centre of the canvas was filled with blue and silver glass beads. Then I glued a piece of the Turkish bits chipboard on the background.  Finally i used two butterflies from the Gabrielle butterfly set. All three pieces were embossed in either blue, silver or white respectively.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

My Second project today is a Steampunk 8x10 Mixed Media Canvas using different mechanical looking chipboard pieces and a real light bulb.

Its called 

"Let there be light"

I glued many different mechanical chipboard pieces like the cogs and gears, the light bulbs, the industrial corner, the working parts and some of the moving parts chipboard pieces. 

They were all covered in black gesso and then painted on top with different metallic paints.

The final touch was adding a real light bulb from my house. We recently changed a few of our light bulbs inside our home and so I've been using them in many of my projects. I figure its better to recycle them than throw them away.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog

have a fantastic day!!!

First DT Projects By Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share my first projects as a designer for Blue Fern Studios.  I'm thrilled to be designing for Blue Fern Studios and I hope that I inspire you with my projects.  
Here is a little about me . . .

I have a shabby chic style and have been scrapbooking for 15 years.  I live in the beautiful state of Maryland near our nation's capitol.  I am an Assistant Project Manager for a general contracting company.  Evenings and weekends you can find me in my scrapbook room or outside tending to my flower gardens.  You can find my blog here:

For my first layout I used papers from the Deja Vu Collection; Luminaries, Lustre, Tresors and Petities Cartes.  Love the gorgeous colors and details in the papers.

A few details:

Here I used the Butterfly Damask chipboard which I embossed with white embossing powder.

I cut pieces from the Quartre Foil chipboard and embossed with white embossing power.  I randomly placed pieces on my layout.

Here I have used the chipboard word Special which I inked purple.

A few details:

Tucked being my photo is the new Photo Arches chipboard which I painted with some Shimmerz Inklingz in Sheer Bliss and then embossed with some white embossing powder.

I cut the bottom strip off of the paper and used it as my title and placed in on the Flutter Medley chipboard which I painted with the Shimmerz Inklingz Sheer Bliss and embossed with white embossing powder.  I held my heat gun close to the chipboard to obtain the bubbled texture.  I stamped some of my paper layers with the Vintage Edges stamp.

Here I used the chipboard word love from the Adore, Love, Cherish set which I covered with some red dimensional paint.

The word adorable from the Perfect, Adorable, Special set was inked with pastel pink.

This beautiful chipboard piece is from the Deja Vu Dangles which I also embossed with the shabby pink embossing enamel and added a little metal bird cage.

Three projects, three collections by Marie-Josée

Hello all,

I hope you are all doing fine. School is almost out (well, here in Canada), and summer is just around the corner. Here are a few projects for you!

Box + easel card

I created this gift box with an easel card on top with the Déjà Vu paper collection. I used two different papers: Friperies for the box, and Un voyage à Paris for the card.

I altered one of the butterflies from the Brigitte Butterfly Set with white gesso and purple mist.

I also used a piece of the Country Picket Fence, altered with white gesso:

"Delight" layout

For this layout, I used a paper from the Blue Fern Garden paper collection, the first released by Blue Fern.

I glued the Checker Bits chipboard pieces to my background and added white gesso on top with a sponge.

I also altered a piece of the Postage Frames chipboard set with white gesso. The word Delight from the Delight set was altered with Gelatos. I just used the Gelatos on the bare chipboard and with my finger and a bit of water, I applied the color all over.

"Memories Captured" layout

This layout was created with the Ombré Dreams paper collection. The paper I used is Julianna's Dream.

 I used the Crosshatch Frame under my photo. I didn't alter it.

I also used the Memories Captured chipboard from the Captured Words set. This piece was also used as is, without any medium.
