3 Chrstmas layouts with Yuko

Have you all had a wonderful Christmas?

I spent my time at home with my family.

Today I would like to introduce three Christmas layouts!

【joy】

I love paper of this red stripe!

However, anything becomes much the same when based on this.

So I made half daringly this time and used it.

Corner chip board was processed with ANTIQUEGOLD embossed powder.

The letter of the title posted red glitter FIRE ENGINE.

A layout of Christmas may become a lot gorgeous.

I also pressed the clear stamp.

Chipboard  Dangled Flake/Chunky Words/Formal Corners

Glitter  FIRE ENGINE

Embossing Powder　ANTIQUEGOLD

【wish】

Very pale light blue color friendly atmosphere paper.

But since the ornament of the colorful tree was reflected in the photograph

I dared to make a monochrome photograph.

This neighborhood attached various textures.

The light blue lame is very beautiful with light blue and silver mixed!

I applied a brick texture with Modape.

I was able to meet before drying so that 

the surface can be traced like a toothbrush 

so that irregularities can be made.

Because I wanted the snow here to feel a bit frozen

I used GLOSS GEL and dyr glitter.

I also used a stamp here.

It will be tightened if a little black comes in.

Chipboard  Winter Cabin/Wish, Wonder, Dream

【Cool Christmas】

The end is a little classical feeling.

The picture is Christmas 

in Harry Potter area of Universal Studios Japan!

I went to the other day, 

but it is different from colorful tree etc. in USJ

Very chic and cool image tree and cityscape.

So I tried making it a little cool.

I'm really happy to use this picture !

I also did this coloring method in my class

It is a process to make two color embossed powder overlap.

This method is favorite because it can be used anything at all .

The fluffy snow is piled up!

I also made snow on the flowers.

Blue Fern Studios' DT that I had for three years

is also the last in this month.

At first there is only a chip board,

Although shops handled in Japan 

were also few manufacturers

It has become a very famous manufacturer

 in the past few years since paper has been released!

I was really happy to be involved with Blue Fern Studios ❤

I never thought I could do it for three years

I was really happy!

I also appreciate Valerie who always reply me gently

 in my poor English! 

DT is over, but  I love Blue Fern Studios ❤

I'm going to use a lot to continue making works!

Thank you very much!

Merry Christmas for My Last Post- By Keren Tamir

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here for the Blue Fern Studios blog for the last time.

After 3 amazing years being on the Blue Fern Studios Design Team it is time for me to say goodbye.

It was wonderful to be part of the team for so long and use their wonderful products.

I'm very grateful to have had this opportunity!!!

Here are my projects for this post!!

"Scandinavian Winter"

I created this 5x7 canvas depicting a scandinavian winter.

I used the Tree Trimmings paper from Vintage Christmas 2 collection for the background.

I embossed 2 of the Winter Village chipboard pieces and a snowflake with Icicle embossing powder and then added some gold glitter on it.

Once I glued everything I added some snow paste to enhance the winter feel.

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

"Winter"

I created this wintery layout using a picture of myself from a few winters ago.

I used the  back of the Holiday Cards paper from the Vintage Christmas 2 for the background.

I used the large chipboard flake to frame my photo. I cut the inside of the flake so I would have a space in the middle to frame my photo. Then I embossed it with Sea Mist embossing powder.

I used some shabby flakes and winter flakes to embellish around the frame. I embossed them along with the Winter title with Snow embossing powder.

I also added some snow paste to enhance the wintery feel.

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

 "Chritmas Cards"

Finally I created 3 Christmas cards: 

The first one uses both the Vintage Christmas collections and the Dangle flake as an embellishment. The chipboard was embossed with Golden Bricks embossing powder.

The Second Card also uses both Vintage Christmas collections

To embellish I added some Blue Fern blooms and a Holiday Deer that was also embossed in golden Bricks embossing powder

For the last card, I used the Deer ornament which was embossed in 14 karat embossing powder.

I used some flowers and cheesecloth to embellish the card as well!!

Thank you so much for visiting Blue Fern Studios Blog

and thank you for supporting me for so many years!!!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New year!!

Love,

Keren

Christmas Eve, with Karine

Hi, Blue Fern Studios fans,

What a great year it's been. I can't believe it's over! I had such a wonderful time being a part of this team and would like to thank Valerie and Leslie for the opportunity.

And since it's Christmas Eve, I would like to share my last Christmas creations. I made two sets of cards and a layout.

Wonder and Noel

For those two cards, I did start with a 6x6 card, covered with the Jolly paper from the Vintage Christmas 2 collection. I then put another square, slightly smaller, from the Tree Trimmings paper, also from the Vintage Christmas 2 collection. 

I used the Large Flake chipboard, covered with Frozen Imagine Ink embossing powder. A piece of cheese cloth to soften the look. After that, I went with an image from the Jolly paper.

My title piece comes from the Winter Titles set. I covered it with Snow Imagine Ink embossing powder. I used some modeling paste to give the effect of snow. I did the same with the Chelsea vines. The flowers are from the Attic Charm Glitter Roses and Christmas Blooms.

For this card, I began with the same two patterned papers as the card above. My circle chipboard piece is the Splattered Circles set. I embossed it again with Frozen Imagine Ink embossing powder. After I put cheese cloth, I die-cut this little lady from the Let It Snow paper from the Vintage Christmas 2. 

My title piece comes from the Winter Titles set. I covered it with Snow Imagine Ink embossing power and modeling paste. I did the same with the Chelsea Vines, again.

And again, the flowers are from the Attic Charm Glitter Roses and the Christmas Blooms.

Blue Fern Studios products used:

Tree Trimmings, Jolly and Let it Snow papers from the Vintage Christmas 2 collection.  

Chelsea Vines, Splattered Circles, Large Flake and Winter Titles chipboards

Christmas

For those two cards, I went a little big because I wanted cards in which I could write a longer message. On my kraft cardstock, I added a piece of the Auld Lang Syne paper from the Vintage Christmas 1 collection. Over it, I added some modeling paste through a stencil. I then layered a piece of corrugated paper.

I cut one of the Lace Round in half, putting each piece on each side of my composition. I left this chipboard bare, to match the kraft of my card base. My sentiment is cut from the 'Twas the Night chipboard. The whole title was too big to put on my card, so I cut it apart to keep only the word «Christmas».

On this card, I used the Spring Branch. I painted la very light coat of white gesso, and then, I embossed part of it with Breeze Imagine Ink embossing powder.

On my second card, I used the Blooming Flourishes, that I embossed with Breeze Imagine Ink embossing powder. 

I also used the Shabby Flakes, that I embossed with Snow Imagine Ink embossing powder. My large doily chipboard is the Dream Catcher chipboard. 

My Christmas title is cut from the Holly Jolly Christmas piece. On both of my cards, I used Attic Charm Daisies, Christmas Blooms and Spring Lilies flowers.

I started out this layout with the Holiday Treats paper from the Vintage Christmas 2 collection. I put a light coat of white gesso in the bottom part of the paper, where my main composition will be. I then used some modeling paste through a brick stencil. Green inks to add a bit of color, and some stamping complete the background work.

My trees comes from the Winter Forest set. I covered them with Antique Gold Imagine Ink embossing powder.

Behind my photo, I used a part of the Mémoires Frame, also covered with Antique Gold embossing powder. On the picture above, You can see a cute little guy that I fussy cut from the Let It Snow paper, from the Vintage Christmas 2 collection.

I also used the Tree Trimmings (Vintage Christmas 2) and the Greeting Cards (Vintage Christmas 1) papers to mat my picture. The cute deer is also part of the Winter Forest set. I embossed it, like I did with every other chipboard on this layout, with Antique Gold embossing powder. On the picture above, you can also see that I used the Grungy Grid stamp.

I even used this tiny piece of the Tree Trimmings paper (the Merry Christmas rectangle). I didn't waste a bit of this gorgeous collection!

My title piece comes from the Winter Titles set. My flowers are from the Attic Charm Glitter Roses and the Tranquil Blooms.
