Let It Snow

Hello my friends, today I am sharing a giant tag I made using "Christmas Cheer".

My background is a cardboard tag covered with a sheet called Joyful.

I embellished the Let It Snow tag with white glitter and a snowflake border. I cut some Christmas flowers from Lace # 4.

I then cut some fussy cut branches, bells, and the Christmas Tide diamond. 

I cut Lace #17 into some snowflakes and used it whole at the bottom of the tag. After adding some stars from my stash, I hung my tag inside a branch frame and topped it with a bow! 

I hope it inspires you! 

Warmest wishes, 

Bonnie

 Christmas Cheer Ephemera Folio

I've created a Stuffed Ephemera Folio using the new 

Christmas Cheer collection

The cover features chipboard along with Blue Fern Blooms in red, blue and yellow highlighting a beautiful image from the paper design

 

Every pocket, tuck, nook and cranny are filled with ephemera pieces created from the papers and ephemera packs.  

 Sandwiched in between the pockets and ephemera is a little fourteen page journal to record all your Christmas memories.  

Check out my Blue Fern Designs playlist on YouTube (Gayle Agostinelli) to see how I created this folio along with a full flip through here:

Wishing you a holiday packed with Christmas Cheer!

A Cup of Christmas Cheer

Christmas Greetings! 

To start this sweet project I chose the candy cane striped paper called "Cheerful" then layered an adorable piece of the newsprint paper called "Sparling", both from the new Christmas Collection!

I tucked the tiny emphera calling card into a cup of cocoa after inking it red and edging it in copper glitter. I added a fussy cut candy cane for flavor!

I used a star shaped emphera with some fussy cut birds.

I think the wooden tag, joy, turned out so cute with a little brown paint. My gingerbread girl is sporting some Blue Fern embossing powder in gold and piece of lace, #7a. I further decorated a tiny tree, gingerbread buttons and a holly sprig with some burlap ribbon, all from my stash. 

Thank you for looking and I wish you a cup full of Christmas blessings!

Christmas Kirigami Box - by Vicky Alberto

Happy Friday! I am here to share a handmade kirigami box... perfect for the gift giving season. This box was made with the phenomenal new Blue Fern Christmas Cheer collection. The coordinating ephemera and chipboard in this collection is so vintage and just my style! I added a white bloom from the Homespun collection and a pretty silver charm from the Radiance collection.

On the "Christmas Cheer" chipboard piece, I simply stippled gesso and sprayed with light green color mist - for a vintage look. At the bottom of the box topper I glued some gorgeous Blue Fern lace to polish it off. This box is 4"x 4"x 4". These take a bit of time to make but are worth putting something special in them. Here is a link to a tutorial I once did on how to make the basic box:

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at my project.

Sparkle all the way

 I have a Christmas layout for you today using the new Christmas Cheer collection from Blue Fern Studios.

This collection is full of traditional Christmas colors which I love! 

  I used a stencil from Fabrika Decoru and added some trees. I used liquids pearls and stickles to decorate them. I also added some snowflakes.

 I used Jolly, Merry and Ecstatic papers to frame my photo.

  I used the chipboard Sparkle Snowflakes for my title. I heat embossed my title with Ginger embossing powder.

   I used some Blue Fern lace and sprayed it with Queen of Hearts mist and used it to divide my page. I also painted the chipboard snowflakes with gesso then sprinkled red glitter over them for some added sparkle. 

I used beautiful Prima Flowers to embellish this page.

Last close-up.

I hope you enjoyed my layout and I will see you soon!

All the  best! :)

Double Z fold Christmas card

Hi everyone, DT Henriëtte here today sharing a double Z fold card made with the new 

Christmas Cheer collection.

I found the inspiration and a tutorial for this special fold card on 

Kathy Clement's Youtube channel.

I made the cardbase from ivory cardstock and decorated all the panels with the

beautiful Christmas Cheer patterned papers.

On the center panel I made a pocket for a big tag. 

I will write my Christmas wishes on the tag.

I used the ephemera pieces from the collection to decorate the card but also 

two chipboard pieces. 

I embossed the chipboard with oatmeal embossing powder. 

On the chipboard Christmas tree I glued Fir tree seedlings.

The back of the Z fold card is also decorated with the cheerful papers.

I'm very pleased with the result.

This special card will be on it's way soon,  I hope it's recipient likes it too.

Thanks for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog.

Hugs, Henriëtte.
