Parts & Pieces w/Erin Blegen

Hello Blue Fern Studios friends! Erin Blegen here today with my last two projects for the month, showing you how to use up some of your bits and pieces for those who like to piece apart your chipboard to make the most of it. We all like our product to go a little further!

For both projects, I've used 7 Dots Studio products as we continue our month-long swap with them. What fun it has been combining them with Blue Fern chipboard!

First up, I have a canvas to share:

"Grown Up"
I had two pieces remaining from the Doily Bunting and Page Chains sets. I made them a part of my mixed media background by applying gesso, tape, and embossing powder over top of them.



Products Used:

Page Chains

Doily Bunting

(7 Dots Studio Products Used: "Messy Head" Collection paper and Elements, "All I Ever" Collection paper and Stickers, "9th Wave" Collection paper, and "Hopefully" Collection Stickers)

Next up, I have a very girly tag :)
"Love Happens!" Tag
For this tag, I took the top section of the Princess Window and one of the Heart Set pieces. 

I simply painted the heart piece with gesso to accent the title of my tag. The window piece was primed with gesso before being traced with glossy accents. While the glossy accents was still wet, I sprinkled on broken glass glitter, star sequins, and microbeads. 

Products Used:

Princess Window

Heart Set

(7 Dots Studio Products Used: "Messy Head" 6x6 Designer Pad and Elements)

Thank-you so very much for stopping by today! I hope you've had the chance to play along with our monthly sketch challenge- just a few more days left!

See you soon :)

A Layout + A Canvas - Kelly's September Shares

 Hello there - Kelly here. I hope your weekend is going well so far...
It is my turn to share my pages for the Blue Fern and 7 Dots Studio swap..

 For this first layout, I have combined papers from the Dreamer collection with a little bit of Messy Head, along with elements from the All I ever and Hopefully collections. I like to mix and match!


I really had a great time with these fun summer photos of two of my greatest loves :) :)
I used the Heart Panel - Chunky, to "ground"  my larger photo. This piece was embossed with white embossing powder, brushed a bit with Gelatos, then I added some stamping. I used a couople of the hearts punched out of the same piece here and there on my page.


I have also used the word "Love" from the 2 Hearts Set, and altered it the same as the Heart Panel.


Next, I have an 8x10 reverse canvas...which I used the Messy Head collection from 7 Dots Studio. 


Again, on this page, I have used another section of the Heart Panel - Chunky. This is one piece of chipboard that really goes a long way..there are so many options to cut it up to suit your project(s). I have made two layouts, and one canvas so far with this piece and still have some leftover!

Autumn colours

Hi there!
Camilla here with some new Blue Fern Studios projects. I have been using some faboulous papers from 7Dots Studios too.

First, a layout using the Dreamer collection from 7Dots. Here I use three different chipboards from BFS. The Lattice Gate is first painted in white gesso and then sprayed with mists and finally I used a stamp on it.


The One of a Kind is painted in white and then covered with crackle clear paint.


The Spring Branches are first painted in white gesso and then misted.

Then I have made a card using the Hopefully collection from 7Dots Studios together with two chipboard pieces from BFS.


The chipboard pieces are painted in white and then I used two different kind of stamps to make some patterns.
