Today It Is All About YOU!

Today we would like to show off some of the beautiful and creative ways all of you use Blue Fern Studios products.  You take our paper, chipboard, and stamps, and use them in ways we never imagined.  So sit back, and enjoy this inspiration from some very talented ladies!

Solange Marques of Brazil used the lovely Correspondence paper from the Sanctuary Collection as the background for her layout.  She chose a photo of herself taken on her birthday.  We won't tell you which one, but her layout might give it away.  What an awesome way to remember this special day, Solange!

We found this layout in the Blue Fern Gallery. It was uploaded by Catherine Giguere.  This paper is the very popular Meadows of Time from the Sanctuary collection.  The grunge she added in the background so perfectly brings attention to the darling photo.  Thanks for showing off our paper so well, Catherine!

Charlotte of the UK did a stunning job with several papers from the Sanctuary Collection, and added a Blue Fern title, as well.  This is vintage at its very best, Connie, and a true showpiece. 

We love the artsy background Joyce Lawrence created on this layout.  She began with a sketch as inspiration and this Blue Fern circle chipboard piece fit right in.  We love the way Joyce uses our chipboard!

Last, but not least, Jackie Clark took a section of our Chunky Heart Panel, which is almost a 12-inch square piece of chipboard, and turned it into a background for this sweet and grungy card.  Don't be intimidated by larger chipboard designs -- they can easily be cut apart and used for numerous projects. She got lots of texture by running it through an embossing folder and distressing it with ink.  What a great look, Jackie!

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to leave these ladies some wonderful comments!

Love Story projects by Zanka

Hello!
It's my turn to share some more project which I created in February using BFS elegant Love Story collection. This is just a small share of the wonderful possibilities which this collection can be used for.
For my first project I picked Grand Ball, my absolute favourite paper in the whole collection! I worked both with the front and the back side, and I can't make up my mind-which one do I like more ;)

This  layout's colour scheme was entirely inspired by the colours of the paper pattern.

I have used some plain chipboards which I think match perfectly for the colours here. The branch is randomly dabbed with gesso. The heart is primed with gesso and covered with glossy accents and embossed with a distress powder.
Chipboards used:
Spring Branch, Lace Heart Border, word set Laughter, Happy , Smile, Layering Stems

My second project is also inspired by the base paper colours but as you see, the palette and style are completely different here.

I used Love Story stamp sets 1 & 2 to fill up the background with the stamp collage.
Chipboards: Circle Vine, Mixed Chains. The framed is primed with gesso and painted with crackle paste.

Thank you for spending a moment with me today, have a fantastic creative day!

Masculine Layouts with Einat Kessler

Hey crafty friends Einat Kessler here with some masculine layouts for your inspiration!
My first layout lets the chipboard speak out loud. The layout is all about a day in the science museum with my two boys.

Creating a masculine layout can sometimes be challenging, but I look at it like any other layout. I try to use more masculine colors and chipboards and not make its look too feminine with flowers or cutesy embellishments.

Having said that...my other layout has plenty of flowers on it. Who says you can't add flowers to a boys' layout? You can! I just try to keep them in the more masculine color scheme and avoid pink :)

BFS Supplies:

Papers:

Sanctuary: Bountiful

Sanctuary: Birdsong Melody

Chipboard:

Techno Rings

Industrial Gears

Roman Clock Set

Have fun creating!

Love Story with Angelica

Hello friends! I'm happy to be here today to share three layouts I created using the beautiful new collection, Love Story. This is collection is so pretty and versatile. Some of the papers have vibrant bold colors and others are more subtle. Good for those shabby pages!

My first layout is based on the February Sketch. I used the lightest paper, The Grand Ball, for the base of my page and the Calling Card paper. I did some masking and used the little stars on the Forever Stamp for some texture.

I painted the Boston Lattice, Love, and Heart Set with heavy gesso. For the negative part of the heart I stamped with the Texture Stamp 1 when the gesso was still wet. It left a nice impression of the honeycombs. Once all the pieces were dry I did some misting for some color.

 

For my second page I want to use a whole different color combo from the sketch page. The reds and greens in the True Harmony paper is gorgeous.  I also used the Twenty One paper for layering. I painted the Brick Panel chippy with gesso and stucco paste. Then rubbed some ink on the raised texture.

 For the Cherish chippy I just painted it red and added glitter so it can pop from the page.

Finally, for my third page I've been waiting for the perfect time to use the Brown Eyed Girl Chippy.

The colors that I had in mind worked just right with the Sweet Song, Concerto, and Calling Card papers. I cut a bit off the end of the Beaded Strings chippy.

 

Thank you for visiting! I hope that I've inspired you!
