Goodbye post from Video Educator Marta Lapkowska

Hello everyone,

It's Marta Lapkowska here. I am back to you with my last projects created for Blue Fern Studios.
I had such a great time being Video Educator for Blue Fern Studios. Wonderful products with great quality and original designs.
I will miss my team mates and all of you great followers.

I hope you will enjoy my two last layouts and grab some inspiration for yourself.

My first make is a mixed media based page. I love Autumn Anthology paper collection. It's beautiful, romantic and sophisticated!


I used mediums to add texture and colour to my background.


Another great way to add interest to your page is to stamp. Blue Fern has a wonderful selection of stamp sets.



As you can see I embossed my chipboards using white embossing powder.
You can follow whole creative process on my video tutorial. Enjoy !



My second project for today is clean and simple page.
I used paper from Autumn Anthology collection called 'Le Ballon'.


To add some interest to my background I added some splashes with sprays and stamping.



Chipboards were embossed with black embossing powder. I like the contrast created by adding black colour. Title 'Happy' stands out greatly.



I wish to thank for having me here!
It was my great plasure.

Hope to see you soon. Hugs, Marta Lapkowska xx

Look What We Found!

Have we told you how happy you make us?  Well, we hope you know how much we love seeing what you create using Blue Fern products.  Sometimes we just can't help ourselves, and have to show off some of YOUR layouts that we have found on your blogs.  We hope you enjoy these beautiful projects from your fellow paper-crafters.

Have you heard the rumor that purple is a difficult color to use?  It's SO not true.  Anna Rogalska's beautiful layout using this elegant purple paper from our Deja Vu collection is proof that you have absolutely no reason to be afraid of purple. 




Анастасия Миронова also used purple accents on her very colorful layout.  
The paper is from the Ombre Dreams collection.




Karine Gagnon created this artistic layout.  We love the background she created, 
and how well her photo stands out.  The paper is from the Montage collection. 




We found this very sweet layout by Michelle on her blog.  There are so many 
beautiful details to love about it.  The paper is from the Sanctuary collection.




Kavitha's layout, using paper from the Frolic line, is so soft and dreamy.  
What a gorgeous mix of embellishments!


These five layouts are so very different in style, and show just how versatile Blue Fern paper is.  
Thanks ladies, for your awesome inspiration!

October projects from Zanka

Hello everybody!
I'd like to share some of my latest BFS creations with you.

'Dreaming in color'

This layout is based on one of the sheets from Deja vu which I have cut in pieces and rearranged to have most of the pattern crossing in the middle. I have covered the cuts with washi tape and chipboard pieces. The chipboards are treated with gesso and watercolours.
Chipboards:  Turkish panel, Crossing the lines.
Stamps: Halftone

'XOXO'

For this layout I have used both sides of the same sheet from Botanical Garden, to achieve contrasting yet beautifully coordinated colour layers.
Except for the title piece, the chipboards are plain. The title is painted white and embossed with BFS embossing powder Petal.
Chipboards : Lace Heart Border, Deja vu Luminaires, XOXO

Elegant Cards.
I'm ending with two simple cards, which I made of cardstock bases, pieces of Botanical Garden papers and some BFS chipboards, just slightly touched with glitter.



Chipboards : Bits of honey, Butterfly friends, Organic vine corner
Glitter: Pyrite

Thanks for stopping by today!

Autumn Anthology with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, everyone! 

I'm here today to share my October Blue Fern Studios projects using the Autumn Anthology collection. Fall colors are a fave of mine, so this was just plain FUN!

 "Memories"

Starting with a vintage photo of my mom, I've used the Le Ballon and Mercantile paper as my base and focused on a few fave pieces of chipboard, the Oval Daisy Frame and the new French Ironworks .. so gorgeous! I painted them with some distress paint and then did some random embossing with a gold embossing powder. I was going for a very rusted look. I finished the pieces off with a dab of metallic patina. 

Of course, there is some mixed media in the background and use of the new Imagine Mist in Persimmon as well as the texture stamp. Persimmon is such a great color! I've fussy cut and layering in some pieces from the Calling Cards and some butterflies from Frolic Dans le Jardin. 

Close-ups:


Love to frame my photos with chipboard! 


This new French Ironwork is so intricate .. in love! 



I snipped it into two pieces and used some here.

"Love"

Next is just a very sweet romantic page of my daughter and her husband using the Gazebo paper. I've used lots of the new Imagine Ink mist in Leaf on my background to really give it some pop, then pulled the purple and gold flowers from the paper by adding similar 3 dimensional ones. I completed the background with Texture stamp. Behind the photo are Newsworthy and Calling Cards layered in. The little bird was fussy cut from the Newsworthy paper.

My Iron Signage, Ironwork Edges, Victorian Corner and Love from the Good Vibes set were all treated the same way. I first primed with gesso and then did a little experiment with some textured spray paint from the hardware store. Definitely something that needs to be done outside!! The smell is quite harsh but it gave the cupboard a fun look. After that dried completely, I misted all the pieces with some black mist.



The Doily Bunting (a fave) was left raw because it was a nice warm brown color and seemed to blend nicely as is with my photo. 


Love this new Iron Signage piece and can see myself using it a lot. 


I've been saving the Victorian Corner for just the right project and this was it.
 But now, it's on my re-order list!

"An Autumn Story" 

You've probably seen this one already because it was done using the October Sketch. The photo was of myself and one of my uncles taken many years ago at my Grandmother's farm. 



The title piece and Butterfly Friends were inked in brown, then some gold embossing was added to the butterflies for sparkle. 



Again, just some simple inking on the Seasonal Wildflowers and Berry Stems in green. Then I spritzed them with the new Leaf mist. Finally, I added a little glitter glue to the Wildflowers .. hardy ever use that stuff anymore!
