Bloom layout - by Vicky Alberto

I am pretty sure that Blue Fern's Bird Waltz collection is my FAVE to date. Here is a layout of my daughter's school photo. I usually have a hard time with school photo layouts, but this was the perfect paper collection for the "fake" picture backdrop they provided. So Whimsical!

Many gorgeous Bleu Fern products layered on here... Summer, Pink and Apricot blooms, "take flight" bird chipboard (used chalk ink for colors), "bloom" title chipboard (used ink base and topped with Blue Fern's morning sun powder), "floral lace" chipboard (distressed inked). 

I added some pretty doily accents from my stash and tucked more blooms in the top corner to balance things out. This was such a fun project!

Thanks for visiting the blog today!

Radiance collection layout - by Vicky Alberto

I am sharing a layout created with the new Radiance collection from Blue Fern.  These papers and blooms are truly gorgeous.  This collection also features some pretty silver charms and lace too!  I accented with bling and a doily from my stash to pull everything together for a vintage look.  For the title I even used an adhesive shape from the Remnants collection... that just fit perfectly on here.


On the close-up you can see the cute butterfly charm, Radiance and Apricot collection blooms, Mina's border chipboard (randomly distressed inked it) and some of that gorgeous vintage green lace.


Thanks for taking a peek at my project today!

Card and box with Amber & Apricot

Hello and welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog.
Today I'm sharing a card and matching box I made with the sweet Amber & Apricot collection.


I'm in love with this paper collection! The colors and the sweet flower patterns are so pretty.
I first made the box, using a template maker site,  out of white cardstock.
I covered the box with the patterned papers and added a ribbon.





Then I made the card. I made it so it could fit in the box.


I added lace, chipboard pieces, flowers, cuts from the papers, ribbon
 and a chipboard butterfly.



The card and box are a nice gift for a friend.



Here a list of the BFS products I used:

Papers:
Amber & Apricot

Chipboard:
Valerie's butterflies
Amber & Apricot printed chipboard

Lace:
 Lace 2
Seam binding

Flowers:
Apricot blooms


Thanks so much for visiting!
Hugs, Henriƫtte.

Mixed Media Grateful Canvas by Phoebe Tonosaki

Hello all, today I am sharing a new canvas with Blue Fern Studios.

It is a canvas for my baby brother.


My baby brother has always been there for me. He supports what I do and how I am without reasons. He may not understand what I am doing or all the details of the situations, but he gives me unconditionally love and applause.

He is a huge part of encouragement when I was enduring some difficult times in life.



To create this canvas, I simply used Blue Fern Studios papers to build up the background with different sizes of torn papers

The canvas background is lightly stamped with "Coarse Fabrics" to create some visual texture.

Chipboard was sprayed with a brown and pink tone of mist and then splattered with glitters.



Different sizes of flowers are added into different layers to make more dimensional effect.





The Blue Fern Studios products I have used are :
Paper
Happy Accidents

Chipboard
Barb's Medallion
Moldings
Wanderlust self adhesive printed chipboard shapes

Ephemera
Tattered Walls

Stamp
Coarse Fabrics

Flowers
Apricot Blooms
Summer Blooms

Embossing Powder
Iridescent Grey

Seedlings 

Mustard


Thank you for reading !

May Inspiration - Joanne Bain

Hello!!

Joanne here with you today to share a couple of layouts and a tutorial with you featuring In The Mood, Deja'Vu and Tranquility collections. These have been mixed and matched and go together beautifully.

'Remember When'


The idea for this layout started with the large heart which was cut from the Blissful paper from the In The Mood collection. I cut the heart out and folded in half, I then rolled the top corner to expose the inside pattern paper, its such a pretty colour. From there I wanted to work with soft pastel colours so I chose to do a lot of fussy cutting from the Atelier patterned paper from the Deja'Vu collection.


The fussy cut pieces were then layered in amongst the layers of Blue Fern blooms to create a gorgeous main cluster. I chose to use a darker background to make the soft colours pop.


At the base of the cluster I have used the Romantic Page Dangles chipboard. This has been left raw as I feel the raw colour complimented the page.


To add softness to the page I then added frayed cheesecloth and coordinating cotton thread. The title for my page was cut from one of the page title strips that is normally cut off and discarded, but I always look because sometimes these are perfect for titles just like this one.

For my next page I created a page for my son. I am always asked do you ever scrap boys? Well yes it just depends if my son wants to play along and have his photo taken. So today I have created a layout with a tutorial so you can scrap the special boy in your life.

'Happy'


This layout features fussy cut images from the Patience patterned paper from the Tranquility collection. I think the colours and images were perfect for a boyish page and look not a flower in sight.


Throughout the cluster I have placed some of the Blue Fern Shabby Brick Bits chipboard which has been coloured lightly to coordinate with my page.


To frame the photo and add extra texture I have used some this Jute string, I love its natural colouring. I have also added a little sprinkling of seedlings to this.


Between layers I have again used a natural coloured frayed cheesecloth which I have in places coloured with coordinating watercolour paint.


How cute is that little bird? Once again I have used the patterned paper title label strips that are cut off the pattern paper. The Tranquility strips had those cute little blue butterflies.

May Layouts by Jessica

"Happiness is Homemade"

Hello friends!  My first layout for the month uses the Homespun Collection.


Using the Homemade paper for my background and Home Sweet Home for matting, I used the printed chipboard under the picture and as my title.  I used Glass seedlings and Army Dust glitter along with the Crackle Texture Stamp with green mists to create the background.


To the left of the picture you will see the the heart from the XOXO Title chipboard primed with gesso then painted in 2 different colors of pink mists.  The lily on this side is from the Harvest Lillies set.


To the right of the page, you can see a piece of the Wanderlust Vine Set and flower from the Dark Tropic Lillies Set.  I used a piece of Lace #12 to decorate the bottom.

"'arty"

My next layout is pretty basic.  The background paper is Tweet Melody from the Amber & Apricot Collection.


I took four metal embellishments from my stash and painted them with black gesso.  Then I embossed them with Pearl embossing powder.  While the Pearl was still hot, I sprinkled Baby Pink embossing powder over it in spots to melt them together.  While they were still hot, I sprinkled some Petunia glitter over the embellishments.  For the background, I used a stencil with matte gel and Beating Heart seedlings.  You will also see the Tattered Newsprint stamping and the vertical stamping with one of the Distressed Titles stamps.


The Honey Comb Bits chipboard were embossed with Baby Pink and Coral embossing powder.


The pink lily is from the Harvest Lillies set and the little white bloom is from the Apricot Blooms set.

"Sweet and Happy"

My last project features the Remnants Collection.  The background paper is Devonshire, and I also used Bloomsbury paper and Mini Remnants paper pieces for my background work under the mists.  To make the tag under the photo, I used the Bloomsbury paper with the Tattered Newsprint Stamp.


All of the chipboard on this page is the Remnants Printed Chipboard.  Some of them I even used with gesso to create part of the background and adhered it to the paper with matte gel.  The title pieces are also part of the Printed Chipboard Pieces set with glossy adhesive medium applied to the tops.


The lilies are part of the Harvest Lillies set.


The frame behind the picture is actually from the Printed Chipboard pieces.  I embossed it with Green Ivory embossing powder and sprinkled some Dark Chocolate embossing powder on top while it was still hot.  I randomly applied Burgundy seedlings in spots around the picture.

May Inspiration by Debbie Burns

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with today to share my May projects.  I have three layouts using various Blue Fern Studios papers and products.

"Delightful"
I used three paper collections when creating this layout, Happy Accident, Garden Life and Heartland.  The background paper Fortuity is from Happy Accident.  I did some light masking and misting on the background.  I built up layers under the photo using additional papers from Happy Accident, Fluke, Lucky, Quirk and Windfall.  I did a lot of fussy cutting from In Bloom and Wallflower from Garden Life, and Bicycle for two and Love Song Serenade from Heartland.

Lots of beautiful flowers including Chesterville Florals, Apricot Blooms, Attic Charm Daisies and Moody Blooms.  I embossed the chipboard piece under the photo with my favorite Blue Fern Embossing Powder, Ivory and used a mixture of Sage, Green Ivory and Ivory on the leaves.

More layering under the photo with flowers cut from Garden Life and Heartland papers.

The chipboard title was covered with some pink spray and ink.  To the left of the title you can see more flowers that I fussy cut.

My next two layouts feature papers from the Wanderlust collection.

"Capture The Moment"
I used the Ocean Voyage paper for my background.   I used Calling Cards and Souvenir to build up layers under the photo of my mom and her family out on the lake.  I stamped with Tattered Newsprint, Grungy Grid and Forever stamps.  I applied some light brown misting.  

In this picture as well as the one below you can see the Wanderlust Lilies.  I applied some Twig and Gold Nugget Seedlings to the lilies as well as the background.

The chipboard pieces on each side of the photo were embossed with Taupe powder.

The title was also embossed with Taupe Embossing Powder.

I altered the Wanderlust Lilies with some white gold paste and a light misting.   I misted  the Heartland Blossom with a touch of gold.

I applied some Gold Nugget and Twig Seedlings to the flowers and background.
