Elena Morgun wiht a video tutorial

Hello!

Elena Morgun here, to share with you my first video as an Educator for Blue Fern Studios, and I am so excited to join this amaizng team!

But first a little about myself:

I'm 25 years old. I live in Ukraine. I am a happy mother to 2 lovely kids.

Scrapbooking is a huge part of my life, and it is more than a hobby by now. I can not imagine my day without scrapping. I am happy to share my tips and knowledge in my tutorials.

I am constantly learning new things. I am playing with new techniques and materials all the time. I am open to the experiments and you can often see their results in my creations. One of the most distinctive characteristics of my style is that I love mixing dark grunge accents with the tender flowers and lace.

I’m delighted to be joining Blue Fern Studios on this new journey!

I hope you enjoy my creations!

You can also find me HERE on my blog and HERE on my Youtube Channel.

July projects from Camilla

Hi! Camilla here with a layout and a card. For both projects I have used papers from the Ombré Dreams collection.

When I made the layout I created the background by using Color Blooms, masks, stamps and texture paste. Then I added some paper layers underneath the photos and then some flowers and chipboards. The chipboards are painted with white gesso, then I used a script stamp before I inked with fluid ink chalk in blue.

Here is a close-up of the Blue Fern Flourish:

And the By the Sea chipboard:

And finally the Checker Bits:

This is the card. The chipboards are painted in white gesso with a hint of orange in it. Then I stamped with a script stamp.

The chipboards I have used are Lace Rounds and Wild Flourish Bundle.

Thanks for looking!

The first is the cover and the first page of a mini album, project "No regrets" that will do throughout the year, with reflective about my life...


In the cover's chipboards I used acrilic paint, liquid pearl and colorless relief.

In this chippie I used just acrilic paint, some gelatos and spray ink...

April Projects with Rae

Happy Sunday! It's Rae with you to share some projects I've made this month. 

Dream Layout

First up, I have my sketch layout. You may have seen it if you have checked out our April sketch challenge. Here is the lovely sketch:

And, here is my take on it using the Blue Fern Garden paper collection:

Here's a closeup of the "Beaded Strings" circle piece. I primed it with gesso, then used a blending tool with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink by Ranger. I finished the treatment by adding some random stamping with a text stamp in archival ink, and placed some bling on each of the "beads."

This piece from the "Ironworks Accents" set fit perfectly at the top of the layout. I primed it with gesso, then added some Ranger "cement" embossing powder, then lightly added some grey chalk ink for added distressing.

The "Blue Fern Flourish" is tucked under the flowers. I used gesso to prime (of course!), then added some green Distress Stain and some olive chalk ink after the stain was dry. 

If you haven't already, play along with us this month with the April sketch: April Sketch Challenge!

Butterfly Tag

For this tag I used three keys from the "Vintage Keys" set. I colored them with silver Izink without priming them first to create a "dull" look to the keys.

I painted this "Bohemian Butterfly" with glossy black paint with a sponge. When it was dry, I glued it to some pink paper, then cut around it. I topped it off with some crystals to accent the body. 

Dream Big Layout

And, the last project I am sharing today is this layout:

I tucked the "Seasonal Wildflowers" under the picture after coloring it with blue chalk ink and sponging on some walnut stain Distress Ink. I layered the different inks several times in random spots, and added some small blooms.

This title is from "The Optimist Word Set." I primed it with gesso, then added some Ranger embossing ink in turquoise. It was a little brighter than I wanted it to be, so I used some brown chalk ink to randomly tone down that blue. 

For the "Doily Bunting" I grazed it with black archival ink, then added some wired raffia along the "string," and then placed tiny blooms on each doily.

Thank you for letting me share my projects with you today! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Cages All Over by Camilla

Hi! Camilla Ekman here with some new projects and I am using some new fabulous chipboards from Blue Fern Studios. 

To create this rather neutral layout I layered some different patterned papers from Maja Design and also used a mask to create a white swirl. As a photo mat I used the BFS Graduated Circles. Underneath the circle I used two Blue Fern Flourishes, one to the left and one to the right. I clustered some flowers and a vine and added two cages from the BFS Veranda Cage Set. The chipboards are painted in white gesso.

Next is a girly layout where I use the BFS Princess Window as a part of my photo mat. A beautiful cage from the BFS Veranda Cage Set and a Bohemian Butterfly shine among the flowers and pearl swirls. Those chipboards are also painted in white gesso. The papers are from Maja Design.

Blue Fern Studios products used:

My last project for this month is a bag card. I decorated the front of a paper bag. You can put a small gift inside and then close the paper bag and give it away as a card. The BFS Grande Cage is the centre of attention and I have only added a few small roses and some pink seam binding. The papers are from Maja Design.

Make sure to stop by the day after tomorrow to see some new projects from the Blue Fern Studios Design Team!

Two projects with Irina Gerschuk

Hi there my dear scrappy friends))))

It's Irina with you today. And I'd like to share with you my two new projects.

First one is a LO. On the photo is my little sister. Well, maybe not so little any more... She is almost 12 years old now and has her own opinion about everything)))) For example not long ago she decided not to photo ever again. Thanks the Universe, Alexandra loves scrapbooking! So after all she agreed to stand in front of my camera for a few minutes)))

And here are some close-ups:
I mixed six different kinds of BFS chippies in this LO. Different designs perfectly match and complement each other! And it was so much fun to play with them)))

I used Blue Fern Frame as a mask here. It looks amazing!

The designs of some of the chippies are so delicate that it was not hard to gave them more dimension by bending them and passing between other embellishments:

It took quite a time to realize how to finish the composition on the top. But after all I saw a swirly heart from the Heart Set and took a little piece from it that matched all the flourishes.

All the BFS chippies I covered with white embossing powder and than added a little bit of bronze emboss powder as a second layer. I was trying to achieve some shabby effect (as an old paint or rust).

And here are the Blue Fern Studios products I used for the LO:

Blue Fern Frame (074325):

Blue Fern Flourish (074400):

Blooming Flourish (074509):

Organic Vine Corner (074622):

Large Blue Fern Flourish (074493):

Heart Set (074417):

The second project is a soft notebook made from scratch:

Some details:

I covered the Symphony Border with gold embossing powder to match the color of the fabric:

I used the Symphony Border (074530):

Well ladies, I really hope that you've had some fun)))) And thanks for stopping!

Wish you all the best!
