March projects by Tartine Peluche

Hi Everyone!

Today it's my turn and I'm so excited to share with you my new projects.

For beginning, here is my first layout..

I used a paper from Chesterville collection.

I worked a lot on my background again, and I really love the result.

-It's your story-

The main chipboard is Rose Wreath which I cut into parts.

I embossed with the Snow embossing powder.

I wanted to give impression that the chipboard flowers were packed in fabrics.

I use coarse fabric jute. All the background is created from pearls and small rocks such as a packing full of jewelry. Just add some flowers harmoniously and the trick is played.

This chipboard is the rest of the Spirit of Heartland which I used last month on another layout. I simply embossed with Sand & Sea Embossing Powder after putting white gesso.

For this page I wanted to use white flowers, so I chose that of Heartland Blossom tissue.

Blue Fern Studios products I've used:
Paper:
Chesterville - Whitford
Chipboards:
- Rose Wreath
- Rose Frame
- Spirit of Heartland
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder:
- Sand & Sea
- Snow
Flowers:Heartland Blossom

------------------------------

For the second layout you can see my face, a page I made with everything I love.

This page is really me a condensed of my style. Hope you love it.

- Bonheur -

I started my layout with Generation from Attic Charms collection.

I created my background with Crackles Texture and Serendipity stamps. I put some texture paste and work with inks. A few small rocks and beads an a little bit of mika flakes and some bits of thread gave the result of my background ... and you know everything.

I chose the perfect flower, that of the collection Harvest Lilies.

For chipboard, I wanted a small frame to accompany that of paste fimo that I made.

The kit Sweet & Lucky was perfect to use as a frame; I used the '' Lucky ''. I started by coating it with white gesso and used a thermal powder ( heat & stick powder ) When heated to heat gun this powder becomes a super adherent for glitter. So for this one I put the powder and then Pyrite Glitters.

My Title comes from the French Words kit. I chose Bonheur ( Happiness ) because it reflected well the energy of the photo.

Blue Fern Studios products I've used:
Paper:Attic Charms - Generation
Chipboards:-Sweet & Lucky
- French Words
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder:
- Oatmeal
Imagine Ink Glitter:- Pyrite
Stamps:
- Crackles Texture
- Serendipity
Flowers:- Harvest Lilies

------------------------------

And the last one for this month, my lovely dream catcher.

I really love this layout I'm really proud of the result.

- Believing -

I used Preston from Chesterville paper collection.
Like the other pages I made mybackground in the same way.

Texture paste, paints, inks and small embellishments.

I used two chipboards to create my dream catcher. The Jeweled frame and the dream catcher.
I altered them separately and then tied them together with a rope.
For chipboard Dream Catcher I simply covered with black gesso and used a mauve and opalescent fushia paint. Then I added some beads and rhinestones. The other chipboard, the jeweled frame, I made it simpler. Just a little powder to emboss silver on the chain parts and opalescent gray paint.

I used the pink flowers of Courtship Lane Collection, Courtship Roses.

I added a last chipboard, one from the Spring Trinkets kit, I worked like the Dream Catcher, black gesso and purple opal paint and fushia.

December Inspiration By Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share my last projects for Blue Fern Studios.   I've enjoyed the last year and a half designing for Blue Fern Studios.  I want to thank Leslie and Valerie for the opportunity given to me to work with all of the amazingly beautiful products.   My final 3 projects include both of the Vintage Christmas collections.

I went in a different direction for my first project and decided to create a Christmas Canvas, a gift for my sister.  I used a mixture of the both of the Vintage Christmas paper collections.

 I worked with an 8x8 canvas, which I covered with the Let It Snow (side B) paper from
Vintage Christmas 2.  Lots of paper layering from both collections and of course chipboard and flowers! Some masking on the background as well as some micro beads.

Under my layering I used the Grand Ornament chipboard which I cut in half and embossed with some Snow and Oatmeal embossing powders.  Lots of gorgeous Blue Fern flowers  including Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Harvest Lilies, and Soft Blossoms.

At the top of the canvas is the upper portion of the Grand Ornament chipboard.

On each side of the canvas I placed the Frosty Flake chipboard which I embossed with Snow embossing powder.

Blue Fern Studios Products:
Paper:  Vintage Christmas 2:  Let It Snow, Holiday Cards
Vintage Christmas:  Auld Lang Syne
Chipboard:  Grand Ornament, Frosty Flake
Embossing Powder:  Snow, Oatmeal
Flowers:  Soft Blossoms, Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Harvest Lilies

My next project features both of the Vintage Christmas paper collections.

Love this picture of my sweet dog, Zoey.  She loves to lay on the couch next to the Christmas tree,  I used Twas The Night paper from Vintage Christmas 2 for my background.  Lots of layering and fussy cutting using Holiday Cards and Jolly from Vintage Christmas 2 and Wonderland from Vintage Christmas.

Here's a close up of the beautiful Blue Fern flowers, Christmas Blooms, Soft Blossoms and Attic Charm Roses.

Here I used the Dream Catcher chipboard, embossed with Snow.

To the left of the photo I placed a past of the Leafy Bough chipboard which I embossed with Verdant and Sea Mist embossing powders.  The title was embossed with a mixture of Poinsettia and Sea Mist.  I added some random stamping with the Forever stamp and added Sea Mist embossing powders.

Blue Fern Studios Products:
Paper:  Vintage Christmas:  Wonderland
Vintage Christmas 2:  Twas The Night, Holiday Cards, Jolly
Chipboard:  Dream Catcher, Leafy Bough, Twas The Night Before Christmas
Embossing Powder:  Poinsetta, Sea Mist, Snow
Flowers:  Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Christmas Blooms, Soft Blossoms

My final layout features papers from Vintage Christmas 2.

I used the Tree Trimmings paper for the background.  I added some light  inking along with some random stamping, some scattered dots covered in Fire Engine Glitter. Lots of layering under the photo using the Holiday Cards paper. Flowers include Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Christmas Blooms and Soft Blossoms.

On both sides of the photo I used the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard embossed with a mixture of Antique Gold and Golden Bricks.

Beneath the photo is a Tree Toy chipboard piece embossed with Golden Bricks along with some Fools Gold and Fire Engine Glitter.

The title was embossed with a mixture of Antique Gold and Golden Bricks Embossing powders.

Blue Fern Studios Products:
Paper:  Vintage Christmas 2:  Tree Trimming, Holiday Cards
Chipboard:  Tree Toye, Floral Lattice Bits, Colorful Candles Buring Bright
Embossing Powder:  Antique Gold, Golden Bricks
Flowers:  Christmas Blooms, Soft Blossoms, Attic Charm Glitter Roses

And now it's time  to say good bye.  I hope I have inspired you each month with my projects.  It's been an honor and joy to design for Blue Fern Studios!

Thanks for stopping by!

Memoires inspiration by Karolina

Hi guys! 

Karolina here with my part of inspirations for you for October ;)

I was waiting for my papers from the new Blue Fern Studios collection Memoires and I can't make anything until it came. 

Today I would like to show you how amazing these papers are! But Im pretty sure that you know it ;)

Captured

My first project is a cover of the notebook. I used papers from Memoires collection and one paper from the Birdsong collection. I used some colors like orange, magenta, yellow, pink. I think it looks very autumn. 

I desided to use 3 different sets of chipboards. One of them (circles) I covered with embossing powders. First I put magenta powder on it and next I added sime lime powder. I love this effect!

papers: Memoires - twilight fable, calling cards, tale of treasures; Sanctuary - birdsong melody
Chipboards:  layering stems, broken rings, picture perfect,
embossing powders: raspberry, lime
glitter: burnt copper, cranberry, sunshine, candy shoppe

Books

My second creation is a layout in very shabby and romantic style. I found this beautiful photo of old books (I love old books, do you?) and some stripes of laces, I also used a chipboard lace and I tried to put everything together. Of course I also added some flowers and medias, but I didn't want to cover this beautiful lace too much. To break the quiet colors I decided to add some elements in purple.

What do you think about this style in my projects?

papers: Memoires collection
chipboards: dream catcher
embossing powders: oatmeal, it's a girl

Have a nice day! And see you in November!

Karolina
