November's Social Media Highlights!

What?! Mid-November? I can hardly believe it! 

Sandi here with you today sharing some November Social Media Highlights! 

We love looking for YOUR work when we are out and about on Social Media and seeing the amazing things you create with our product! So, whether it's Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, be sure and tag us so that we don't miss a thing! It's also helpful when you mention the name of the product you've used. With over a 1000 products in the wholesale store, we want to be sure we've not overlooked what you've included. 

Kana Abiko created this unique layout with a combination of paper collections, most notably Courtship Lane and Autumn Anthology by Michele Singh.  We love how Kana's altered the gazebo image from Autumn Anthology paper to make it look more like a little house. The window and photo behind it are such a clever idea! And look at that fussy cutting! You can see more of her creations Here and find her on Instagram at @abikokana. 

We are especially excited to see that Jennifer Evans (Jenaroo) is back to scrapping after several years of pursuing her nursing degree! Look at this shabby-licious, layered beauty! Here she has used the Frolic collection along with the Discover chipboard and added a few of her signatures .. doilies and  flowers! To visit her blog, go HERE. 

Designer Paula Calvanico has also used our Sanctuary collection to create this beauty! Photo is of her and her hubby at 15 and 17! With this the month of Thanksgiving here in the States, we were drawn to her color choices and use of the pretty leaf embellishment. Paula blogs  HERE and is on Instagram at @paula_calvanico. Isn't true love something to be grateful for?  

Next  up is this amazing layout by USA designer Heather Thompson. We love how she's altered the title piece and Persian Ornament Chipboard and used our Serendipity and Tranquility paper collection. This really puts us in the mood for a New Year's masquerade ball. Outstanding work, Heather! Please visit her at heifer21.wordpress.com and follow her on Instagram at @heifer21. You will love her attention to detail and wonderful techniques. 

Mayu of Japan posted this amazing piece on Instagram where you can follow her at @mayucrop_sbtnc. The fussy cut work is what really grabbed us for a second, then third look! She's used our newest Memoires and chose the dark red to add some drama to her photo of a traditional Japanese rite of passage. Please visit her blog HERE. 

That's it for this month ... and what a great month of inspiration it is! 

I hope you'll join me next month for a couple of special Social Media features! 

September inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today, I have prepared three layouts using the beautiful Blue Fern Studio materials. And I'm happy to show them to you.

September... Fall brings cool. And we all want to extend the summer. Let's try? My layout of the summer days. A lot of flowers and heat. And romance of course!

"Forest Fairy" layout

This layout is for my sister. I really like this photo, and I wanted to do a little magic layout. Simple and complex at the same time.
I used the Susan's Dream paper from the Ombre Dreams Collection as my background paper. I wanted a very light background, and this paper was the perfect. Сhipboard of a set "Forest Friends" can be applied idealy for this layout.


From the photos I made a 3-D structure. Cut the picture into several parts and the central part raised above the rest.


Chipboard Swirly Doodle was covered with Imagine Ink 14 Karat embossing powders. It is so beautifully with butterflies and spring flowers!


Animals from the "Forest Friends" set was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in 14 Karat and Petal. For snail I added additionaly Breeze Imagine Ink embossing powders.

And then you can see in the background mix of glitters - Sunshine and Peridot. They are so funny!

Blue Fern Studios Supply List:
Paper: Ombre Dreams - Susan's Dream
Chipboard: Swirly Doodle, Forest Friends
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder: Breeze, 14 Karat, Petal
Glitters: Sunshine, peridot

"Walk in a lilac garden" layout

My second layout about the walking in a lilac garden. La Plume paper from the Deja Vu Collection I used as my background paper. The second paper is the same I used to cut flowers out of it.
Many flowers and tenderness.


Serenity was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Lilac and Iris.


Harlequin Panel decorated with Imagine Ink 14 karat embossing powder.


I used the Serendipity Medley stamp with Imagine Ink Iris embossing powder to create some details on my background. Plus I added drops of glitter Dusty Rose.

A little bit of lace and shabby ribbons added romance and tenderness.
And the main decor - flowers cutting from La Plume paper.


Blue Fern Studios Supply List:
Paper: Deja Vu - La Plume
Chipboard: "Serenity, Calm, Hushed" set, Harlequin Panel
Stamp: Serendipity Medley
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder: Lilac, Iris, 14 karat

"Romance with umbrella" layout

The third layout today about romance with umbrella. It's very romantic and feminine. I used the Allegro paper from the Frolic Collection as my background paper.


Stillness was covered with Imagine Ink Breeze embossing powder. Embroidery - a little bird - adds a unique for my work.


I used a lot of lace, butterflies. Аnd of course, the flowers of the sets - Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Courtship Roses. They are beautiful!


Romantic Page Dangles I covered with Imagine Ink 14 karat embossing powder.

September inspiration by Karolina

Hi guys! Karolina here. Welcome on the Blue Fern Studios blog ;) Today it's time for my September inspiration. Can you believe it? Time is running out so quickly!

This time I would like to show you 3 projects - layout and two canvases. 

DREAM BIG

I had so much fun when I was creating this little canvas! I really like the background and turquoise accent in my composition. I used some dark vintage papers to create my composition and the chipboard piece - a little Dream big. I covered the chipboards with ginger embossing powder as well as a leaves.

CAGES

This layout only looks very cheerful. It's full of colors and embellishments, but I created this page to express my feelings. Not exactly good feelings. But I really like when my life, my thought can be an inspiration for my projects. Even though it's clear only for me ;)

Here I also used papers from few different collections. I do love panels chipboard from BFS! You can use it in so many projects and in so many different ways. This time I decided to use two panels.

BEAUTiFUL

And the last but not least my third canvas with funny photos of one of my best friend Weronika. Weronika is 3 years younger then me and she will be always like my little sister, especially I've known her since she was 3! It's a lot of time! 

Here I also used a part of chipboard panel but this time I didn't cover it. 

Ok, so that's all! I hope your monday morning was a little bit more colorful ;) Have a good week and see you in October!

This layout　is concerning the sunflower.

Although our family went to the famous sunflower field

It had not yet bloomed ...

So I bought a cut flowers.

Daughter is very happy this smile!

Exactly Million Dollar SMILE!!!

This title is wonderful.

It is good to the photograph of the smile! ！

I painted to become the gradation with yellow and the ink of the orange.

I use the cardboard of the mesh well.

After having painted with jesso, 
I processed it with emboss powder (AUBURN) partially.

It was painted gesso to the chip board (Paisley & Vine Medley).

Lightly coat the yellow ink to dry

The yellow glitter SUNSHINE was put in the bond.

Heart of the chip board is embossed in BUTTERCUP and BREEZE

I painted stickles to finish.

I put a three-dimensional feeling.

It is a refined, good color!

Frame portion is embossed in OATMEAL

Only the portion of the leaves to be green, while covering little by little

It was embossed in two colors of green (LIME / VERDENT).

A flower is a thing of Blue Fern Studios, too.

It is refined and is easy to use the thing having a pearl midmost.
