December's Social Media Feature and YOU!

Happy December, Blue Fern fans! 

We hope you are enjoying this special holiday Season and are finding at least a little bit of time to be creative! Today we are sharing just a few of our finds from the past few weeks! 

Remember to post your work and tag Blue Fern Studios for a chance to be featured … and just so that we can be sure to see your  creations! 

First up we have this lovely album by Aida Haron of Singapore. If you visit her Instagram account at 

@aidaville, you will find a quick video that she uploaded showing you all it's gorgeous hidden spots for photos and journaling! Great way to use Vintage Christmas, Aida! 

Kylie Kingham's posted this lovely creation on Instagram, stating that shabby chic is her favorite style! Here she has used Blue Fern Studios Memoires to perfection! You'll want to follow her on Instagram at @paper_sweetpea. Also, be sure and check out her blog Paper Sweet Pea because this gal does it all … clean and simple, shabby, planners and altered art! 

Hiromi Yasuda is a very busy scrapper and posts often! We are pleased to see her work with Blue Fern Studios products because she truly inspires. This is one of the most amazing uses of the Seaside Cottage paper collection that we have seen! She certainly has the perfect photo! The Perfect Day chipboard is a great final touch. Please follow her on Instagram at @nyanhiro.

If you have followed our Social Media posts for long, you know that we like to feature some altered art each month.  Here Aira Hashimoto has used cut files to create this amazing hot air balloon. This could be re-created with almost any of our paper collections to achieve different effects. Please follow Aira at @airahashimoto on Instagram. 

Last but not least, we have this gorgeous Frolic creation by Kathy Martin. Kathy can be found on Instagram at @pinkieto07. We love how the warm tones blend perfectly with her outdoor photos. The dangling chippy and flower cluster are wonderful finishing touches.

We will be back later this month featuring some our Creative Team's favorites from this past year!
We thought it would be fun to see what the designers like best!  (If you visit us on Pinterest or Instagram, you'll get a sneak peek into ALL our 2016 inspiration!) 

Next year we will be doing several Social Media posts a month, so don't forget to tag us so that we can find you! 

See you soon!

Inspiration Overload ~ October Social Media Day

Hello, Blue Fern Studios followers!

Today is Social Media catch up day where we focus on YOU and your creations!
We hope that you are following us everywhere … Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and of course, right here on our blog.
Remember to tag us so that we can see what you're creating!

Our first feature of the day is this lovely layout by @majo_rando. She is a self-described scrapbooking designer and instructor based in Yebisu/Tokyo. Here she has used the Frolic collection (designed by Michele Singh) and created beautiful frames for her frames, then encrusted the design with lots of gorgeous flowers and a tiny birdcage and ribbon, She blogs right Here. The pink and blue color combo are simply heavenly.

Our products can be used in so many ways, including off the page projects. Here Saba Musharrif has created a gorgeous custom two drawer box and covered the top with paper, flowers and a sentiment. Done with newlyweds in mind. Saba's Instagram username is @favorsmore. And she blogs at Saba's Craft Land.

Don't forget about cards!
Liana Kuzovaya of Russia shared this gorgeous purple card on Instagram. She's used Deja Vu and a Deja Vu Calling Card as her sentiment, altered some chipboard, then added lace and a resin butterfly. A few pearls create just a bit more romance. Look for Liana on Instagram @liana_kuzovaya. And remember to use those scraps for handmade cards!

We can always count on our paper collections designed by Manuela Zimmerman for that extra dose of drama! 

We found this drop dead gorgeous creation by Joanne aka @scrap_joe on Instagram the other day. We love the distressed edges and use of the Circle Flourish chipboard piece! After some detective work, we found her blog Here! (Yes, we sometimes have to use superhuman investigative skills to find you!) 

We finish with this amazing assemblage art piece by Jaihan Z. There are lots of products utilized in her piece but Blue Fern Studios chipboard is a part of that! We have loads of gears and assemblage pieces that would work great for you!  Jaihan puts lots of heart, soul and energy into her creation. We challenge you to think outside the box when using our products! To learn more about Jaihan, visit her Here and @hercreativeworld. 

Well, we think you should be more than inspired by these amazing designers! 

Maybe next month your name will be here! 

See you in November!

August Social Media Update and YOU!

Hello, hello!

Sandi here with you today sharing some Blue Fern Studios awesomeness that we found on Instagram.

This month I've taken some screen shots directly from Instagram. We are trying to really drive home the need to be there! It's a quick, easy and fun way to see some gorgeous creations. And to basically create your own gallery there. You can also upload to Facebook and a Twitter from there, as well as pin your projects to Pinterest! 

Please tag us there so that we can find you! Also, do the same when visiting Pinterest. Did you know that we have a full Pinterest board that features YOUR creations? We sure do! 




First up, we're sharing this gorgeous layout by Emi Nakagawa using the Serendipity paper collection. She's added some simple elements and kept the project light and airy. You can  visit her blog at http://ameblo.jp/nikopiyo/ and obviously her Instagram at @sb.and.r.emi.

We love this creation by Rika Hayama! What an unique way to use the Gazebo image from Autumn Anthology! It looks gorgeous against the woodgrain and with the mix of color and black and white photos. Rika blogs HERE. 

Because we have been focusing on Seaside Cottage over the past few weeks, I wanted to include this fussy cut layout from Mikamika of Japan. Her floral cluster, and fussy cutting create such a beautiful scene alongside her photos. Her Instagram is @blanche0101.

Look at this adorable little mailbox creation from Naomi Chang using our older Love Story collection. I almost held this over until next month but it is so unique, I was anxious to share. Naomi blogs HERE. 

Off the Page creations using Blue Fern Studios are always eye-catching!

We have another new feature this month by Shinko who blogs at shinkoblog.blogspot.com. Her paper folding and great design create a truly gorgeous piece using our Attic Charm collection and chipboard. 

I'm sneaking in one last creation by Canadian Laura Gilhuly using our chipboard and the awesome new Seaside Cottage collection. She has lots of great photos of her boys at the beach and does a beautiful job of using flowers on her masculine pages! Great work, Laura! 

That's it for today! 

I hope you've found something to inspire you! 

Also, fingers crossed that all photo credits are correct. 

Please let us know if they are not. 

See you next month! 

May Social Media Features and YOU!

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans! 

It's already time for another Social Media feature! 

We've been out and about on Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and a few online galleries just to see what you are creating with your Blue Fern Studios products! 

We really want to encourage you to use Instagram if you are not already! It's a great resource for inspiration. And an easy way to scroll through pretty photos without other distractions. 

Plus, you can post to other social media sites easily with just one upload.

We are nearing 800 followers! How soon can we reach 1000?! 

Thanks for helping us grow our Social Media presence. 

Now for some great features:

One of our lovely Facebook followers, Bev Code, posted this layout to our  Facebook page and linked it to her online gallery. She's used the Timeless collection and several pieces of BFS chipboard. Thanks, Bev, for always sharing your work with us! 

We found this beauty by @eiko_ehira on Instagram! What a gorgeous way to use the romantic Blush collection! We love when people use our products in new creative ways. Wouldn't you love to reach out and touch this one?! Thank you, @eiko_ehira. This is so inspiring. 

This dramatic layout created by Sandra Bernard was found on Pinterest as well as Instagram at @sandradeebernard. Her use of the Timeless collection, raw Blue Fern Studios chipboard and mixed media with co-ordinating florals is breathtaking! 

Our Courtship Lane collection has been so well received and Instagram user @bliss_scrap.31 created a gorgeous layout and placed it in a frame. This way you can really go super 3 dimensional and add plenty of chunky embellishments. 

Frolic is an older but favorite paper collection! @megu_ig shared this on Instagram. What a great choice for wedding photos and some altered chipboard! Thanks for tagging us @megu_ig! We love it! Such an adorable couple. 

Okay, one more!

 We couldn't pass  up this beautiful layout by @akemihonma using our Serendipity paper collection. She tagged us on Instagram as well and we pinned it to our Blue Fern Studios Pinterest projects board where we try to pin as many of your creations as we can. It's a win-win! 

As always there are new Blue Fern Studios products in the works! 

We'll have a new collection to share in about a week or so. 

Don't forget to tag us on your projects or your haul videos.

We truly want to feature YOU! 

See you next time!
