Tranquility Layouts and video tutorial by Keren Tamir

Hi everyone,

Its Keren here on the Blue Fern Studios blog with two projects using the new Tranquility collection.

"By the Sea"

I used the Jubilation paper as the background because I love the woodgrain effect for my beach layout.

I have a video tutorial below on how I created this project.

"Happy"

This is another layout I created with the Tranquility collection this month.

It has different tones which shows the versatility of this collection.

I used the bourbon stamp to create the textured background. I stamped and embossed using the Auburn embossing powder.

The Shrine chipboard frame was first embossed in Mushroom embossing powder and then stamped and embossed with the Auburn embossing powder.

The romantic dangle was embossed in the Chilli Powder embossing powder. I also used it to stamp and emboss the butterflies in the background.

All the flowers are also from Blue Fern Studios as they've now started selling matching flowers to their collections.

3 different collections with Yuko

Hello!Blue Fern Studios funs!

It's Yuko here!

【WHAT  A  wonderful DAY】

My family went to the memorial trip last month married 10 anniversary.

We took the photo at the same location as 10 years ago!

It was a wonderful experience!

Precious memories!

Because I wanted to express the clean and gorgeous feeling of Chapel

I chose this TIMELESS collection!

 Used tulle and white bird with the image of a wedding.

Clipboard (dangle) was embossed in parl.

It is clean out a little luster.

Such as the pattern of the letters and these bottles of paper

I feel good looks very little vintage.

Also processing the embossed of parl to the heart of the chip board,

 put a gold liquid Pearl from the top that.

Paper :  TIMELESS Artistique/ Calling Cards/Couture

Chipboard  : Romantic Page Dangles/Lace Heart Border

Embossing Powder/Pearl

【Journey】

These photos were taken by a Taketomi Island visited on the trip.

Because it was the color to red point

I chose the photo that is reflected in the bright red hibiscus and bougainvillea.

After the chipboard colored with ink

I was tracing with a pen of lame.

Chip board of the film was embossed with oatmeal.

Really this color is an excellent color can also be used to elegant to casual!

Paisley & Vine : Bohemian/Pathway/Playing Cards/Splendor/Whimsy

Chipboard : Journey, Explore, Discover/Film Strips/Directions

Enbossing Powder/Oatmeal

The other work is using the April sketch.

Paper used was a little nostalgic Frolic Collection.

The title was used for embossing powder 14karat.

This color also uses well with your favorite !

And Circle punch the card stock in the background, using the created template

I put a glitter paint a bond there.

This color and is beautiful!

The name is CARIBBEAN.

Finely skip the white paint

To have toned down as multiplied by the veil softly.

February Layouts-- By Keren Tamir

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here with my design team projects for February.

I created two different themed layouts using the latest two new collections from Blue Fern Studios.

"Blush" and "Serendipity"

Both these collections are stunning and perfect for the month of love.

Here is the first layout designed with the Blush collection.

"Love"

I used the Blush "Key to my heart" paper for the background. The Blush's pastel colours were perfect for this beautiful wedding photo of my cousin. I just love what the photographer did with their hands and I had to use a frame to highlight the heart.

The frame I used is the Folkart frame. I added a Romantic chipboard dangle of a locket above and below the frame. I wanted to make it seem as if the frame is dangling from the top of the page.

I embossed both frame and dangle with Imagine Ink cotton candy embossing powder

The chipboard word "Love" and the heart were simply inked in chalk ink.

<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>

"Uniquely You"

My second layout is different from the the one above in term of both theme and colours.

I used the Serendipity "Contemplation" paper for the background and the "Calling cards" paper for layering behind the photo.

To create a natural texture in the background I used a modelling paste over a woodgrain stencil. Then while the paste was still wet, I spread 3 different colours of Blue Fern Studios Imagine Ink embossing powder. I used sage, nutmeg and ginger.

I also used the new whimsy chipboard flourishes as accents. They were simply inked in brown chalk ink.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog today

Have a fantastic day!!

Inspiration from our Creative Team

Welcome to the middle of February.  We hope you had a sweet Valentine's Day.

We have loved seeing how our Creative Team has used all the new Blue Fern Studios products this year.  Today we would like to share some additional projects from our great team.  In honor of Valentine's Day, our theme this week is pink and/or anything love related.   You are sure to find some sweet inspiration! 

First up is this frosty, wintery layout created by Keren Tamir using several Blue Fern snowflake chipboard pieces that she has painted white.  The title is from our "Cool, Calm, Chill" word titles set.  

What a gorgeous layout Keren has created!

Like Keren, Wilma Voermans's layout shows how a piece of basic white cardstock can be transformed into a work of magic.  The finishing touch is the "Blushing Beauty" chipboard title.

Marie-Josee Hamel created this beautiful layout using our Blush Collection.  

The photo is perfectly framed with a couple of our chipboard borders.

A collection of love-inspired layouts just wouldn't be complete without a baby.   

Sandi Clarkson also chose to use the Blush collection for this super-sweet layout. 

 

If you miss seeing two-page layouts, then this one is for you.  Nicole Doiron has created two very romantic wedding layouts using the Blush paper collection, along with our Best Day Ever chipboard title, and the Romantic Page Dangles. 

Although Bec Genet's layout isn't pink, it certainly is elegant with tones of gold and black, and fits in nicely with our love theme.  The paper is from our Autumn Anthology and Love Story collections.  The "Love This" title is part of the "Arrow Words" chipboard set which also contains 7 other titles.

Our final project today is for those of you who love Artist's Trading Cards (ATC).   Renea Harrison has one for you that she created using the Timeless collection.  The shabby hearts are accented with Blue Fern's Mystic Plum embossing powder.  Who wouldn't love to receive this beauty?

We hope you have found some inspiration to use the next time you create!
