Tea bag booklet

Hello and welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog.

Today I'm sharing a little tea bag booklet I've made using the Bird Waltz collection.

I used tea filters which I tea died. I glued two filters/bags together, stacked them and

 sewed in the middle to get a little book.

This book is 3 x 4,5 inches (7,5 x 10 cm) with 30 pages.

I decorated each page. I used the bird Waltz papers, ephemera, charms, stamps, 

chipboards and laces.

I sewed paper clusters and made little pockets for tags and ephemera.

On some of the edges  I've added butterfly wings.

On this page I made a bellyband. 

I have a flip through video of all the pages on my you tube channel;

Snail mail envelope with the bird waltz collection

Hello, DT Henriëtte here today sharing another project I've created with the Bird Waltz papers.

This time I've made a snail mail envelope.

The idea for the pocket envelope came from Nik the Booksmith, you can find a tutorial here.

On the top flap I glued the little card slot.

 It can hold pieces of ephemera, like I did or

a gift card.

The right flap has a corner pocket with a lace border.

It holds a cute little envelop and a tag.

The middle section has two pockets and the left flap has a side tuck spot.

These kind of envelopes are a great way to send snail mail to a friend.

It can hold a handwritten letter, a gift card, little envelopes with goodies in it, 

bits of ephemera etc.

The beautiful papers from Blue Fern Studios are perfect to make a this project.

Le Papillon - a tri-fold card with The Bird Waltz

Hello, Henriette here today sharing another project with the newest release "The Bird Waltz".

The Bird Waltz collection has some great butterfly images. With them I've created

 this butterfly themed tri-fold card.

The card is made with a 6 x 12 inch piece of cardstock.

I scored at 1,5" -  3" -  5,5" and 8".

Then I measured 1" from the top and bottom until the second fold and 0,5" from the second until the fourth foldline and cut out these pieces.

I decorated all the parts. On the first panel I also glued a piece of ribbon.

Then I added the panels. 

To finish the card I used a butterfly chipboard and charm.

Products used:

Papers: The Bird Waltz

Charm: Radiant charms

Chipboard: Gabrielle butterfly set

Paper birdhouses with Bird Waltz

Hello, DT Henriëtte here today sharing my first project with the new Blue Fern Studios collection "The Bird Waltz".

The papers in the Bird Waltz collection are absolutely stunning as can be seen in 

these paper birdhouses I've made.

I searched for a free template on internet and made 5 different sized houses.

You can decorate the houses more but I decided not to because of the beauty 

of the patterned papers. I think they look beautiful in all simplicity.

Thanks for stopping by the BFS blog.

Hugs, Henriëtte.
