{3} Layouts with Patter

Hi everyone. It's Patter Cross here, and I am glad to be back. Today I am sharing three 8x8 layouts with you. I hope you will enjoy them and find some fun ideas to use. Now let's look at these smaller layouts.

"Keep Faith"
We are finally members of a church in our new town. I am so excited, and of course scrapping a picture of our new church was very important to me. So, here it is (below). For this layout I used the Tuscan Window chipboard as a topper to my photo. I then added the Garden Window shutters to the sides of my photo. I liked mixing the two chipboard sets.

I wanted to leave my chipboard raw as I liked the raw color on the layout. To dress them up, I just stamped on them using brown ink.

"Beautiful Iris"
In our new house in October, the irises began to bloom. Kind of late I believe but we moved them from the front yard to the side so I think they were in a bit of shock. But once they came up, wow! I used the Blooming Foliage chipboard on this page.

To create the fun texture on Blooming Foliage, I mixed a bit of glass bead gel with green acrylic paint. I then spread it on the chipboard. While it was still wet, I then misted it with a mix of gesso and water. It has a really fun texture when you touch it but it's hard to tell in the photos.

Blooming Foliage 074851

"Love Always"
And for my last layout, I thought I would share my husband's executive work photo. I don't have a lot of scrapped photos of him so this one is special. I used the Vintage Locks and the word 'love' from the Valentine Word Set here.

I wanted my chipboard to look like leather since this was a masculine layout. To achieve that, I just covered the chipboard in distress ink. It worked very well for the look I wanted.

Look at this beautiful piece of chipboard.

I rarely make cards.

Achieving Different Looks w/Erin Blegen

Hey everyone :)~ Erin Blegen here with you today to share with you three different projects, all using the same paper collection but achieving different looks using Blue Fern Studios chipboard! We've got a lot to get through, so let's get started :)...

"Lilah"

This project was created on an 8"x10" canvas. I love this beautifully soft photo of my niece Lilah, so I wanted to create a romantic piece with lots of stamping and bursts of color. Let's take a closer look at the Blue Fern Studios chipboard used here:

I've used pink crackle paint on the Princess Window piece before smattering with microbeads. Then I topped it off with a piece cut from the Symphony Border, misted it, and stamped to correlate with my bakcground.

I LOVE keys. I've painted this one from the Vintage Keys set with gesso, applied a very light pink mist to it, and then stamped over top. Then I brushed on some Stickles, added the heart gem and some tulle at the top.

This Vintage Locks piece was also lightly misted and then stamped.

Princess Window 074578

Vintage Locks 074783

Vintage Keys 075032

"Our Bond"

My second project is a layout, featuring how easy it is to use chipboard in its raw fashion, which I love to do! 

The Calligraphic Border provides dimension, texture, and detail to the layering beneath my photos. I felt that by leaving it raw, it really stood out like I wanted it to :).

Calligraphic Border 074363

Vintage Keys 075032

"Hello" {Tag}

My final project today is this tag. I love the smaller chipboard pieces for projects like these! So much fun to put together :)

I've combined a dress form from the Miss Taylor Set, as well as the larger butterfly out of the Brigitte Butterfly set to dress up this tag. I used a combination of Glimmer Mist and embossing powder to set the base of my dress form. I then added the tulle skirt and some seed beads for the bodice. Finally, the little heart accent was put in place.

For the butterfly, I used some light misting and embossing powder as well, before adding my stamping. Finally I trimmed up the tops of the wings with some microbeads.

Thanks so very much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you enjoyed my projects- and that you're inspired to go out and get some BFS chipboard for yourself!

Take care and see you again soon :),

Blue Fern Studios goes spring with Eila

Hello there! Eila here to share 3 pages with you. We are having promises of spring in my parts of the world, although we've still got many weeks to go before all the snow is gone. The light is different and even the air has got something special to it.

Here is the first page - "Adorable" and gosh isn't he just one cute bubba, the son of my youngest cousin!

The pretty title chippie Adorable is from the BFS set of words called GOOD VIBES (074899). I simply inked it in Archival Ink in Black to make it stand out and show the beautiful "handwriting".

 

(074899)

I have also used the top half of the BFS ROYAL BIRD FRAME (074592) which I flipped over.

I used mist and a couple of different inks on it.

 

(074592)

I also used one of the BFS SPRING IRIS - SMALL (074912) on my page.

 

 (074912)

Glimmer Glaze and Glimmer Glam were added on the flowers before black ink was applied to the edges. 

Other products used from my stash: Prima papers, Prima resin, Prima embellishment, Prima masks, Prima stamps, Melissa Frances resin, Webster's Pages lace/ribbons, Tattered Angels mists, Glaze and Glam, and Ranger inks.

My second page is called Love. 

The chipboard title is from the same BFS set of words called GOOD VIBES that I used for my previous page. 

I so adore the BFS butterflies in the BRIGITTE BUTTERFLY SET! (074387) such perfect sizes and perfect number of 3 in the package. Here I have used 3 equally small ones.

 

(074387)

I accentuated the misted shimmer by painting the butterflies in Glimmer Glaze. Now we're talking about shimmer, just like flashes of jewels when the sun hits butterfly wings! I then added some silver sequins to them.

Other products used from my stash: Prima papers, Prima note cards, Prima flowers, Prima stamps and mask, Zva pearl swirl, doilies, lace, gold acrylic paint, generic silver sequins, Tattered Angels mist, Glaze and Glam.

My third page is called Happiness and that's because I just love potting flowers and seeing things grow.

I have used the gorgeous PRINCESS WINDOW (074578) under the photos.

 

(074578)

The weathered-flaking-paint effect was achieved by dabbing the chipboard in acrylic paint and distress ink before painting the chipboard in Glimmer Glaze in Saffron. 

I have also used a Spring Iris - Large (074875) to the right of the photos.

 

(074875)  

The stems were painted heavily in a yummie green Glimmer Glaze and the flower heads were misted in heavily to get intense pooling. The dark pinkish is Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in Lipstick Pink.

The title Happiness is from the word set GOOD VIBES (074899) that I have used on both previous layouts. It was treated in the same way as the Princess Window.

Other products used from my stash: Prima papers, Prima flowers, Prima resins, Prima stamps and mask, Petaloo flowers, Webster's Pages lace/ribbon, MME twine, acrylic paint, inks and mists.

Thanks ever so much for your visit! please do come back for some more yummie inspiration from our DTs! See you!

A layout, a card and a tag by Camilla

Hi everybody! Camilla here. I am back to share some Blue Fern Studios projects today. I have made a layout, a card and a tag. First a layout with my smiling niece. For my layout I have used some gorgeous swirly chipboards to frame the photo.

To alter the chipboards I first applied Distress Stain (faded jeans) and then dabbed it with white gesso.

Supplies:

074509 Blooming Flourish 

Other products used:

Dies (Sizzix), papers (Creative Imaginations), doily, border punches, flowers (Manor House Creations, Prima), alpha stickers (Prima), leaves, digital dies

Then a simple card for every occasion - I haven't added any sentiment and have kept the colours very neutral.

Since I wanted a white washed look on the chipboard to match the lovely papers, I just dabbed it with white gesso.

Supplies:
074530 Symphony Border

Other products used:
Papers: Maja Design: Life By the Sea collection (The east coast)
Other: border punches, thread, die

And finally...my tag. I am going to use it as a card.

 I have just painted the chipboard pieces with white gesso and then on the vine chipboard I added some micro beads.

Supplies:

074622 Organic Vine Corner (large)

074561 Country Picket Fence

Other products used:

Papers: Maja Design: Life By the Sea collection (The east coast, Sailing)

Other: gesso, mini pearls, stamp (Pink Paislee), rub-on (Kaisercraft), ribbon, string, digital die, flowers (Prima), leaves
