Two cards with the Bird Waltz Collection

Hello and welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog.

DT Henriëtte here today sharing two cards I've created using the Bird Walz Collection.

On both cards I used chipboard pieces from the Bird Waltz set, 

Blue Fern lace and flowers.

I colored the chipboards with inks and paint and also wax to give them some shine.

All paper edges are distressed and I've put brown ink on the flowers, laces and cheesecloth 

to give them a more vintage look.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Happy Harvest

Hey friends! Today I am sharing with you a layout from the Eclectic Charm collection. 

My base paper is called Friendship. I white washed the back side, tore the bottom and curled the torn edges to create a little more interest.  I placed a strip of Picturesque behind the opening.

 That little opening gave me the perfect spot to place my Blue Fern flowers! The chipboard filigree is stained orange and touched up with gold ink. I used a happy harvest tag from my stash as well as the square of cardboard. 

To top it all off I used a butterfly from the Bird Waltz collection. 

I know it will inspire a harvest of creativity!

Blessings, Bonnie

Fly with Bird Waltz

 I am back to you today with another layout featuring the new Bird Waltz collection from Blue Fern Studios. 

 My beautiful GD Lilly a few years ago. These papers are thick and great to add mediums to. For my base I used Overture. 

I did some stencil work on my page using Prima's Icing Paste in Gold. This is the first opportunity I've had to try out this paste and I have to admit that I love it and plan on buying the rest of the colors!

I used the Dragonfly Melody chipboard to frame my photo. I cut the chipboard as I often do and used Ginger, Fern and Wheat embossing powders to color it.

This collection has some beautiful graphics and I did some fussy cutting and popped up these elements with some 3D dots. 

I used some miscellaneous flowers from Blue Fern (older collection) and added some turquoise seedlings to the petals.

For my title I used a piece from the matching Ephemera pack. 

And that's a wrap for today.

All the best! :)

All you need is love

Hello, Henriëtte here today. I'm sharing an exploding box I've made with a love theme.

For this project I used up some of my scraps from different paper collections.

I decorated the outside of the box with lace roses which I colored a bit with red ink.

On the lid I used the printed chipboard pieces from the "In the Mood" collection. 

For the centerpiece on the inside I cut a styrofoam ball in half, 

colored it red with ink and glued lace around it.

Then I decorated it with an abundance of flowers.

I also placed a key charm with red ribbon in the middle.

Bits and Baubles ... and a Baby

Saturday greetings my friends, this new line called "Eclectic Charm" is so versatile! This project features muted colors and pure vintage joy! The background paper is cut from the page "Wisdom". 

I decorated my Altoid mint tin with cuts from the calling cards, the Mercantile page and the Wisdom page. I stained some Blue Fern lace flowers pink and stained the chipboard fame blue. 

My baubles include a clock charm, a tassel, a  luggage tag, title, old key and messenger bird all from the emphera pack, my favorite EVER! I added bits of lace from Blue Fern and dried flowers from my stash. Hope you enjoy it!

Blessings, Bonnie

Vintage Floral Card

Today we welcome our guest designer Tiffany Guenther! She has created a beautiful card using the new Eclectic Charm collection. I love all the fussy cutting and details she 

incorporates into her projects.

 She used the "Picturesque" paper for her base and cut out the floral images to use for accents.

Then added a distressed kraft layer and stamped using the "Scripted Medley" stamp set for depth.

Tiffany loves to make paper flowers! Check out these roses, she cut flower shapes from the left over "Picturesque" paper and created dimension using a shaping mold from Heartfelt Creations, mixing and matching her hand made flowers with other paper flowers

 Cut out stamps from the "Calling Cards" paper  adorn the card for some finishing touches.

 

She used a lacy die cut from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps to give added texture to her project. 

And of course no project is finished without some pretty ribbon!

Thank you for stopping by to see the lovely projects from our team.

and thanks to Tiffany for letting us share with all of you today!
