August Projects by Maja

Hello everyone, welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog :-)

I have some projects for you today. All are based on the Attic Charm collection, filled with pastel colours and delicate designs, perfect for many kinds of projects! But they are not limited to sweet romantic or girly pages! I have made two boy layouts using this collection ;-)
Let's begin with a soft teal and gold page:


The title of the layout is the large Remember Moments piece that I embossed with Oatmeal and Sea Mist embossing powders:


I stamped some Journey stamps in the background, and then put my photos in Clip Frames. I used three embossing powders to add colours to the pieces: words with Ebony, clips with Mushroom and frames with Ginger:


I used one of the quotation tags from the Calling Cards sheet and added some flowers to match the colour palette:



We Do Not Remember Days:
Papers: Attic Charm: Spring Posy, Generation, Calling Cards
Chipboard: Remember Moments, Clip Frames, Directions
Flowers: Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Tranquil Roses and Lilies, Tranquil Blooms
Stamps: Journey
EP: Ginger, Oatmeal, Mushroom, Ebony, Sea Mist


And here's the other boy page, this time focusing on green shades of the papers from the collection, and many varietes of green embossing powders. They were a perfect choice for my green-eyed nephew's photo :-)


I used the Attic Key paper for the background, added some texture with a stencil and some stamping:


For the title I used the Dare to Dream piece that I embossed with Verdant and Lucky powders:



To decorate the page further I used the Lucky piece of the Charmed Page Dangles and added some colour to it with Copper, Lucky and Grassy Knoll embossing powders...


...and selected flowers from the Coursthip Blooms and Glitter Roses sets:




Lucky:
Papers: Attic Charm: Attic Key, Generation
Chipboard: Dare to Dream, Charmed Page Dangles, Postage Frames
Flowers: Attic Charm Glitter Roses, Courtship Blooms
EP: Grassy Knoll, Clover, Lucky, Verdant, Copper


The Attic Charm collection is perfect for many kinds of projects, not only layouts. Here are two cards I made using these beautiful papers. Here's a baptism card featuring the filigree Ornate Cross piece:


I added some machine sewing and delicate white and pink flowers:


 The soft pastel colours of papers from the Attic Charm collection are ideal for wedding projects too:


I placed a stamped sentiment in the smallest of the Psotage Frames piece and added two Mini Flourishes. All pieces are embossed with Oatmeal:


I finished off my design by adding some Tranquil Roses and Blooms, vintage ribbon and waxed string bows:




Baptism Card:
Papers: Attic Charm: Foyer, Mercantile
Chipboard: Ornate Crosses, Mini Flurishes, Postage Frames
Flowers: Courtship Roses, Tranquil Roses and Lilies
EP: 14 Karat

Wedding Card:
Papers: Attic Charm: Attic Key, Calling Cards
Chipboard: Postage Frames, Mini Flourishes
Flowers: Courtship Blooms, Tranquil Blooms, Tranquil Roses and Lilies
EP: Oatmeal

That is all for today, thank you very much for visiting the blog!

Three projects, three collections by Marie-Josée

Hello all,

I hope you are all doing fine. School is almost out (well, here in Canada), and summer is just around the corner. Here are a few projects for you!

Box + easel card

I created this gift box with an easel card on top with the Déjà Vu paper collection. I used two different papers: Friperies for the box, and Un voyage à Paris for the card.



I altered one of the butterflies from the Brigitte Butterfly Set with white gesso and purple mist.



I also used a piece of the Country Picket Fence, altered with white gesso:


"Delight" layout

For this layout, I used a paper from the Blue Fern Garden paper collection, the first released by Blue Fern.


I glued the Checker Bits chipboard pieces to my background and added white gesso on top with a sponge.


I also altered a piece of the Postage Frames chipboard set with white gesso. The word Delight from the Delight set was altered with Gelatos. I just used the Gelatos on the bare chipboard and with my finger and a bit of water, I applied the color all over.


"Memories Captured" layout

This layout was created with the Ombré Dreams paper collection. The paper I used is Julianna's Dream.


 I used the Crosshatch Frame under my photo. I didn't alter it.


I also used the Memories Captured chipboard from the Captured Words set. This piece was also used as is, without any medium.

Inspired by Elena Morgun

Hello, friends!
It's Elena Morgun here today. Glad to see you here, I hope you are having great sunny days!
Today I'll be inspiring you with the layout and step-by-step video tutorial, and mixed media canvas.

"Happy" layout

For the background I used a paper from Love Story Collection. I love this kind of papers! Wonderful background to make a photo stand out. This shot was made while my kids were going crazy:) It's very difficult to take a photo with both of them, but I am trying my best.
All the details of creation process you can watch in step-by-step video tutorial.
Enjoy!

The second project for today is the mixed media canvas.
I created the background with the help of paper scraps, adding texture paste, stamping and spraying. Oh, I how I enjoyed playing with colors and textures!
Canvas turned out quite dimensional. I think, it's going to look nice on the wall.

Cover, layout+tutorial from Elena Morgun

Hello, friends, it's Elena Morgun here today

I recently have received the Déjà Vu Collection. It's just wonderful!
I am fond of purple color and I fell in love with this collection at the first sight. New stamps are gorgeous, too! There are background stamps... and also the stamps with the large elements, which I like stamping on the cellum and then use them as separate die cuts.
And todayI'll be inspiring you with the layout and step-by-step video tutorial, and the soft cover for the album on the rings.

"Sweet" layout

There's my Mom on the right on the photo. 
The chipboard I pained with spays and the accents are added with watercolors. The word Sweet I covered with Patina from Ranger. I like how convenient it is to work with these bottles, and also this paint adds some dimention to the project. You really should try it out with the chiboard!
Enjoy the video!
