January Inspirations and Video Tutorial by Jessica

Hi everyone!  Hopefully you had a nice Christmas and New Year! I am super excited to be part of the awesome design team here at Blue Fern Studios for 2018.  I would like to introduce myself before I share my layouts.



My name is Jessica McFall and I tried mixed media scrapbooking for the first time in August, 2015.  I absolutely loved it!  In my personal life, I recently became an aunt to two awesome nephews!  They are TOO CUTE!  I am also the mother to my lovely cat Crimson. :-D  She is amazing, even if you are not a "cat person".  If my dad can grow fond of her, I think anyone can. haha


Here are the links to my websites:


Now, on with the show!

"Cherish Life"


For my first layout, I used the Beaumont Paper from the Remnants Collection for my background.

I cut one of the frames from the Ever After Frame Set in half, then used one of the halves on the left side of my page.  It was embossed with Night Sky Embossing Powder, and Red Wine Glitter was added in spots on the chipboard.  After that, I used the Penned Flourishes Stamp and embossed the image over it with Ivory Embossing Powder.


The flower on the left side of the page is from the Late Winter Lilies Flowers Set.  Using the Remnants Printed Chipboard, I decided to create the title for my layout - "Cherish Life".


My picture has been matted on parts of the Callaway Paper from the Remnants Collection.


Behind the picture, I added another frame from the Ever After Frame Set and embossed it with Green Ivory Embossing Powder.  Notice how the Meadow Seedlings add a nice touch to the chipboard.


To the left of the picture, I used a flower from the Remnants Blossoms, one from the Wanderlust Lilies set, and the rose at the bottom is from the Happy Roses set.



In the picture above, you get a nice closeup of the Branch Set Chipboard.



More Meadow Seedlings and Remnants Printed Chipboard to the right of the picture balances the layout very well.


The You Make Me Smile Chipboard in the center of the page was first embossed with Night Sky Embossing Powder, then I added Ivory Embossing Powder in spots over the Night Sky.

"Joy"

For my second layout titled "Joy", I included a video tutorial below mostly in fast forward.  I would love answering extra questions that you may have.  Please post them in the comments section here or on the Blue Fern Studios Youtube page and I will get back to you ASAP.


My background paper is Westfield from the Remnants Collection.  I used the Butterflies, Tattered Newsprint, and the Crackle Textures Stamps to create my background.


To the left and right edges of my layout, I embossed the Floral Lattice Bits Chipboard with Ivory Embossing Powder then Pearl Embossing Powder and added Burgundy Seedlings.


I also put the word Happy from the Remnants Printed Chipboard to the right edge of my page.


For this layout, I used two sets of flowers.  The Homespun Blossoms and Heartland Blossoms work well together since they both have beautiful white flowers.  The matting under my picture was created by embossing pieces of the Mini Remnants Paper with the Rose Frame and Journaling Cards Stamps with Dark Chocolate Embossing Powder.


To the right of the picture, pieces of the Ever After Frame Set were embossed with Ivory Embossing Powder.  The flowers have Russett Glitter added to the centers.


The title "Joy" comes from part of the Find Joy Chipboard and was embossed with Ivory Embossing Powder.


I randomly added some Meadow Seedlings in places around the page.


And here is my video tutorial that I promised.  My goal was to try and include a few explanations and tips that may not be in other video tutorials.  Anyhow, I hope it is fun and informative.  Have fun creating!

"Wonderful"


My last layout I would like to share with you is a winter themed layout using several of the Vintage Christmas Collection papers.  I chose to use the Auld Lang Syne paper for my background.


After adding clear gesso to my paper, I used some matte gel medium to attach various cards from the Holiday Cards paper and Greeting Cards paper.  I also used some of these cards as matting for my picture.  After adding texture with a stencil and texture paste, I used a little bit of taupe mist around my stenciled area.  After I added all of my elements to my layout, I decided I wanted more color over the taupe mist.  I chose another stencil with matte gel medium then sprinkled some Mauve Seedlings over the matte gel.  I was very glad I did.  


I embossed the Ornate Medallions Chipboard with Pearl Embossing Powder, and while it was still hot, I sprinkled some White Gold Glitter on top to add a bit of sparkle.  To add more dimension to the page, I used some of the Vintage Christmas Printed Chipboard.  I LOVE how it can be used as a subtle accent to layouts or can be used as a focal point on a layout!  They are really versatile and fit the collections well.


The blue and white flowers are part of the Christmas Blooms set.  On the tips of each flower I added Blue Ice Glitter to make it have a frosty look.


The pink flowers on the page are part of the Remnants Blossoms set.  They also have some Blue Ice Glitter on the petal tips.


To help "anchor" the photo and the title, I added pieces of the Leafy Page Accents Chipboard.  I cut one of the chipboard pieces in half and embossed it with Green Ivory Embossing Powder.


I cut the word "Wonderful" from one of the Vintage Christmas Printed Chipboard pieces for the title of my layout.  I like how it looks like it is resting on the pink Remnants Blossoms flower.

August inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
It's Vera Shelemekh here and I'm happy to share with you some fresh and bright summer inspiration.  I've made a botanic layout with Wanderlust paper and mixed two summer collections in a seaside layout. And for the dessert today are Happy accident chocolate boxes with lace and flowers.

The summer here in Moscow is a bit cold this year, but we had a couple of warm weeks to enjoy the Nature, to wonder with a butterfly net and breathe wonderful floral smells.
For this layout I used Wanderlust - Lakeside as background.

The photo is framed in a frame from Ever After Frame Set covered with avocado embossing powder.


 I decorated the layout with many stamped flowers, Damask Flourishes chipboard covered with lime embossing powder, stamped bugs and butterflies and a sweet owl.

 
"Discover" is the header taken from Wanderlust Words set

The other layout is combination of Wanderlust and Seaside cottage collections. The background is Ocean Voyage from Wanderlust. And the composition is the mixture of Seaside Cottage - Splendor and elements cut from the paper with cards.

 I also used the octopus and sea stars from Nautical Set and framed the photo in Wanderlust - Printed Chipboard frame.

June projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans!
Vera Shelemekh is on air and I'm happy to share with you my projects featuring the new collection Garden Life which inspires to create wonderful flourish layouts.

I'll start with a fairy tale layout about my son and his girlfriend. Garden Life - Morning Dew paper as background does not require too many embelishments. It's so beautiful itself.

I added cut elements from Garden Life - Snippets and Garden Life - Flower Bed paper sheets. All these characters and flowers make the fairy tale.


I used  Stamp - Wedding Sentiments for the header.


I can't leave my layouts without wonderful Blue Fern Studios chipboards. In this I used Leafy Bough bits covered with lime embossing powder. And one more small header from the set of Garden Life - Printed Chipboard

------------------------------ 
The other layout is for my Wedding album. I decided to divide the Garden Life - In Bloom paper and fussy cut the elements from the upper part. I replaced the cut part with some craft paper and adhered many cut flowers on it.


The header is made with Follow Your Heart chipboard covered with Icicle embossing powder and soot glitter.

The Spring frame is covered with Icicle embossing powder and  Glitter - Fool's Gold. For the backgroung I used Leafy florals Stamp.

 I also used the round piece of chipboard from the Garden Life - Printed Chipboard set.

and also many wonderful cut elements from  Garden Life - Snippets and Garden Life - Flower Bed

.. and for the desert two birthday cards.
I cut Garden Life - Merriment into two pieces, folded them and cut up to the size of 10x15 cm
The cards are decorated with frames from Ever after frame set, elements cut from  Garden Life - Snippets and the remnants of the basement.

The frames are covered with Embossing Powder - Iridescent Grey. I made two layers of powder.

I also added Heartland Blossoms white flowers. They look so tender.
