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.






Products used:

Papers and printed chipboard pieces:
Attic charm
In the Mood
Heartland

Flowers:
Remnants blooms
Floral basics pink
Summer Blooms
Blue Ferns Studios florals

Charm:
Ornamental keys


Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Coffee shop gift card holder - by Vicky Alberto

I am sharing a fun card I made using all of the scraps left over from projects I have created for Blue Fern since February. Can you spot the collections? Homespun, Heartland, Remnants, Wanderlust, Amber & Apricot.


Inside is a coffee shop gift card holder with Happy Accident collection ephemera.


On the front I used Blue Fern seedlings on the love letter chipboard, Homespun adhesive shapes and some pretty flowers too.  Everything on this project is Blue Fern product!


Thanks for stopping by the blog today!

Altered Can and Jar - Vicky Alberto

I decided to have some fun altering a tomato can and a plastic mayonnaise jar...


I just can't seem to get enough of Blue Fern's Homespun and Heartland collections, so I mixed them together! 


On the tomato can, I added an adhesive butterfly from the Remnants collection, Tattered walls ephemera and Blue Fern flowers too. Nothing from my stash on here... this is ALL gorgeous Blue Fern product.


On the mayonnaise jar, Homespun adhesive shapes, Tattered walls ephemera, Blue Fern flowers, ribbon and flourish heart chipboard were added... again nothing from my stash on this project either!


On the heart chipboard I inked in dark pink and then randomly glued some Blue Fern pink embossing powder on top, for a thick shabby look. Well... once again thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my projects!

Two Kirigami Gift Boxes - Vicky Alberto

I am back to share a cute project idea - 6 x6 inch kirigami gift boxes. These are great for any time of year. I had fun playing with the Blue Fern's Heartland and Homespun collections, plus their gorgeous flowers, lace, adhesive shapes (that coordinate with the paper collections)... and of course chipboard (the clock is from the love story accents).


Here is a close-up of the first box...
The only thing used from my "stash" is a paper doily.


Here is a close-up of the second box...
On the clock chipboard (from the love story accents), I simply dabbed ink to leave expose raw chipboard showing. Sometimes less is more on some projects and a simple technique is perfect to suit the design style.


 Thanks for taking the time to view my projects today and you can find a kirigami gift box tutorial on my blog at:

Two cards with Heartland papers

Hi, DT Henriëtte here today sharing two card I've created using the heartland papers.

and placed it behind the die cut circle frame.
I've added white lace and flowers in the lower right corner.





For the other card I colored the chipboard frame with pink and green inks to match the papers and glued behind it a cut out from the Heartland "Love notes" paper.
I added flowers, a cute bow made from dyed seam binding, some die cut leaves
 and a stamped sentiment.

Heartland collection

Cards for "LOVE" month - by Vicky Alberto

My name is Vicky Alberto (aka Simply Paper in the design world). After a 4-year break from being on design teams, I am thrilled to be designing for Blue Fern Studios for 2019... and that I finally get to renew my passion for paper art!  My blog address is http://simplypaperandcreativity.blogspot.com where I chat about my work, and share my various tutorials.  I describe my style as “a little shabby and a lot of chic”, with a vintage approach. 



I enjoy working with vintage/romantic style papers and adore adding distressed layers, doilies, lace, stamping, and putting lots of flowers and chipboard on my projects.  Therefore, Blue Fern is a match made in heaven for me... since they have it all and more!


Sometimes my projects feature handmade flowers and unique gift boxes (all of my tutorials are listed on my blog - quick links in the right sidebar).  Also, my full design gallery can be viewed at http://www.scrapbook.com/profiles/444271.html.  Now, enough about me and onto the beautiful elements I designed with this month...



The first card features a mix of the gorgeous Heartland and Homespun collections, plus love story adornments & 2 hearts set chipboards.  On the chipboard, I primed with gesso, glazed with a glass beads medium and then sprinkled BF pink embossing powder (before it dried).  Look at the gorgeous flowers and adhesive shapes that coordinate with the paper collections... wow Blue Fern makes designing so easy!  The only thing from my own "stash" is that cute heart paper doily.


The second card features once again a mix of the beautiful Heartland and Homespun collections, plus love letters chipboard.  On this chipboard piece, I simply randomly dabbed gesso to leave exposed raw chipboard.  I then dabbed a bit of clear glue and quickly sprinkled blue BF embossing powder (before it dried).  The only thing from my "stash" is the circle paper doily.  More gorgeous BF flowers that perfectly matched this project are featured here! 


Thanks for taking the time to view my projects today.  I cannot wait to create more and share new projects soon.  Blue Fern is a real treat to design for since there are so many amazing elements to design with, that all perfectly coordinate.  Blue Fern is truly one stop shopping!

Valentine inspiration by Henriëtte

Hi, my name is Henriëtte van Mierlo, I'm 49 years. I live in The Netherlands with 
my husband Robert and my 17 year old daughter Emma.
 I work parttime in financial administration and in my sparetime I love to craft, 
especially card making.
I’ve been making cards for many years, tried different styles but nowadays they are 
more shabby chic/vintage.
Besides card making I also like mixed media projects, flower making (foamiran, fabrics, paper), 
DIY projects, working with polymer clay and altering art.
When I'm not crafting I love reading books and I try to go to the gym twice a week.
Well, never a dull moment and often not enough hours in the day.

Here are the links to my blog, facebook, pinterest, instragram and you tube channel.


I'm very excited to be on the Blue fern Studios design team and looking forward to share my creativity with you.



The first project I like to share is in style with today's occasion Valentine's day. 💘





I altered this heart shaped box using the beautiful Heartland papers.



First I cut all the paper pieces and glue them on, covering the box with the papers.



Then I decorated the box and lid with red ribbon, lace trim, BFS flowers and chipboard pieces.
I embossed the "love letters" chipboard with BFS "oatmeal" embossing powder. 




The chipboard heart and envelope are colored with inks.





Products Used

Patterned Paper:
Heartland - All you need, Love notes and Valentine party

Chipboard:
Love letters
Heart set
Remnants self-adhesive chipboard shapes

Embossing Powder:
Oatmeal

Flowers:
Garden Blooms

I hope you like my first project. Thanks for stopping by! 
I appreciate your comments very much.

Hugs, Henriëtte.
