Exploding box with the Radiance collection

Hi, Henriëtte here today sharing my first project with the new "Radiance" collection.
I love this collection, it's so cheerful with beautiful summer colors.
The matching flowers and chipboards are perfect for my project: an exploding box.


The box is made from white cardstock.
I covered all the sides with the Radiance patterned papers.

On the lid I also glued a paper doily, 3 flowers, a ephemera piece and 
2 chipboard butterflies.
I heat embossed the chipboard butterflies with starry night blue embossing powder.
I thought they were a bit to blue so I added another layer of white embossing powder.
After doing that they were soft blue and matching the papers very well.






I decorated the inside with more ephemera and "blushing blooms" chipboards.





I made the centerpiece by cutting a styrofoam ball in half and glueing white lace around the base. 
 I added lots of pink and white flowers and two heat embossed butterflies.
It looks like they are flying.
I took a small strip of acetate and bent the top and bottom so I could 
glue it on the butterfly and on the styrofoam ball between the flowers.
From a distance you cannot see the acetate strips. 






It's a very bright and sunny exploding box.
I hope you like it also.

Easter basket with Spring Parade

Hello everyone,  DT Henriëtte here today sharing an Easter basket featuring the 
Spring Parade collection.




The idea for the Easter basket I got from Tara's craft studio.
I made the basket from white sheets of chipboard and decorated it with papers,
 lace, flowers and chipboard pieces.



I colored the chipboard eggs and bunny with inks.
On the top corners of the basket I glued spring colored flowers.




It was a fun project to make and I love the spring colors and flowers.
As my own daughter is to old to go egg hunting I'll be giving this basket to the neighbors children with some chocolate eggs in it.





I hope you like my Easter project. 
There's still some time to make one for Easter.

May Projects by Babi

Hi Everyone,

Today it's my turn to share with you my new projects with the new Happy Accident collection.
I used the gorgeous Fate and Lucky papers  to create my first project, called "Creativity".


I applied some texture paste on a butterfly stencil to create a light texture to the main paper. Then, I glued a few strips of the Lucky paper to complete the background.

I covered the Berry Stems and Collage chipboards with Plum and Oatmeal embossing powder. It matched perfectly with the paper.



I stamped the Spring Accents on a vellum paper and cut it to create the cluster. Then, added some flowers and other embellishments to finish my page.


Supplies using Blue Fern Studios:
Papers: Fate and Lucky
Chipboard: Berry Stems and Collage
Embossing Powder: Oatmeal and Plum
Flowers: Happy Roses
Stamp: Spring Accents

--------------

I'm also using the  Happy Accident Collection to create my second page called "Happiness".

I used the Incident paper as the main page. This paper has a lovely texture and I didn't feel the need to add much more to it.  I simply added some texture paste on a script stencil and poured some Honey embossing powder,  just to bring a little bit of attention to the middle of the page.

Then I stamped the background with black ink and my base is ready to be decorated.


I covered  Garden Lace and Turkish Bits with Snow and Stormy Skies embossing powder.  I basically covered the chipboards with  Snow Powder and sprinkled the Stormy Skies to add more contrast.


I finished with Printed Chipboards - Happy Accident, flowers and and cut leaves.



Supplies using Blue Fern Studios:
Papers: Incident
Chipboard: Garden Lace Bits, Turkish Bits and Printed Chipboard
Embossing Powder: Honey, Snow Stormy Skies

--------------

My last project is a exploding box also with Happy Accident collection. I just love this "yellow - blue" color combo and decided to create something to go along with my second layout.


I used a kraft cardstock to create the base  and lid for my box.

I choose the following papers to decorate the layers and the interior of the box: IncidentFlukeFate and Chance. 


On the lid I used a beautiful frame that came in the Printed Chipboard sheet. I covered it with gesso to match the papers.

I also used Spring Flowers and Layering Stems that I covered with Snow embossing powder.


The interior  was decorated with the papers listed above and some flowers that I fussed cut from Fascination- Serendipity collection.


Some elements from Printed Chipboard to decorate the little squares.  I created two layers for the interior but it was quite difficult to photograph.

Then, added Turkish Bits chipboard which I embossed with Snow and  Breeze embossing Powder.


Flowers, laces and other embellishents for the final details.


Supplies using Blue Fern Studios:
Papers: Incident, Fluke, Fate and Chance - Happy Accident
Fascination- Serendipity
Chipboard:  Turkish Bits, Layering Stems and Printed Chipboard
Embossing Powder: Snow, Breeze
Flowers: Spring

Hope you enjoy it and have lots of fun with this beautiful collection.
See y'all next month.
