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 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.

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.

Cathi's Tranquility Projects for May

I am absolutely in love with the beautiful new Blue Fern Studio's Tranquility collection.  I love the earthy, natural, calming colors and themes in the collection. I decided I would do all my May layouts using the new collection and the gorgeous new flowers that match with it.


For my first layout, I actually let the beautiful orange flowers of the Tranquil Blooms inspire my choice of image! I just love this beautiful vintage image and I though she just radiated calmness in this photo!  I layered some pieces from the Tranquility Calling Cards Paper under the photo, using the Blissful paper for my base.


In this closeup you can see the Calm chipboard and Mini Flourishes which I embossed with Imagine Ink Chili Powder embossing powder.


I added lots of stamps to this layout background, including the Forever texture and chain stamp and the Making Plans stamp.


In addition to the beautiful Tranquil Blooms, I added some smaller flowers from the Courtship Blooms. I added some orange splashes to my background.

I just love this beautiful Patience paper I used for this layout. Again, I love to use the Calling Cards to layer under my images for extra layers and details. I chose this sweet photo of my daughter. She loves to practice her makeup and takes photos for Instagram!! I stole this one and played with it making it soft focused and black and white for a calm feeling.


I used the gorgeous Spring Frame chipboard to frame the photo of my daughter, using the Image Ink Breeze embossing powder and Sunshine glitter to add some special touches.  I just love all the names, the spring frame with Breeze and Sunshine, perfect!! In my flower cluster I added gorgeous Tranquility Blooms and Courtship Blooms flowers, along with a fun Prima nest!!


Here you can see Hushed chipboard word as well as my background stamping using a flower from the Country Garden stamp set in Walnut Stain Distress Ink and the gorgeous brick wall stamp from the Essential Textures stamp set in Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.


I finished the layout off with a bit of splashes using green mist. I like the sweet effect the Imagine Ink Sunshine glitter gives to the flowers on the Spring Frame!

For my final layout I chose another serene looking vintage image! I love this beautiful image of a girl with a hint of blue in her dress. I thought it fit this beautiful Calm paper from the Tranquility collection perfectly.


This layout features a lot of flowers from the Tranquil Roses and Lilies flower set. I used the Serenity chipboard, embossed in Imagine Ink Seven Seas embossing powder. I also used the Tranquil Foliage, embossing it in both Imagine Ink Sage and Seven Seas embossing powder.


Here you can see the many layers I used from the Calling Cards paper, adding more lilies and roses from the Tranquil Blooms flowers.


For the background of my layout I used the Arcadia Textures stamp in Walnut Stain Distress Ink, adding lots of butterflies from the Bourbon Street stamp set. I finished off the layout with some masking and molding paste and some splashes of blue ink.

2 Layouts and a Gatefold album by Lisa Gregory

Hi There, Lisa here, welcoming you to November! That  means 3 more designs from me to inspire you.

For this first layout, I was in a purple kind of mood. I used Ombre Dreams paper in  Joyces Dream. I loved the purple and blue tones in the paper. I did a little masking with molding paste and chose sprays to enhance the colors. I mounted the paper on a piece of corrugated cardboard and did some distressing  around the edges.


Surrounding the photo I used Tattered Diamond Bits chipboard that were sprayed with spray in 2 colors. I also took apart the Organic Vine chipboard and used it in 2 places on the layout.


I took 1 piece from the Gingers Poppies Set and used embossing powder on it. Then I sprayed it with spray for added color and shimmer.


 I tucked some of the Tattered Diamond Bits in between the paper and cardboard in my peekaboo spots around the edges.


For my next layout I wanted to go for the golden theme of Autumn. I used the Montage Collection in Invitation.


I heat embossed gold embossing powder on the Royal Monarchs butterfly. Then I used some German Gold Glass glitter on spots of the wings. Once it was set. I glued on some rhinestones in different colors. It looks like jeweled brooch. This brooch was my inspiration. I didn't want to distract from the beautiful intricate details of the Monarch butterfly, so I only added a few rhinestones.

 I treated the Treasured Floral Frame  the same as in the butterfly.


I heat embossed the Blessings chipboard from the Spiritually Speaking set. 


This next project is a 6x6  Gate Fold album. I found I could use the word cutouts on the inside along with some room for journaling, or photos, or both!

I used the Blue Fern Garden paper collection in Boudoir for the front, back and inside covers.


The inside tiers were made from a variety of tags, small pictures and wording  from Ombre Dreams and Montage.


 I created 3 tiers to the Gate Fold album. There is plenty of room to add pictures and journaling.


 The backs of each section would be perfect to place small photos.


I added a small clasp closure to keep the album closed. The Spring Frame was heat embossed using  embossing powder. There is a gold undertone that simply shimmers in the powders and the coverage on chip board is amazing!


Thank You for joining me today for my November Blog post. I hope you visit us often as the Design Team always has gorgeous inspiration for you. Don't forget our Sketch Challenge as well as the arrival of the new Blue Fern Studios paper collection "Sanctuary"!! We are very excited!!
