July inspiration by Vera Shelemekh + video tutorial

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
Vera Shelemekh is here with a couple of Tattered Walls collection projects and video tutorial for one of them. So, get ready your crafty hands and prepare your Blue Fern Studio papers and media... the show is beginning.
The first layout is full of bright flowers and summer breeze. The photo is matching the palette of the background. By the way this is Tattered Walls - Suite 204 paper with just several stains of green acrylic paint.


The frame has been embossed with Avocado and Lime powder.

This bird was cut out of the round shape ephemera.
 I love to add small accents with stamping and seedlings.

 And the chipboard birds are taken from the Spring Day set


Please, find and enjoy the video tutorial for this layout

January inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hey Blue Fern Studios fans! Vera Shelemekh is here for another wonderful creative term :)
Let me write a couple of words about myself for those who has recently joined the blog.

I'm Russian living and working in Moscow - the capital city. I'm a big fan of scrapbooking, papercrafting and quilting. I can't imagine my crafty space without paper and scissors.
Almost all of my layouts are telling stories about my family which consists of two young men: my 6 year old son and my hubby.

Scrapbooking is not only my hobby. It is my job and my lifestyle. I own a small shop on Etsy and occasionally teach people papercrafting.

You can find more information about me on social media:

Last year I started to make my Wedding album with amazing Blue Fern Studios papers and embelishments but I feel like I need more layouts to achieve the goal. So today I will share some new wedding layouts with Remnants papers and printed chipboards.
The first one is experimental as I've never made layouts with huge photos.
I've taken Remnants - Devonshire for the background and embelished it with Remnants printed chipboards, the fence covered with Antique gold embossing powder and leaves covered with Lime and Aocado embossing powder.



 With some Meadow seedlings, Apricot and Heartland blossoms and Lace the layout looks full of tender feelings.

The other layout is more brutal, One of the photo locations was a brick wall so I tried to imitate the pattern on the background with the help of Essental Textures stamp and the new Ivory Embossing powder.


 
To the background I also added butterflies with the Stamp - Garden Frolic
 

 Chipboard butterflies are covered with Soot glitter and Iridescent Grey and Icicle embossing powders

And for the dessert today I prepared two Valentine cards for someone really special. 
I switched my attention to the amazing Heartland collection which I love with all of my heart. 
Heartland - Bicycle for Two and  Red Rose Ball as background and for fussy cutting.



And the Angel is cut from Heartland Love notes. I covered hearts and  vine chipies with the mix of lime and avocado embossing powder. I also added some Mauve seedlings here and there and bits of Lace 3
 And of course you have noticed the Fresh florals.

Hello everyone.  We have moved our Fan of the Month feature post to Tuesdays this year, and we are excited to announce our first Fan of 2018 - Pam Ellis.  You are sure to love Pam's shabby chic style.  She has been a long time user of Blue Fern products and we can't wait to share her projects with you this month.  Now we will turn things over to Pam:





My name is Pam Ellis and I live in Gravenhurst, a small tourist town in Canada. I live with my hubby and dog Bruiser. I am a retired R.N. and also founded and ran a Family Violence Program in Toronto for 10 years. 


I am a mother of 5 daughters and Grandma to 5  grandchildren. I started scrapping in 2007 after the birth of my first grandchild. My style is typically shabby chic but I am evolving everyday. I typically scrap subjects close to me like my grandchildren. I try not to use pictures I didn't take unless I have to. I love scrapbooking (have a small store in my house lol) , camping, reading and cross-stitching. I have been in love with Blue Fern Studios since it opened it's doors!! I am a forever fan! I am so thrilled to be here with you this month!

October inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans,
Vera Shelemekh is here with some fresh inspiration. When I received the Homespun collection I just put away everything and started to create. I made a layout and a cookbook for homemade receipes to share with you this month ) This collection is so heartwarming and so cute that it became one of my fav Blue Fern collections.
But first, you know. winter is almost here and I'd like to create some wintery mood here on blog and only then warm you with something cosy )
So here it is
 I used Vintage Christmas - Auld Lang Syne as background together with flowers cut from Vintage Christmas - Deck the Halls paper.
There is a lot of wonderful Blue Fern Studios chipboards on this page:  Swirl ornaments covered with fire engine glitter and glistening sand embossing powder.
Berry stems are covered with Icicle Embossing powder.
 I also separeated some  framed winter words from the frame and covered the letters with glistening sand embossing powder.
  The tree itself is cut from the remnants of Vintage Christmas - Deck the Halls paper and painted with brown acrylic paint and Taupe embossing powder.

Homespun - Homemade as background and embelishments taken from Homespun printed chipboard and cut from Homespun - Picturesque and Homespun - Homespun Minis paper sheets.


 I covered the Cute kitchen set with Antique gold Embossing powder, added Lace 4 and some Mauve seedlings here and there


I love how the Sweet titles Stamp look like in the composition. I used two of them.

 I've framed this layout and I'm going to hang it on the wall in our kitchen. So sweet it is!
