Two cards with the Bird Waltz Collection

Hello and welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog.
DT Henriëtte here today sharing two cards I've created using the Bird Walz Collection.




On both cards I used chipboard pieces from the Bird Waltz set, 
Blue Fern lace and flowers.




I colored the chipboards with inks and paint and also wax to give them some shine.




All paper edges are distressed and I've put brown ink on the flowers, laces and cheesecloth 
to give them a more vintage look.




Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Altered bag with Radiance

Hi everyone! Henriëtte here. Today I'll be sharing another project I've made
using the Radiance collection.


I've altered a simple brown paper bag, decorated it with flowers, lace and chipboard and 
also added a big tag.

Before I started decorating the bag I painted the edges with a layer of white gesso and 
flipped the bottom to create a pocket.
I cut the Radiance papers to size and glue them on the bag.
This time I used the peach colored papers from the collection.
 They are so beautiful!



On the edge of the pocket I glued a piece of gorgeous lace and added a few matching flowers.
There is also a Radiant charm.

On the top of the bag I glued a big chipboard. It's the ornate florisch corner which I heat embossed with oatmeal embossing powder.




Then I made a big tag with a lovely flower ephemera center piece and 
a flower charm.




The backside of the bag is also decorated with the Radiance papers.




How a simple brown paper bag can turn into a beautiful gift bag!

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.

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!

If these walls could talk - layout by Vicky Alberto

This is the cute bungalow we moved from last year (yet remained in the same community), after purchasing our lake house. I still get emotional when I think of almost 18 years worth of memories in that place. 


For this layout I used Blue Fern's gorgeous Remnants paper collection, coordinating adhesive shapes, lace, flowers, garden daisies chipboard and tattered walls ephemera. A few little embellishments from my stash to tie everything together.


On the close-up, you can see that I used Blue Fern's lavender seedlings on the garden daisies chipboard. They perfectly matched the purple lilacs in the photo. I still miss all the pretty lilacs we had on that property! Well, as always... thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my project 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!

I covered the box with the patterned papers and added a ribbon.





Then I made the card. I made it so it could fit in the box.


I added lace, chipboard pieces, flowers, cuts from the papers, ribbon
 and a chipboard butterfly.



The card and box are a nice gift for a friend.

Lake House Layout - Vicky Alberto

We moved to a lakefront house a while back (less than 2 miles from our last house)... what a change and more renovations still to be done!  I will share a layout of my previous house at another time...


For this layout I used the gorgeous Blue Fern Amber & Apricot paper collection, coordinating adhesives shapes, tattered walls ephemera, rose leaves and hook & keys chipboard, plus gorgeous flowers. Lots of distressed layers and only a few embellishments from my stash.



On the leaves and key chipboard pieces I used variety of inks and chalks, for a rustic look. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my newest project!
