July inspiration by Wendy Scholten

Hi All,
July is almost at the end, wow how time flies when you are having fun ;-)
And fun i did have with this new gorgeous collection Wanderlust.
In real life it's even better then on the pictures!
Just love this collection, it's so perfect for your (holiday) pictures,
if they are made in the mountains, at the beach or on the water.

I have 2 layouts and a mini album for you this month all featuring the Wanderlust Collection

So let's start with my first layout called:

'Mountain View'

This picture was made in Yangshuo-China where i went with my sister last year on a road trip. Just love those mountains, this was our view from the hotel terras.

I used the Wanderlust- Ocean Voyage paper and the word explore from the calling cards paper.
I used a stencil with moddeling paste and the Departure stamp to create my background.
For my chipboard i used the Natural Frame which i embossed with the oatmeal embossing powder and the Mountain view title with Hot Cocoa embossing powder. I also used a brown frame from the printed chipboard pieces.
Have you seen Blue Fern studios newest product? Their lace is gorgeous, i love to work with lace so i'm very happy they have it now. I used the Lace 3 and the Ivory Braided Trim on this layout. And i cut out a flower from the Lace 1.
The new collection comes with beautiful flowers which match the papers very well, the Wanderlust Lilies, i used one in my flower cluster. And i used a few embellishments from my own stast like a small bottle filled with glitter, a button, small flowers and some chrystals.

I think this photo is so cute of our daughter with her 2 nieces, they are so fond of eachother, it's so adorable!
I used the Wanderlust Calling Cards paper and the Petites paper.
The only thing i did for my background was using the Departure Stamp. And a few calling cards.

For my chipboard i used the Seaside Frame and the word Explore from the Wanderlust Words.
I embossed them all with the Hot Cocoa embossing powder.
I cut out pieces of the Lace 4 to tuck behind my flower clusters, where i also used a Wanderlust Lilie.
And a piece of the Printed chipboard which i cut in half.

 It's a chipboard box and album where i used the Wanderlust papers on and a sheet of acrylic paper.
We went sailing on a small boat last summer with our daughter and my family in-law.
She and her nephew had the best time ever!
For the top off the box i used a piece of the Road Trip paper, a piece of the Ivory Braided Trim, the Curling Corner which i cut in half and embossed with the Hot cocoa Embossing powder as well as the word Journey from the Wanderlust Words set, a wanderlust Lilie and some embellishments from my own stash. 
I used some ink on the edges of the box and also the edges from the entire album.
And binded the album with some string.
For the front of the album i used an acrylic sheet behind my cover, so i could use the other piece of the Curling Corner and glue it on there, i embossed it on both sides so the inner side also has color.
I usd the Departure Stamp to give my paper some texture.
A few flowers, a piece of the Lace 3 and a piece of the calling cards paper to finish it.
For the inside pages i used some pieces from the Calling cards, Printed Chipboard, stamps, lace and some other small embellishments, below the last picture you can find a list from what i used in this album.



(My daughter put the shell and flower embellishments before my album, i think she did a good job, it looks good, lol!)

Three Beach themed Layouts with the Seaside Cottage Collection by Keren Tamir


Hi Everyone!!
I was thrilled to receive the new Seaside Cottage collection. 
I love the beach and being near the ocean. It's my ideal vacation and I go there any chance I get. 
I don't live near the ocean, but whenever I go, I love taking photos on the beach and near the water.
I also love collecting shells and then using them on my projects.
I've created three beach themed layouts below.

Here is the first one:

"Calm"



I used the Embark paper  from the Seaside Cottage collection for the background. I stencilled it with a fish scale looking pattern and sprayed it with blue ink.


The Seaside Frame and Flourish were embossed with Blue Fern Studios Oatmeal embossing powder. Then I gave it some blue touch-ups. The calm title was painted in blue and then covered in clear glittery stickles.


Finally, I added Blue Fern Studios flowers and some seashells I collected during one of my trips.


<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>

"By The Sea"

Here is my second layout for this month using the Voyage paper from the Seaside Cottage collection.


I actually cut the background paper in half and  connected the two edges in the middle so the sail boat would be in the center. Then I used some paste and stencils to create some wave like pattern to cover the seam.


I used the large Blue Fern Flourish chipboard to give the photo some wave-like movement. I embossed the flourish with Sea Mist embossing powder.
As a title I used part of the calling cards paper and then added some Seaside Lilies, roses and other Blue Fern Studios blooms. I also added shells of course.


<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>

"The end of a perfect day"

This is my third layout this month using the Regalia paper from the Seaside Cottage Collection.



I loved creating texture behind my photo by using cheese cloth  like the second layout above. I also used Blue Fern Studios blooms and shells like in my other layouts



To mat the photo I used a couple of pieces from the calling cards paper. I also used the "Seaside Charms" and "The end of a perfect day" title to embellish the layout. I embossed them with the Sea Mist embossing powder.


Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog!!

Have a wonderful day!!

First Look at Seaside Cottage!

Today we are super excited to share with you our first layout using the new Seaside Cottage Collection.  Creative team member Sandi Clarkson has created an elegant layout using the Whitewash paper along with the coordinating Calling Cards.  




The gorgeous Seashell Frame chipboard piece was embossed with Oatmeal, 
Ginger, Mushroom and Nutmeg Embossing Powder over wet gesso. 
 

 
Another item created especially for this collection is
 "A Walk on the Beach" chipboard title, which Sandi also embossed 
with Blue Fern Studios Ginger Embossing Powder.



 The finishing touches were added, and the layout was embellished with 
 flowers from the Seaside Lilies and Seaside Roses flower collections.


 If you haven't yet seen this collection, head over to THIS POST for a close-up look 
at each sheet of paper in this collection of 10 double-sided paper.  
What could be more alluring than thoughts of a cottage along the seaside?

This is just the first look at Seaside Cottage.  Be sure to check back when other members 
of our Creative Team will be here to show you how they have used this collection!

July Projects by Cathi

Hello my scrappy friends, Cathi here to share my July projects with you using 3 different and gorgeous Blue Fern Studios paper collections.


This collection, Ombre Dreams, is an oldie but goody, one of my favorites, I just love the gorgeous pastel shades, it screams summer to me! I decided to do some beach themed layouts and chose this beautiful Ginger's Dreams page to be my base for this layout.


My girls are now 12 and 13, they look so so young and adorable here making sand castles on Venice Beach in California! I used the gorgeous Seaside Frame to frame my photo, coloring it with Sea Mist Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. I added the fun title Hello Summer on top, using the Buttercup Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.


Here you see a cluster of gorgeous Tranquil Blooms and Courtship Blooms. I tucked in a starfish from the Seaside Seashells set  which I had embossed with the Imagine Ink Ginger Embossing Powder and some of my stash of real shells!!


I used a circle mask and molding paste and sprinkled the Imagine Ink Sunshine Glitter into the paste, I love the sandy look it gives!  You can see here the background stamping using my netting stamp from Essential Textures set and the circles from the Halftone set.

Here is my second beachy themed layout, this one is more atmospheric...it is a photo of the girls beach toys left behind while they ran off to dip their feet in the ocean...just a calm serene scene using the Peaceful paper from the Tranquility collection.



I absolutely love this Seaside Charms chipboard which I layered on top of my photo. I embossed it with Petal Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. I did some masking and used molding paste for my background and used one of my favorite patterned background stamps from the Forever stamp set. The butterflies in pink are from the Bourbon Street set.  I tucked in a few layers from the Calling Card paper to add dimension to my layout under the photo.


In my cluster I used another of my starfish chipboards, this time from the Seaside Treasure chipboard set.  I embossed the starfish in  Lime Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. I made a flower cluster with the gorgeous Tranquil Roses and Attic Charm Daisies. I also tucked in more of my stash of seashells!  I used the Inspiration chipboard, embossed with  Petal Imagine Ink Embossing Powder for my title.


Here you can see the Tranquil Blooms flower and more shells and a bit of the coral from the Seaside Treasure chipboard set. I tucked in a kraft tag for journaling.

For my final layout this month I used a vintage image I found of an adorable sleeping child. There was a bird on the photo so I added some bird resins to the layout!  For my base paper I used The Grand Ball sheet from the Love Story collection.


I used lots of layers from the Love Story Calling Cards sheet.  Here you can see lots of the stamping I did using the Texture Circles, Forever set, and the Essential Textures set.  I did some masking and modeling past here as well. My flower cluster is from the gorgeous Tranquil Roses and Lilies set and you can see a little piece from the Tattered Diamond Bits set which I embossed with Cotton Candy Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.


Here you can see the gorgeous Organic Vine chipboard piece embossed in Sea Mist Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. I also tucked in some more of the Tattered Diamond Bits under the photo. I added a resin birdbath and birds to fit the design of the layout!


I finished off the layout with the title Stillness which I embossed with the Sea Mist Imagine Ink Embossing Powder, tucking a cute little bird on top of the title!

I really enjoyed picking out some of my favorite papers and collections this month and I thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and visit!!
