Merry Christmas for My Last Post- By Keren Tamir



Hi Everyone,
Its Keren here for the Blue Fern Studios blog for the last time.
After 3 amazing years being on the Blue Fern Studios Design Team it is time for me to say goodbye.
It was wonderful to be part of the team for so long and use their wonderful products.
I'm very grateful to have had this opportunity!!!

Here are my projects for this post!!



"Scandinavian Winter"

I created this 5x7 canvas depicting a scandinavian winter.


I used the Tree Trimmings paper from Vintage Christmas 2 collection for the background.
I embossed 2 of the Winter Village chipboard pieces and a snowflake with Icicle embossing powder and then added some gold glitter on it.
Once I glued everything I added some snow paste to enhance the winter feel.


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

"Winter"



I created this wintery layout using a picture of myself from a few winters ago.
I used the  back of the Holiday Cards paper from the Vintage Christmas 2 for the background.


I used the large chipboard flake to frame my photo. I cut the inside of the flake so I would have a space in the middle to frame my photo. Then I embossed it with Sea Mist embossing powder.


I used some shabby flakes and winter flakes to embellish around the frame. I embossed them along with the Winter title with Snow embossing powder.
I also added some snow paste to enhance the wintery feel.


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

 "Chritmas Cards"

Finally I created 3 Christmas cards: 


The first one uses both the Vintage Christmas collections and the Dangle flake as an embellishment. The chipboard was embossed with Golden Bricks embossing powder.



The Second Card also uses both Vintage Christmas collections


To embellish I added some Blue Fern blooms and a Holiday Deer that was also embossed in golden Bricks embossing powder


For the last card, I used the Deer ornament which was embossed in 14 karat embossing powder.


I used some flowers and cheesecloth to embellish the card as well!!



Thank you so much for visiting Blue Fern Studios Blog

and thank you for supporting me for so many years!!!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New year!!

Love,

Keren

Celebrating Hanukkah By Keren Tamir




I was really happy when I saw the new Hanukkah chipboards designs for Blue Fern Studios.
Since I celebrate Hanukkah and not Christmas, its always hard to find special embellishments for my holiday projects. However this time the new chipboard pieces were perfect for the occasion.

Here is a set of Hanukkah cards I made:

The backgrounds were created using the Vintage Christmas Auld Lang Syne and Wonderland papers. The neutral colours were perfect to combine with the Blue Fern Studios flowers and chipboard.


The Chipboard pieces "Festival of lights" and Hanukiah were embossed in snow embossing powder while the "Happy" title and the "Star of David" were embossed in the Sea Mist embossing powder.

I also created a Hanukkah layout this month using a photo of my kids lighting the Hanukiah. Photo is from a few years ago but I was happy I found it as it was perfect for this layout.



For the background I used the back of the Vintage Christmas Holiday Cards paper and some leftover pieces of papers from my cards to mat the photo.


I embossed both the Happy Hanukkah title and the Dreidels in Sea Mist embossing powder.




Thanks so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios Blog,

Have a wonderful day!!

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!!

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!!
