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!!

Inspiration from our Creative Team

Welcome to the middle of February.  We hope you had a sweet Valentine's Day.

We have loved seeing how our Creative Team has used all the new Blue Fern Studios products this year.  Today we would like to share some additional projects from our great team.  In honor of Valentine's Day, our theme this week is pink and/or anything love related.   You are sure to find some sweet inspiration! 

First up is this frosty, wintery layout created by Keren Tamir using several Blue Fern snowflake chipboard pieces that she has painted white.  The title is from our "Cool, Calm, Chill" word titles set.  
What a gorgeous layout Keren has created!



Like Keren, Wilma Voermans's layout shows how a piece of basic white cardstock can be transformed into a work of magic.  The finishing touch is the "Blushing Beauty" chipboard title.



Marie-Josee Hamel created this beautiful layout using our Blush Collection.  
The photo is perfectly framed with a couple of our chipboard borders.



A collection of love-inspired layouts just wouldn't be complete without a baby.   
Sandi Clarkson also chose to use the Blush collection for this super-sweet layout. 

 

If you miss seeing two-page layouts, then this one is for you.  Nicole Doiron has created two very romantic wedding layouts using the Blush paper collection, along with our Best Day Ever chipboard title, and the Romantic Page Dangles. 



Although Bec Genet's layout isn't pink, it certainly is elegant with tones of gold and black, and fits in nicely with our love theme.  The paper is from our Autumn Anthology and Love Story collections.  The "Love This" title is part of the "Arrow Words" chipboard set which also contains 7 other titles.



Our final project today is for those of you who love Artist's Trading Cards (ATC).   Renea Harrison has one for you that she created using the Timeless collection.  The shabby hearts are accented with Blue Fern's Mystic Plum embossing powder.  Who wouldn't love to receive this beauty?




We hope you have found some inspiration to use the next time you create!

Snowy feelings....from Switzerland.


I hope you had beautiful Christmas days .
In Switzerland there was no snow , it was warm and the tourists are dissapointed.
Since I wanted to make a snowfeeling layout I took  pictures from last year.


For my background I used a paper from the vintage Christmas collection.
I added clear gesso on both sides to make the paper sturdy .
It also helps to have a flat page.
On another (same) paper I doodled circles.
Than I punched some flowers out of it.
I took a a normal flowerpunch, and glue them in a pattern using both sides .
Behind my picture a paper with Swiss images I found at the tourist info .
The negative leftover pieces from the punching are tucked in between the layers.

Over the whole page I glued silverfolien , just little pieces here and there.
The chipboard is the charming snow medley piece.
I cut it in 4! pieces and used them all over the page.
All I did was painting 2 layers with my wink of stella pen.
The chipboard gets just a little darker with a beautiful soft shimmer.
The titel was also done like this, but just one layer with the glitterpen.
I rubbed some gesso over it to give that snowy feeling.

Thanks for visiting the blog
