December inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Ho ho ho, Vera Shelemekh is knocking at the door)
Merry Christmas to all Blue Fern Studios fans all over the world!

Let me share some sparkling Christmas layouts and one extra off the page project which I'm sure you will enjoy.
First I'll share a very festive layout made with the brand new Remnants collection. I've used Remnants - Beaumont dark side as background and some Remnants printed chipboards in decor.



I've applied a huge variety of wonderful Blue Fern Studios chipboards: Graduated Circles,
hat from Cozy Christmas set, Holiday Treats, Holly Sprigs, Winter flakes and the title. The gingerbrad man is covered with Antique gold Embossing powder.
The background is shining with Fire engine glitter, Flaming and Fir tree seedlings and 


Holly springs are covered with Avocado embossing powder and the circle frame with Glistening sand.

I have two more layouts with both Vintage Christmas collections. These are gifts for my good Instagram followers.
 This one is very tender and full of sweet romance with Vintage Christmas - Auld Lang Syne as background. And the frame is taken from the new Vintage Christmas printed chipboards set.
 I added Snow Medley and covered it with fools gold glitter. Therelayout is embelished with bits of fussy cut flowers from different collections.


 The black and white photo demands some contrast black elements, so I added some stamping with Holiday Wreath. And the title Heartland hoho chipboard perfectly fits the story.

December inspirations by Tartine Peluche

Woah! Already a whole year since my first post with you here. :)
I'm really happy to present you again my inspirations. I'll start fist, by thanking you for all your good comments throughout the year, a lot of happiness every month. Thanks so much!


Let me introduce my first layout of month, where winter seems so sweet and magical...
... but it's just an illusion... LOL

*Let it snow !*
(Vintage Christmas)


I start by doing my central part using the chipboard *Holly Frame, I embossed it with Snow powder and I altered it with a little bit of gold wax paste. On the berry I added *Glass seedlings. Then I embossed with *Avocado powder my firs chipboards. I placed a few flowers of the collection *Wanderlust and Tranquil Roses & Lilies ( Sorry these are no longer available )
I cut my Title ''Let it Snow'' on the trim paper.


I used stamp * Jingle Bells with brown solvent ink pad, added some pretty flowers and leaves frome *Wanderlust Vine to which I added two shades of green seedlings,* Fir Tree and  * Green Leaf.
 My ''Homestead'' embellishment is made by stamping on shrink plastic, I love it!
You know  I'm addicted...

My deer... I'm in love with him ... LOL
I started by embossing in *Taupe, then I added *Hot Cocoa powder, two shades of
golden brown. Under the deer I placed some of the chipboard *Snow Medley
that I embossed with *Stormy Skies powder.
A little golden thread and you're done!

Some pieces of golden *lace 9C adds luxury to my layout.
To balance my layout of the color taupe, I added a small chipboard from Leafy Page Accents kit.
You can see the other piece of *Snow Medley under my flowers and fir. I cutted the bird on the paper Wonderland.

Then I used the central part of the paper *Magical* to begin my arrangement.



In first, picture give all the magic to my layout, I've found it on Pinterest...
Then, the beautiful chipboard Holidays Bright embossed with *Oatmeal*.
Under this chipboard, a mix of BFS flowers, *Attic Charm Glitter Roses* and *Happy Roses* 


The small frame on the right side is in polymer paste and I embossed it with *Oatmeal* powder too.
The little girl come from paper *Let It Snow*. Under this frame you can see an half of the chipboard *Mandala Frame* embossed with *14Karats* I added a little bit of red ink on top.
Some seedlings on leaves, I choose two shades of green: Fir Tree and
Green Leaf and a bit of yellow: Mustard seedling,

*Home Is Where The Heart Is*
( Homespun)


First, I must say that I did'nt know how to work this chipboard, and THE idea has arrived.
So I cut the chipboard and I only keep the part *WHERE THE HEART IS*



I used a part of stamp Christmas Chimney on my background.


To explain the different layers, start with the photo. Under this one a first chipboard, *Frilly Bauble* embossed with a mix of two powders: Baby Pink and Bubble Gum. I cut it in half  and I put on each side of the photo. Then, on each side again, two pieces of *Rose Wreath* embossed in snow
and to finish *Belfast Bouquet* also embossed with two powders, pink rose and bubble gum.
My title is a succession of error: embossed in *Baby Pink* after with *Ebony* powder and to finish with *Bubble Gum* ... Don't know if I do it again I can have the same result LOL



I used the lace7B that I've teinted for adding texture on my background. 


I stamped a butterfly ( from Spring Accents stamp) on a paper


I love lilies flowers , this one come from *Dark Tropic Lilies*
You can see, on the next photo, under *Belfast Bouquet* a piece of  Lace6 and another piece of Lace7B.
Between the laces *Checker Bits* embosed in *Baby Pink*

*Not All Who Wander Are Lost*
(Happy Accident)


A simple layout, use only one stencil, ink and a lot of glitters.

For all my chipboards, I've colored with pencils and I added clear embossing powder.
I've mixed my glitters together and spread them with gel medium it seem like mica flakes...

I really love this stamps! Tattered Newsprint ...

Holiday Album

As this month comes to an end (how is that possible?), we bring you the final project from our November Fan of the Month, Dorota Kopec.  You're in for a real treat today!

Dorota began with a 16cm x 21cm album.  The album cover is white canvas and their are 6 pages inside.  She used paper from the Vintage Christmas I and Vintage Christmas II collections, along with lots of winter/holiday chipboard.  

Take a look at the gorgeous cover Dorita created.  The title is from the Cozy Christmas 5-piece chipboard set, and the beautiful piece going down the left side of the cover is the Snow Medley chipboard piece.  The dainty flowers used on the cover are the Christmas Blooms. 





The pages in the album are just waiting for holiday photos to be added.  The hip raindeer in the top left corner is from the 5-piece Hipster Christmas chipboard set.   




These collections are filled with sweet vintage images and small cards for all of us who love fussy-cutting.  




The next 2-page spread in Dorota's album features layers of Vintage Christmas I and II for such an elegant look.  The sweet chipboard piece on the right side is the gorgeous Holidays Bright chipboard piece.  




Don't you just love the adorable angel that adorns this page?  
It's from the Little Angels and there are 4 angels in the set.  




Loads of holiday charm can be seen on these two pages with images of candy canes, peppermints, bells, a village scene, vintage florals and mistletoe.  Everything you need for a true holiday feeling!




The chipboard pieces on these 2 pages (a section of Holidays Bright and the Winter Sleigh), along with all the chipboard in the album, have been covered with a combination of Blue Fern embossing powder and glitter, which gives it a frosty look.  



I'm not sure if Dorota is keeping this album for herself or passing it on to someone else, but it is going to be beautiful reminder of this Holiday season.

We hope you will join us in thanking Dorota for sharing her album with us, along with all her projects this month using the Vintage Christmas collections.
