Layouts by Tartine Peluche that will make you feel in the spring!

Hello my sweet friends!
Today is very sad for me, this is my last day as a designer for Blue Fern Studios.
My life turns to change and priorities too. Don't worries, I feel good, but I have to take care of myself and all my family ... It's just a goodbye, I'll be back ...
So let me share with you my last inspirations.

====================================
My first one is:

*Perfect*
( Ombré Dreams, Leslie's dream )






I used Sunlight Rose to emboss the foliage chipboard under my photo.



I made this coral flowers by hand, from *Chesterville Floral*, one as simply heated with heat gun and the others are one layer of petal folded on itself.



Morning Sun make a part of my favorite colors of embossing powder.

( Wanderlust, Road Trip )

m


This layout is the result of a big ink blunder on the first background. In seeking how to recover page, I had the idea of using the small format of the same paper as the background.
Here is the result or my error LOL

These days I have a great need for bright colors.
The blue flowers from Spring Lilies collection are so much PERFECT,
and combined with Summer Breeze embossing powder it's just WOW as effect.



I used Lace 3B to add some black under my first layer.


Butterfly is embossed with Summer Breeze.

In the Mood & Happy Accident layouts by France Ringuette

All you Need is Love - Layout #1

What can I say other than I am in LOVE with the new collection In the Mood, Artisan collection by Blue Fern Studios. The hardest challenge was choosing what paper to use for my first layout as they are all spectacular.

I chose to use Attracted in the collection pack for this beautiful wedding picture of my friend Marina and her husband David. I was inspired by the lovely floral prints and the greens that would match perfectly with the background of this beautiful picture.


First step was to add with a stencil, light molding paste, creating small hearts on my background, then I added onto the molding paste Baby Pink embossing powder and heated this up. I love adding my embossing powders on my papers.

Then I covered a clock chipboard with white gesso and heat embossed it with Pixie Dust embossing powder. I love that mix of gold and pink. It is a spectacular new color that has become a recent favorite.


The new printed chipboard title was perfect for this page, I wanted it centered under my picture. Then I built my layering of flowers, lace, stamp prints and die-cuts around it.


Did you notice the circles ? They are  from the Texture Circles stamp collection. I stamped them on white cardstock and cut them out to add as embellishments to my page.

How are you finding that beautiful lace under my title? I found it gave the layout such a classy look.

In this next picture, you can get a closer look at the new flowers and the stamped circle. Notice that small pink lace flower? It's from the lace 10 set.


In the last 2 images, a better look at the Pink Topaz seedlings:

    Sweetheart- Layout #2

    A friend of mine has the cutest little daughter and had some amazing picture taken to capture her first birthday. I just love this picture with her daughter in a tutu dress stepping on Brittany's bright red shoes. This picture was my inspiration for the layout. I wanted to play with reds and light pinks.

    My starting point was the new In the Mood collection, I chose the Mellow paper for my background. I just found that little red bird oh so cute.

    Next steps was to add some layers of paper. I played with Ecstatic and Pensive from the same collection


    Here is a closer look at the photo area. As you might have noticed, I used some of the In the Mood Printed Chipboards for decorative elements. 

    I made a die-cut out of the Ecstatic paper, love that red tone.

    The Turkish Bits chipboard is heat embossed with the Pure Red embossing powder


     I wanted to add more red to my layout so I stamped and embossed in Pure Red this beautiful Butterfly from the Butterflies stamp collection.

    Under my flowers you can see some touches of lace 4 and some Pink Topaz seedlings

    CUTE- layout #3

    For this layout, I started playing around with the cute bird on the brand chipboard. I had this beautiful daycare picture of Emma that was just perfect to build a nice soft page.


    I build this chipboard in 3 layers. First step was to emboss the branch and leaves with Green Ivory embossing powder. Second step was to add a layer of glue with a fine tip dispenser then add the Meadow and Twig seedlings. Once that was dry, I then embossed the bird with Frozen embossing powder.

    Oooh this turned out just lovely.


    Here is a closer look at the bird and leaves.


    Next step was the frame, I wanted it to melt into the background, so I chose Oatmeal as my embossing color for this one.


    Last and final step was the ornament cluster. I used a flower from heartland blossoms and dark tropic lilys collections.

    I enjoy adding pieces of lace to my projects and Lace #4 is my favorite.

    A Fairy Good Life

    The second project from our August Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Mariusz Gierszewski, is this very soft and magical layout.  Mariusz has beautifully used the frame of the paper as the base for this lovely design.  The chipboard, flowers and fussy cutting create a very eye-pleasing design for this sweet infant photo.




    Here is what Maruisz had to say about this layout:

    Another work in which I could bring you closer shabby style. I prepared at the begining chipboards by embossing powder and cut many emablishments from other papers. After that I start to build composition of fabric flowers in the corner and more or less oposite/middle side. On the top flowers I add the gesso. On the end I add few printed chipboard pieces from collection the all corners, and to decorate layout. Balance and harmony formed an integral whole.

    Fan of the Month Album and Video

    We hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.  It's week 3 with our Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Cheryl Kearns.  Today, we continue our journey through the romantic album she has created using our Spring Parade Collection, and include a video from Cheryl.

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 



    These pages are made with the “Remembrance” papers. I have a belly band running down the center of the left page, with a floral cluster and the Large Flourish chipboard. On the opposite page I made a magnetic flap with lace on the border. I have a floral cluster on top of the flap, with the Royal Border chipboard that I embossed with Cotton Candy embossing powder. 





    I used the “Sunday Best” to make pockets on both pages. I also used the Large Chipboard Flourishes to highlight my flowers.

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

    Cheryl has created a video walk-through of this amazing album, which you can see on her blog HERE.  

    Thanks so much for joining us today.  We will be back next Wednesday with one final post from Cheryl.

    Spring Garden Collection with our Fan of the Month

    Hello Blue Fern fans!  Our Blue Fern Fan of the Month is the amazing Cheryl Kearns.  We introduced her last week.  If you missed that post, you can see it HERE.  We revealed the gorgeous album Cheryl created using the Spring Parade paper collection, along with lots of other Blue Fern products.  Today, Cheryl will take us further inside the album.

    * * * * * * * * *



    I used both the “Marketplace” and “May Vignette” papers. I have pockets with lace and pearls along the top. I used the Classic Corner chipboard on the top of each page, which I embossed with Iris embossing powder. 





    Here I made diagonal pockets using the “Joyful” papers. My pages are made with the “Marketplace” papers. I used white Venice lace along the edge of each page, with mulberry roses on top. I also placed a cluster of flowers in the center of each pocket. I always make three photo mats for each page.




    Here I made pockets that mirror each other using “Susie’s Garden” papers. I have white lace with purple ribbon running down the side of each pocket, as well as a cluster of flowers and a white chiffon butterfly. I used the Rose Borders chipboard, which I embossed with Plum embossing powder. I cut it in half and place half on each page.

    * * * * * * * * *
    Cheryl will be back next Wednesday with more pages from her album, and a video!
    Have a great day, everyone.

    Meet our May Blue Fern Fan of the Month!

    Welcome to May everyone!  We hope you are enjoying all the beauty and wonder of spring.  The beginning of a new month means we have a brand new Blue Fern Fan to introduce to you.  This month we are excited to have Cheryl Kearns join us.  Cheryl creates the most amazing (really amazing!) albums using Blue Fern products.  We can't wait to show you what she has created with our Spring Parade collection.  So, let's turn things over to Cheryl.



    Hello everyone! My name is Cheryl Kearns, of Cheryl’s Paper Creations. I live in sunny Southwest Florida with my husband of thirty three years. We moved here from Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1999, and love it.

    I am a retired floral designer.  I have been paper crafting for fifteen years. I worked as a teacher/designer at my local scrapbook store until it closed several years ago. I specialize in making mini albums that showcase imported laces and flowers.  I was introduced to Blue Fern Studios papers while working on a design team.  I love the quality and beautiful designs, as they are perfect for highlighting my shabby chic style.



    For the cover I used Spring Parade’s “Sunday Best”  paper.  I placed some purple trim on top of the white lace that wraps around the album from the spine, as well as pearl trim around the border of the album. The focal point on the cover is Blue Fern’s chipboard piece “Memories”, which I embossed with their Iris embossing powder. I used both their Winter and Spring Lilies, Attic Charm Daisies, and the Organic Vine Chipboard for my floral clusters on the cover and throughout the album.



    The spine is five inches wide, and is covered with several pieces of white Venice lace and an appliqué.





    Pages 1 and 2 : Here I used Spring Parade’s “June” paper on both pages.  I also used the Mini Flourishes chipboard pieces around the floral clusters. I tend to make simple pockets on most of my pages in order to highlight the various laces and other embellishments.  Each pocket holds three 4x6 photo mats.

    * * * * * * * * * * *

    So, there is a look at the cover, spine, and the first 2 pages of Cheryl's stunning album.
    Be sure to stop by next Wednesday when we will feature more pages this album.
