3 Chrstmas layouts with Yuko

Have you all had a wonderful Christmas?

I spent my time at home with my family.

Today I would like to introduce three Christmas layouts!

【joy】

I love paper of this red stripe!

However, anything becomes much the same when based on this.

So I made half daringly this time and used it.

Corner chip board was processed with ANTIQUEGOLD embossed powder.

The letter of the title posted red glitter FIRE ENGINE.

A layout of Christmas may become a lot gorgeous.

I also pressed the clear stamp.

Paper   Vintage Christmas 2 - Holiday Treats/Holiday Cards/Let it Snow

Vintage Christmas - Greeting Cards

Chipboard  Dangled Flake/Chunky Words/Formal Corners

Glitter  FIRE ENGINE

Embossing Powder　ANTIQUEGOLD

Flower 　Christmas Blooms

Stamp　 Christmas Collage

【wish】

Very pale light blue color friendly atmosphere paper.

But since the ornament of the colorful tree was reflected in the photograph

I dared to make a monochrome photograph.

This neighborhood attached various textures.

The light blue lame is very beautiful with light blue and silver mixed!

I applied a brick texture with Modape.

I was able to meet before drying so that 

the surface can be traced like a toothbrush 

so that irregularities can be made.

Because I wanted the snow here to feel a bit frozen

I used GLOSS GEL and dyr glitter.

I also used a stamp here.

It will be tightened if a little black comes in.

Paper  Vintage Christmas - Auld Lang Syne/ Wonderland

Chipboard  Winter Cabin/Wish, Wonder, Dream

【Cool Christmas】

The end is a little classical feeling.

The picture is Christmas 

in Harry Potter area of Universal Studios Japan!

I went to the other day, 

but it is different from colorful tree etc. in USJ

Very chic and cool image tree and cityscape.

So I tried making it a little cool.

I'm really happy to use this picture !

I also did this coloring method in my class

It is a process to make two color embossed powder overlap.

This method is favorite because it can be used anything at all .

The fluffy snow is piled up!

I also made snow on the flowers.

Blue Fern Studios' DT that I had for three years

is also the last in this month.

At first there is only a chip board,

Although shops handled in Japan 

were also few manufacturers

It has become a very famous manufacturer

 in the past few years since paper has been released!

I was really happy to be involved with Blue Fern Studios ❤

I never thought I could do it for three years

I was really happy!

I also appreciate Valerie who always reply me gently

 in my poor English! 

DT is over, but  I love Blue Fern Studios ❤

I'm going to use a lot to continue making works!

Thank you very much!

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

Maja Is All About Christmas

Good morning, Blue Fern Studios friends, welcome to the blog today!

Christmas is just a week ahead and Blue Fern Studios has two fabulous Christmas collections, so my today's post is filled with Christmas-themed projects :-)
Let's begin with a Vintage Christmas 2 layout:

I just love the colour combo of this latest collection! Coral pink and mint perfectly match the traditional red, white and green in a fresh,cheerful palette. And plaid is one of my all-time favourite patterns, so I built my composition on the "back" side of the Jolly paper. I added strips of papers on the upper edge of the page and the title word directly on the photo:

I used journaling cards to mat my photo, and then added Christmas Toys and Winter Page Dangles chipboard pieces. I embossed the bauble with Icicle and the heart dangle with Pretty in Pink and Golden Bricks eps.

Here's a little trick: if you heat up the Sea Mist powder a little longer, the colour gets pushed off the edges and a white core begins to show - and you get a nice double tone effect on your piece :-) That's what I did with the Holiday Vine piece, and then added a couple of crystals for some bling. I also used epoxy crystal stickers to make some custom buttons using images from the Tree Trimmings:

I only needed to add the flower cluster with Christmas Blooms and jingle bells :-)

Joy:
Papers: Vintage Christmas 2: Jolly, Tree Trimmings, Twas the Night, Holiday Cards
Chipboard: Holiday Vine, Tree Toys, Winter Page Dangles, Chunky Words
Flowers: Christmas Blooms
EP: Sea Mist, Icicle, In the Pink, Golden Bricks

BFS papers are great for cardmaking too! And here are Christmas cards I made using the Vintage Christmas 2 papers:

Each card features a chipboard piece. Here are the baubles from the Tree Toys set, embossed with 14 Karat ep and matted with mint paper pieces:

In this card I used the Dangled Flake as a frame for the stamped sentiment. The chipboard piece is embossed with Icicle and decorated with small flowers:

And this card presents the gorgeous Frosty Flake piece that I embossed with my custom-made mint tinsel (Icicle, Snow and Sea Mist mixture):

Christmas Cards:
Papers: Vintage Christmas 2: Jolly, Holiday Treats, Holiday Cards, Let It Snow, Twas the Night
Chipboard: Dangled Flake, Tree Toys, Frosty Flake
Flowers: Christmas Blooms
EP: 14 Karat, Icicle, Icicle+Snow+Sea Mist

And finally the layout for which I returned to the original Vintage Christmas collection:

I knew I would want to use the Magical sheet for the layout background the moment I opened the DT box :-)) It's so easy to build up a design with it, I didn't even feel the need to use other papers, just matted the photos with two sides of the Deck the Halls sheet.

For the title I used the Holly Jolly Christmas piece painted with white gesso:

I used two Winter Page Dangles to create a vertical divider on the page. I embossed the star with Ginger and the snowflake with Frozen eps. Then I added some Christmas Blooms, die cut snowflakes and crystal twogs to decorate the photos:

It's a Holly Jolly Christmas:
Papers: Vintage Christmas: Magical, Deck the Halls
Chipboard: Holly Jolly Christmas, Winter Page Dangles
Flowers: Christmas Blooms
EP: Frozen, Ginger

And now it's time to say good bye, as my term on the Blue Fern Studios DT comes to an end. It's been an honour and privilege to work with these great products and share my projects here with you. Thank you, BFS, for this opportunity, and thank you, dear blog visitors, for your visits and comments. See you around!
