Discover Dream Explore for Blue Fern Studios

Hi. Time for part two of my December Blue Fern Studios share :-)
I used the Juliannas Dream paper from the magical Ombre Dreams collection. 

Such a beautiful and feminine collection, and so versatile too! I always love the combination of yellow with purple. I can't say why I Love it so, except I find it sooo,sooo pretty!



And even here I have close ups to share:

I painted most of my chipboard pieces purple and gave them a lick of gesso on top to make them a bit more shabby.The Chained Bits look great here down the side of my photo. They are a good background for layering any kind of embellishment.

The Timeless Floral corner adds so much to a page. It's so great because you can turn it
any way you want so it will work in any corner The flowers are a combination of older/newer Prima Marketing and flowers from my stash.

I wanted a title that was not too overpowering so I went with a single chipboard word that I painted and clear embossed. The letter stickers by Prima were very glittery so I rubbed them with gesso to reduce the shiny aspect a little. I added some punched and die cut greenery as well made with the Tim Holtz  Laurel punch and the Sizzix Garden Greenery die.

And to round things off I have a couple of simple Christmas cards that I'd like to share with you.



The first one I made with one of the cards from the Christmas card sheet and added the bottom strip from a sheet down the sides. I used the Petal embossingpowder again.
The Framed Winter words are perfect for a card front.

On my second card you can see that even other non-christmassy collections can be used for seasonal cards. My background here is from the Montage collection, but the top sentiment is from the
Vintage Christmas collection of course. I added some bits from the Chain link 
chipboard panel that I painted a dark red. I used a little of the Cotton Candy Imagine Ink
on the background and  a stencil on top.

That was all from me! 

Again; Thank you so much to Leslie and Valerie for having me on the team for the last year. 

It's been a pleasure!!

In Sweden we celebrated yesterday, but I wish my foreign friends a wonderful peaceful 

Christmas Day whether you celebrate or not.

Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth!

Are you ready for some Christmas cards?

Hi there scrappy friends!!

Now the time has come to start sharing some of all those cards I have been making since the latest LOT with  gorgeouus PD X-mas papers  arrived in my mailbox! Recently I shared these cards on the Norwegian Papirdesign blog and  I thought I would post them here as well!

I love the 'traditional' feel that the seasonal products from Papirdesign have. Here I have picked colours like red and cream and mixed them

up with se trendy gold and some green.

All the tags and the birdpicture were cut from Papirdesign papers.

Those were my three cards for  today.

I hope you liked them!

Some easy christmas cards using "Papirdesign".

If you are here for the Paper Issues/Reminisce  blog hop plese scroll down one post!

Just a short one today sharing some  cards I made this week end.

The formula is simple but that is a necessity if you have many cards to make.

I followed the same steps for all the cards; 

Cut cardstock sheet in half and score through the middle.

Cut patterned paper in four and make the squares slightly smaller than the front of your card. 

If you like you can ink around the edges. I framed a vintage image with some pp and also added 

some strips of patterned paper and lace. Not much more needed in way of embellishments. 

I added a few clustered flowers and a "Merry Christmas" sentiment printed on chipboard.

All the supplies here are from Papirdesign.

Thanks for dropping by!!
