Time to say good bye.

Hi there friends.

Today is my last post on the Blue Fern Studios blog, It's been fun but of course everything has an end. I have enjoyed every minute of working with their gorgeous products. You will definitely see more of Blue Fern Studios around here in the fiture as well.

Today I want to share my first page using one of the pretty new papers from the  Vintage Christmas collection.

I also have some close ups of the details:

I used the Petal embossing enamel to treat my chipboards. That gorgeous round piece is called Twilight Garden Frame. I gave the Shabby snowflake (part of a set) the same treatment. 

I love the look of those tiny half pearls that I added to it!

On my background I used the Winter Mint and Cotton Candy Imagine Ink mists. I also used gesso and microbeads as well as a few paints.

For a title I used one of the designs on the Christmas cards sheet together with the word Christmas from one of the bottom strips.

I love the look of the strict stripes with the soft colourful blooms. 

These adorable pink larger blooms are the from the Bel Canto colletion by Prima Marketing.

They are surely one of my all time favourites!!

Thanks for dropping by! I'll have a couple of free days around Christmas so hopefully I will be back again with not too much of a delay this time :-) 

But just in case I don't see you again before X-mas I wish for you:

'Sparkle' for Blue Fern Studios, using 'Vintage Christmas'.

Hi, today we received the first taste of snow for this Winter. 

Large, fluffy white beautiful flakes fell from the skies only to turn into a less attractive wet, slightly grey mush on reaching the ground. Living in this part of Sweden we are pretty used to that. Yesterday the neighbouring villages (maybe an hour from here) got something like 8-10 inches of snow but we only got rain. I guess it's because we are right on the coast and at the very southern tip of the country. But no doubt we shall have some more snow to enjoy (and not just to look at) as the year advances and we get into Christmas mode. I'm looking forward to that!! :-)

My page today is one that I made for Blue Fern Studios using the latest lovely collection called Vintage Christmas. So many gorgeous colours and designs in that paper range. Unfortunately the pictures are not as good as I would have liked, because of the darker days here at th moment.

I used the Petal embossin-powder on the Holiday vine and the title-word 'Sparkle'. It has a soft pink tint to it that is really attractive. I cut the vine in two to elongate it to fit my page. A little bit of 'cheating' can be hidden with a few flowers :-)

As you can see I used a fair amount of the Pyrite glitter on my page as well. So much in fact that half the living-room is shiny and there is glitter in the cats fur to my daughters delight. I feel I shall have to be slightly more careful next time,.... Woops!....

I used the Winter Mint spray to colour my background and stamped a few small snowflakes here and there.

In the recent box that I got from the super generous people at Sizzix UK there was a new paper punch size large  by Tim Holtz called Laurel. I used it to punch out the small twigs/branches acattered here and there in my clusters. Pretty cute if you ask me!

From Sizzix I also got the set to make the gorgeous Poinsettas you see here. The set is the Winter Wishes Collection and even includes a small gift box (pillow-box style) and is really great value for money! Check it out HERE

That was all from me today

Thanks for looking and have a great week!

Vintage Christmas and other news from Blue Fern Studios.

It's never too early for a great Holiday collection, right? :-)
Blue Fern Studios have come up with the perfect collection to get you in the holiday mood.

 I will share the latest images of the Vintage Christmas as well as some more 
awesome news from them.

If you plan to make cards, tags, or gifts for your family and friends, this beautiful collection will 
definitely get you started.  -And don't forget those projects for your home,.... or how about 
displaying a few layouts with photos of Christmas past?  
The Blue Fern Vintage Christmas collection is just what you need.  

Here are some more close ups of this elegant paper collection; featuring shades of 

blue, green, red, pink, and neutral tones, all with a true vintage look. 

Those 'calling cards' are just perfect for all those fun to make Christmascards 

to be started on sooner than you think! :-)

We are also excited to introduce a brand new line of products called Imagine Ink.  These products were created to coordinate with the Vintage Christmas line.  No more searching for just the right color of mist, embossing powder, or glitter.  We have done all the work for you!

Our three new mists are Cotton Candy, Jingle Bells, and Winter Mint and they are sure to add just the right amount of luster and interest to your projects.

And they have added glitter!  

These three colors, Phoenix, Caribbean, and Pyrite will bring just the right amount of sparkle!

Now,...wouldn't it be wonderful to have some coordinating Embossing Powder?  
We have taken care of that, too.  What an awesome way to enhance our chipboard designs!  

Once again, we have taken the guess-work out of it by selecting four colors that will coordinate with the Vintage Christmas collection - Lucky, Poinsettia, Petal, and Fern. 

Thanks for looking in to see some of the new products coming soon from Blue Fern Studios.

Have a lovely week end all of you!!

A Christmas collection from Blue Fern Studios.

I just had to pop in with a late post to share this upcoming gorgeous collection from Blue Fern Studios. YES!  There will be a Christmas colection and a beautiful one at that!!

Just yesterday I was wondering to myself if there would be a holiday line or not, and I got my answer even before I could ask the question!!

Here is a preview:

The collection is by Michelle Singh and it's called Vintage Christmas.

It will contain six double sided papers as well as coordinating chipboard, stamps and also three new colours of mist. I can't wait!!
