ScrapBerry's - Fun & Sun Adventure

Hello Paper and ScrapBerry's friends!

During May and June we're celebrating all things Family and Kids at ScrapBerry's. Our challenge is also running this theme and the Zoe & Ziggy’s - Sailing Adventures collection is just perfect for fun kids projects.

I started with a reverse frame, distressed the edges a little with a hammer, then painted it with a base yellow color. Dry brushed with some blue and used the Butterfly set of stamps for some details on the frame. 

I used one of the sheets from the Zoe & Ziggy’s - Sailing Adventures 6x6 collection as a background. I fuzzy cut pieces from the Deep Sea Treasures and Anchors Away sheets to create a fun scene with lots of a layers.

On the edge of the frame I added Cherry Blossoms, Seaside

Metal Charms and some other fuzzy cut details to finish of the project.

Thank you so much for taking a look!

ScrapBerry's - Time Fies!

Hello Paper and ScrapBerry's friends!

Sharing with you a masculine card I made with the beautiful Words Live Forever collection. 

The card would work great for Father's Day, Birthday or any occasion you like.

I started out with a couple of layers on the card with Tonight on Broadway and Memos. I got out one of my dies and used it with the 7th Street Library paper to cut out a frame. I used plain white card stock with a doily die. Fuzzy cut some pieces from the Postcards for Pennies sheet. Together with the gear chipboard piece I have all my layers sorted. Time to put it all together.

Stacking all the layers on top of each other makes the card come together nicely. Under the clock face I placed the ScrapBerry's - Wings. Although they're silver, I coated them to give it a  rustic look making it fit the theme of the card. 

I hope you like the card! 

Thank you for looking!

ScrapBerry's - Happy Times!

Hello Paper and ScrapBerry's Friends!

It's May and at ScrapBerry's we're having a new Challenge, it's a about Family for the next 2 months. 

Since we're celebrating family, I've decided to do a layout with a couple of pictures with my kids and their cousins. Boy, I remember this photo-shoot and having 4 little kids between one and four. It's quite hard to keep that in control, but so much fun. The end result was so great. 

The collection I've used is Words Live Forever.

For the background I've used a plain sheet of paper. I chose a doily stencil and paste to create some texture. After it dried I got out some of my mists and with the 3 chosen colors I created a colorful back splash.

I used one of the panels from the Archive & Abacus Sheet and started building my layout on there. Using lots of the fuzzy cuts form the Tonight on Broadway and Postcards for Pennies papers.

This collection gives a nice and classic feel to any layout you like to create. Perfect, seeing this particular photo-shoot was more then 20 years ago. How time flies.

All I added to all my layers was a ScrapBerry's - Metal Clock, a Chipboard piece and some die-cuts. Some final ink splatters and the layout is finished. 

I hope you like it. 

Thank you for having a look!

Have a great day!

ScrapBerry's - Remember to have Fun!

Hello ScrapBerry's and Paper friends!

I'm so happy to share with you today a new layout using a combination of collections. The Words live Forever and Antique Shop collections. 

I decided to go for a mainly red color scheme sorting my papers. Cutting several sheets to create the layers behind my picture.

For the background I used the ScrapBerry's Butterflies 3 stamp and a stencil with paste. When this was dry I misted and splattered inks to create some extra interest. Time to assemble my page. Under the picture layers I placed some chipboard. 

Got an assortment of flowers together. The Scrapberry's Gardenia flowers are perfect to adapt to any project you're working on by adding some mist in the center of the flower. A little Metal Charm - Bird on the Branch for that extra touch. Some final splatters and the project is all done.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

March projects for Lydia Guijt

Hello Blue Fern Studios friends! 

Lydia Guijt here again with some new creations for March.

My first layout will be accompanied with a tutorial. You'll find that below.

For my second feature I've made something completely different. I hope you'll like it.

Memories

The new Spring Parade Collection has a beautiful color combination. For this layout I chose the Susie's Garden sheet.

 For my background I started off using the Tattered Harlequin stamp for embossing and the Tattered News Print stamp for inking. After this I used a stencil and paste. After the background work is done I prepared the chipboard pieces. 

Crossing the Lines with Speckled Mint and some Peacock Feathers. Wild Field Stem with Lavender Eggs on the flower part and Verdant with some sprinkling of Antique Gold. The same process for the Leafy Twigs. The title Memories - Chunky Words Halftone was done in Pink Dust. Once that was all done it was time to assemble the layout. I used the new Spring Peonies and Late Winter Lilies in my flower cluster. To finish off the page I added some further touches. 

Below you'll find the video with the whole process of making this layout. 

Enjoy!

Follow your Heart

For my second project I wanted to do something different. 

Our Blue Fern Studios Chipboard is so nice and sturdy, it's perfect to use for Mixed Media projects.

I got a double sided canvas and tore out the center to open it up. I used pastes and stencils to created textures on the outside and center part. Once it was all dry I started with the Shabby Bits Bricks Chipboard pieces as the bast to build the center part on.

Using other materials like cardboard and metal embellishments stacking and tucking in and under to create interest and textures. On one of the top layers a couple of Leafy Page Accents. Around the edges I used the Note book Edges and having the Layering Stems fall over the edges.

With all the items in place and stuck down it was time to paint everything with black gesso. Once that was all dry it's time paint on all the the accents. The Follow your Heart title was first embossed and further highlighted with some acrylics and pastes.

Spring Greetings

For the last project this month I decided to make a set of cards using the new Spring Parade collection.

I started of with cutting different sizes of paper and played around with them creating a layered look. Once it was right I started filling it in with some doilies and some lace. For the Easter card I used one of the Easter Egg Ornaments and embossed it with Lavender Egg. Giving it some extra glitter with Peacock Feathers. The Spring card has a Spring Trinkets chipboard piece and is treated the same way. 

To finish off the cards I used Later Winter Lilies and Soft Blossoms and some other decorations. The final touches were some mist splatters and we're all done with our card set.
