Remnants and Apricot and Blooms Inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Good Morning all Blue Fern Studios fans!

I'm thrilled to present my first layouts as a member of this beautiful team.

First, let me introduce myself.

I'm Jennifer, Pinkypie on social medias.
 I live in Quebec, Canada with my two beautiful girls of 17 and 10 years old, who are my main inspiration, and with the love of my life, Mike,  and his son.

I've been obsessed with scrapbooking since, at least, 12 years now.  
My scrapbooking style  is all about softness, clustering and romance.  

Since I have used chipboards on my layouts, i've had a crush on Blue Fern Studios products.
That's why I'm here loll!
A dream come true !

Hope to inspire you all year long here on the  Blue Fern Studios blog!

===================================

And now, here are my three inspiration layouts for January.

Let's start with the first one.
  I used the beautiful new REMANTS collection products.


I first primed my background with clear gesso.  The background paper here is Remnants "Bloomsbury".  Also used "Mini-Remnants" paper in layers under my picture.

Then, I stamped here and there with brown ink and the Remnants Collage stamp 
on the backgroud paper.

See that beautiful pale pink Remnants blooms 😍😍


In order to place my chipboard title around my picture, I chose to cut it in two sections.  
I have embossed them with the Ivory embossing powder.  
I also placed under my picture some pieces of the 
Quatrefoil panel on which I used some red metallic paint.


Here, I printed the "Beautiful" word in the Distressed stamps set on some shrink plastic.  
Thanks to Tartine Peluche who remind me of this oldie stuff in my stash 😉  
It really makes a great effect, no?
It is placed on the white  Spring florals flower...

You can see on the next picture that I have used several colors of embossing powders on my chipboards in this  layout!  
I really fell in love with the green ones for the leaves.
Here is Avocado embossing powder on the Rose leaves chipboard and 
Forest embossing powder on the Thistle Spray chipboard.


Can you see the subtle tint of Green Ivory embossing powder on the 
Bohemian flower chipboard piece here, on the lace?  So soft ...


Finally, I have used some printed Remnants chipboards,some Burgundy seedlings and some other flowers from my stash to finish this layout.



Hope you like this one 🙈

Now, my second Remnants collection layout.


My background here is the beautiful "Callaway" paper.  
Also primed it with clear gesso.  
Under my picture, "Chancery lane" and b-side of "Mayfair" paper.


Next, to make my focal point, I placed my pic on some parts of Quilted page panel chipboard.


 I've used Black Sand embossing powder on this one and really like the 2 tones effect with beautiful "sandy" texture.  You can see on this next picture that I have paint in black a butterfly that I have cut from some Flutter page dangles chipboard piece, also add some mists. 
 After that, I embossed it with Ebony embossing powder and the Penned Flourishes stamp.  
See the Remnants blooms that I have sprayed also to coordinate  the colors of my layout.


The Arrow word " Sweet" with  Ebony embossing powder as the title: simple as that 😏
Can also see the heartbreaking white Remnants florals.  Love those ones...
Some printed Remnants chipie and Garden Blooms too.


As embellishments, I used here and there some vellum circles on witch I embossed the
Texture circles stamps with the Ebony powder.




Here, I just left the Branch set chipboard pieces natural cause it matched my layout that way loll.
Some Tickled and Purple haze seedlings and white drops as final touches.

For my last layout this month, I chose the Amber and Abricot collection 
which was one of my favorite last year.


Here, I used two papers as the background: "Birdsong" and a piece of the b-side "Yesterday" paper that I've placed in the middle of the first one.  
Primed them with clear gesso, then add some texture with modeling paste through a stencil.
  Finally, I've done some watercoloring with yellow mists and the background was done.


I've just used the Amber and Abricot printed chipboards here.  
Some chipie under my picture and two borders below.




Here is a chipboard from Serendpity words1 as the title.  
Embossed it with the Hot cocoa embossing powder.
Another "glittery" color that I've fallen in love with 😍

Some random stamping with brown ink and the Honey bits stamp.



You can see above some beautiful flowers from 
Fresh floral (ivory) and Apricot blooms (white) kits.
Below, Homespun blooms (brown) and white Apricot blooms again.

 

After that, I've made my usual final touches, some white drops and add a mix of 
Paprika and Twig seedlings.

December inspiration by Pascale B.

Hello Sweeties,

Today it's this time of the year where you have to give your farewell. I was really honored when Leslie and Valerie asked me again to be part of the Blue Fern Studios adventure. But today will be my last post here. So thank you, Leslie and Valerie.
But I have three last projects to share with you. I chose a photo of my maternal grandmother. The photo is blurry, but I like it. I chose to work with the Chesterville collection.


As always, I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I made my own paste with a 3D gloss gel and two inks to obtain the right color. I used this paste with a stencil to add a design. 


Next, I embossed Krystal's Frame with the Amethyst powder. I just inked the Chelsea Vine.


I colored the Rose Leaves with a mica powder and added two embossing powders to add some texture.


The background dry, I added some colors with different inks.


I cut a few papers to add under the photo and glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.


To finish the layout, I added some glitters and glass seedlings.

Here is my second monthly project for Blue Fern Studios. As Christmas is coming fast I was thinking about decoration. So I decided to make a table center with the beautiful Vintage Christmas collections. Nothing really complicated, but something simple and elegant, I hope you will agree.


You will need one band of cardstock 12" x 6" and one square 6" x 6". Fold the band in two, open, and fold again the top corners to the middle in order to form a triangle. Fold the square in a triangle too. You can glue the square as the model.


Next, you can glue the papers. With a crop-a-dile, I made some holes: if you want to put a  small light under the table center, the light will be visible.


I embossed the chipboards with different gold powders.



I die cut some leaves in a watercolor paper and inked them. I embossed the mistletoes with the Icicle powder.


To create the berry, I added hot glue and I dipped it immediately in the glitter.

And here is my third and last project. I chose to make a mini album with both Vintage Christmas collections.


First I made the box with cardboard. I painted all the edges with a gold acrylic paint before covering both sides of the box with papers.




... I just add a few pockets with tags,...



The inside is an accordion. As there is no space to add any embellishments,...





... as well as folders.
