A Studio J Experience

I was given a Studio J assignment for Convention.  With each assignment, we are shown new techniques that you can achieve using Studio J...

(Click on any layout to enlarge for more detail)

This layout uses the Lucy kit, and the Stars Above pattern.

I learned how to:

• Delete unneeded photo wells
• Use text boxes to cover up portions of the pattern
• Crop My Stickease to make ribbon streamers

This layout uses the Mischief kit, and the Dynamic Duo pattern.

I learned how to:

• Alter the look by changing the colors of the B&T papers
• Rotate a page
• Use a vellum text box to lighten a color
• Convert a photo well to a text box
• Create my own embellishments

This layout uses the Lucky kit, and the Portrait Collection pattern.  

I learned how to:

• Add a photo mat behind my photo using a journaling box
• Use letters as embellishments
• Create a title using several journaling boxes
• Use a My Stickease image to make a border

This layout uses the Magic Moments kit, and the Powerful Trio pattern.  

I learned how to:

• Use a My Stickease image to make a border
• Create a layered ribbon bow
• Create striped ribbon using a text box

Studio J is the perfect way to scrapbook without making a mess, or needing any of the supplies...just a computer and your pictures!  Just download your pictures that you plan to use in your project (whether your project is just a 2-page layout or a whole album!).  Next, pick the kit (paper packet) you want to use, then pick your design layout (pattern).  Simple as 1, 2, 3... give it a try!

Project Inspiration - Coloring Seam Binding Ribbon

This seems to be a technique I've been sharing lots lately!  This product, the Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon is just the ticket you need to add stunning color to your layouts or cards.  Check out this quick video:



Here's another option for you - using our Spray Pens, fill the spray pen to the 6th line (about 1/3 full) with Isopropyl (rubbing) Alcohol and a few drops of reinker (I used 10-12 drops) to the intensity you're looking for on your project.  Allow the ribbon to air dry, and because you used alcohol vs. water, the ribbon doesn't seem to bleed through onto your project.  Use caution when placing dyed ribbon next to photos, this technique may not be photo safe.
