Convention Studio J Layout #1

Over the next couple of weeks I am going to be sharing the Studio J layouts we got to make for Convention.  This layout is of Sophia and it uses the Lucy paper.

3x3 Stella Cards

I made these 3x3 cards with the paper pack Stella.  I used the A sized stamp set A Garden on both of them and the A sized alphabet for the word Love.  The 3x3 cards are a great sized card to make to slip into gifts and they coordinate perfectly with the A sized stamp sets.

A Blossom Card

A while back I showed some cards I had made with size A stamp sets, well I found a couple more that I had made but I hadn't posted them.  This card I used the stamp set A Blossom and paired it with the paper pack Footloose.  The two pieces of the flower where cut out using the Close to My Heart Cricut cartridge with make the card very easy to put together.

Victory Swap

As you know each month I participate in a swap with members of our Close to My Heart unit.  It is a great way to get ideas and it also helps me to actually have to make something each month.  I try and do something a little bit different with the papers and this month I loved my results.  We used the paper pack Victory for this months swap and is the most masculine pack that we have in this idea book.  For an example I made this card with the paper pack.

I wanted to use it in a girlie way so I stamped a flower, used the blending pen with honey ink and added bronze glitz gel to the center.

Father's Day Gifts

I have been blessed to have such a wonderful father and that my husband is such a great father as well, they are also two of the most difficult men to purchase gifts for.  So for Father's Day I decided to make them something instead.  I was inspired by a pin on Pintrest that had a map Mod Podged onto a wooden letter.  

For my husband's letter I choose to use a piece of scrapbook paper from the current paper pack Cruisin', I painted the chipboard M black and edged it with black ink.

For my father's letter I used a piece of paper from the retired paper pack Passages, I painted the chipboard letter brown and edged it with cocoa ink.
