hi! i’m jean

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!

things i love

When I’m not making cards or blogging about making cards, my passions include anything geeky (I’m definitely a gadget junkie), reading (anything to do with vampires, werewolves, or witches and I’m all-in), travel (the farther away the better), my puppy (Riley, who brings me joy every day just by being her own cute and somewhat sassy self), and spending time with my husband (who makes me laugh every day, is the best sounding board, and supports me in everything I do – even if it is a bit crazy).

about studio jd

Everything you see on this blog is created by me in my home “studio” (thus, the name “Studio JD”). Every card is unique and made for the sole purpose of bringing joy to me (in the creating of it) and to you (in the receipt of it or the inspiration it brings).

I do not work for any of the companies whose supplies I use in my creations; however, I am on a few Design Teams.

I do participate in a number of affiliate programs. This means that I’ll receive a small commission if you purchase through my links. Using my links does NOT cost you anything. I use all commissions gained from the links to pay for the expenses of maintaining this blog and the expenses associated with making cards, teaching, and sharing what I create. I appreciate any support you provide! Please read my full disclaimer for more information.

The majority of the supplies used to make my cards and other projects are purchased by me; however, I am on a few design teams and may receive products from companies for free, with the hopes that they inspire me to create something. Regardless of how I acquire the products, I do not share or recommend products that I would not use or buy myself.

This blog will contain information about various techniques and products that I love. All opinions shared on this blog are my own.
