Noodling with My Digital Studio

Hi Stampers:

Well, I continue to play with My Digital Studio. Today I made this little card without knowing what I will do with it in the future, but I love having a stash of cards on hand for all occasions, so I guess this one will go in the stash.

I used my favorite colors: Pretty in Pink, Perfect Plum, So Saffron, and Pear Pizzazz. I love using the punches to get the card elements! In this case, I used the 1-1/4" square punch and changed it into a rectangle. I also used the large flower punch, but didn't resize it. I filled it with Pretty in Pink Designer Series Paper background blooms. I also used the curly label punch shape and elongated it to fit the sentiment from the Best Wishes and More stamp brush set. I added one of the corduroy buttons and two staples.
Enjoy!

I Just HAD to do it!

Hi Stampers!

What did I just HAVE to do? Why order some new downloads for My Digital Studio. I ordered the Nite Owl DSP images, so I made a new Halloween Card in MDS:
The colors I used for this in addition to the Nite Owl DSP layer are Concord Crush, Pumpkin Pie, and Basic Black for the stamp images, which come from the Eat, Drink, and Be Scary stamp brush set.
Enjoy!

More Notebooks for Vendor Fair

Hi Stampers:

Well, I am back to working on my items for the Oct. 30, Trick or Treat BOO-tique at Brookwood Retirement on Reed Hartman Hwy, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Here are two more I have finished:

I know, I KNOW that the one on the right is made from discontinued DSP, but I have several sheets left, so I decided to use them for some of my items. I made a few of these for another vendor show that I was in on Sept. 18, and they sold like hotcakes, so I have hopes these will sell too. Wish me luck, and if you are in the Cincinnati area, please come. Proceeds will benefit the SPCA in Cincinnati. We will have a split the pot, too, so you could leave with more money than you came with. Since it is indoors, kids will have a safe and weather-proof place to Trick or Treat early.


Enjoy!

I have been on a My Digital Studio Kick!

Hi Stampers!

I have been working with My Digital Studio a LOT lately, but the card I am showing you today is one that I created when My Digital Studio first came out. Stampin' Up! offered a program to Demonstrators to become certified in My Digital Studio. I took the course and am certified. What that means is that I can teach you everything you would like to know about MDS and how to use it. One of the requirements for certification was to create a card and have it printed. This is the card I created:

When I received the printed cards, they were absolutely gorgeous! The Stampin' Up! printing partner prints true to Stampin' Up!'s exclusive colors.

If you would like to know more about My Digital Studio, or would like to learn how to use it, please contact me!

Enjoy!

Another My Digital Studio Card

Hi Stampers!

I love playing with My Digital Studio. This is a card that is one of the template cards in MDS. It would be easy to change elements to make it a different card, or put some real buttons or punched out items on it after printing it.

Enjoy!

It's Sketch Frenzy Friday!

Hi Stampers:



Today we have a sketch by Brenda:


I chose to follow the layout closely, and created this card in MDS:

I used Crumb Cake, Peach Parfait, Certainly Celery and Chocolate Chip for my colors. The faux ribbon across the card is Chocolate Chip stitching--one of the embellishments in MDS. In addition, I created my own sentiment and typed it on the card.

MDS Designer Card

Hi Stampers!

Here is a quick--and I mean REALLY quick card. This card is one of the designer card options in My Digital Studio.



To post this card, all I did was choose it in MDS and save it as is. It literally took me about 3 minutes! If you don't already have My Digital Studio, well, what are you waiting for? If you can choose a card and print it this fast, it certainly makes choosing a card faster than driving to a store! And you can always make it a hybrid card by adding elements after printing like buttons, ribbon, and brads.

Enjoy!
