5 Reasons you need My Digital Studio

Hi Stampin' Friends!

Before I go into the five reasons you need My Digital studio, I wanted to show you a scrapbook page I made using MDS2.

Rachel was trying to teach Poppa how to play minecraft but it "ain't gonna" happen.  To many short cuts and commands to memorize.

5 Reasons you need My Digital Studio

1. From 19 Nov thru 28 Nov 2012,  50% off the downloadable MDS 2 through November 29! 

2. Do you have kids?  Then you want to know about two of our new holiday downloads designed just for kids-the Waiting for Santa Ensemble and the Hanukkah Happiness Ensemble.

3. See how awesome your Christmas cards can be this year.

4. If you have a Stampin' Up! party planned this week, everyone can go all out with their digital orders because they can be included on workshop orders now!

5. If you prefer the disc copy in lieu of the download.  The MDS2 disc copy will be available on November 29! We still recommend the downloadable version (you never lose it because it's always in your Download Manager) but if discs are your style, then it's all good!

Hi Stampin' Friends

Black Friday/Cyber Money Special

Online Extravaganza

FREE Amazing Fun Card Kit Tutorial

This time of year, we take a moment to be thankful for so many things.  I am so grateful for  my husband, my beautiful daughters and their husbands, my grandchildren, family and friends, new and old.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.  I love the beauty of the season, including how the leaves change to such radiant colors.  I love the rich comfort foods that my husband makes.  My husband will be making Thanksgiving this year and for this I am so grateful because I hate to cook!

In the end, I know there will always be things that we could complain about.  Such is life, but I am so grateful for a holiday that reminds us that despite the things we may be concerned with, we truly have a lot to be thankful for.

WHOOHOO - I just received my Sizzix Texture Boutique Embossing Machine!  I know what I will be playing with tomorrow!  Another reason to be thankful - I love my UPS guy!

Have a great day and don't eat too much turkey!

Thanks for stopping by today

Online Extravaganza and a snowman

Hi Stampin' Friends

What would I do without my Big Shot!  I use it on all my cards and 3D projects.   At $99.95, this machine is a great investment because of its versatility and portability.  But for a twenty-four period (19 November 2012), Stampin' Up! is selling this great machine for  only $79.96

Pines & Poinsettias

Hi Stampers

Only two days left to visit Stampin' Up!'s  limited-time discounts on our stamps, cards and décor during Online Extravaganza. Ends 11/30, don't miss it!  Click here for all the info.

In making yesterday's card (see card here), I discovered that the Oval Original Die is a perfect complement to the oval in the Designers Frames Embossing Folder.  The small oval nestles perfectly in the oval from the embossing folder.  I was able to use all three ovals from the Oval Original Die: (1) Very Vanilla Card Stock for the small die, Cherry Cobbler for the medium die and Chocolate Chip for the large die. 

I colored in the pinecones image, from the Pines & Poinsettias Clear Mount Stamp Set, with Stampin' Write Markers and stamped it on the smallest die cut (Very Vanilla).  It was then spritzer with the Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker and Color Spritzer Tool.

Next I ran the Cherry Cobbler die cut (medium oval) through the Big Shot using the Designer Frames Embossing Folder.

It fits perfectly in the frame though you may want to hold it in place with Dotto repositional adhesive.

The Chocolate Chip Oval Die Cut was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder and then stressed with the Cutter Kit.

And I almost forgot!  The sentiment is from the Christmas Lodge Stamp Brush Set.  I reduced it in size so that it fit the Modern Label Punch.

Dear Santa

Hi Stampers

I want to thank all of you that have taken advantage of my Black Friday/Cyber Monday special.  Thank for being such loyal customers.  The special will continue until Monday, 28 November 2011 11:59pm.  Click here if you want all the information on both my special and Stampin' Up!'s Online Extravaganza!

I was inspired by a couple of cards I saw  somwhere on the bloggersphere but I don't remember where I saw them.  I do know that it was about two months ago.

I used the Established Elegance Brush Stamp Set (again!) for the old typewriter.  The pattern paper is from the First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper.   I love using this paper for the vintage look.

I used the My Digital Studio to make the typewriter and the sentiment and then layered onto card stock and added a couple of embellishments.  So I guess this is considered a hybrid card.

Did you know that the My Digital Studio Express is part of the Stampin' Up! Online Extravaganza?  You pay the low price of $39.95 and get $40 worth of FREE digital images?  How cool is that?  I use the My Digital Studio all the time and absolutely love it!

Establish Elegance in Elegant Eggplant

Hi Stampers

Now that is a mouthful! Established Elegance in Elegant Eggplant!

I've discovered how much I love the Established Elegance Stamp Brush Set!  I love the vintage feel of it and wanted to make another card like the one here.

This time I used Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive and Early Espresso.

 The image was printed out in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla Card Stock with the dressmaker form faded to 50% so that the sentiment would stand out.  The flowers were also printed in Early Espresso, colored in using the Elegant Eggplant and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers.  They were then cut out using Paper Snips.

The background was spritzed using the Elegant Eggplant Stampin' Write Marker and Color Spritzer Tool.

Don't forget about the special going on right now through Stampin' Up! and through me!  Click here if you want all the details.
