Summer Splendor

My Digital Studio isn't just for scrapbooking! Patty Bennett posted some lovely cards made with the new Summer Splendor designer series paper download in MDS and I just had to make some!

I added the paper as a page layer and cropped it to fit inside a card. I printed it on my home computer on Whisper White card stock, cut it to size and mounted it on coordinating card stock. Add a greeting and voila! For these cards, I used the Sincere Salutations stamp set (115068).

I was just introduced to a cool website that can allow me to show you how to use your My Digital Studio software from the comfort of your home! All you need is a phone (so we can talk) and an internet connection (so I can show you what to do)! To set up your time, please contact me today!
 
 

It's National Scrapbooking Month!

I challenge you to complete a page a day! I'm going to do just that, either digitally or traditional pages! Here is my page for the day!

One thing I love about My Digital Studio is the versatility I have to manipulate "stamp" images. You can see the faint "Medallion" stamp in the background that was enlarged to fit my page. I am offering private sessions (by appointment only) for My Digital Studio through June 30th. Contact me at nickole@stampingonthebayou.com to schedule your appointment.

 
In celebration of National Scrapbooking Month, Stampin' Up! is offering FREE DESIGNER BRADS (Flower, Filigree, Circle, & Star) when you purchase a qualifying stamp set or My Digital Studio May 1 - 31, 2010.

My Digital Studio & Mardi Gras

I was running short on time before Leadership and I wanted to make sure I got to participate in the swapping frenzy that accompanies a Stampin' Up! event! My Digital Studio helped me create 50 cards in about two hours! I got so many compliments and I enjoyed sharing my creation! The colors I used have a Mardi Gras flair to it. A set of these cards would make a perfect gift, especially if you are the Queen or court member of a krewe! You can even create beautiful invitations for your Mardi Gras festivities!

I printed this directly to my home printer (the colors aren't exact, but they are close enough). This is the MDS version. After I printed them on Whisper White card stock, I matted it onto either Crushed Curry or Bermuda Bay card stock after adding either a yellow or turquoise square rhinestone brad.
 

Save time with My Digital Studio

Are you pressed for time this Christmas? Save time with My Digital Studio! I used it for my cards this Christmas (I'll post soon, I promise!) and I am VERY pleased! I can't wait to get it back from Stampin' Up!'s professional printing service. This sample shows one of the cards available in the Designer Template section of My Digital Studio. This is the JPEG of the card...

 
  
The real thing...

You can even print text, images, and such on the inside!

It's not too late to find out about this amazing product. Late registration for the My Digital Studio Class (Saturday 1 -3) is available by contacting me by Friday at 6pm {nickole@stampingonthebayou.com}. There are a few spots left.
