I can’t stop playing with My Digital Studio! Here is a winter card I just created…

If you want to make this IRL, here is the recipe:

Stamps: Snowburst, Hugs & Wishes
Paper: Night of Navy, Not Quite Navy, Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy DSP
Ink: Whisper White Craft Ink, Night of Navy Classic Ink
Accessories: White Grosgrain Ribbon, Silver Designer Brad, Modern Label Punch, Big Shot, Scallop Circle #2 Bigz Die, Circles #2 Originals Die

I love how I can design a card on MDS and not waste any materials. Once I have it just how I like it, I can duplicate it in real life. This saves so much time and money. My Digital Studio will be available for purchase on October 1st.

I’m busy stamping Holiday Mini projects and will post them later tonight or tomorrow. I also took a few moments today to play around with My Digital Studio (available Oct. 1st). Here is a Christmas card I made using the Christmas Jingle Designer Kit…

I’m absolutely in love with this software!

Recently I was asked to create a flower pot card tutorial for Splitcoaststampers. Now that it has been posted I can share it with you on my blog. I wanted to use the new Stampin’ Up!® In Colors and Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper so here is what I came up with:

All the ingredients and directions are available in the tutorial. And for all the visual learners, Beate created an awesome video tutorial to go along with it. Check it out!

I’m having an open house this Sunday and have been making quick, simple cards to show some of the new sets and in-colors. Here’s one of them:

Stamps: Wings of Friendship
Paper: Melon Mambo, Whisper White
Ink: Melon Mambo, Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Close To Cocoa
Accessories: Melon Mambo 1/2″ Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch

Don’t ya just love the new in-colors?! I think my favorite is Melon Mambo. What’s yours?
