I fell IN LOVE with the Soft Blooms My Digital Studio download from Stampin' Up! this week..

I needed to feed my soul and make an MDS card... QUICK!!!

This is a 6x6 My Digital Studio card featuring a "Twitterpated" DSP background, with a Decorative Overlays background in white over that, then a heart shape covered with Soft Blooms. 

I printed it at home and mounted it onto Wisteria Wonder and Regal Rose cardstock.

Jason's birthday card - My Digital Studio

---------------------

I'm still in total disbelief that my sweet Jason could be 21 !!  But.. it's true!

I made him this card using My Digital Studio and before I adhered the layers together, I made slits with my craft knife and tucked in "$21" in each one.. thought it was kinda clever...

FRONT:

INSIDE:

I started with a CARD TEMPLATE called On The Green (7"x5") in My Digital Studio and then added the "tags" and personalization, plus the cute truck and helicopter from the adorble "On the Go" kit.  I printed the 2 panels at home and adhered them to a cardstock mat and then to a Lucky Limeade folded card.

I know I am constantly saying that a new product is my favorite... but right now, the Blossom Builder Sheets from Stampn' Up! are DEFINITELY my new favorites!!! 

For this project, I used the Blossom Builder flowers (#125410) to add dimension and fun to my My Digital Studio cards!

 

 

The Blossom Builder flowers are so versatile.. make any fun combination you want... One side is patterned and one side is solid colored, so you can mix and match!

Summer Smooches from Stampin' Up!

Just ONE of the fabulously cool things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we get to PRE ORDER new products .. such as this super cute Summer Smooches suite of products!! 

Yesterday, demonstrators were able to preorder adorable fabric, designer paper, a stamp set, and so much more!  The colors are bright and fun and the theme is flowery and adorable!!

Would you like to join my Luv 2 Stamp Group and the Stampin' Up! family as a demonstrator (for only $125)?  I'd love to chat with you about the benefits of joining us.  You can also read more info here. 

 

I wanted to send out CONGRATS cards to the top 10 demonstrators in my group for their sales achievements so I used the MY DIGITAL STUDIO Summer Smooches download we could preorder yesterday and then I embellished the inside of the card with the coordinating new stamp set (we were given that stamp set in San Antonio at the Managers Reception in January).

You might remember the absolutely cutie patootie bag we got at Leadership showcasing this Summer Smooches fabric... soooooo stinkin' cute!

(for more projects made with this fun fabric, see this previous post.. scroll down below the card samples)

CUSTOMERS... never fear.. you will be able to preorder this adorable suite of products in April!!  Then you will see it again in the New Catalog on June 1!!

YES>>> I did say June 1 !!!! :)

Thanks for checking in with me today .. have a great weekend!

Check back Monday for a fun video!

FREE GOODIES!!  It's SALE A BRATION TIME!

---------------------

I taught a 3 hour My Digital Studio Class (twice!) this weekend.. we had so much fun and it was priceless to see the "lightbulbs" go on as my class attendees asked questions and created digital projects on their computer step by step with me. It was great to meet Doreen and Jan for the first time, too!  Thanks to everyone who attended! 

We made 2 MDS Hybrid projects after the 2 hour computer session.. here is what we made:

 

This project features a My Digital Studio box pattern from the hostess offering last Christmas called Savor the Season.  I embellished it with the Meant to Be download (#129354), the Attic Boutique download #129358, we used the Simply Scored tool (#122334) to score the box, and then decorated it with Blushing Bride Pleated ribbon #125570

 

 I thought it would make a really cute wedding or shower favor box filled with chocolates, cookies, or whatevers!

Our hybrid Digital card project features the fabulous Simply Sent Everyday Elegance cards (#122377 - or get them FREE.. ask me how!) and a focal point designed with the Fabulous Flourets digital download (#126027), die cut and embossed with the Labels Collection Framlet die (#125598) and then accented with the Beautiful Wings butterfly embosslit (#118138) or the Mixed bunch set (#125535/125537) and Bossom Punch (#125603).

Learn how to emboss with your Labels Collection dies by watching my video :)

Kits & Tutorials available from Patty Bennett

------------------------------------------------------------

Here is our last card from my Stamp A Stack class featuring My Digital Studio Hybrid Cards.

As you can see... this one was all about some GLITZ AND GLIMMER!

(click any image to view larger)

Not only did we add the FABULOUS Silver Glimmer paper (#124005) from Stampin' UP! (Holiday Mini catalog, pg 41), but we also added Dazzling Details glitter glue  (#124117) to the snowy areas on the card.  Trust me.. this one is SUPER pretty in person!

I printed the house and trees from the Christmas Lodge MDS download (#125611) and added some trees from the Lovely as a Tree download (#125779), then class attendees added the torn strip of Silver Glimmer Paper, and a torn white strip and stamped the greeting from Christmas Lodge, then deocrated a paper for the inside and their envelopes with the stamp set as well.
