Let’s Get Digital with My Digital Studio During Sale-A-Bration

Let's Get Digital Bundle

Don’t forget about the My Digital Studio products during Sale-A-Bration! My Digital Studio is the digital papercrafting software from Stampin’ Up! You can make way more than just scrapbook pages digitally. This is the Let’s Get Digital Bundle offered in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure as a suggestion to get to the $50 price point to earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. After purchasing this, or any other current Stampin’ Up! products or My Digital Studio products, you can choose a FREE Digital Ensemble during Sale-A-Bration (more stuff to play with on My Digital Studio!) or any other free product in the brochure.

Here is a video that gives you an inside peek at making a card in My Digital Studio. One of the things you will see is recoloring a stamp, one of the newer features! Closer to the beginning of the video you will see a color put behind a see-through word in order to change the background color. You can send layers forward and backward to achieve what you want. The best way to learn My Digital Studio is to get in there and play! It’s all pretty intuitive and you will learn it all in no time!

You can try My Digital Studio free for 30 days, although at a price of only $19.95 I feel confident you will like it when you try it and you should just go ahead and purchase the MDS software, either as a download (recommended) or the disc. Let me know if you have any questions.

Save Money on Stampin’ Up! Products

Stampin' Up! Weekly Deal Feb 25 2014

Save a little money on some Stampin’ Up! products this week in the new Weekly Deal! Every Tuesday Stampin’ Up! has been offering several products at a discount.  This special is good until the following Monday night.  Add these items to your order and when you reach $50 you can ALSO take advantage of Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration and choose a FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure!

Here are some tips for these products!

  • The Backyard Basics Framelits Dies coordinate, of course, with the Backyard Basics Stamp Set, available in wood- or clear-mount. There is also a Bundle, too, if you prefer which includes the stamp set and framelits.
  • You might like to use Clear Embossing Powder with the Gold Metallic Encore Pad. You can use the ink without being embossed but if you touch the stamped image you might get a dab of ink on your finger, although the image itself doesn’t smear.
  • The Paper Doily Sizzlits Die is beautiful but a little more labor intensive, sometimes. Sometimes it depends on the amount of pressure exerted in your own Big Shot. It may help to place a piece of wax paper on the die and then the card stock which helps the pieces come out. Or just use your Paper Piercing Tool or something sharp to poke out the little pieces. But sometimes they don’t even all have to be poked out because sometimes/usually you are covering part of the doily with some other element. But it is a beautiful die and can add a lot to your project!

Also, today:  New My Digital Studio Downloads for February 25, 2014

MDS Downloads Feb 25 2014

I’m excited to see the Word Bubbles Punches and the Just Sayin’ Digital Stamp Brush Set included!  Click the link above to see all the downloads for this week.

Super Bowl Scrapbook Page Idea

Super Bowl 2014 Scrapbook Page

Today is Super Bowl Sunday! Perhaps you are having a party or going to a party. Wouldn’t it be great to take some photos of your friends and put them on a scrapbook page to remember the day?  This scrapbook page was made easily in My Digital Studio, the digital papercrafting design software from Stampin’ Up! My Digital Studio is about way more than making scrapbook pages, though. You could have designed matching party invitations, table decorations, banners for house decorations, and more! The best way to learn to use My Digital Studio is just to get in the program and play. You can start with pre-designed pages or projects and just add your photos, or change the color of the paper but keep the design.

You can try My Digital Studio FREE for 30 days if you like.  But at a price of only $19.95 for the full program, why not just purchase My Digital Studio from the start and you are ready to go with the software and TONS of content! I recommend the download so you have immediate access and can always access it rather than keeping track of the disc.

Enjoy the game and enjoy the parties!

The Mailbox Love Notes is a Digital Class that includes a video tutorial showcasing two digital projects and beginner MDS techniques.  Does anyone remember the tin mailboxes carried at Target years ago in the dollar bin? Oh my gosh, we demos went CRAZY for those! I remember driving to a couple of store locations in order to find a quantity of those mailboxes!  We covered them with Designer Paper and decorated them and made cards to go inside!  They were so cute! Now you can print out a mailbox pattern and make a paper one with this digital class!

Last Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deal for the Year 2013

Can you believe today is the last day of 2013? Time goes by so fast!  I heard someone on TV say that since most of us don’t write checks as much these days with all kinds of online bill-paying or automatic payments, etc. that it’s harder to get the idea of a new year in your head! You know how it was always hard to remember to write the new year on your checks?! (Which reminds me I do have some bills to pay today!!) I hope you have a wonderful New Year’s Eve planned or just a quiet night at home with your family and snacks!

One of my favorite New Year’s Eve stories is the year my mother started calling friends the afternoon I think of Dec. 31 when I was 16 and found out not “everybody” was going to fancy parties and events. She invited everyone to my grandparents’ house (because it was a little bigger than ours and newer and we loved being there!) for New Year’s Eve.  My grandma always had plenty of food in the house and I’m sure we made some snacks and things and people probably brought things and we had the best party there on the spur of the moment! It was my parents’ friends and neighbors, my grandparents’ neighbors, some kids, probably my other grandmother–it was great!

So if you are not out partying tonight, visit my Stampin’ Up! Online store and check out the new Weekly Deal announced today, plus the Clearance Rack, plus the Valentine products out already! Be sure you check the second page as well or click “Show:  ALL”. Check over the Holiday Catalog again to make sure you have all you need out of it before it comes to an end January 2. The new Occasions Catalog begins January 3. Pay attention to your mail if you are one of my regular customers because the Occasions Catalog should be showing up in your mailbox right now! If you do not have your own Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and would like a copy of the Occasions Catalog, please contact me.  I have a few extra copies right now. Sale-A-Bration is coming soon in January as well!!

Here are the new Stampin’ Up! Weekly Deals!  Be sure to check page 2 as well or click on “Show:  All”.

It’s Tuesday so it’s a new Weekly Deal from Stampin’ Up! What jumps out at me?  The Hearts Collection Framelits Dies!!  We may be totally focused on Christmas right now, but you know Valentine’s Day will be “up next” after New Years. Go ahead and get some Hearts Framelits now on sale so you’ll be ready to cut those Valentines in February!

Of course don’t miss ANY punch and Scallop Circle Punches are always fun! And how many Fun Flowers have we made out of paper and fabric? The Fun Flowers Bigz L Die is great to have. Make some beautiful fabric flower pins and sell them! Merry Minis Punch Pack – I certainly love the little star! And the little ornament shape and tree are perfect for your cards right now! The Paper Doily Sizzlits Die is gorgeous to make although it takes a little patience sometimes to perhaps poke out the little pieces! But sometimes you cover part of it with another layer and don’t need to punch out all the pieces! It’s beautiful to have in your collection. Wisteria Wonder Chevron Ribbon – kind of like punches, you might as well have it! The Chevron ribbon in the different colors is beautiful and great to use. And for you My Digital Studio fans, another download, especially on sale, is always welcome – Think Back Photobook TemplatesThis download has questions to ask parents, grandparents, anyone, to find out about their life and get the memories flowing so that they can be recorded for your family history. I can’t tell you how valuable and treasured this information will be to you when your loved ones are no longer with you.

If you don’t have My Digital Studio, you can do a 30-Day Free Trial OR you can go ahead and purchase the My Digital Studio Software because it is only $19.95. It really is quite a deal.  You get the software plus a TON of content to use in your projects.  And it’s not just about digital scrapbooking AT ALL! Make cards, invitations, home decor, photobooks, framed art and more!
