Stampin' Up! released the retiring stamps and accessories lists yesterday. It was an exciting day and as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, my head was spinning! I got up early to see the lists myself and without studying them much, got them posted to my blog and Facebook page so my customers would know. Some items are even discounted! Some accessories are 25% and 40% off and some My Digital Studio Content Discs are even 60% off! The Storytime Collection DVD is already sold out.

If you own or are considering owning My Digital Studio in the future, take a look at this sale and see what a deal these are to add content to your program!

A good place to check out the retiring stamps and other products is in my Online Store. You can easily see which products are discounted and available. Remember, anything except stamps are only available while supplies last!

Playful Polka Dots Scrapbook Page

Playful Polka Dots SB-001
Images copyright Stampin' Up! 2013

Yesterday I mentioned you could get this My Digital Studio Playful Polka Dots Digital Kit from Stampin' Up! for FREE! Amazingly, I didn't already own it so I downloaded it and installed it on MDS and played with it! Here is an 8"x 8" scrapbook page I could use once I added some photos.  I had to add the black punches behind where the photo boxes would be because I don't think the photo boxes show up here by themselves.

I started with a custom project and chose the 8" x 8" size. Then I added four photo boxes and chose a background paper from the designer kit.  Next I looked through the embellishments in the Playful Polka Dots Kit and chose the polka dot trim and rotated one to go horizontally. The other two strips were also border embellishments. Next I chose the flowers and leaves and placed them where I wanted.

Working in My Digital Studio is very easy…perhaps you will need a little time to get used to it, but there's not really too big a learning curve!

You can still try MDS for 30 days for a FREE Trial, if you like.  However, with the price dropped drastically down to $19.95 I would just go ahead and purchase MDS and start working with ALL the artwork and content you get for that price.  Really, it is amazing!

Everything MDS can be found in my Stampin' Up! Online Store! Find My Digital Studio in the left sidebar and click on it to go to all that Stampin' Up! offers in MDS!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Stampin' Up! announced a "Color Refresh" the other day, and I made this display above in My Digital Studio of all the retiring colors! As you can see, the discontinued Stampin' Up! colors are:

  • Regal Rose
  • Pretty in Pink
  • Bashful Blue
  • Certainly Celery
  • Baja Breeze
  • Riding Hood Red
  • Bravo Burgundy
  • Not Quite Navy
  • More Mustard
  • River Rock

Stampin' Up! is also having FREE SHIPPING starting NOW and going until Monday night at 11:50 MT.  I'm guessing that a lot of people will be wanting to stock up on these retiring colors….but not just the card stock and ink…..think about refills for each one, ribbon, buttons, markers, designer paper…whatever has these colors in it!

Of course the FREE SHIPPING is on EVERYTHING Stampin' Up! sells….so take advantage of it! It's rare that Stampin' Up! offers free shipping!  Check the annual catalog, the Spring catalog, all the specials….the clear stamps, the Dude You're Welcome Kit, the new preview stamp set A Round Array, the new Petite Curly Label Punch,…especially the new This and That line in the bundle at a 15% discount!

Also, remember Watercolor Crayons are being discontinued, due to problems with the supplier, so the Neutrals, Subtles, and Regals are available while supplies last! Watercolor Pencils are no longer available either.

Once you are ready to order, go to my Online Store here!  Sign in or Create an Account. You can see all the New Arrivals, Specials, Clearance Rack…all on the left sidebar.

If you prefer, you can email your order to me although you will have to give me your payment information.  Email me at Karen@KarenStamps.com.

"Like Me" on Facebook or check back here on my blog and I'll try to keep you up-to-date if anything sells out or if there is any new information!

Let me know if you have any problems or questions!  The retiring colors are only available while supplies last!

Check my blog post here for more information, if you want.

Just be sure to go directly to my Online Store here…don't start at Stampinup.com…especially if you have a large order so you get the best prices, etc.

Have fun shopping!!

Not only is My Digital Studio, the digital papercrafting software from Stampin’ Up!, a fantastic deal in itself, but every Tuesday Stampin’ Up! comes out with MORE irresistable content you can purchase to suit your needs and projects!

Here are today’s new downloads!

MDS Downloads_April 2 2013

Just click on the image above to go directly to my Online Store and find out more about these downloads!

And did you know that what used to be MDS 2+ is now just MDS….and the price has been GREATLY REDUCED!!!  What was $79.95 with over hundreds of dollars of artwork and content is now just $19.95!!!!  You can still do the 30-Day Free My Digital Studio Trial, but I say, just get the full version of My Digital Studio (MDS)  right off the bat for only $20. You won’t begin to imagine what all you can do with it until you have it and play with it and watch some of the video tutorials that are available.

Here’s a great video I urge you to watch that actually shows Holly Linford from the Home Office of Stampin’ Up! working in My Digital Studio on her computer….plus samples of great projects you can make.  It’s more than just scrapbooking for sure!

My Digital Studio by Stampin’ Up! has been so popular and successful that Stampin’ Up! has lowered the price for the software! You don’t want to miss this! The price now is $19.95 for either the digital download (recommended) or the disc itself. It’s all called MDS now, not MDS 2 and MDS 2+ and all that.  And coming soon, if you already have the original MDS, you will be able to get the upgrade FREE.  The 30-Day Free Trial is still available, but at only $19.95 I suggest you just take the plunge because you’re going to want it anyway and this is easier!

And every Tuesday, Stampin’ Up! puts out new downloads for us!  Check out the cute ones for today here!

If you've ever wondered what some of these terms mean, like FTW or BRB, that teenagers and young adults (and maybe older adults, too!) use all the time, here's a great new digital download for My Digital Studio that you can use in your digital paperscrafting….or use to "learn" the terms! It's the FTW Stamp Brush Set #133500 for only $5.95.  Use it on modern scrapbook pages or cards for those people who are so "with it" using these new terms!

If you would like a kit for teenagers, the Seriously Teen Kit looks like a winner for documenting teen life….whether you're the young person or whether you're the one making something for them.  Of course, with all templates in My Digital Studio, you can change anything you like, so I think this kit looks great to use whether for teenagers or not!

And the Made to Be Awesome download is great for anyone who needs a reminder about how awesome they are…or for ourselves! That never hurts!

It's great and easy to learn….lots of fun, too!

My Digital Studio Card for the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo

Leave a reply

Rodeo-001

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is a big deal here in Houston and it is about to begin! Actually the World Championship BBQ Contest is going on now for three days and the Carnival has opened. Next week the actual rodeo and livestock show will open along with a musical act at the end of the rodeo each night. 

Houston really gears up for the rodeo! I made this card in My Digital Studio, starting with a design for a baby card! I just changed out the colors, one star, one button, and added a greeting. My Digital Studio is an easy way to design your own projects either using the templates that come with the program or designing completely on your own.

You can try My Digital Studio FREE for 30 days! You can design anything you want and even get your projects printed. You can purchase downloads that appeal to you and use those as well.  Just go here to my Online Store to get the free trial for My Digital Studio!  You'll enjoy it!  And if you attend the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, you will be all set to scrapbook pictures from the rodeo!

My Digital Studio Downloads…Parent Memories and More Organizing

Leave a reply

One of the new downloads this week for Stampin’ Up!’s digital software program, My Digital Studio, could turn out to be one of the most important ones you could buy and use. This one I am talking about is called “Think Back Photobook Templates“. Once printed it would be an album of questions for whomever you choose. It’s designed for your parents and grandparents to write about their lives. They write their answers in the book, maybe post some photos. A couple of questions in the book are: “What song defines your childhood?” and “What personality traits did you inherit from your mother?”

Think Back Photobook MDS

Click Image above

As with any My Digital Studio templates, you could print this book exactly as is or you can change colors, change names, change questions, add questions, add photos, change embellishments, change design, etc. etc. So you can design this book in whatever manner you want.  You can make it for yourself.

If you still have your parents and loved ones, you take it for granted that you know all about them and will remember all the stories you have heard over and over again in your life. But sometimes that isn’t the case, or your mind just goes blank because you no longer have someone to ask to verify a certain story or fact. If you can get their stories in writing, I guarantee you it will be a treasure to you like no other.

You can even purchase this download for My Digital Studio without owning My Digital Studio and use it in another program. You can even print it yourself or at a retail location.  But if you want the very best, I suggest doing the FREE 30-Day Trial of My Digital Studio and trying it out.  Get the photobook printed by Stampin’ Up!’s own printer and make sure the colors are accurate and the book well done.

If you no longer have your parents and grandparents, then do this for your own children and family. If not now, someday they WILL treasure what you wrote and what you told them.

Click here to see all the newest downloads for this week!  There are more for organizing your home, too!  Stampin’ Up! will have us all ship-shape pretty soon!
