Using My Digital Studio Version 2

Hello MDS 2-001

Just a silly little card for my first creation on my newly installed My Digital Studio Version 2! I started with one of the card templates that only had that top quote bubble. I added the next two and the text and the dahlia in the corner!

Since I already had the original version of My Digital Studio I could have purchased just an upgrade with very little content. But when I looked over everything that was included in the mds 2+ version, it made much more sense to go ahead and get that. The mds 2+ has the software with almost 75 new features and tons and tons of artwork, embellishments, designer kits, and more.  Even though I already had a lot of it, there was a lot I didn't have and for the price it was a great deal.

Here's a tip for installation:

If you have an anti-virus program running, particularly AVG, pause it or turn it off or whatever you need to do. My new MDS 2+ would not install on either my laptop or desktop until I thought of the anti-virus program.  Once I paused it, it installed just fine! I haven't had time to take in all the new features yet, but there's plenty of time. There will be so much fun ahead playing with this new My Digital Studio!

If you would like to try My Digital Studio Version 2, all you have to do is go to the Online Store here and select the MDS 2 Free Trial. During that 30 days you can purchase any extra downloads you would like, but really you will receive plenty to try. You will have full capability to use the software and print your projects.  Even if you did the MDS Express Trial you can still do this one!  You have nothing to lose and everything enjoyable to gain!

Reason to Smile

It's not really the last day to have a reason to smile, just the last day to purchase the Reason to Smile stamp set for only $5 with a $50 purchase! It was fun having a stamp set to buy for only $5!

  • Stampin' Up! has notified us that they are switching the type of liner used in the Snail Adhesive.  It is now tinted blue and thinner that the previous liner so the roll may look like it has less adhesive, but it does have the same amount.
  • Are you on my mailing list??!  Be sure to sign up at the top of the middle column of my blog!  My August newsletter will be coming out next!
  • The Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog begins tomorrow!!  If you do not have a demonstrator you are working with and would like a Holiday Catalog, please email me. You will certainly LOVE this catalog!
  • The new Version 2 of My Digital Studio is supposed to come out tomorrow! Can't wait!!  If you would like to try first before buying, you will be able to order a free 30-day trial.

My Digital Studio Version 2 Is Coming August 1st!

Yesterday at the Stampin' Up! 2012 Convention, Shelli Gardner's daughter Sara made this little video about My Digital Studio Version 2.  Just the news we have been hoping for!! (and you get a peek backstage at the Convention!)

 

If you are not familiar with My Digital Studio, it is the Stampin' Up! digital design software featuring Stampin' Up! colors, artwork and templates. It is easy to learn and easy to do.  Once you create your project, just send it off to the Stampin' Up! printer to get perfect colors and quality…or do it yourself.

My Digital Studio is WAY more than digital scrapbooking…..you can design cards, photo albums, calendars, invitations, scrapbook pages, party favors, framed art…almost anything you can think of. Stampin' Up! releases new downloads every week….it's like Christmas every Tuesday!

As great as we have all thought My Digital Studio was, Version 2 promises to be even better!  Lots of new features….things like being able to "color in" the stamps, resize images without pixilation, new search feature, recoloring designer paper….just to list a few!  More details will come out soon, I'm sure!

I heard that the demonstrators who attended a class at Convention for My Digital Studio got to download a free trial of MDS2!

Check out My Digital Studio and see if you are game to try!

My Digital Studio Swatchbook for Graduation

One of the many interesting and fun projects you can make with My Digital Studio is called a swatchbook. The swatchbook template is just 5 1/2"x 3 1/4" so it is very cute and has so many uses. It is thirteen actual pages but front and back so you have 26 pages to use.  The upper left corner comes with a rivet to hold it together and there is a plastic cover on the front. You can purchase downloads that have the pages practically all made for you or you can start from scratch on your own.

Here is one example….the Twitterpated Swatchbook Designer Template!

Twitterpated Swatchbook Designer Template - Digital Download

You can go with the template exactly as is or change papers, embellishments, colors to suit your purpose.

Be sure to check out the opportunity to try My Digital Studio Express FREE for 30 days!  And if you purchase My Digital Studio before Version 2 comes out (perhaps soon!) you will get Version 2 FREE.

Father's Day Page 2012-001

How about using My Digital Studio to make a Father's Day scrapbook page for photos of Dad and the children?  You can put it in a scrapbook (if you print it out) OR you can print it and frame it!  You most likely can find any size frame these days, particularly one made for scrapbook pages.  Add the photos where you see the black boxes. Or if you prefer, just use this design for a starting point and make it the traditional way with paper, ink and stamps!  Add your embellishments and you have a great Father's Day gift.  Personalize however you like!

For more information on My Digital Studio, click HERE.

It's very easy to either completely design your own page…or do like I did and start with a template in My Digital Studio and change it up how you like it!
