Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio - I've gone digital :)

Today I am sharing some hybrid cards created with the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio program, & some Stampin' Up! cardstock, ribbon, designer papers, & ribbons. It is great how everything coordinates, so you can mix & match these creative mediums to create some unique projects. For those of you that are not familiar with MDS, it is a digital program containing exclusive Stampin'Up! artwork, with stamps, punches, designer papers, ribbon, embelishments, and cardstock. You can use Stampin' Up! colors to coordinate your projects, just as you can with conventional papercrafting. This program enables you to create cards, scrapbooks, & multi-media projects. There are print services available, so you can create & order your scrapbooks from the comfort of your easy chair! With upcoming graduations, what a great program to creat a digital slideshow scrapbook capturing your graduate's life!

In the upcoming Stampin' Up! mini catalog, you will find an affordable alternative to the full program. The condensed version of the My Digital Studio program is called the My Digital Studio Express - Downloadable version which retails for $39.95. With this scaled-down version, you can customize your stamps, designer papers, etc. selecting only the downloads that you are interested in adding to your program. The full version of My Digital Studio retails for $79.95.

Whichever version you choose, there are "tons" of updates available to add to your program. And, every Tuesday, new updates are released!!!

Here are my My Digital Studio Hybrid Cards! What do you think?





I love the layers, & textures of papercrafting. So, I really enjoyed creating these Hybrid projects capturing the best of both worlds! To see the My Digital downloads currently available, go to www.bethkendzora.stampinup.net Well, better go for today... I am off to donate blood! It has been a long time since I have donated, sometimes I have a little problem. But, this time I followed suggestions, eat well & drink lots of fluids. I encourage you to donate blood as well, give the gift of life!!!

Easter Blossom Stamp Set... Not just for Easter Cards!

Check out this cute card idea! A little Chinese lantern using the blooms stamp from the Easter Blossom stamp set. I stamped the blooms, & punched out with 2 1/2 inch circle punch. Then I ran it through my paper crimper. This is a very versatile stamp set, not just for Easter cards! Of course, this stamp set does makes the most adorable Easter & Spring cards, ever!!! Don't miss out...the Occassions Mini Catalog sales period ends April 30th! And, these stamp sets may never again be offered...just can't assume they will make it into the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog on July 1st!

Call, e-mail, or order directly on my business web site!

While you are there, check out the Four Frames stamp set sneak peak available during April. This stamp set and coordinating designer paper will not be available again till July 1st!

Note: Card idea CASED from the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Web Site. Idea from another talented SU Demonstrator!!!

The Very Versatile Petal Cone Die Cut!

WOW...I never would have dreamed that the new Sizzix Big Shot Petal Cone Die Cut would be so versatile! When I first saw the Stampin' Up! Occassions Mini Catalog, & saw the ideas with this new die cut, I really thought it was cute. But, I had no idea it was so versatile! After seeing all the ideas shared by fellow demonstrators, & watching the video from one of my uplines, Jill Olsen, I had to have it!!!

Isn't this Easter Bunny Bag adorable! I will be sharing this project at the Retirement Center I regularly visit. I am sure they will love it as much as I do!




And, here is the box, decorated with the Stampin' Up! exclusive Blossom Party Die Cut. I used the First Edition designer paper from the Occassions Mini Catalog, and Stampin' Up! Antique Brads! Wouldn't these make awsome party favors!

There are many more uses...you can score in 3 inches from the points on end of the box, cut off 2 inches, fold in, assemble the box, & it is a great little box (similar look to a chinese take out box). I have also seen it cut apart, and used as a banner... L-o-v-e I-t!

Thanks for stopping by, & have a great day!!!

here's the inside :)



This card has many of the Sale-a-bration goodies offered only until March 31st!!! We used Punch Bunch & So Happy for You stamp sets, and Ice Cream Parlor designer paper. (cased from Ilena Crouse)



The next card was created with the Create a Cupcake stamp set & Build a Cupcake punch. Simply adorable!!! We created texture on the frosting with one of the Big Shot embossing folders. Unique card size was created with the Big Shot Scallop Die cut. (card idea cased from Debbie Henderson)



The Build a Blossom stamp set & coordinating punch are AWSOME!!! Featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog, page 12. There are so many options with the flowers... (Card was cased from a fellow demonstrator on the Stampin' Up! Stampin' Connection)



The last card was created with the Clearly for You & Cute & Curly stamp sets. The class learned how to re-size the new textured impressions framed tulips embossing folder. Background was stamped with the woodgrain background stamp.



Thanks to all that attended, & if you missed this one, hope you can attend next time!

Occassions Mini Cupcake Cards

Well, I must say, the Stampin' Up! Occassions Mini Catalog has been one of my favorite mini catalogs ever!!! It is full of must have itms... and I think the Create a Cupcate stamp set & Build a Cupcake punch (featured on page 22) are definitely on that list! This stamp set & matching punch are absolutely adorable.

Here are a few swap cards featuring the Create a Cupcake stamp set. And, don't forget Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st!!! With a $50 purchase receive a FREE Sale-A-Bration Item!!!


The Create a Cupcake & Build a Cupcake Punch are featured on this card! We used the Scalloped Square Big Shot Die Cut to make a unique card! Also, used an embossing folder on the cupcake frosting to add texture! (Cased from Debbie Henderson)



I really like this one! We used the new Framed Tulip Textured Empressions Embossing Folder and I taught the gals how to re-size the folder! I love how it turned out! We used the new Clearly for You stamp set for focal image, & Cute & Curly stamp set for the sentiment. Soft Suede card base was stamped with the woodgrain background stamp! This card could be a great masculine card!



Thanks to everyone that attended. If you missed this class, I hope you can attend next time :) And, contace me if you would like for me to share any of these techniques with you & your friends at your' in-home workshop!
