Nov 4, 2013 | Birthday, My Digital Studio |
Have you taken advantage of any of the My Digital Studio deals during Digital Scrapbooking Days?
There is a My Digital Studio Seasonal Sale with select downloads at 30% off.
Daily deals with a select download at 50% off. There was even a free download on Saturday.
I have added some new downloads to my collection including today’s Daily Deal – Modern Medleys Overlay Kit – it’s only $3.98 today.
With all the talk of My Digital Studio and digital downloads I thought I would share a My Digital Studio project with you today.
Check out this fancy card! It’s a new option for printing called the Artisan Postcard (there is also a scallop card option). If you are designing a card in MDS and plan to print it with this option through Stampin’ Up! be sure to turn on the Artisan card bleed area.
To create this card I started with a postcard template from the Every Celebration Hostess Ensemble — yes there is a digital download hostess option. This is what the postcard template looks like
It’s actually an invitation. I copied the top and flipped and mirrored it to add it to the bottom of the card. Then I changed the words to add phrases related to birthdays so that it would be a birthday card. I sent it off to Stampin’ Up! to print it as an Artisan card.
Here is a look at the Every Celebration Hostess Ensemble –
Next time you are a Stampin’ Up! hostess you can choose this for part of your hostess dollars.
Visit my online store to see all the digital downloads we have available including the ones on sale. Tomorrow is Tuesday so there should be some new releases too. Also visit MyDigitalStudio.net to see tomorrows daily deal.

Oct 30, 2013 | Banner Kit, Cards, Christmas |
I love how this card turned out. I used the single stamp Christmas Star. It is much bigger than I thought it was going to be. It’s nearly as big as my hand. The single stamp flyer shows it much smaller.

I originally created this as a WOW Holiday swap for a swap group that I’m in called the GoDiva’s. There are lots of really WOW card ideas in this group and I always wonder is mine WOW enough to be included. I mailed off my swaps and received a bag in return of a whole bunch of new ideas. I also decided to use this as my swap card at my PAWS team meeting earlier this month.
Here is how I made it:
- The card base is Soft Suede card stock.
- Then there is a Very Vanilla layer – first I stamped “Christmas Blessings” using Soft Suede ink (and yes I did use a Stamp-a-ma-jig for these to make sure they were really straight). Then I used the polka dot stencil from the Build A Banner Kit, Gold Ink and a sponge dauber – I added gold polka dots in the background – somewhat random and varying the intensity of the gold. I also stamped the small splatter dots from Gorgeous Grunge in Crumb Cake ink and sponged the edges.
- I stamped the Christmas Star on Very Vanilla card stock using Soft Suede ink. Cut the star out and then scored it on all the lines so that I could fold the star and make it 3-D.
- Using half of a tea lace doily it was ruffled up and glued to the back of half the star. I added the star to the front of the card – stack up dimensionals under the center so it doesn’t flatten out.
- I added a Jumbo Rhinestone to the center of the star.
- To finish the card I used the Naturals Cotton ribbon – cut the length that you want, then cut it in half through the whole length and then in half again – so you are using 1/4 of the width of the ribbon – I wanted the fraying to give it a natural look.
Thanks for stopping by today.
