    Free digital downloads and 50% off digital kits ends Nov 5



    • FREE digital downloads ends Monday
    • 50% off ALL digital kits ends Monday
    • Join Stampin' Up! between now and Dec 16 for $99 + Free Ink Pads worth $49.95

    • New Trimmer now available -- see video demo


    I shopped for Christmas Ornaments and candles and started working on digital Christmas projects this week-end...I'm finding it a little hard to believe we just finished Halloween and it is almost Thanksgiving!  I spent the rest of the week-end playing with My Digital Studio Downloads.   Here's one of the digtal projects I created a couple of weeks ago for a class.




     



    One way I plan to save time and enjoy the holidays more is with My Digital Studio designs.  I'll use this background design for many different projects. 

    This design were based on an idea I saw and didn't think to capture where I was on the web when I saw these striking color combinations.  The great thing about designing in My digital Studio is that once I've created the basic background design, I can use it on all kinds of die cuts, tags and cards.  I'll be able to make matching card fronts, gift packages like this pillow box, matchbox candy holders, or anything else I want to create from this design. 

    I started by doing a search in My Digital Studio for all the snowflake I had purchased as downloads.  I selected several snowflakes from different kits, sized them, positioned them, and then colored them using either Crumb Cake or Basic Black.  I admit to a little trial and error.  I printed this on regular computer paper and laid a Sizzix pillow box template over the design to position elements where I wanted them to end up on the finished die cut.  I added the dotted line from the Candlelight Chritmas digital kit and position the text around the dotted line. 

    Here are the My Digital Studio Products used in the little Pillow Box above:

    Stamps, Desginer Kits, & Colors
    Bright Hopes\Bright Hopes - snowflake, Color = CRUMB CAKE
    Calendar Basics Kit\Calendar Kit - snowflake, Color = CRUMB CAKE
    Holiday Blitz\Holiday Blitz - snowflake, Color = CRUMB CAKE
    Jolly Bingo Bits\Jolly Bingo Bits - snowflake, Color = CRUMB CAKE, BASIC BLACK
    Snowflake Soiree\Snowflake Soiree - snowflake 3, Color = CRUMB CAKE
    Designer Kits\Candlelight Christmas\Candlelight Christmas - dotted line, Color = Taken with Team (retired)


    Don't forget the FREE downloads and 50% off all Digital scrapbooking kit that ends Mon, Nov 5.

    I'm betting you've been thinking about trying digital designing software, as your stamp room has grown more cluttered with barely an empty space to work in.  It is great to have all of the traditional scrapbooking products, but some days you just wish for a clean working space to begin your creative process. 

    That's one of the beauties of My Digital Studio.  You can start with a blank page.  Or you can begin with one of the many designer templates or photo templates available.  It is a fast way to try different color combinations and stamps to create your designs before you pull out all your papers and stamps.  Even if you are casing an idea you saw elsewhere, you might want to try different color combinations, designer papers or different stamps.  My Digital Studio design software helps you personalize an idea quickly, and economically.

    With so many ladies becoming highly skilled in using digital design software MyDigitaStudio.com site is filled with handy videos to get you started and keep you going.  The forums are friendly and useful for beginners or experienced users. 

    So what do the free downloads look like? And what do they include?










    The talented artists at Stampin' Up! shared this idea for using the kit on the MyDigitalStudio.com site.   This kit makes easy-to-do tags for your packages, advent calendars, Holiday cards and scrapbook pages
