Reverse Masking Technique

I found this awesome technique on YouTube. Of course it caught my eye since it was my up-line doing the demonstration, but I absolutely loved the technique. It’s really pretty easy to do. I created a bunch of these to send out. Maybe you’ll be one of the lucky ones to get one.

Hybrid MDS Project

I’ve enjoyed sharing MDS with so many of you during my free classes. While I was talking to them about this wonderful program I mentioned how easy it to create Hybrid projects. A Hybrid Project is where part of your project is created Digitaly and the other is created traditionally. I was telling them about one of the projects the I created last year for the Stampin’ Up! Artisan design contest. This was one of my favorite projects. It’s a 12 x 12 scrapbook page. One of the pictures that I used was the Birth announcement that I created in “My Digital Studio.” I just printed it out larger to put it on the page.

I love all the detail I was able to add to the page and how the MDS is the only color that I added to the page. It’s hard to tell in the picture, but the whole thing sparkles and shimmers. It’s was actually created as more of a show piece then one that would go in a scrapbook since it has so many layers. I just re-created it (finally) so that I could hang it up in my daughters room that we just finished painting. I put it in one of those 12 x 12 frames and it looks so cute. Just so you know a few of the items are retired now as it was created last year.

MDS is such a great tool you can use to enhance your traditional scrapbook as well as creating all Digital projects. I hope that you will join me from one of my future classes. You can down-load the free MDS trial from my website or better yet just buy the program for the new low cost of just $19.95.

If you have any questions let me know.

Check out these colors displayed in their new collections!

Q & A from Stampin’ Up!

Q: Why are colors being discontinued?
A: We retired colors based on sales history and focus group feedback. We also looked at our overall color offering and determined what colors were not working with others. We sent out surveys, looked at trends, and determined what colors are out of date, etc.

Q: Why have some of the carryover colors changed collections?
A: With the changes, we found that a few colors fit better in a different collection. We also organized our colors to be more complementary within each collection.

Q: When will the new color kit be available?
A: The new color kit will be available starting May 31. The kit will be available through the catalog year. All other new color products will be available with the new catalog on May 31.

A: We do not retire colors or products from My Digital Studio. All retiring colors will stay in your color palette.

Q: Will the new colors be available in My Digital Studio?

Crazy for Christmas

I know some of you are thinking it’s way to early for Christmas. While I do agree with you and I have put out my fun fall decorations and I’m waiting until after Thanksgiving to put up my Christmas stuff. However I do know that this time of the year calendars fill up fast so I wanted to give you the dates of my annual “Crazy for Christmas” stamp Camp. This is my favorite event of the year when I will have lots of fun Christmas gift project you can make for friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. I’m still working on all the projects, but here’s a sneak peek of one of my favorites so far.

This cute snowman is made with our cookie boxes. Each box can still be opened so you can fill them with fun cookies (our cookie press make this so easy) or other treats. Then when the treats are gone they will still have a cute snowman for their home. This is just one of the many fun projects I will have to make so mark your calendars and plan to come. Be watching for more info. on all the projects or better yet visit me at Novemberfest Thanksgiving weekend at Logan Rec Center to see them in person.
