Summer Smooches STENCIL Idea!

This stencil, like the Fabric Brads, is another item that is ONLY AVAILABLE IN APRIL!!! While the designer paper, stamp set, etc. will be part of the new catalog in June — the fabric brads and this fabulous stencil are EXCLUSIVE to this April Promotion.

I just love the striking card shown above… the stencil gives a lot of nice coverage and is a fun alternative to a background stamp!

“On the Go!” Classes & Kit Offerings!

Thank you to everyone who has e-mailed me with interest in taking the March Classes "On the Go!" This is a wonderful alternative for my long distance readers, and I'm happy to be able to offer it!

The big question has been which classes are available "On the Go!"…. and the answer for this month is ALL of them!!!!! YES! Even the Spring Fever Class!!!!! I'm not always able to offer the rotating Creative Tuesday Class "On the Go!" — but I'm so happy to say that this one is available, and will come complete with step by step instructions and photos on how to make the 3-D templates.

Here's a rundown of all of the current "On the Go!" offerings and links for more details on the kits!

Shoppe On the Go!

Can't make it to The Stamp Shoppe? No problem! You can do both Scrapbook and Card Shoppe Classes "On the Go!"

These "On the Go!" Kits are available seperately (get 1 or the other or both) and include all of the pre-cut cardstock pieces, all accessories (ribbon, brads, rhinestones, etc). Additionally, any punching or die cutting is done for you!

The only thing that these kits don't include is the stamping per copyright policies. You can use any images you already have that fit in the space, or, purchase the supplies needed (if you purchase a qualifying amount, the kits are actually FREE!)

For more information on "Shoppe On the Go!" CLICK HERE.

Stamp-A-Stack Kits!

You can receive a kit for the Stamp-A-Stack cards to complete at home!

This "On the Go!" kit is actually my MOST POPULAR kit, people love stamping quantity, and 2 designs makes things easy.

For more information on Stamp-A-Stack Kits, CLICK HERE!

Spring Fever Kit!

You'll receive very detailed, photographed instructions on how to create the templates for the 2 "treat" items as part of your PDF instruction file.

The kit isn't stamped per copyright policies, but the stamping is EXTREMELY minimal (just sentiments!) since it uses a Simply Scrappin' Kit.

For more information on the Spring Fever Kit, CLICK HERE!

Mixed Bouquet Stamp Set of the Month!

With the purchase of the featured Stamp Set & Accessory of the month bundle, you'll get a kit to make 6 of the featured cards for FREE!!! You can also purchase additional kits for just $6.

This kit is available through February 28th.

For more information about the Mixed Bouquet Kit, CLICK HERE.

Kits and "On the Go!" classes are a WONDERFUL way for you to expand your creativity and continue to learn, right in the comfort of your own home! I don't know about you, but I LOVE an excuse to stamp in my pajamas!

Let me know if you have any questions.

If you can't make it to my local classes, I hope you can take advantage of the next best thing!

MDS Blog Hop… Sale-A-Bration CDs!

It's time for another Friday of My Digital Studio Blog Hopping!! Today's theme is "Sale-A-Bration CDs"!!!! There are TWO Digital Content CDs that you can take for FREE with ordering $50 worth of product (spend $100 and you don't have to choose, you get can get BOTH!) This is a GREAT time for you to stock up on your favorite downloads, and get more downloads for free at the same time!

One of the Sale-A-Bration CDs is all of the Sale-A-Bration Exclusive Content in Digital Form (the 4 stamp sets, designer paper, ribbon and brads). The other CD is an exclusive "celebration" CD with designer paper, templates and embellishments.

The project that I'm going to share with you today is a card that I made using BOTH of these CDs so you can see how they cross over nicely!

The DSP and the flower embellishments are from the Celebrate CD, and then the "You did it!" and flower images below that are part of the Sale-A-Bration Content CD! I also used the Cheap Talk Stamp Set (comes pre-loaded on MDS), Glimmer Brads and Lucky Limeade Ruffle Ribbon (additional downloads available for purchase).

To color the wing of the bird a different color, I created and re-sized a punch that would cover it, then moved it behind the bird so it "fit".

This card is a sneak peek some of my girls might not want to see….. I just ordered a bunch of them for March Team Recognition!! I plan to jazz them up with a little somethin' somethin' when they come in… probably glitter!

Now head on over and check out the rest of the blog hop!
