MDS DSP!

Hey Everyone, I know I haven't posted in a little bit, but I'm so excited I just got my stuff from the new catalog the other day. 

So I decided to make a card with all new colors.  As for the title it stands for My Digital Studio (MDS), Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Stampin' Up has such wonderful DSP, but this one I made myself.  I used the Baroque Motifs Stamp set (which I love, but I don't have it except on MDS), and placed the stamps all randomly on the page using Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso (which I LOVE), and Pear Pizzazz.  And just printed on Whisper White card stock.  Then I cut it out to fit on my card (4" x 5.25", to fit in a 4.25" x 5.5" card).  And I sponged the edges using Early Espresso. 

Then attached it to Pear Pizzazz card stock as the base.  I used the Scallop Trim Border punch on Early Espresso.  Stamped the Birthday wishes from Sincere Salutations, and layered that on a piece of Baja Breeze and attached with Dimensionals. 

I love the look of this card and it was SO easy with the help of MDS (although you could stamp it just as easy, if you have the stamp set).  But since I didn't it was a great way to make a hybrid card using MDS and stamping and my stamping supplies are so much greater because of MDS and all of the stuff that comes with it! 

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think! 

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

My Digital Studio

So this weekend I was playing with the My Digital Studio (MDS) and came up with a couple of cards.  The 1st one I got the color inspirations from "Stampin 411".  The colors are Bashful Blue, Rose Red, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery.  The stamp sets I used were Extreme Elements and Heard from the Heart. 

To make the backgrounds for the Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue, I used the stamps in the same color and added a drop shadow so it would show up. 

For the next card I just used Basic Black and Whisper White, and the Baroque Motifs stamp set, which I LOVE!!!  Some punches and brads!  I love the look and how simple it is!

I'm still exploring all the things to do with MDS, but it is so fun to explore and play with. 

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
