Holiday Photo Cards - Pets
Posted on November 24th, 2010, no responses.
This post has gone to the dogs! Or should I say, to the Dog. Pet Holiday photo cards are very popular, and you can use the same card designs and templates for your dog, cat, bird, or chinchilla, I had some fun making a couple specifically for the dog. These were “digitally stamped” using My Digital Studio (MDS) software and downloads.
These cards feature my beagle Flash Gordon, so I’m calling them “Flash Cards” hehehe.

I added the hardware over the ribbon to give the effect of a dog collar and dog tag.
“Have yourself a Merry little Christmas” words came from the Christmas Cocoa 2 Digital Kit (120880), Candy Cane Lane Photocard Digital Kit (122177), Hodgepodge Hardware - Styled Silver (118863) this comes with the MDS software, Always Artichoke grosgrain ribbon (comes with software),



__________________________________________________________________

This one I had some fun with, adding the MIstletoe (included in MDS) over the fire hydrant.
“Ho Ho Ho Let’s go find some Mistletoe” & “Season’s Greetings” words both came from Old Saint Nick Stamp Brush Set (119094), The fire hydrant stamp is from the Man’s Best Friendstamp brush set - which is part of the MDs software (not available seperately at this time).

Holiday Photo Cards - Part 4
Posted on November 19th, 2010, no responses.
Ever see those fashion magazines that show 2 celebrities wearing the same dress? How embarassing! Another great quality of using My Digital Studio to create photo cards this holiday season is that your cards will stand out in a crowd. Since MDS cards are totally customizable, no one else will have the same design. No embarrasing duplicates.
Today’s cards feature my friend Vanessa and her newborn baby. You may remember Vanessa as the co-host on the Stamp with Tami show (and you may even remember her pregnant belly hehehe).

The background is the Deck the Halls Digital Kit (122176), with Vintage Overlays stamp brush (121061). “Peace Love and Joy” is from the All Holidays stamp brush (118825) which is included in the MDS software package. The brad is from Antique Brads Pack (122164) (doesn’t it look so real?).




_______________________________________________________________________

Both “Oh, come let us adore Him” & “Merry Christmas” words, along with the 3 Wise men image are from the Come to Bethlehem stamp brush set (123963). Scallop Trim border punch (122136).


_______________________________________________________________________

Let the photo do the talking. Here I just added a small text and embellishment to allow the photo to stand out. The flourish is from Frames with a Florish stamp brush set (119104) - this comes with the MDS software package. “Merry Christmas” is from Come to Bethlehem stamp brush set (123963).

Holiday Photo Cards - Part 1
Posted on November 18th, 2010, no responses.
Photos in and on your holiday cards are such a great way to share your family. I save the pictures from the Christmas cards I receive from friends and family each year, and love looking back at old photos.
Creating photo cards with My Digital Studio (MDS) is so fun, and dare I say even a little addicting. I decided to “digitally stamp” my Christmas Cards last year (click here to view > ). The great part is, they are totally customizable. You can make them postcards or full cards. With MDS you have the option to either print them out yourself on your home printer, or have them professionally printed through MDS. You can even customize the inside, write a note, etc. It was so cool to be able to put photos on both the outside AND inside of the card.
I’ve started to create some MDS photo card designs, along with digital stamps and accessories I used to create them. Once I started designing these, I was having so much fun I just kept going.

______________________________________________________________________

MERRY CHRISTMAS PHOTO CARD:
This is was created using a 5×7″ photo card template (part of the MDS program). The photo was taken with my underwater camera, and I used the MDS Photo Effects to make it black and white. The “Merry Christmas” stamp is from the All Holidays digital set that comes included with MDS.
______________________________________________________________________

JOY TO THE WORLD PHOTO CARD:
I really had some fun with this card, the background is the brand new Deck the Halls Digital Kit (122176), and some Always Artichoke. Wide Oval & Dotted Ribbon (122151) punches. “Joy to the World” & the ornament topper are from the Jolly Jingles (123950) digital stamp brush set.

Join me for today’s video and learn several cool techniques using Stampin’ Up! Shimmer Paint, along with partial shapes from emboss folders. This is a perfect Christmas Holiday card, meets all of my criteria for “bulk stamping”: quick, easy to duplicate and mass produce and is gorgeous!!
The card’s sparkle and shine, and coppery looks of the “Joy at Christmas” scallop circle image are even more stunning in person.

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Paper Pinwheel Technique
Posted on November 11th, 2010, 2 responses.
Oooohh and aaahhh over this super cool paper pinwheel technique, demonstrated in today’s video tutorial. This was taught to me by my friend, April Lopez. To be honest, at first I was a little intimidated. It looked really complicated, but once she showed me I freaked out at how easy it was to do!
The 2 Step Bird punch in vanilla creates the look of a Christmas Dove on the front, and although this sample is shown in Christmas colors, you could easily make this for any occasion. I’ll also show you a cool tip for using your new Scallop Ribbon Border punch.
