Today’s lesson is how to create these gorgeous boxes using the new Mini Project box downloads from Stampin Up. You don’t even need the My Digital Studio program to make these stinkin’ cool boxes, just the download from my store. Simply print off my instruction sheet, download the templates and you’re on your way!
The instruction sheet gives step by step instructions on how to use and print your template on the computer (both My Digital Studio and MS Word instructions). Then the video demonstrates how easy it is to put your box together, once you’ve printed. We’ll also be using the Fabulous Beautiful Butterflies Embosslit in the Big Shot to make the amazing, shimmery butterflies.

This darling wedding / party favor box was ssuper easy to create! Stampin Up just released a new download for My Digital Studio this week called “Mini Project Boxes”. It was so super easy, this took seconds. The paper is Stampin Up Bride Specialty Paper (115669). Which is an elegant, foiled card stock (also comes in ivory, “Bridesmaid” and black, “Groom“). Basic Jumbo Grommets (114348) and Basic Black 5/8″ Grosgrain ribbon (115605).
The Mini Project Boxes gives you the best of both digital and physical papercrafting! It’s a “hybrid” project.

Not only is it gorgeous, it only took a few minutes! After creating the first stationary design, I simply duplicated it and then changed the background paper to one of My Sweet Pea kit’s 48 fun paper patterns. I have written instructions below, it’s that simple.

How’d she do that? This card looks like it has several layers of photos, designer paper and stamps…but in reality it’s 1 flat layer, created in the My Digital Studio software program and printed as a glossy photo. The photo was then layered on chocolate chip card stock! It’s amazing. Even in person it looks layered, and the brads and buttons look so real you want to touch them hehehehe.
This was created by my friend and downline Anita. She’s sooooo talented, not to mention her beautiful family. She even created the inside panel in MDS (My Digital Studio), layering the digital curly label punch on designer paper and adding the text, then printed it and attached to the inside of the card.
Hybrid Stamping: The art of mixing card stock and embellishments with digital stamping is called “hybrid”. It’s another way to use MDS, in addition to the professional printing services that come with it, you can also print yourself at home and create these cool projects.
I made calendars for our family, and all of the grandparents in Stampin’ Up’s My Digital Studio software. The video below shows some of the customizing I did, and how cool the professional printing is. Click the SHARE PROJECT tab in the program for both professional printing and home printing options right from the MDS program.
CALENDAR DETAILS: I used the digital Hoppy Days scrapbook kit template & 2010 Calendar template for the basic layouts (I’ll post the steps to do this below), these templates come with the MDS software program. I customized some of the layouts by changing photo layouts and adding backgrounds to the calendar. I added a Birthday Candle stamp, and name for each family member’s birthday (this might be hard to see in images). I changed the background paper of the calendar date sections to match each page above it (for example when the background page was real red, the date section below is real red).
Finished size is 8 1/2″ x 11″ landscape. MDS Calendars also come in 8 1/2″ x 11″ portrait X 12″x12″.
Pick which scrapbook layout template you’d like to use and then choose “Next” {program will create project}
Click “Insert” > “Add Other Templates” {Template list will open}
Click on the Calendar Template of your choice, then click “Next“
{Under Page Arrangement Section} REMOVE the photo pages, so all you have showing is the 12 monthly calendars
Click “Next” and import monthly calendars (they will import at the end of the project)
Drag the thumbnail images of each page at the bottom of MDS, monthly calendar date page will be after the page you want above it. You may need to copy (or insert) a few more scrapbook pages to fill the calendar.
Here are some super cute Christmas card ideas using My Digital Studio software from Stampin’ Up.
CARD DETAILS: The first card uses: the Holly Jolly Christmas Digital Stamp set, modern label punch, old olive ribbon and knots as well as card stock & designer paper layers (these are all included with original MDS program). The 2nd and 3rd cards use the Christmas Jingle Digital Scrapbook kit and designer paper (also included with original MDS software).
MDS TIP: Did you know that you can create a cool project in MDS as your sample, then create the real thing from your sample? This way you’ll know exactly what it will look like before you start cutting any card stock.
Here’s another tip: If you didn’t get your cards out yet, or maybe you are running really, really late, you can use MDS to create your card digitally and send via email. You can even add a photo to these and make photo cards. Swap out Santa for a heart and it can be a Valentine!
I created our family Christmas card using Stampin’ Up’s My Digital Studio Software this year! I loved being able to add a bunch of photos and captions to the inside of the card. Confession, I really, really wanted to type a family Christmas letter in there but I just couldn’t get it written…so my apologies to the family, we’ll just have to tell you about our year in person hehehe.
I began the front of the card with an MDS template, and then added a picture and changed the designer paper. Then I created a custom design for the inside, and used a photo template for the round pics inside.
The printed size will by 5×7. I just had them professionally printed through the My Digtial Studio program (online) and had the shipping expedited so they will be here this week!! Yeah. They’ll even come with envelopes!!
Join me today for My Digital Studio 101 Basics - the video tutorial. Whether you just purchased the BRAND NEW Stampin’ Up My Digital Studio software, or want to but have been waiting to see how it works…this video will help you get started. The video is much easier to see then my first MDS tutorial, and you’ll find this more helpful.
In this video, I’ll be creating this digital scrapbook page. You’ll learn how to import photos, stamp, punches, text and paper to your MDS (My Digtal Studio) project. AS well as changing colors and adding drop shadows.
I’ll be demonstrating how the program is so easy to use, you don’t need to know your left from right to make beautiful creations in it! It’s entertainment, as well as education.
I love the picture, it’s from a recent Stampin’ Up Founder’s Circle trip of my buds Patty Bennett, Dawn Griffith, Tiffany Bauer, Ann Clemmer and myself. We had so much fun (thanx for the pic Dawn!!).
I’ve done it! My very first (of many) My Digital Studio software video tutorials! Part 1 is an introduction to MDS (My Digital Studio) and creating a photo album using a pre-designed template and the picture auto-fill feature. All of the products shown in this video came with the original MDS program, with the exception of the Medallion stamp that is an “add on” download (you can download this in my store). You’ll also see how to add embellishments, text and create dimension using shadows.
I apologize for it ending abruptly, I had some technical difficulties. Stay tuned for more MDS tutorials and learn how to add photos and create pages manually, and learn basic and advanced digital media techniques.
I used the new Stampin Up My Digital Studioto create my customer “wish list” this season, on top of everything else, MDS makes the most amazing flyers!

Last week some of my team and I went on a road trip to a Stampin’ Up! Regional event in Portland, ME. One of my gals, Ellen, drove all the way from Maryland to meet us there!! I think she gets the prize the longest travel, and it was soooo worth it. We had the BEST time, it was so much fun. Swapping, stamping, laughing and gabbing.
I gave a “workshop wow” presentation, tomorrow I’ll share a video tutorial of the technique and one of my presentation projects. It’s pretty darn cool and super cute:)
This is a scrapbook page of some of our pictures I created in just a few minutes in My Digital Studio. I am in love with this program, it’s so easy to make super cool projects like this, that I may actually get caught up on my scrapbooking! Imagine that.
Do you enjoy photos in your Christmas and holiday cards? Check out these beautiful works of digital stamping art, made with Stampin’ Up’s My Digital Studio software.
