Summer Flowers in Chcolate

This is the third sample of the My Digital studio cards. This would make a good "Masculine Card". It is so quick and easy to create. I love the shadowing of the design, which is built right in to the digital paper.

Enjoy.

Summer Daises

The Gerber Daises of this simmer packet of Digital paper I think is my favorite.

Summer Flowers in Blue


This is a close up of the blue "digital paper". I love how these came out.

Summer Flowers

These are the "Summer" digital papers available for purchase at Stampin Up. With the help of Patty Bennett's tutorial I was able to create cards from inspiration on her Demonstrator blog.
this was so easy to do and lighting fast. I used scrap box card stock for the layers and left over scrap ribbon from many other projects. The words are from a "Brush kit" included in the "My Digital Studio Software".

PAPER: Su White, and Scraps for layers
NO INK
ACCESSORIES: Su Wings Embosslit, liquid dimensional paint, SU Linen Thread, Antique Brads,Butterfly Embossing Folder, Scrap ribbon.

Fall Splendor


Here is another sampling of My digital Studio paper and Stamps. See other post for recipe details. Only on this one I used an acorn punch, which I received also last year as a gift. The "Welcome" words are from a stamp set in my stash of many stamps.

Autumn Splendor

A year a full year I owned Stampin Up's "My digital Stdio Sealed. Richard was diagnosed with cancer when I received my free gift of "My Digital Studio".from a hostess workshop. It stayed sealed in my studio for a year. WOW!!!
But loving the use and cost effectiveness of Digital Paper I decided to plunge in and learn it. Quite a user friendly program. After carefully studying many SU Demos blogs on the program I was able to do this card quickly. Thank you Patty Bennett for your inspiration and tutorials. http://pattystamps.com/pattys_stamping_spot/my-digital-studio-cards/. What I enjoy is that I can still hand make a card and utilize the computer as well. Now a whole new world of inspiration.

Note: I printed the paper on an HP Laser Printer and I picked the color Really Rust. It does not match the card stock color in real life but I didn't care because I used it combination with another type of SU card stock and was very very pleased with the results.

RECIPE:
STAMPS: SU Autumn Splendor, SU Season by Season(retired)
INK: SU Really Rust and SU Early Expresso
PAPER: SU Chocolate Chip, My Digital Studio Designer Paper "Textile", SU Cajun Craze
ACESSORIES: Scrap Brown Organdy Ribbon and Gold

Call Me


Digital Stamping is hot and quite fun. This is a Digital image from a really neat artist. I couldn't resist her. She is colored with Alcohol markers. The paper is from a Digital Scrapbook kit with a school theme and printed on smooth "white" card stock. The Telephone paper is actually from a Yellow Pages Book, which are hard to find these days. I put crystal effects on her lips for a "glossy lip". I hand drew her stockings.

Enjoy!

RECIPE: Digital Stamp Image from SSD. Digital Paper for ABC's, SU Black Card stock, SU White, organdy ribbon. Yellow Pages book. Alcohol Markers, SU Crystal Effects.
