Spooktacular Savings Today Only!

TODAY ONLY Stampin'Up! is offering a 15% discount on all their stamps!  This does include the Cookie Press stamps and the Single stamps (excludes bundles, hostess sets and digital stamp brushes)!!


Also, for one entire week (October 29 - November 5), to celebrate Digital Scrapbooking Day, there will be FREE downloads and 50% off all digital kits.  Go to my online store to access your FREE digital downloads!  If you have MDS, this is a great opportunity!  Don't miss out!

Single Stamps Available

From now until January 2nd, 2013, Stampin'Up! is making individual stamps from 3 of its stamp sets available for purchase!  They are only offered in Clear-Mount stamps.  Clear blocks are not included with the stamp, so you will need to purchase the correct size block if you don't already have one (the recommended size block is listed on the flyer).  Click on the links in the margin for the details.

MDS2 is sooo cool!

MDS2 has some incredible new features like the ability to color in line-art stamps as I've done to the graduation card below.  You can add color in layers and easily reorder the layers to achieve the look of shading.  This also makes it easier to fix any mistakes.

You can also apply more than one color to a stamp, or only color parts of the stamp as I've done with the "Happy Graduation" stamp below.  It's a little hard to see, but I used a darker red on the lower half of the word Graduation.

In this piece I colored the line-art stamp, painted and shaded the flowers, and cropped the stamp!

Just playing...

If you recently bought MDS, you should have already been contacted via e-mail to download your upgrade to MDS2.  If you've had MDS for a while, you can purchase the upgrade for $19.95 through my online store and download it immediately.  If you've never tried digital papercrafting, you can take advantage of Stampin'Up!'s 30-day FREE trial before purchasing the full version.  And currently Stampin'Up! is offering a 31% discount on select downloads and print products through August 31st!

Happy digital papercrafting and stamping!
