Sweet Shop #3 CAS

Talk about a 'clean and Simple' project, just look at the list of supplies for this card.  I love the colors in this paper and I used the Designer stickers to compliment the paper.  Another reason why Stampin'Up! products are so awesome.  They are all color coordinated with tons of embellishments, inks and paper to make your whole project jump off the page.  It's kinda of hard to tell from the photo but I used the glossy white card stock because I wanted a very bright white to go with this DSP paper. If you need a mini let me know.
I would love it if you liked this card and shared it with your FB or twitter friends....or better yet how about Pinterest?      


Supplies: Stamp Set: Happiest Birthday Wishes Hostess set;  Paper: Wisteria Wonder 122922, Glossy White card stock 102599, Sweet Shop DSP 125408;  Inks: Black Stazon 101406;  Embellishments:  Sweet Shop Designer Stickers 125584.

Sale-a-bration in a different color

If you look at the second card below you will see the exact same card only in a different color.  However, after I completed the card I discovered that the Marina Mist Ribbon below is retired.  You can substitute another ribbon in its place.  The 5/8" Very Vanilla Satin ribbon 117291 would be lovely.

Butterflys for Sale-A-Bration

I want to post as many SABs as I can for you to enjoy and CASE (copy and share everything), so that you can see how versatile, both the stamp sets and the embellishments are.  So much fun and so little time.  http://pattispad.stampinup.net

Another Sale-A-Bration sample

The selection for Sale-a-bration is so beautiful this year it is going to be hard for me to let go of these sets after the end of March, when I can no longer demo them.  I feel I need to make as many samples as I can now while I can still demo them.  On the other hand, if you like the sets that I am demonstrating for SAB you will need to get them before March 31st because after that date, they will be gone for good.  http://pattispad.stampinup.net

Paper Tole Technique

I learned this technique from a video by Sophia on Paper Crafters' Library.  It requires adding layers on layers to your project.  This was done with watercolor paper and I think it was a little too heavy for the paper tole technique so I will try it the next time with our Whisper White Card Stock as it is not as thick as  our 140# water color paper.  Anyway here is my attempt at Paper Tole.


Supplies:  Stamp Sets -Gnome Sweet Gnome 126537;  Paper -  Watercolor Paper 122959, Blushing bride 119796, Early Expresso 119686;  Inks - Black Stazon 101406, Soft Suede 115657, Blushing Bride 119786, Basic Gray 109120Poppy Parade 119782, Pool Party 122938;  Embellishments - Stampin’ Dimensionals 104430, Aqua Painter 103954, Neutral Brads 119736.
I would just love it if you like this on FB or one of the sites below.

Here's a few quick FAQ's for you--
Q: Is the trial version of the software different from the paid version of My Digital Studio Express?
A: No. When you order the My Digital Studio Express Trial, you will receive the full version of My Digital Studio Express. The software will function exactly the same as if you had purchased the software--you can design, purchase downloads, and print. The only difference is that you can only use the trial version for 30 days.

Q: Can I place a print order with the trial version?
A: Yes. You have full access to everything you can do in My Digital Studio for a full 30 days. This includes full designing functionality, printing, and the ability to purchase downloads.

Q: Do my 30 days start as soon as I download My Digital Studio?
A: Your 30 day trial period starts as soon as you launch the program. It does not matter when you download the program, your 30 days will start as soon as you actually launch (open) the program.

Q: Will the trial still last 30 days even if I order it in the middle or end of the month?
A: You can order the My Digital Studio Trial at any time. The trial period is not tied to the calendar. The trial period will begin as soon as you launch the program, and you will be able to use it for the next 30 days.

Q: What happens after the 30 day trial period is over?
A: When you launch the software after the 30 day trial period is over, you will be prompted to enter a product key. You will not be able to use the software again until you have entered a product key. You can get a product key by purchasing My Digital Studio or My Digital Studio Express.

Q: How do I purchase My Digital Studio after the trial period is over?
A: Simply add My Digital Studio (item 118108) or My Digital Studio Express (item 124483) to your next order. If you order My Digital Studio Express, you will not need to reinstall the software. A product key will be e-mailed to you; after you complete your purchase, just enter that product key when the program prompts you to. If you purchase the disc version of My Digital Studio, you will need to use the installation discs in order to access the included digital content. The installation wizard will walk you through the process, including entering the product key (which you’ll receive with your shipped discs). You will not lose any downloads or projects from your 30-day trial period.

Q: What happens to digital downloads I purchase during the 30 day trial period?
A: You will have continued access to any downloads you purchase during the trial period. If you choose to purchase the software, you will simply need to enter a product key, and you will be able to use all your downloads like normal. If you do not purchase the software, you will still have access to your downloads through your download manager, and you will be able to load them to the digital design software of your choice.

Q: Can I use My Digital Studio digital downloads in other design programs?
A: Yes. The My Digital Studio digital downloads will work with any digital design program.

Q: Will my saved projects be lost when the free trial ends?
A: You will not be able to edit any of your projects through My Digital Studio after the trial period has ended unless you purchase the software. If you do chose to purchase the software, you will be able to access all your projects. If you don’t choose to purchase the software, we recommend you save your projects as jpg files. You will then be able to use them like you use any of your jpg (picture) files.

Q: Can I have two free trials?
A: No. The My Digital Studio Express Trial will only work once. After your 30 days are over, you need to purchase the software to continue using the program.

Q: What if I don’t want to purchase the software at the end of the trial period?
A: You can uninstall the software at any time.

Q: How do I use My Digital Studio?
A: We have several videos and resources available for you on the training section of MyDigitalStudio.net that will help you learn how to use the program.
