Farewell to BLISS

Sale-a-bration is over - and that means farewell to some loved stamps.  The stamp sets that are available during SAB are only available while the sale is on.  Once it is over, the stamps are retired- never to be seen again.  I am usually fine with that idea - but BLISS changed my mind - I nearly cried when I realized that it would not be back again!  I love this set....  I just can't get enough.  I am sure it will still get plenty of use at my stamp table.

This card was the card the ladies made at Annette's workshop in March.  They loved the feeling of creating something so beautiful!

The card was a direct CASE from Amy Celona. I saw her card and KNEW I had to make it. So, I realized I couldn't improve perfection and just left it as she designed it.  The color is Baja Breeze - a very nice shade of bluish green.  I just used Basic Black to keep it simple.  A little tidbit of Springtime Vintage DSP and inked edges and you have a very vintage looking card.

Farewell Bliss......................

Technique card for march club - SWIPED!

had the ladies learn the Baby Wipe Swipe technique.  I wanted a fun masculine card and chose the colors Elegant Eggplant, Garden Green and Pumpkin Pie.The sets I used wereLook Who's Turning and a Sale-a-Bration set that you can earn for FREE - Punch Bunch.  I had to use this little owl - he is just so cute!

I always love showing how you can make your own patterned paper or backgrounds with stamps or other simple things. 

I was super excited when I realized that I could use this card for a bunch of birthdays in my family this year!  It is fun to use this set to spotlight the age of the receiver, and I seriously searched my birthday list to see if I had any 12 year olds, 23 year olds, 34 year olds... etc  I was THRILLED to see that I have a set of nieces and nephew who are turning 34!!!!  Guess what card THEY are getting?!

MDS commercial

So here is a day break from all the reasons why YOU need to own My Digital Studio.  I couldn't get photos of the last 2 club cards from February since my camera was stolen, however ... I have replaced the camera and got the photos taken - so before I forget - here they are!

The first is a technique card using the marble background technique.  I used the colors Pear Pizzazz, Regal rose and Baja Blue.  There is only one stamp set used - and it is Word Play.  I also used the new Sweet Button embosslit.  The adorable buttons are actually die cut!  The addition of black stitch marks make this card pop!

This card used my favorite set out of the Sale A Bration flier - Bliss.  It is gorgeous and so elegant.  I got my color inspiration from the Designer Series Paper Elegant Soire.  It is beautiful.  I taught the ladies how to make a bow without tying it - I found this wonderful idea from Lee Conrey - she posted a great tutorial on Stamping 411 which I copied and taught my club.  They all loved it!
