Welcome to the Pals February Blog Hop. This month we are excited to share with you what we love about Stampin’ Up! – our stamps, tools, accessories and techniques.
You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Donna Kopenski at craftycardmaker, #15 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.
If I wrote that I only had one favorite thing about Stampin’ Up! I would be a straight up liar! I have so many and there is only room for one on this hop.
Right now my favorite tool is My Digital Studio and you can get it for a free 30-day trial! It took me a little bit to get to know it better and there’s a secret that I’ll reveal at the end of my post so you too can feel comfortable using it… LOL.
These sweet little hearts are from the Punch Shapes (118853) collection and the designer series paper is so easy to add, you will be amazed. I used the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper (Digital Download 136782).
To add the finishing touches simply add your favorite embellishments and watch the card come to life right before your very eyes.
I added Basic Rhinestones (119246), Gold Sequin Trim (132983), and a very small strip of Baked Brown Sugar 3/8″ Ruffle Stretch Trim (130022).
The Thanks sentiment comes to you from the Thank You Kindly Stamp Brush Set – Digital Download (118826) and think about it… you can color it any color you choose without an ink pad! Imagine that!
You can save the card and print it up in a jiffy next time you need one. Current demonstrators not using MDS, your missing out. Your customers will love your “thank you for your order cards” made from MDS!
My Digital Studio Secret Revealed
Practice, practice, practice. It will make perfect… LOL. You can also do what I did and score yourself the Finest Simplicity Kit – Digital Download (135912) and MDS your heart away!
The next stop is Natalie Bradley at Natalie Bradley Events, #17, on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you next month.

Maggie…your use of MDS inspires me! Lovely card.
Cute, cute, cute!
Sweet is right Maggie! It’s a precious card! I should use MDS more!
really sweet, maggie.
hugs, m
Never would have thought this was an mds card. I’ve yet to take the leap into MDS. Your card may have convinced me otherwise.
How sweet is this with the ruffled edge and scattering of sequins!
Maggie, you have inspired me once again to give MDS more exposure!! This hybrid is top quality! I enjoy playing with MDS but have yet to print anything. That is going to change!! TFS…
Maggie/BFF, love your CAS hybrid card! I am also learning to really rely on MDS for details, especially sentiments, that you just can’t possibly get anywhere else. And there’s no MESS to clean up! lol Super-cute card!!
Never would have guessed this was MDS at first glance! Love your hybrid card!
What a sweet card! MDS is an amazing product. The touch of bling finished it perfectly. Another great one from Maggie!!!
Love this hybrid, Maggie! Adorable!
Cute heart shelf! Love the tip of having cards ready to go in MDS and then adding just a little after. Woo hoo!
