Stamping with Michelle

Digital Downloads Tuesday-9/25

There are only a few new downloads this week, but boy are they cute!  Here are pictures of them:

You can access them for ordering on my website here.  I particularly like the Designer Rosettes and the Snowday Woodcuts.  Now that we can recolor embellishments, these can be made into any color you want!

Here's another MDS sample for you viewing pleasure as well:

I was just messing around a week or two ago, and I created this sample.  I started with a sketch and then I changed some of the colors and added a few embellishments, but it is mostly straight from the sketch.

Don't forget that you can download a free 30-day trial of My Digital Studio right on my website.

Happy Stamping!

Digital Download Tuesday September 18

It's Tuesday, so it's Digital Download Day!  You can find this weeks downloads here.  Here are pictures of them as well:

I'm a sucker for ribbon, digital or otherwise, so I'm thinking those Taffeta Trimmings will be added to my program real soon!

Along with the downloads, here's a sample to go with it:

This is a birthday card that I made for my father-in-law a couple of years ago.  I don't have a whole lot of masculine stamps, so I designed it in MDS.  Then, I printed it on my home printer and mounted it to cardstock.  I can't remember, but I think I may have added ribbon and brads also.

Don't forget that you can always download a free 30 day trial of MDS.  I've had a lot of fun playing with it, and I think you will too!

Happy Stamping!

Fall is in the air...

You can definitely feel that the weather is changing.  The nights are getting cooler and the air is cripser.  We've got some fabulous new products that will definitely spice up your fall stamping!

Materials: Wonderfall and Itty Bitty Banners

Card stock: Cajun Craze, Garden Green and Summer Starfruit and Early Espresso Core'dinations card stock

Ink: Cajun Craze, Garden Green and Summer Starfruit

Accessories: Big Shot and Woodgrain Embossing Folder, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, and Bitty Banners Framelits; Stampin' Sanding Block, Linen Thread, Stampin' Dimensionals

There are several new products to talk about on this card. First is the Core'dinations card stock.  Unlike our regular card stock, Core'dinations has a white core so you can tear and sand it for a great distressed look.  Core'dinations comes in three different colors, Cherry Cobbler, Gumball Green and Early Espresso, and you get twelve 12x12 sheets in your package for only $6.95!

The other thing I wanted to mention was the coordinating Wonderfall stamp set and Autumn Accents die.  The Autumn Accents is a Bigz die, which means that you can use it on a variety of materials.  However, it can be a bit tricky to line up your stamped image and have it cut perfectly.  The solution is to cut your card stock first.  Ink up your stamp and leave it face up.  Then gently placed the cut leaf on top of th stamp.  It sounds a lot harder than it is, but actually works quite well.

You can purchase all of these products and more by going to my website.  Click the Shop Now button on the left of the blog to go to my online store.  Don't forget that when you spend $40 this month, you can choose a free roll of 2012-2014 ribbon.  Additionally, when you place an online order that is at least $50, I will send you a free package of Rhinestones.  Once you have placed your order, be sure to email me and let me know so I can get your Rhinestones in the mail.

Happy Stamping!

Digital Download Tuesday September 4

Happy Tuesday!  It's digital day!

You can view the newest releases here and I've included a quick peek below:

I'm loving the Festive Blooms, and with the new ability to recolor embellishements, they can be any color you want!

I've also got a sample for you.  This is from a calendar I did a couple of years ago with pictures from my trip to Hawaii:

I loved how this calendar came out, and I was really sad when the year was over.  I ended up taking three of the pages out and framing them and hanging them in my hall.  They make me smile everytime I walk by!

Don't forget, you can try My Digital Studio for free for 30 days!  What have you got to lose!

Happy Stamping!

Free ribbon and a special offer from me!

Happy September!

Who likes free ribbon!  I do! I do!

For the month of September, for every $40 you purchase, you will receive your choice of ribbon in the new 2012-2014 In Colors for free!  I am absolutely loving this ribbon!

Here's a sample that uses this ribbon.  This is a card I was doing in my private card classes this month and was extremely popular:

Materials: Daydream Medallion and Petite Pairs

Card stock: Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals and Whisper White

Ink: Raspberry Ripple and Primrose Petals

Accessories: Primrose Petals 3/8" Stitched Satin ribbon, Large Oval punch, Scallop Oval punch, Basic Rhinestones, and Stampin' Dimensionals

This was such a quick and easy card, but is still eye catching.  You could whip out a whole batch of these real quick like and then have them on hand for any occasion that arises!

I've also decided to sweeten the deal a little bit.  When you place your $50 order online, in addition to your free roll of ribbon, I will send you a free package of the Basic Rhinestones!  That puts you well on your way towards being able to make this card!  This offer applies to online orders only, and after your have placed your order, you must email me to let me know.  Offer ends September 30.
