I absolutely LOVE this card! This particular one was made by Antonella D. in Monday's class.

Ingredients include: Twitterpated DSP, Mixed Bunch Stamp Set, Blossom Punch, Bird Builder Punch, and Language of Friendship Stamp Set. I especially LOVE the Baja Breeze PLEATED Ribbon!

What do YOU think???

Today in my Technique and Punch classes, I had several stampers that 'changed it up a bit' on the POP UP Technique Cards. It's so great to see their creative juices flowing! :)

Here was my sample:

and here's what BETH R. did to 'change it up' and turn it into a Valentine Card -- How LOVELY!:

 She used the LABELS FRAMELITS found in the Occasions Mini Catalog along with the SPRINKLED EXPRESSIONS - one of the the FREE stamps sets you can receive with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration!

I'll share the POP UP template tomorrow. Let me know of any questions!

Here's a cute Calendar bookmark that I put together for my Stamp Club members using the Attic Boutique Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I searched for Bookmark Calendar and found the template on Splitcoast.

These are Thank You's that the kids sent out (or are currently sending out) for their Christmas presents...... :)

The top one with the edge punched is the 'girl' thank you and the one withOUT the punched edge is the 'boy' thanks.  :)

I used one of my FAVORITE Designer Series Papers - Twitterpated - from the Occasions Mini --- LOVE IT! ( see the 'grey' paper in the pic background -- that's Twitterpated, too!)

Simple, but classy!

This month, love is in the air! So reignite your passion for stamping and papercrafting while creating tokens of affection for those you love and care about. Stamps, ink, and paper are the perfect way to send the message that you are thinking of someone and just how special they are to you. Just add a few accessories and you’ll have a lovely gift in no time. Need some inspiration to get you started? Here are just a few ideas ...ANYTIME ideas, not just for Valentine's Day. :)   :)

*  A card made with the new P.S. I Love You stamp set (#125460 wood/#125462 clear) and tucked into a briefcase or lunch bag is sure to bring a smile to the recipient’s face.

*  Short on time but don’t want to scrimp on style? Try the Designer Cuts Cards & Envelopes Set (#125414). Just add a little Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz (#125580) or Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details, and you’ll have a dazzling card in no time at all.

*  Crazy about hearts? Then you’ll love creating all sorts of projects with the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits die (#125596) and the brand new Hearts Collection Framelits dies (#125599). These are great for creating embellishments and frames for cards, scrapbook pages, and all kinds of packages.

*  Create sweet-smelling sachets with the Twitterpated Designer Fabric (#125412). Embellish them with coordinating Twitterpated Designer Buttons (#125579) and some 3/8” Pleated Satin Ribbon (Blushing Bride #125570).

*  Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to share your love on cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. We have three punches you are sure to adore. You can glue punched shapes directly onto your projects, sew or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect. One of the cutest is the Small Heart Punch (#117193).

So are you all revved up and ready to stamp? Then contact me right away and I’ll make sure that you have everything you need for creations everyone will love.

Q: Can I get the My Digital Studio Express Trial on a disc?

A: You can see the system requirements for My Digital Studio here.

Q: How do I order the My Digital Studio Express Trial?
A: You can order My Digital Studio Express through TONJA's online store. You can order the free trial by itself, or you can add it to an order with stamping supplies or digital downloads.

If you are a new 'Stamping Friend', you will need to create an account.

Q: How do my I install the My Digital Studio Express Trial software after I have ordered it?
A: You can access your My Digital Studio Express Trial download through the Downloads section of your account. Make sure you select Mac or Windows, and the download and install wizards will walk you through the rest of the process.

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. The product key prompt will include a link to the software page of MyDigitalStudio.net, which will tell you where to order the software.

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: Are there other free My Digital Studio downloads available?
A: We do occasionally offer free My Digital Studio downloads. These are generally promotions that run for a short amount of time, and will be announced in a current update. Download some of our free digital downloads for the 2010 In Color Card Stock and Designer Series Papers. You can find links to those downloads here.

Q: Will My Digital Studio work on my iPad?
A: No. We do not have a My Digital Studio app at this 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.

**February Technique & Punch Classes**

A 'shout out' to my Mari Sue who turns 11 1/2 today! YES - we celebrate 1/2 birthdays in my house ...for the kids, anyway :). No presents, but we do have a celebratory meal of their choice -- Mari Sue is very easy as far as that goes and I'm making PANCAKES for supper!  She already feels as if she's gotten a present since she found out an IHOP is going in down the street. :)

Anyway -- the super great Stampin' UP! news is that starting TODAY, you can receive a 30-day FREE TRIAL of the My Digital Studio! How wonderful is that!!! This matches perfectly with  my MDS CLASS on this MONDAY, FEB 6th -- details HERE. I still have room, so you can let me know by Friday if you can make one of the class sessions.

My Digital Studio Trial Details:

You can download the software and access the free trial just as you would a Stampin' Up! digital download by downloading it from TONJA's ONLINE STORE. Item #129600 or you can click the 'button' for it in the right corner of the store page.

What do you do once you try it and like it?
Once the 30-day free trial period is over, you can purchase the downloadable or disc version of the software to continue using it. You'll simply open up the trial version you already have on your computer, and will be prompted to enter the product registration key you received after purchasing the software. (You'll receive this key via e-mail if you purchase the downloadable version, and you'll find it along with your shipped software if you purchase the disc version.)

Here's an invitation I made a while ago for my Hostess Tea using My Digital Studio -- I use if for SOOOO many things: cards, scrapbook pages, tags, calendars, invites, etc. !!!!!!

Please contact me with questions about this 30-Day FREE Trial or if you can make it to the class on Monday. tonja@stampingwithtonja.com
