Upsy Daisy Card

I'm still having fun using my new My Digital Studio software, new from Stampin' Up!  I plan to use the software to help design cards, so this is what I came up with for my first. I was having trouble figuring out how to add card stock layers, but then I tried adding a square punch, enlarging it, and filling it with either a color or a designer paper and viola, it worked!  I can see this being a really cool tool to use to design stamp camp cards and scrapbook pages - without wasting paper on a design that ends up not working out.  In MDS, I can build it first, then cut card stock and designer paper to create the real thing.  Soooo cool!

Fabulous Workshop!

After work tonight several of my coworkers, former coworkers, and my downline, Heather, joined me for a workshop featuring the Upsy Daisy stamp set. I purchased the class instructions from Andrea Walford (see post below) and tonight we had a great time making her four cards, the two additional cards I designed that coordinated with Andrea's, and then finally the cute card box Andrea designed. Everyone had a great time, and their cards and box turned out great! I hope to do a workshop each month, featuring various projects from cards to scrapbook pages, to that cute DVD tin scrapbook that was recently featured on Splitcoast. I should have brought my camera with me to get a few candids, but forgot it at home. Had a great time, anyhow! Have a great weekend. I'm hoping to find some time to do more stamping as I finally got Inspired by Nature and I can't wait to put some ink on that baby!!

Upsy Daisy Card Class

Happy Monday! Earlier this month I purchased a card class from the talented Andrea Walford. She offers a demonstrator card planning service and provides a TON of information and handouts each month for her Demo to Demo projects. I'm having a card class for my coworkers on Friday, so over this past weekend, I made my samples and prepared my kits. After making the four cards that came with Andrea's class kit, I felt that there was plenty of room left in the cute card box for two more cards, so I designed two more!

The top image shows Andrea's cute card box, two of her tall cards and one of mine. The next image shows Andrea's cute card box with her two wide cards and the one I designed. The next to last image shows the tall card I designed, and the bottom image is the wide card I designed.

On Friday, the ladies will be making six cards and the cute box! I'm so excited, as I currently have 9 coming to my class after work! Now if Friday would only get here faster, I'd be happy!
