MDS Magnet

Happy Hump Day! Today I have a save the date magnet using My Digital Studio. Yes, another wedding related project. Next week I hope to have some non wedding stuff again. I just got My Digital Studio this week and was so excited to play with it. I had a request to make a save the date magnet sample for a possible client for this Saturday. So I racked my brain to figure out how to do it in a week. Luckily, my digital studio came just in time. In the meantime, I also found magnet sheets that you could feed through your printer and cut into any size you want. Perfect! I didn't have a whole lot of time to play around yesterday but this is what I came up with. I plan to make one more sample this week if I can. So far I LOVE the program. I can see that it will be a lot of fun to use. It would definitely cut down on the time of stamping each one separately. For this magnet which is 2.5 x 3, I used a DSP from the Summer Home pack in Baja Breeze. I sized the curly label punch to the size I wanted and added a shadow behind it. Then I added the leave images from Always in Kiwi Kiss. The kraft piece is what I will adhere the magnet to when it gets mailed out. I didn't have a lot of time, so I just did a quick design on the kraft piece. I didn't want to make it to elaborate anyway, since that would just get thrown out and you would just have the magnet on the fridge. The pictures below are a close up of the magnet and how it looks on the fridge (don't mind all the clutter on my fridge, lol!)I was just so excited that they magnet came out how I hoped. Just think of the other options that you can do by using the magnet sheet...business cards, a list of phone numbers, etc. So what do you think?

Another Save the Date

Hello! I have another Save the Date for you. This is just a sample I did to show a friend of my brother's. He has several friends that are engaged that are looking for Save the Dates, so I made up a few samples to show them. I have one or 2 more that I will post this week. This one uses Elements of Style from the Summer Mini (which will be available May 1st!) The colors are Baja Breeze and Pacific Point, which will be returning with the new catalog in July. I stamped the large flower as the background on the Baja Breeze cardstock. The bird is stamped in Pacific Point and is cut out. I rounded the corners on the white cardstock and added a rinestone to the bird. (After looking at the picture, it looks like I need to change the blade on my paper cutter). That's it from me today, have a good day!

Save the Dates

Happy Friday! It's been a few days since my last post. I've been busy busy with all sorts of craftiness. I've been working on swaps for a group I'm a part of (can't post those yet), lots of invitations and then I just did some save the dates for my own wedding. These were actually pretty quick and easy to do. These are similar to one of the invite examples I had done. We still haven't decided on our invitation yet but I think we're leaning towards something like this. The stamp set used is not SU but everything else is. There is a new set in the Summer Mini that is similar so I may use something like that (I just haven't ordered the set yet). The background swirl on the chocolate chip paper is from Elements of Style...a new set from the Summer Mini. The butterfly is from Live Your Dream, which is retired. The following colors were used: Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Ruby Red and Pumpkin Pie. I printed the info on a piece of confetti cream die cut with the Top Note die. I had fun making these because they were fairly simple and look cute. If only I could spend ALL day making cards, invites and crafts, lol! That would be the life! Have a great weekend!
