Bells & Boughs – the MDS way

Hi Stampers This is our Christmas card for this year.  It's very simple and was done using the My Digital Studio.  I wish you could see it in person because it came out a lot better than I expected! Oh, maybe you will get to see them if you are on my Christmas List (LOL)! I used the Holly Image from the Deck the Halls Photocard Digital Kit and the Vintage… Read More »

Eclectic Overlays

Hi Stampers Today's card was made using the Eclectic Overlays Stamp Brush Set from the latest digital downloads.  When I first saw this, it was love at first sight!  But then I love all things vintage.

Winter Post

Hi Stampers Send your love this Christmas season with the Winter Post stamp set. Mix the vintage and modern images in this set for post cards, scrapbook pages, or handmade cards with a unique twist. This set was the first stamp set in Shelli’s Signature Collection.  How about that! I guess you would call this a hybrid card since the background paper is from the Music Notes Stamp Brush Set   and was… Read More »

Hi Stampers! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Today's card features the cutesy image of the little girl pulling a sled from the Greeting Card Kids Stamp Set.  I love the vintage look of all the images in this stamp set especially the little girl holding the heart. They remind me of the coloring books I use to color in when I was a wee slip of a girl! (LOL).  In… Read More »

Sorry, but it's not Superman!  I made this card and tried to make a front door, but my dear sweet hubby said it didn't look like a door!  It looked like a window. … Read More »
