Q: Is the trial version of the software
different from the paid version of MDS 2?
A: No. When you order the MDS 2 Trial, you will receive the full version of MDS 2. The software will function exactly the same as if you had purchased the software--you can design, purchase downloads, and prints. The software in the MDS 2 Trial, MDS 2, and MDS 2+ is exactly the same. However, there is a difference in the amount of digital content included with each version of the software. The MDS 2 Trial includes almost $200 US (over $250 CAN) of digital downloads you can use during the 30-day trial period. Those downloads are not included with MDS 2, but they are included (along with many more downloads!) with MDS 2+.

Christmas Classes!
Each year,
as Christmas approaches, I offer two options for Christmas cards.
Option
1: Card classes in September, October,
and November where we make ten cards each class. Attend one class or attend them all.
Option
2: Saturday Stamp Camp in November,
where we make 30 cards and lunch is provided.
Free Crop!
As a special
thank you to those who attend any of my monthly card classes or scrapbooking
classes, I host a Saturday Free Crop, once a month, from 10 am to 4 pm.
You bring
all your own supplies and projects to work on while socializing. No teaching is involved and no supplies or tools are provided- this is simply a fun social day with the girls.
We have a
potluck lunch and everyone brings something to contribute. Tea, coffee and water are available all day.
Workshops are still your best opportunity!
At the heart
of Stampin’ Up! is our workshop experience.
If you have ever attended or hosted a workshop, you know it is different
from other parties.
#1 it is FUN! Being with your family and friends for a
night of laughs, muchies and cool ideas is always a good time!
#2 it is INTERSTING! There is nothing like seeing new ideas with
Stampin’ Up! products. Cards,
Scrapbooking, gifts, home décor- there is something for EVERYONE! From the
moment the ink hits the paper, guests are mesmerized at the simplicity of
rubber stamping and the beauty of what they can do.
#3 it is FREE and free is
always good! Yes you just can’t beat
free products! And you can earn as much
as you’d like at your party.
#4 HANDS ON EXPERIENCE- everyone
gets to give it a try and make a beautiful project to take home with them.
#5- it is EASY. You invite your family and friends, and you
provide a few snacks and I do the rest- all workshops are held at my home,
using my products and supplies, and afterward the mess is mine to clean
up….what could be better than that?
Let’s plan your workshop today.

Sketch Challenge!
This Month's Tutorial- Faux Diamonds!
Supplies Needed:
. Versa Mark ink
. Card Stock
. Stamping sponges
. Irridescent Ice embossing powder
. Heat Tool
. Optional: Powder Pal, Embossing Buddy
1. Begin by applying VersaMark® ink on card stock. We used the direct-to-paper technique for this Happy Birthday card, although you can also use stamping sponges to apply the ink (see Figure 1).
2. Sprinkle Iridescent Ice embossing powder all over the card stock (see Figure 2), shake the excess powder off (see Figure 3), and heat set (see Figure 4). Be careful not to overheat.
3. You're left with a glistening piece of card stock that you can use as background paper or a layer under your focal point. If you're going to adhere anything to card stock accented with this faux-diamond look, you'll need to use a strong adhesive; we suggest Sticky Strip or Glue Dots. This ensures that whatever accent you are using stays in place.
Idea to note: You can use this same faux-diamond technique to add a splash of sparkle to stamped images as well. For our birthday cake, we used the VersaMarker® on specific areas, then sprinkled the iridescent powder on those areas, shook the excess powder off, and heat set. This look dresses up any card, gift, or project.
