My Digital Studio Challenge - Sketch

It's another Monday and My Digital Studio Challenge hosted by Heather Summers and Kimberly VanDiepen.

This week Kimberly posted a sketch for us to work with.



This is my page featuring my brother-in-law and sister-in-law and their three children.  All of the elements are from the Lemonade Stand MDS content disc from the 2013 Sale-a-bration promotion.

Digital Design with Kimberly and Heather - All Time Faves (Card 2)

The second card I made using the All Time Faves kit from Heather Summers was pretty quick to put together and then to recreate in My Digital Studio.

This is the card using the supplies in the kit.  It looks like I need to get out my adhesive remover before sending this one out!


And here is the one I created in My Digital Studio.  I couldn't find the shape Heather used for the sun so I created my own.  I started with a scallop circle punch and edited it to make the pointy rays.  I layered two of these punches and then just rotated one of them a little bit.

I printed it out onto glossy photo paper (should have shut off the flash) and used Calypso Coral card stock for the base.  Added a button and a bit of baker's twine and the card was done.

Digital Design with Kimberly and Heather

When Kimberly VanDiepen and Heather Summers offered their 10 day online class they also offered a kit containing all of the pieces to create three cards they had designed using elements from My Digital Studio and then exporting them to their ecutters.

I signed up for both the class and the card kit.  I decided I wanted more of the cards and not having an ecutter I decided to see how I could reproduce them.



This is the first of the three cards included in the kit.  The white background piece with the heart cut out, the pieces for the little figures and the red heart were all elements from My Digital Studio that had been exported to the ecutter and then cut out.


This is the card I created using My Digital Studio.  I created the focal image in MDS and then printed and cut it out.  I then added a punched out heart and put my card together.

Digital Design with Kimberly and Heather - Day 10

Day 10 was the last day of the class and Heather demonstrated a card she created using My Digital Studio and her ecutter.

This is the card I created using My Digital Studio


I don't have an ecutter so I printed my project and created this "hybrid" card.  The only "real" products are the glittery heart, the baker's twine and the button.

This is my "hybrid" card for Day 9 of the class (see THIS post)

Digital Design with Kimberly and Heather - Day 9

Day 9 of the Digital Design with Kimberly and Heather class demonstrated how to export stamp brush images (SVG format) from My Digital Studio to an ecutter to create a card.  The card was also created  in My Digital Studio which is what I have done.

Digital Design with Kimberly and Heather - Day 5

I have completed another page with photos from Nan's 90th birthday. Thanks Kimberly VanDiepen and Heather Summers for your Design with Kimberly and Heather online class! 

Day 5 focused on the current trend to use hexagons. I copied Heather's layout, but changed out the papers and embellishments.

Most elements are from the Topsy Turvy Celebrations.
