Got Digi Stamps? Stampin' Up! Does!

Did you figure out how I made yesterday's Sweet Summer card without rubber stamps and ink? I used Digi Stamps! The Digital Stamps on the So Much to Sale-a-brate Digital Content CD (available as a free Sale-a-bration gift when you purchase $50+ in Stampin' Up! products) are designed to be used with My Digital Studio, but will also work with other design software.

So how did I make the card? I opened a Multiple Output canvas in My Digital Studio and "stamped" the image in Soft Suede. Then I printed it out on Whisper White cardstock and used it on my card just like I had stamped it with regular ink!

The beauty of Digital Stamps is that you can change the size of the image to fit your project. I love the images in the Sweet Summer Sale-a-bration stamp set, but they are kind of small. So I printed them a little larger and colored with my Stampin' Write markers to create this card:

If you like Digital Crafting, you should take a look at My Digital Studio. Even if you don't use the program itself, it includes over 2,000 elements -- $500 worth of digital content -- for only $79.99. And when you purchase My Digital Studio during Sale-a-bration, you'll qualify to get the So Much to Sale-a-brate Digital Content CD for FREE!

In fact, Stampin' Up! is releasing new digital content almost every week! All Digital Content is available to purchase online and can be immediately downloaded!

Here's another sample where I printed the Digital Stamp from the So Much to Sale-a-bration Digital Content CD and then colored it in with markers and put it on my card like a regular stamped image. I incorporated some of the other Sale-a-bration gifts: the Ice Cream Parlor DSP & Quick Accents and the Ice Cream Parlor Ribbon & Button Pack, and the So Happy For You stamp set. I love how everything coordinates! Don't you just want it all!?

Sweet Summer Sale-a-bration Card & Video

This 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" card caught my eye the first time I looked through the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2011 brochure. I copied it completely from the brochure.

Check out this video from Stampin' Up! to see how this card comes together.

Want to know a secret?! I made this card without using stamps and ink! Huh!? Can you guess how? I'll fill you in on my secret tomorrow and show you two more cards that I made using the same technique!
