Stamping "The Rock" with Lynda

30% off lots of Scrapping-related Stampin' Up!® products!

"Hot off the Press!"......... and .........

"This just in!".........

(and other exclamations like that, lol)

We've just learned this morning that Stampin' Up! is beginning their "formerly-scheduled-for-May-only " scrapping-related 30%-savings sales TWO DAYS EARLY!  Yes, that's right, May's big 30%-off sale starts TODAY!  

So that means you have 2 extra days (today and tomorrow ) to take advantage of these super-special 30% discounts (including stamp sets, My Digital Studio print items [yes, 30% off lots of those, too - WOW!], as well as digital download bundles) - and you'll be able to start working with those products even that much earlier. (Even this weekend, in the case of the digital downloads.) 

And here's the really KEWL thing:  you'll still be able to take advantage of April's Sneak Peek promotion  AND pick up those last items from your Occasions Mini Catalog wishlist before THOSE opportunities expire tomorrow (Saturday), as well.

But there's no time to dilly-dally if you want to take advantage of all of this at once...... just jump online and order your goodies right from your computer, and they'll deliver right to your door. And as always, if your order combines to reach $150 in product, you'll get to choose free product (called Stampin' Rewards) - which is equivilent to hostess benefits if ordering through me directly.

Oh, and there's one more thing:  If you've been thinking about acquiring the My Digital Studio software AND are open to showing your friends the Stampin' Up! product line, you'll be happy to learn that the MDS demonstrator starter kit is ALSO on sale for 30% off!

Please note that even though the prices at my online store may not show the discounted prices at first, the discounted price should show up once you place that item into your shopping bag. 

Questions?  Call me at the number shown at the top of this page - and then help yourself to a bundle of savings!

Quick like a bunny! Easter treat class

 


So hey!  I wasn't too sure it was gonna happen, but I've finally reached a space in my schedule where I can stick in this class I've talked about - so if you've got a couple hours to spare between now and Easter, I'll prep the "stuff" and let's DO it!

So here's how it's gonna go:  Pick either tomorrow (Friday) evening (between 6:30 pm and 10:00) - or Saturday morning (between 9 and let's say about 1:00), and come make *up to 4* of these adorable treat holders for somebunny special!  Everything's included - except the candy and your SNAIL adhesive (don't forget to bring your SNAIL, btw) - for just $10 (that's "total", not "each").  

Or get your class totally FREE with a $20 product order placed that day. 

So grab a friend and let's hop to it!  I know it's last-minute, but call me up quick and let me know when you're coming, and I'll get your supplies prepared. And YOU'll have something darling to share come Easter morning! 

My Digital Studio just got BETTER!

Stampin' Up!® just released their latest update to My Digital Studio (our digital designing software), and added a bunch of oft-requested new features!  

Now, one of MY biggest wishes has long been the ability to resize a grouped batch of elements.  And hurray! Now you CAN!  Look at these 3 identical flowers - each one a different size......

With this brand-new My Digital Studio feature, this was a piece of cake to construct:  I simply designed the flower once (2 leaves and the main flower - from the same stamp brush set, and a circle punch which was filled with brown and layered behind the yellow flower to make the brown highlights).  And then I "grouped" those 4 elements of that first flower and copy/pasted it 2 more times to give me three flowers altogether.

Ok.  So far, pretty routine, right?  

But THEN, here's where it really got cool:  Instead of having to resize and adjust each and every single element individually (meaning 4 elements per flower times 3 flowers for a total of 12 resize/reposition actions), I simply grabbed each still-grouped flower by the corner of it's brand-new selection box and stretched (or shrank) it to the size I wanted! Hot dog!  I'm so excited about the possibilities of this new capability!

Just think....... need a title with alphabet letters half or twice their native size?  Now you can just set your title letter by letter in its native size - then group the whole title, grab its corner selection handle and stretch!  Oh my gosh, when I think of the hours I've spent resizing each and every letter one by one and making certain each one was precisely the same size as its neighbor while still remaining in alignment........!  (Yes, I do have a bit of OCD in me, lol.)

But get this!...........This is only ONE of the awesome new enhancements you'll find in this free MDS update!

So if you've got My Digital Studio installed (and updated beyond the very first update Stampin' Up! ever published - "way back when"), all you have to do right now is open up your MDS software, click on the "help" tab, and then download and install this newest update.  It's FREE!  

On the other hand if you've NEVER updated your MDS software yet, then you'll need to follow the instructions outlined at www.MyDigitalStudio.net - under the RESOURCES tab - to accomplish your first update.  But THEN you'll be able to grab all future updates (including THIS one) at the Help tab within your software.

So what are you WAITING for?!?  Go update your MDS and start exploring what creative new things you can do with it - even easier than ever!  :-) 

ETA:  Oh!  In my excitement and gushing about being able to change the SIZE of a grouped item, I completely forgot to mention you can also ROTATE the grouped elements, too!  So in my sample, the 3 flowers COULD have easily been facing in 3 different directions.
