18th Birthday

Hello everyone! Here are the favors that I made for my cousin's 18th birthday. I made some key chains for her friends and family to take home. And to display them, I found this jewelry tree and hung them on different branches.

With the help of MDS, I made these tags and attached them to the key chains. I also used MDS to help with the different characters and printed them out.

And here are her candles and roses that we used for her 18 candles and 18 roses ceremony that we surprised her with. She knew that she was having a party but I wanted to add that extra special event since she was celebrating the big one-eight :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

MDS - Go Giants!

Hello everyone! Happy Sunday :)

Yesterday we got to celebrate my friend Jamie's birthday at a San Francisco Giants baseball game. After a crazy morning of traffic, the hubs and I finally made it into the ball park. The AT&T ball park is a pretty cool place to watch a baseball game :) Even though it was super hot, there was a nice breeze and I was able to get some good photos. And as I was scrolling through my pictures, I thought... MDS2!!!! hehehe. So, here are a couple quick MDS pages.

And here are some more fun shots that I also took. Enjoy!

 

Thanks everyone for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

MDS Baptism Card

Hi everyone! Here is the card that I made for my cousin's daughter's baptism. I've always thought that this stamped image was so pretty and I wanted to use it on her card.

I used the flowers on a stem stamped image from the Thoughts & Prayers digital download. And typed in the sentiment since I did not have a Baptism stamp set that I wanted to use. That's one of the great things about MDS. You can add any sentiment you like by using any font that you already have on your computer! And with MDS, the colors match your Stampin' Up! card stock when you print it out :)

To add some dimension to this card, I punched out some flowers using the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309) and added some Rhinestone Basic Jewels (119246) to the center of each flower. And I just added a strip of Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon (122977) and there you have it... another clean and simple card :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

More MDS - Your Baby's Baptism

Hi! Here is another hybrid card that I made for my cousin's daughter's baptism. My sister-in-law also requested a card from me :) My family is so sweet to think of me when it comes to making cards for special occasions :D

I went with a similar layout that I used for my mom and dad's card that I posted earlier this week. Click here to check out that card. For this card, I used the Script DSP for the background and the bird from the Elementary Elegance digital download.

I layered the MDS piece onto coordinating Wisteria Wonder card stock and added some Whisper White and Wisteria Wonder flowers with some basic rhinestones to the card front.

And there you go, another clean and simple card using MDS :) I love that there are so many possibilities when using MDS!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

MDS - Your Baby's Baptism

Hello everyone! Today, I'd like to share a clean and simple hybrid card. My mom and dad asked me to make a card for my cousin's daughter's Baptism and I decided to use a little bit of my MDS. I went with something simple and came up with this...

Once you have your template going on, it's easy to just print and layer onto a card with coordinating card stock. I also added some little flowers and bling to add a little dimension to the card. Of course, I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309).

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the beginning of your week :)

Extreme Surfboard

Good morning everyone! 

My friend Camille wanted a card with a surfer for her hubby's upcoming birthday (HOPE YOU HAVE  WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY CLINT!!!!). I didn't have any surfer or beach themed stamp sets and thought this was a perfect opportunity to try something new on MDS :) And what's great about MDS is that the opportunities are endless! And what's even better about MDS is that you can try out MDS Express for FREE for 30 days! Click here to find out more information about this great Stampin' Up! Digital designing software trial.

I decided to try and make another hybrid card. I designed this card using MDS and added a few things. This is what I came up with on MDS:

I wanted to add some dimension to the card so I also printed out another sheet of just the surfboards so I could cut them out individually:

And here is the finished card with the surfboards popped up and the surfer is embossed with black embossing powder to give it that shine. My hubby really likes the card and now he's REALLY looking forward to HIS birthday card! Hmmm, no pressure, not at all ;)

Here is a list of what I used to make this card:
