MDS Monday #38 -- Happy Halloween!

Good morning, and welcome to UDI’s MDS Monday Challenge #38 – Happy Halloween. Our challenge this week is to create a Halloween themed project. I took the opportunity to create Hybrid Halloween Treat wrappers. I love the stamps and papers in the Wicked Fun Kit download, so that’s where I started. I added a few other pieces (stamps, punches, and embellishments) to complete the look, like the Itty Bitty punch and Basic Jewel to decorate the witch’s hat.

Once I created all the different pieces in My Digital Studio (MDS), I copied and pasted until I had enough pieces to wrap all my treats. I also printed several sheets from the Wicked Fun DSP. Then, I used my matching punches to punch out all the pieces I’d created. I put everything together with staples and dimensionals. And I was finished in no time!

Now it’s time to check out the other inspiring creations from the Design Team members at Utah Diva’s International.

Here's what I created:

Here's the MDS pages I printed:

 And here's close-ups of my Halloween Treats:

Digital Witches Brew

Happy FRIDAY! I have a busy weekend with a couple different Christmas Card events planned. I have to tell you a funny story. My mom was at my house a couple days ago, and she made a comment about me skipping Halloween. I said, “Huh?” She said, “I see you already have your Christmas towels up in the bathroom.” Then I had to explain that I’ve been doing Christmas events and had gotten out some of my Christmas stuff to go along with the theme.

So, in honor of Halloween, I’m posting a Halloween card that I created with My Digital Studio (MDS) and the “Wicked Fun Kit” download. This was also a great way to email a card to my niece and nephew! (I just emailed them the jpeg file.) Check back Monday to see the Hybrid treat wrappings I created with this same download. (Hybrid projects are part digital, part traditional.)

As I’ve told you before, I love MDS for so many reasons. This card shows how easy it is to do digital “punch art”; all the same traditional punches are available with MDS. And the cool thing about the MDS punches is that you can make them any size you need! But the best thing – no glue, no mess! :-) I created the cauldron with the Circle Punch, Oval Punches, and Medium Jewelry Tag Punches. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great weekend!
