MDS Monday #39 -- Christmas Tags

Good morning, and welcome to UDI’s MDS Monday Challenge #39 – Christmas Tags. Our challenge this week is to create a Christmas Tag. I love creating tags with traditional supplies; they’re so small and quick to make. Well, they’re just as easy and quick in MDS, too. I got on a roll and created 4 tags on a single page.

I’d planned to print some MDS pieces and make Hybrid tags, but I ran out of time. So, I’m showing you the MDS images, and you can see how you’d use traditional punches to create Hybrid tags. However, these completed MDS images would make great embellishments for scrapbook pages or Christmas cards. Just remove the “To” and “From” text and replace it with journaling or a stamped greeting. I hope you have fun creating tags this Christmas Season.

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

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.
