Introducing On-Line Classes from Stampin' Up!

I am so excited -- Stampin' UP just announced a new series of on-line classes that are perfect for the busy stamper!
Whether you're too busy to make it to classes at my Studio, live too far away to attend, or attend every class but still want MORE stamping inspiration.... THIS CLASS IS FOR YOU!

Learn innovative ways to get the most out of your supplies (from stamps to the Big Shot) with clever tips and all the techniques you need to start creating with success.

Produced by Stampin' Up! and starring Stampin' Up! Staff, this class is a HOME RUN! You will NOT want to miss it! The content for the price is amazing.


It's easy to order - I've even put together a quick video that will walk you through the entire ordering/set-up process. It's really easy-peasy!
HOW ON-LINE CLASSES WORK:

 


The price of the class is $14.95 and there is no shipping charged as it is a download.

The online class is divided into six categories:
  •  Stamping Basics (seven projects)
  • The Stamp-a-ma-jig (four projects, video)
  • Masking (four projects, video)
  • Embossing (seven projects, 2 videos)
  • Markers and watercoloring (six projects, video)
  • Big Shot and punches (six projects, 2 videos)
THESE ARE DOWNLOADABLE ZIP FILES. It will look like you need My Digital Studio to open them but YOU DO NOT NEED MY DIGITAL STUDIO TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CLASS!
 
When downloading after purchase, just make sure to select "For other applications" rather than "For My Digital Studio and proceed from there.
After purchasing and downloading the class, open "Stampin' Class--The Basics" folder and there will be 6 individual "sessions" folders inside. Click on each and enjoy!

Detailed PC Instructions
The files will be downloaded as archive files that you can then extract and save on your computer. When you click on the download link, an extraction program will automatically launch. Choose the location where you would like to save the files (be sure to note where you save them). Follow the prompts on the extraction program, then navigate to the location where you saved the files. Click on the file and open.
Detailed Mac Instructions
When you click on the download link, the file will be mounted as a drive. Once it is mounted, open the drive and drag and drop the files to the location of your choice on your hard drive. The files can then be opened.

Toxic Framed Art Piece

Stampin' Up! has a super cool Halloween download for My Digital Studio called Toxic Framable Digital Designer Template. It's an 8 1/2" x 11" framable artwork template you can customize with colors to match your home and style. It's a great deal at $3.95 and an instant download for My Digital Studio and includes a 34-piece brush set.

I printed the download without any changes on my computer at home and mounted it in a shabby chic 8" x 10" frame I found in Corey's booth at NW Creations & Collectibles (where I also have a booth of Stampin' Up! projects for sale). 



I then jazzed it up with a belly band to go around the frame.
