I received this pretty birthday card from the Stampin' Up! home office.  It's created with My Digital Studio, our exclusive design software.  MDS makes it so simple to create beautiful cards, scrapbook pages and more.  Take it for a test drive free for 30 days!  Details of this terrific offer can be found HERE.  Another very cool thing about receiving this card is that it came with a 15% off coupon – happy birthday from Stampin' Up!

I've held up posting this My Digital Studio hybrid card because I've been trying to remember how I made it!  Oh, well, just know that it's all MDS downloads and super easy to create.  I just added a Pool Party Designer Brad to the center of the bow.  Easy as can be!

I'm pretty excited to be using My Digital Studio more!  I love what you can create mixing both traditional and digital card making.  Here I've used the MDS download called My Cute Valentine Printables Designer Template to print out the main heart image onto Whisper White Card stock.  Set includes 4 different hearts designed to coordinate with the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies.  I began creating my card using a Whisper White base, then Riding Hood Red, then a piece of Twitterpated Designer Paper, and finally the heart popped up on Dimensionals.  I added a Rhinestone and some Basic Gray Satin Ribbon for a pretty finish.  Hybrid card making is so fun!
