Island Oasis Designer Series Paper and Tropical Party Stamp Set

Saying good-bye to the Island Oasis Designer Series Paper and the Tropical Party Stamp Set that was available until Tuesday, August 31.  I fell in love with the DSP as soon as I saw it in the Summer Mini Catalog.  I was inspired to make the following mini scrapbook and greeting card.  Feedback is more than welcomed!

Happy Labor Day

I decided to develop a greeting card using My Digital Studio, as my Stampin' Up! supplies are unavailable at my current location.  Here it is!  What do you think about my first try?


My flag is not an exact replica, however, it's close.  I used the star punch - 50 times - and re-sized the stars.  What a challenge! Then I embedded red and white card stock, resizing it to create the strips.  Initially, I thought that I may not enjoy making cards digitally, but I must say that I am pleasantly surprised.  I look forward to creating others.


My Digital Studio may be purchased at my Stampin' Up! website for $79.95.  I promise you will enjoy it!
