MDS News

I got my new computer installed tonight and boy, is it super fast!  Guess I didn't realize how slow my old one was.  Now I just have to get my files organized and tidy up my desktop.

 Lots of news for My Digital Studio.  Several months ago, with one of the periodical updates, SU did away with the tool bar that was at the top of the page when you were creating in MDS.  Many of us were really upset by this and complained and complained and (did I mention?) we complained!!  Well, you know that squeaky wheel?  It got greased this week.   SU updated the software with some fixes.  One of the enhancements was a new customizable toolbar. That's right! You can now select which options you want to appear at the top of your screen in MDS.  Just go to View>Customize Toolbar or right-click on the toolbar itself and add or remove options.   I am super excited about this!

Are you as addicted to Pinterest as I am and many others that I know?  I have found such great ideas there.  Well, Stampin' Up now has a new Pinterest page—dedicated to all things My Digital Studio!  They are filling it up with lots of inspiration.  So go on, start repinning to your heart's content.

Stampin' Up has come up with shaped postcards for MDS.  Just update your software, and you'll have access to these new shape optionsperfect for wedding invitations, birth announcements, holiday cards, or every day greetings.
After you update the software, you can open up a 5" x 7" or 7" x 5" postcard, then go to View > Bleed Areas and choose either of the new options: Artisan Shaped Postcard or Scallop Shaped Postcard. Once you are ready to order your shaped postcard, just go to Project > Order > Card. The bleed area that you selected while designing your card will be the default option in the ordering process. Want to check out the other shape? No problem, just use the drop down and change it.
Don't forget, our postcards are double-sided, so we'll print on the back for you too. You'll also notice a new bleed area in your menu so that you can design your card with the end result in mind. Then, when you're ready to order, just select the shape you want in the ordering options.

Cards start at $2.25 US/$2.75 CAN and regular bulk discounts apply. Click here (US/CAN) for more information.   So go on, shape up those postcards.

The new downloads this month are cool too!
