Bar Mitzvah Custom Card

 So, here's another custom card:
I didn't have dsp or a stamp for the sentiment for what I wanted, 
so I just designed them using My Digital Studio.


Stampin' Up! has some definition stamps, so I used that inspiration to include the definition of "bar mitzvah."  I also wanted to include its literal definition, since my college professor taught me that it means son of the covenant.  It's not something that happens to you; it's something you become.


Here you can see the details and the textures I added using My Digital Studio.
If you haven't used this software yet, come on over, and I'll let you play with mine so you can see how versatile it is.  


 It's easy to start with the simplified, downloadable software, MDS Express.
Check out the specs.

Then you can customize your software by adding the digital content that you'd like.
You can download anything from the Booster Pack, to one stamp set, to a suite of coordinating images, papers, and embellishments. Click here to see the newest downloads.

Mazel Tov Wow Card

 One of my best clients contacted me about making some custom bar & bat mitzvah cards.  
So, here's one I designed for a young man.


I left room for writing a message to the recipient. 


See how the phrase "mazel tov" opens like an accordion when the card is opened?  

Here's the outside, front and back.


It ties closed with ribbon in the front.

Stamping Day

Come stamp at my place for an hour or two or more this Wednesday, August 24th!
(Visit between 10:00 am-- 8:00 pm.)
Everyone who comes will get to make a personalized card. 
If you want to make a bunch of cards with everything prepared, you may pay a class fee of $20.
If you want to use your own materials for your own projects, that's fine too.
Sometimes we just need the company of others to give us the excuse/ motivation to finally get to that project we have on our "list of things to do."
I'll provide light snacks, cucumber sandwiches, iced tea, etc.
I'll just ask for an hour off for dinner with my family (from 5:00-6:00).
Let me know if you plan on coming. Bring a friend or two.
