[VIDEO] MDS Quick Tip: Change the Background on a Template

In this MDS quick tip video, I’m answering a viewer question about changing background papers on a pre-designed template. She wanted to make sure that she could change some of the background papers in this calendar template. This info applies to any pre-designed projects by Stampin’ Up! You can feel confident in purchasing a template you like, knowing you can change virtually anything you’d want to suit your needs and style!

Handmade Holidays Box Decor Project Using MDS

In my upcoming Handmade Holidays class, we will be making this MDS-hybrid decor box project!

I created these two pages from scratch in My Digital Studio. I knew what size I wanted my circles to be for the project and designed it around that. The JOY letters are punches and the LOVE letters are a stamp brush. I added a drop shadow effect to the letters for both pages.

Here’s how my final project looks, after punching the letters out with my 1-3/4″ Circle Punch, stamping on the Tiny Treat Boxes with White Craft ink. I used the heart from the Work of Art stamp set and the snowflake from the Cheerful Tags photopolymer stamp set. For a finishing touch I added Rhinestone Jewels (colored with permanent markers) to the end boxes. I used the same 5 boxes for both sets of letters, just stamped and put the letters on opposite sides!
