Supplies: MDS 2+ (130646), MDS 2 upgrade (130650), MDS 2 (130644), or 30-day Free Trial of MDS 2 (130910); Downtown Grunge Photobook Template Designer Series Paper – 4 (126056); Sweet Details Designer Series Paper (125744); Vintage Overlays stamp brush set (121061); Send Me Soaring stamp brush set (129589); Autumn Elements stamp brush set (127172); Creatively Yours stamp brush set (130163); Square punch from Punch Shapes (118853); Tasteful Trim Shape-1 punch (123996)

Whoosh…that is a lot of different items used on this card! The great thing is that all of it is included in the MDS 2+ download. The theme for today's creation is beach or swimming pool. Not having a beach stamp brush set included in MDS 2+ and not having access yet to my other downloaded files, I created this beach card using punches and the Send Me Soaring stamp brush set. I used the Tasteful Trim – 1 punch and stretched it out to make the waves. I filled it with one of the Sweet Details designer series papers for the color and slight texture. The sand effect was created using the wrinkled Downtown Grunge designer series paper and one of the Vintage Overlays stamp brushes. Finally, I used the Creatively Yours stamp brush set for the copyright symbol and added my name. If you need any of the elements I used for this card, just click on the name and you'll be taken to my online store to order it. However, you can get all the above files plus much, much more if you order MDS 2+. :o)

Let me explain the differences between the options for MDS 2. If you already have MDS, you can purchase the MDS 2 upgrade for just $19.95. This will give you the new software and all its wonderful functionality. It won't upgrade your existing stamp brush sets to svg files nor will it add new content. If you purchased MDS between April 16 and Aug 1, you should get an email giving instructions on how to upgrade the program to MDS 2 for FREE!

If you don't already have MDS, purchase MDS 2 for $39.95. This gives you the basic software program and limited content files. OR…you can order MDS 2+ for $79.95 and get it all. Even though I already had MDS, I went ahead and ordered MDS 2+ for $79.95 so my existing stamp brush sets in MDS that are duplicated in MDS 2+ would be upgraded to svg files.

Still on the fence? Then order the FREE 30-day trial of MDS 2. Play with all the wonderful new features for 30-days for free. Then I know you will want to order the whole MDS 2+. You will be hooked! As always, I am here to help you and I am developing a series of videos to show you how to use the program.

Thanks for coming by to visit today. Do come back tomorrow to see what other new digital downloads Stampin' Up! has for us.

Until the next time…blessings,
