MDS Updates

Save More on Photobooks, Cards, & More-Forever!

October 1, 2012  
Lower Print PricesWe're happy to let you know that we've lowered all of our My Digital Studio print product prices-permanently! That's right. Now you can print your photobooks, cards, calendars, and other projects for less. You'll notice some have even been lowered up to 50 percent! The quality of our print products is top in the industry, and now our prices are competitive with the other big online printing companies too! See the new prices here.

We've also improved our shipping costs by simplifying them. We used to charge a small "split shipping fee" for orders that had both print products and traditional Stampin' Up! products, but we've done away with that. See the new My Digital Studio shipping prices on the second page of this PDF here.

New Design Features in MDS 2Along with lowering print prices, we added four more of the MDS 2 design features:
  • CROP PUNCHES: Show off part of the punch and hide the rest
  • PAPER RIP OPTION: Create torn edges with Designer Series Paper, card stock, and photos
  • IMPORT FROM OTHER PROJECT: Toggle between projects to import elements onto current project
  • MULTIPLE PAGE VIEW OPTIONS: View your page with trimmed bleed areas (in addition to viewing in single pages and spreads)
See all 75+ new design features here, and see the latest fixes here.

Update Your Software to Get the Lower Print Prices & New FeaturesTo access the lower prices and new features, make sure to get the latest update for your MDS 2 software-even if you're using the trial version. Just go to Help and then Check for Updates and in a couple minutes you'll be all set. Tell your customers to do the same!
