Welcome to my blog today. I wanted to feature one of the Designer Template digital downloads and how you can customize them with just a few changes of color or wording. This Celebrate Any Day Greeting Card Templates kit has cards already designed for a variety of occasions. It also has a 24 piece svg stamp brush set and 15 embellisments. What is even better is that it comes with MDS2+! Well, if you haven't ordered MDS2+ look at what you are missing out on. Furthermore, you are missing out on the ability to recolor designer series paper. I am not particularly fond of More Mustard so I changed the designer series paper to Midnight Muse. I also changed the greeting and frame to Midnight Muse.

This is a very quick way to come up with a greeting card that has been quickly customized. Of course, you could click on create your own and take total creative responsibility. Check out the templates that come for the different shapes of cards and scrapbook pages. You might find several you love and use again and again. At least you will get ideas from Stampin' Up!'s concept artists. Let me know in a comment which card you like better, the designer one or my recolored one. If you choose to take the challenge to change around one of the designer cards in this kit and send me a photo of both the original and your customized one, I'll post it on this blog.

Tomorrow is Terrific Tuesday with new MDS2 downloads. Visit my MDS2 only blog, soggystamper.com, to see which ones I think are terrific.
