Oh, happy day! MDS 2 is here!

Good morning!  Have you been waiting for today as impatiently as I have?  I'm so excited to get my hands on this new software!  I haven't downloaded it yet - I need to post all this great info for you first ;)

Ok, here's the scoop from SU's My Digital Studio Team:



We can hardly contain our excitement--MDS 2 is here! Review the software options below to decide which works best for you. 
As you can see, each software option is available as a download which requires an Internet connection. (The disc version of the software is coming soon.) Please be patient as the installation process will take some time. It is worth the wait, we promise.

Exciting, right?  Now, if you've been using MDS already, you'll notice that some of the content included on MDS 2+ is a repeat of what you already have.  I asked Stampin' Up about this and there are a couple of different reasons for it.

#1 - they needed to make it accessible for beginners and of course, beginners will need the basics.

#2 - the stamp files have all been changed to SVG files which means you can resize the images while still keeping them crisp and you can use them with an ecutter - like the Silhouette.  In fact, with MDS 2 you'll be able to export directly to Silhouette Studio - how awesome is that?!

Personally, there is still enough content included on MDS 2+ that I haven't already purchased to make it worth the purchase and I do have a Silhouette, so those SVG files will definitely come in handy.  So take a minute and look over those lists and see which option will work out best for you then click below to go to my online store and get started with your download!
