MDS Update from Stampin' Up!

Hi there, it's Tami.  I have a few bits of GOOD news concerning My Digital Studio this morning that I wanted to share with you.  Stampin' Up! made the following announcements on it's Demonstrator website this morning:

While Stampin' Up! previously announced that the MDS product line would be unavailable after Sunday, May 31, 2015, it is excited to let you know that all of its MDS items will be included in the upcoming Retired List promotion from April 21-June 2, 2015.  Digital downloads, software, and print products will all be discounted by 30 percent and are guaranteed to be available through the end of the promotion (MDS software discs are available while supplies last). Click here to see a list of products, including promotional prices for each item.

New Dates
Stampin' Up! has extended the availability date for MyDigitalStudio.net, the digital download manager, and its MDS YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest pages through midnight, June 9, 2015. Demonstrators and customers may call Demonstrator Support for assistance with MDS until Demonstrator Support closes at 7:00 PM (MT) on Tuesday, June 9.

Project Life
The Let’s Get Away Digital Project Life Card Collection by Stampin’ Up! from the occasions catalog was posted on the ProjectLife.com website yesterday and is currently available for 20 percent off.  For the foreseeable future, all Digital Project Life card collections will be made available through the ProjectLife.com store.  (There are both Project Life by Stampin' Up! and Project Life digital downloads at that site.)  I've never tried to download something from this site, but I plan on buying the Let's Get Away download, so I'll let you know what I find out. 

Future Updates
While Stampin' Up! will not sell MDS after June 2, 2015 or offer support for MDS after June 9, 2015, it is working on a solution for you to continue to be able to use your digital downloads and order print products. Stay tuned for updates.

Stampin' Up! hopes you enjoy the Retired List promotion—and that the extended deadlines will be helpful to both demonstrators and customers as it phases out the MDS product line.

So, that's a little encouraging!  I'll keep you updated as I learn more information.

  1. Great news! Let me know about that Proj Life download. I'll add another to my long list of "have to have" downloads! I know you said it was available now for 20% off - will it be offered for 30% off next week w/retired items?

    1. Sharon, it's my understanding that only the Stampin' Up! downloads will be 30% off. The Let's Get Away download is only offered at the Project Life store (not Stampin' Up!), so it will not be included in the 30% off retired list items.

  5. Thank you Barbara! I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Do you have MDS projects on your laptop? If so, just hook your external hard drive up to your laptop and back up the same way you would from your other computer. If you're asking how to back up other documents/pictures, I'm by no means an IT expert. I would just suggest dragging the folder(s) you want to back up on your laptop onto the hard drive.
