Here is a fun card I made using the My Digital Studio. I know I don't mention the program often but I do have it and I do love it! I create all of my blogger headers using it as well as my new signature. This card in particular uses an exclusive MDS download featuring the Strength & Hope stamp set and exclusive to the download DSP and embellishments. I love how it came out and it only took a couple of minutes.

I apologize because this card features designer series paper that you cant purchase until July. It was on special last month and I simply LOVE it! If you were able to get some I know you are feeling the same. The card style is a Z-Fold, just something fun and different. It's very easy to do, start with a piece of cardstock 4.25" x 11" score it at 2.25" and 5.5". Fold it in half and the fold the flap back. I attached the Top Note die-cut to the front. When I do the patchwork I start with a rectangle and use 1-1/4" squares (easlily done with our punch), I adhere them to my square and then I ran them through the Big Shot once to cut out my shape and then again with the Vintage Wall Paper embossing folder to give it the "quilted" look.
