Sweet & Stamped: A Perfect Valentine Project 

-with Ceal Pritchett

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and today’s Team Tuesday project is full of sweetness and creativity! Ceal Pritchett is sharing an adorable handmade Valentine card that highlights just how easy and fun stamping can be when you pair the right tools with charming designs. Using the Petunia Platform and the Mini MISTI, Ceal creates a perfectly aligned and beautifully colored project that’s ideal for spreading love this season. Whether you’re making cards for friends, family, or that special someone, this is a wonderful project to add to your Valentine crafting list.

Hey everybody!

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a cute Valentines card using the Petunia Platform and the Mini MISTI.  

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a white panel for the background and another white piece of cardstock for the images. I used the Mini MISTI so I could stamp all the images of the Lawn Fawn Critter Conversation Hearts stamp set at once even though I may not use them all. 

I used the coordinating coloring stencils to color them, to do that I placed the panel with the stamped images on a Sticky Mat and then placed that on our Petunia Platform, then the Power Mag to hold it down as I add color. I cut them out with the coordinating dies.

After I got them all cut out, I used the Master Layouts 15 by Gina K Designs to cut postage stamps to place them on. 

The heart background is from Concord & 9th and the sentiment is by Taylored Expressions. A bunch of different companies that came together nicely. 

Thanks for stopping by! Ceal

Team Tuesday - with Anna Wight

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from a cold and snowy pacific northwest! 

The cards I’m sharing today were made using the Framed Bunny clear stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs.  The cards showcase watercolored images, the soft texture of watercolor paper and designer patterned papers, also from SweetMissDaisy Designs.

Faux stitching and assorted small embellishments, like vintage buttons and rustic twine, make for really cute cards! They are perfect for sending love to someone near or far.

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the main focal image several times to ensure a great impression on textured watercolor paper. Sentiments were also stamped several times on watercolor paper. Again, I used the Mini Misti to ensure a perfect sentiment for each card. 

I love how the Mini Misti allows me to stamp perfectly, every time! On card panels or on smaller sentiment banners, I can stamp with precision every time, giving me the perfect placement and impression for every project.  Sentiments are stamped perfectly placed, and stamped images on watercolor paper (or other textured papers) are a breeze to create! 

Thanks for joining me on the blog today! Stay healthy and well, and happy new year!

Join us next Tuesday!

Focus Friday - with Deniz Do

Welcome to our second My Sweet Petunia 
Focus Friday! 

Edited to add winner of the giveaway!! 

Kathy, please email me at MSPmarcisnee@gmail.com! 

We’re so happy to have you here for another dose of inspiration. Before we jump into today’s beautiful card-making tutorial with Deniz Do, we wanted to share a quick reminder: this week’s Team Tuesday blog post includes a giveaway for a $25.00 My Sweet Petunia gift certificate. If you haven’t entered yet, there’s still time—the winner will be drawn later this evening, so be sure to head over and join in the fun before then! Let's check out Deniz's tutorial!

Hi friends, and happy new year! I hope 2026 brings you lots of joy and creativity. I’m kicking things off with this fun and surprisingly easy see-through shaped card, and I’m excited to share how it came together.

I started with the Painted Daisies stamp, die, and stencil set from Pinkfresh Studio. Using my MISTI (of course!), I stamped the floral image onto a 4.25" × 5.5" panel and heat-embossed it in gold for a soft, elegant outline.

Next came the coloring. I used Pinkfresh Studio inks in Cherry Blossom, Peony, Sunkissed, Spanish Moss, Sage, and Eucalyptus, applying them with the coordinating stencils to build up the layers of color. Once everything was blended, I die-cut the floral image using the matching die. So far, so easy!

To create the shaped card base, I took an A2 card base (4.25" × 5.5" when folded) and positioned the same floral die slightly off to the left of the fold. The key here is to make sure the die does not cut completely through the crease, otherwise the card front would detach. Once I was happy with the placement, I securely taped the die in place and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum Six several times to ensure a clean cut through all layers.

For added strength, I die-cut two additional floral shapes from white cardstock and glued them to the inside of the card. This part requires a bit of patience, as you’ll need to trim along the edge that aligns with the fold, so the card opens and closes smoothly. Definitely the trickiest step, but well worth it!

For the sentiment, I used the Color Block Stripes die from Pinkfresh Studio to create a slim strip, ink-blended it with Eucalyptus ink. Once dry, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Charming Floral Border stamp set in gold. My Petunia Platform and Pawn Magnets were incredibly helpful here for keeping everything perfectly in place.

To finish the card, I layered a few extra cardstock strips behind the sentiment for dimension and adhered it to the front of the card.

I hope you enjoyed this project and feel inspired to try a shaped see-through card of your own. Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy crafting in 2026! - Deniz

Hi crafty friend!  Jordan here from Jordan’s Easy Entertaining and I’d like to start off by wishing you a very happy New Year! Today I’m sharing with you a card with an encouraging “I Bee-lieve in you” sentiment.

My bestie has some amazing opportunities coming up this year and I’m ready to cheer her on.  I came across this adorable Beelieve Stamp Bundle set from Hero Arts while I was going through my stash and thought it would make a great card to send to her. 

I started off my project by using the largest rectangle from the Spellbinders Nested Postage Labels and Tags die set to cut out the main panel out of white heavy weight cardstock.  I then placed the panel into my MISTI to stamp my sentiment right in the middle.  I then used a second piece of the same white cardstock in my MISTI to stamp my bees and flowers with Altenew Obsidian pigment ink. 

I smeared some Altenew crisp die ink and fresh die ink onto an acrylic block and added water with my paintbrush to watercolor each bee and flower. After they were dry, I used the coordinating dies from the stamp bundle set to cut.

I used my Precision Glue Press to add the flowers around my sentiment directly to the card panel.  Then I used pop up foam squares to add the bees. I once again used my Precision Glue Press to add some flat back pearls and gems. I attached the main panel of my card to the purple background piece (cut out with the coordinating postage die) with some more glue. It looked like my cardstock wanted to curl up a little bit, so I used some Mini Pawn magnets on my Petunia Platform to hold it in place while it dried. 

I used a tape runner to attach my card front to an A2 card, and then I decided that I’d like a stamped sentiment inside the card too. I used my MISTI Lite along with my Petunia platform and Power Mag and a stamp that says, “amazing things will happen.” 

I hope my bestie loves this card, and that you enjoyed this post. Have a great day!

Let's do something fun for the start of 2026!  Comment below what My Sweet Petunia products I used to make this card and all entries will go into a random drawing for a $25.00 gift certificate to the My Sweet Petunia store!  The winner will be randomly chosen this Friday night, January 9th, 2026.  The winner will be messaged privately as well as announced on our blog, Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Good Luck!

Team Tuesday - with Fabiola Giardinaro

We are so excited to introduce one of the newest members of the My Sweet Petunia Design Team, Fabiola Giardinaro! Fabiola lives in beautiful Catania, Sicily, in a seaside village at the foot of Mount Etna. A geologist by training and a full-time mom by heart, she shares her creative life with her husband and two children, Giorgia and Mattia. Fabiola began her creative journey in 2014 with scrapbooking but quickly fell in love with stamping—and especially coloring. What started as curiosity soon became a true passion, and alcohol markers have been a constant companion in her creative world ever since.

Known in the crafting community as Shabby Lab, Fabiola’s style is romantic, vintage, shabby chic, and beautifully color balanced. She is a colorist card maker at heart, with a special love for stamps featuring sweet animals and children, and she is well known for her innovative 3D die-coloring technique that gives die cuts new life through marker shading. Fabiola brings years of experience as a design team member for major crafting brands, a love of teaching and experimenting with new techniques, and a deep appreciation for tools that make creativity easier—like the MISTI. We are thrilled to welcome her to the team and can’t wait for you to be inspired by her beautiful projects!

Hello creative friends and here I am on my first Team Tuesday with a project for the end of the year, which is placeholders for our table and welcome 2026.

I started by stamping with my MISTI the stamps that I decided to color, which is CC Design.

Then colored with OLO alcohol markers.

Then I chose a box die by Tommy Design, where inside I will put biscuits or salty or sweet, which I stamped with the new MISTI Lite. I also used the Magnetic Platform together with the Power Mug and Mini Pawns that allowed me to move freely without any problems and lock my project in the desired position. Then I die cut 2026 of the Creative Couple with gold cardboard and assembled it all together.

I just have to match the different characters to each placeholder and you're done.

Thank you for joining me on my first Team Tuesday!  Here's a little video of the finished project!

Team Tuesday - with Deniz Do

 

Welcome Deniz!

We’re so excited to welcome Deniz Do to the My Sweet Petunia Design Team!

Based in Ottawa, Canada, Deniz balances her full-time work as a research and data analyst with a love for cardmaking that serves as her creative escape during evenings and weekends. She’s been creating cards for several years, developing a style that’s clean, thoughtfully designed, and full of soft color palettes with just the right pop of detail.

You may already know her from Instagram at @happy.quokka.designs, where she loves sharing her work and connecting with fellow makers. We’re thrilled to have Deniz creating alongside us and can’t wait for you to be inspired by her beautiful projects and fresh perspective. Let’s see her project!

Hi friends! I’m so excited to share my first projects as a design team member for My Sweet Petunia! Today I’m featuring the MISTI (my ride-or-die in the craft room!), along with the Creative Corners, the new MISTI Lite, the Petunia Platform, the Pawn Magnets and the Power Mag!

I used one of the Creative Corners to line up the adorable Ellen Hutson house image perfectly, and the MISTI Lite helped me quickly stamp the smaller pieces. It’s honestly such a game-changer for someone who is not a consistent “free-range” stamper!

For my projects, I combined Ellen Hutson stamps and dies with pretty cardstock from Concord & 9th and The Stamp Market for a soft winter palette.

Can’t wait to share more MISTI inspiration with you all! - Deniz
