Team Tuesday with Concord & 9th

 

Hey everybody! 

It.s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using some products by Kristina Werner for Concord & 9th.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 crd base, a Pebble panel and a white panel. Starting with the white panel, I laid it on a Sticky Mat inside the Original MISTI  then stamped the floral image. I used stencils to color it, thus the reason I need a Sticky Mat. The colors I used for the flower are Wildberry, Plumberry and Fig. I love this color combo for a floral. For the leaves I used Avocado and Pistachio.  Next I cut out the image using coordinating dies and used some dies from Pinkfresh Studio to create the frame.

I ran the Pebble panel through the die cutting machine using the Basket Weave card front plate. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment, cut it out with the coordinating die and added it to the front. 

UnFROGettable!

Hello, friends!

I’m hopping by with this Unfrogettable birthday card—see what I did there? 😉 This adorable frog and his tiny fly friends make for such a happy scene; I couldn’t resist the punny stamp set name!

As always, I reached for my MISTI and other trusty tools from My Sweet Petunia. I use them on every card I make, regardless of how simple or detailed. Even with something as small as the little flies on this card. Before owning a MISTI, I used an acrylic block for all the details, but it frequently resulted in incomplete images or messy smudges. The MISTI is revolutionary.

Thanks to the MISTI, I no longer have those annoying stamping fails!

 Everything lines up beautifully, and I get a crisp impression every time—even with the tiniest stamps!

It was such fun to position this happy frog so that he is peeking around the background layer to say hi! And of course, I added the whimsical flies—because frogs love flies, right?

To finish things off, I added the sentiment:

“Wishing you a Ribbiting and Unfrogettable Birthday!” 🐸🎉

One of my favorite things about using the MISTI is how easy it is to make multiples. I positioned the “Handmade especially for you” sentiment on the MISTI and quickly stamped the backs of several cards. On this card, I even added a few of those same whimsical flies for a little front-and-back coordination!

Other My Sweet Petunia tools that help me make (almost) every card include the Sticky Mats, Mini MISTI, Cut Align Ruler, and Alignment Grids. They take the guesswork out of crafting and make it easier to enjoy the process!

Thanks so much for stopping by—I hope you have a truly Unfrogettable day! 💚

Hello, chicken

 

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from a cheerful, sunny day in the pacific northwest! 

The card I’m sharing today was made using the recently released Roo clear stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs. A cheerful set with an adorable chicken, and fun sentiments! I stamped the image and sentiment on watercolor paper, and paired with the images with fun paper prints from the designer Chicken Wire patterned paper also from SweetMissDaisy Designs. 

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the image and sentiment several times to ensure a great impression on textured watercolor paper.

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!

Team Tuesday With Taylored Expressions

 

Hello crafty friends!

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using some Taylored Expressions products and of course the MISTI. I don't know about you, but I use the Misti and the Glue Press on every single card I make. 

For this card, I started with a white top folding card base, a panel of Pebble cardstock and a panel of the Perforated paper by Taylored Expressions. This paper is made to look like cross stitch cloth and it certainly does. I created a faux cross stitch panel but I tell ya this paper is super thick and if you wanted you could actually use floss. 

If you decide to do a faux stitching, you will need a Misti to stamp on it.

I stamped the floral image and used the coordinating stencils to color it. 

I had originally stamped the greeting directly on the paper but didn't care for that look so I restamped it on regular cardstock and placed it over the one I stamped. 

Unfrogettable Birthday

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from a cheerful, sunny day in the pacific northwest!

Inky Borders & Beautiful Bonds

Hi friends!

Today I’m featuring the adorable Sisters and Friends stamp set, along with the Small Backgrounds set by SweetMissDaisy Designs.  I created a cheerful border using the background stamps and Salty Ocean Distress Inks.

The Small Backgrounds set includes four charming designs, each about 2 inches long, perfect for building a continuous pattern. I used a Sticky Mat in my Original MISTI and placed the floral background stamp at the 3-inch mark on the grid.  I’m so thankful for my MISTIs—this detailed stamp needed to be inked and stamped twice with Distress Ink to get a complete, crisp impression.

Keeping the stamp in place on the MISTI lid, I simply moved the paper up 2 inches to align the next section, and then down several inches to extend the pattern the length of the cardstock. Easy peasy with the right tools!

Once the background border was complete, I adhered it to a top-fold card base. Then I stamped one of the sweet girls from the Sisters and Friends set and added the sentiment to finish the card.

Stamping Made Easy with the MISTI!

I love crafting with my MISTI; its precision and paper-saving abilities are invaluable. When using an acrylic block, I've frequently encountered partial impressions or accidental ink smudges. That means all that careful stamping (and sometimes detailed coloring!) goes to waste.

For this card, I had already fully colored my image when I decided to add the butterfly. Thanks to my Mini MISTI, I stamped it confidently without the fear of making a precision error on my already completed work. I would have been heartbroken if a simple stamping mishap had ruined all that effort!

My Mini MISTI is my best friend as I’m crafting in a small space while waiting for home renovations to begin. It’s compact, reliable, and makes stamping stress-free!
