ReplyDeleteI love your simple, touching card. I've also been meaning to tell you of a major benefit of the Misti-- it is so useful for people like my sister, who is not able to hold her hands steady enough to use stamps on acrylic or wood blocks. She thought she would have to give up stamping! Thank you for your invention!

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card! Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous opportunity for a new misti. Thankyou ladies for your generosity. Love the card and colours.
ReplyDeleteSimple and lovely card.
ReplyDeleteI love that sentiment! and I love my mini MISTI--total game changer for me. I would totally love to have the full size one as well! And you don't know how happy it makes me that some of you more experience card-makers/bloggers/professionals lose things on your desks too!!! Thank you, Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards! Love the Misti...it has become one of my most important crafting tools!! Thanks for sponsoring this day of the Extravaganza!!!
ReplyDeletelove the sentiment on the card, we have too many absent friends this year
ReplyDeleteOk, it's been more than an hour, and my comment didn't post, so if there are two, I am not cheating! I love this stamp and sentiment. And I really like the soft color to accent the tree. And I love my MISTI (mini) and would love to have the full size one as well! It has totally been a game changer for me. Thank you for being a sponsor and for the inspiration of today's post. I have not tried overstamping, but I will definitely keep it in mind. I am never sure how much time I have before adding embossing powders, so I tend to do it immediately. So...another tip to be thankful for!! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteGreat card with a great sentiment:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! The ornmaments from the second stamp set make tree extra special!
ReplyDeleteFab! I love the thank you idea for after Christmas. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGREAT card! I love my MISTI and use it every time I stamp. Thank you for making it possible to stamp perfectly!!!!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas! I am soooo in love with the idea of the Misti...been on my must buy list forever! Will make true placement and re-inking a breeze!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I really love the sentiment! I think that a wall hanging with this sentiment on it would be lovely too!!! Must get this set!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great sentiment and you're right this could be used post christmas. Love the soft colours.

ReplyDeleteLove this! So pretty. I can't afford a Misti and would be so blessed to win.
ReplyDeleteAwesome card! Love the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card!!! Love it
ReplyDeletePick me - pick me. I have been watching videos for over a year showcasing the misti. I'm sold. I want one. No - I need one! I had to get rather creative this year attempting to "fix" my cards because something didn't stamp quite right, or straight. This card is LOVELY. I adore all your various touches to add dimension and sparkle.
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment on this card. The tree reminds me of our tree this year. Because of a kitten that thought it was his job to knock the tree over it was very sparsely decorated.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I am looking forward to doing the hop, I love Advent Calendars.

Thanks for sponsoring a day of the extravaganza. I must admit I didn't know of your company before now but I did know of the misti. I don't have one myself but will admit that I have been coveting one since I learned what it is and what you can all do with it. In the new year I'll be checking out Sweet Petunia a little more to see what other awesome stuff you have.
