MISTI: Gerda Steiner

I have been struggling to keep up with my cards for the birthday ministry I have.  I needed a few kid cards to get me through September.  These were easy to make using some washi for the background.  Quick coloring of my Gerda Steiner Stamps with my Zig Clean Color markers and before I knew it I had a stack of cards completed.    However, I did not have the coordinating dies, so I had to fussy cut the images. 



This summer is going to be busy for me.   I will be traveling to Houston quite a bit.   If you are in the Houston area and want to get together, just leave me a comment or email me at hello@mysweetpetunia.com. 

Please enjoy the video!!! Thanks for stopping by.

Team Tuesday with Susan: Shifted Emboss Resist with W Plus 9 Designs Tropic Fever

Hi,
Susan here on the blog today showing how to use your MISTI to do some offset stamping! I know the coloring challenge is going on right now but I have really wanted to play with this Tropic Fever stamp set and do some stamping of florals as well.

I offset this stamp because I wanted to achieve a softer look. I first stamped the background from Tropic Fever with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then shifted the card stock over and up 1/4" or one square up and one square over in my original MISTI. I, then, inked the background stamp up again but this time with Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink. It might seem strange to emboss and then stamp but essentially this is a shifted embossed resist. I needed to do this because even with heat setting, it takes forever for white pigment ink to dry here in swampy Florida!

I have a video below showing how I did the offset stamping and the rest of the card making process.

Thanks for stopping by;

Post Traumatic Stamping Disorder

My word!!!  I have been trying to get this card posted for over three weeks.  I updated my video editing software and that was a disaster.  I dealt with support until I couldn't take it and then I decided to take matters into my own hands.  I deleted everything and installed all over again.

I kept having to start the video editing over and over again.  I think I have PTSD from having it all.  So in order to not relive the experience, I will just let you watch the video.
