Misti Sticky Mats and Clean and Simple Cards

 

Hey cardmaking friends, welcome back. It's Sandi MacIver here and today I'm using the Misti Sticky Mat inside my Misti to create these two Clean and Simple cards.

For today's cards (yes there are two), I dug around in the "Purchased but not used" products and came up with 4 items to use.  Two of the cutest Colorado Craft Company stamps, little Mini Anita Jeram stamps, Be Creative Mini and Ice Cream Day Mini. 

Because these stamps are small, I need something for the background to balance out the images.  I chose Simon Says Stamp stencils, Fading Hearts and Geometric. 

These are super clean and simple cards and each took less than 10 minutes to create.  If you are new to stamping, or just have a few minutes to create a little masterpiece for a friend, these fit the bill.

Measurements for both cards:

All in Hammermill White Cardstock.

Card Base 4-1/4 x 11, score and fold at 5-1/4 (A2 top folding card) 

Card front:  3-3/4 x 5 - by cutting this down, you make the art piece appear bigger on the card. 

Art Piece 2 x 2.

Misti Sticky Mats

Craft Your Stash 3 Card #1

Start by placing the 2 x 2 piece of white cardstock inside the Misti on the Sticky Mat. 

Next, ink with the Intense Black Ink 

Then, color the image with Copic Markers and Cut out with the coordinating die. 

Next, place the card front into the Misti on the Sticky Mat.  Dry fit the art piece in the bottom left corner just to help with placement of the other elements. 

Next, stamp the sentiment in black ink. 

Then, lay the Fading Hearts Stencil over the piece.  

NOTE; the sticky mat will hold your stencil in place for you while you work. 

Next, use Simon Says Stamp Inks and small blending brushes to ink up the hearts in:  Carnation, Seafoam, Lemonade and Sprout 

Attach the card front to the top folding A2 card base with foam tape 

 Finally, use small foam squares to attach the little mouse art piece in the bottom left corner.

 

Craft Your Stash 3 - Card #2

The steps are the same for card 2.  

Just change out the stencil to the Geometric one. 

Color the ice cream with copic markers and then apply Glossy Accents over the ice cream part to make it shiny. 

 Copic Markers Used: Gray:  No, N1, N3, N5, N7  Pinks:  R81, R83, R85  Browns E31, E35, E57
