How Did We Survive Without The MISTI?

 (All products are linked below using affiliate links )

Hi Friends,

Wendy here. I am so pleased with how this card turned out. The dies and sentiment is from HoneyBee Stamps. 

I stamped the sentiment for this card 3 times... BEFORE I grabbed my MISTI and realized I was having a momentary relapse to archaic stamping days.

When I couldn't get the sentiment to stamp nice and dark and clean and clear I immediately grabbed my Original Black MISTI and bam. Perfect sentiment stamping. 

How did we ever stamp before the MISTI?

AND... How did we ever glue these teeny tiny pieces before the Precision Glue Press? I don't know it's a mystery to me too.

Thanks for checking in and hanging out for a few minutes. I hope you enjoy this card. All the products are linked below.

Hugs

Hi! I am still raving over the Precision Glue Press! The longer I have it, the more I depend on this capless system! I love the precision tip, which allows me to easily adhere skinny die cuts! Then, without worrying about stopping to cap the lid, I slip the press back into the holder. I love it! It's my new favorite thing!  

I  enjoy using this Maidenhair Fern stamp set because it can be placed in various ways. I saw a painting with a fern in this orientation, so I tried it. In a prior project, I put it in the upper corner, dangling it down, and next time, I plan to place it in the lower corner. The MISTI shines with large clear stamps like this! Sometimes clear doesn't ink evenly, so stamping again with the MISTI is easy! 

I also use the Alignment Grids on every project. If I don't use them to align stamps, I use them over the top of my elements to ensure I have everything straight before pressing the cardstock into the glue.

Team Tuesday with The Precision Glue Press

 (All products are linked below using affiliate links )

Welcome to Team Tuesday, today I am sharing a card using some Concord & 9th products and the gamechanger Precision Glue Press.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a Grape Soda panel and a white panel. I created a background by using a stencil with the Sticky Mat. To finish the card I added this super skinny greeting which I love and I adhered it with no mess at all because of the Precision Glue Press! 

Y'all just like the MISTI the Precision Glue Press is a game changer. 

I have not made a card without using it since I got it, and I would make such a mess with skinny diecuts trying to get glue on them, that is not the case with the Precision Glue Press, it is Amazing!!!

Perfect Sentiment For Fall

 

I created this cute card using the Fall Foxes stamp set and my Original Black MISTI. One of my favorite things about the MISTI is the etched-in gridlines for the perfect alignment of sentiments.

For the background on this card, I used The Rabbit Hole Designs Clouds In My Coffee stencil. I created the clouds by ink blending in a beautiful blue and then used one of the open cloud cut outs to create the bushes. It's fun to use products in an unexpected way to get more bang for your buck.

I hope you enjoyed this card.

All Treats, No Tricks - Precision Glue Press

Hello everyone!  

I am super excited to share the newest precision tool in the My Sweet Petunia line! The Precision Glue Press makes even the tiniest die-cuts easy to adhere to projects. I have left the glue press on my desk for several weeks without the cap on, and the tiny precision nozzle has not clogged!  

I used the  Precision Glue Press in the making of this card. I loved how easy it was to adhere the tiny inner frame with the small Precision nozzle of the Glue Press. 

In the past, I have purposely not purchased dies that cut super thin frames or words because of the glue mess, but the Precision Glue Press changes that! In the future, I will share some of the tiny word dies I recently ordered!      

The following lists other My Sweet Petunia tools for creating my Happy Haunting card.

Black Original MISTI

Mini MISTI

Alignment Grids

Cut-Align Ruler

Precision Glue Press

Tips:

Ensure the bottle is pressed all the way in the holder, or the precision tip will not make contact with the silicone pad allowing air in. This will cause the glue to dry in the end. 

I recap the bottle if I know I will be away from the art room for several weeks. Left several weeks unused, the glue may dry at the end of the nozzle, but a quick pin in the nozzle will allow the glue to, once again, flow freely.

Check out the video below for all the details on this fantastic new tool.

Hey y'all and welcome to another edition of eam tuesday!

Today I am sharing a card using a new kit by Gina K Designs that the Sticky Mat is a necessity when making this card.

I started with a top folding white A2 card base and a white panel. I placed the Sticky mat inside of the Original Misti and then the panel of white cardstock, I used a stencil to create the background. 

I stamped the butterflies on a separate piece of cardstock, then used the stencil to color them and cut them out with the coordinating die. 

I also use this tip with every card I make. I take out the foam piece and place the card base in the corner of the Misti and this helps me be able to place the panel on straight. 

Here is a list of supplies I used which includes affiliate links.

Hello, Sunshine! Angie here, hoping you are staying comfortable during the hot summer days! We are experiencing extra hot days, so a warm sunny card seems appropriate. 

For the making of this card, I used the following items:

 Black Original MISTI,

 Alignment Grids, 

Cut Align Ruler (0 point end for precision alignment)

 

Have you tried the Alignment Grids yet?  I love the grids!  They are made of sturdy plastic, so they won't bend or crease when you clean them.  I also love that they are marked at an eighth of an inch for precision aligning! My favorite way to use the grids is to place them over the top of what I am working on to make sure I have layers precisely positioned before the glue dries.  

Using one of the Alignment grids, I taped my paper down in a horizontal line about halfway up the card. Next, I placed another grid over the top to ensure the tape was straight across the cardstock. Once I was certain my horizontal tape line was straight, I set the alignment grid aside.  Then I ink-blended a mustard seed sky.  Next, using the Cut Align Ruler, I found the center of the sun rays and positioned the stamp in the MISTI. I stamped the rays in Carved Pumpkin ink.  Then, I added more ink to the stamp and spritzed it with water.  Using the MISTI allowed me to stamp precisely in the same spot.  I repeated the steps several times until I was happy with the sunny background. Lastly,  I stamped the images and sentiment using the MISTI and die-cut them. I used the Cut Align ruler and an alignment grid to ensure my sentiment was straight.  

My inspiration was this week's Freshly Made Sketches.  

Thanks so much for taking a look!  

Joy!

 Hello everyone! Anna here, sneaking in one more Christmas in July card! The card I’m sharing today was made using a recently released stamp set from Impression Obsession. The set is filled with wonderful vintage inspired holiay themed images and sentiments perfect for making cards, especially Christmas cards.  

I stamped the image on watercolor paper using a permanent brown ink and watercolored the image with some regular and shimmering watercolors. I used a sentiment from the set to add a greeting.  Using a Mini MISTI is my favorite way to stamp on watercolor paper. The texture of watercolor paper can be challenging to get a good impression without making multiple impressions. Thankfully, the Mini MISTI allows me to stamp an image several times, giving me the perfect impression for every project! 

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today!

A Two-fer for Team Tuesday

Hey Y'all!

It's Ceal, here for another edition of Team Tuesday. Today I am using a technique that gives you two cards when you are done. 

To make this card, I started with a couple of white top folding A2 card bases, a couple of white panels, two strips of black cardstock and a Turquoise Sea panel. I placed the white panel in the Black Original Misti and stamped the floral image. I used OLO markers to color it. Next I placed the Turquoise Sea in the Black Original Misti and stamped the floral image and used colored pencils to color it this time. After I got both images colored I cut them down to 4 x 5.25 and then cut the panel in half. Next I stamped a greeting on a black trip and embossed it with white. 

Here they are together 

MISTI Sunshine

Hello! This is Angie; I hope you are enjoying warm sunshine days! We had one of the loveliest Springs, but summer is here with a vengeance. Even though I am already looking forward to cooling Fall days, I love creating a bit of paper sunshine! 

**Affiliate links used when possible at no charge to you!**

Stamping with a MISTI is like stamping in the sunshine!  It's rare that I use just one MISTI for a project, even one as CAS as this. I used the Black Original MISTI for the images and the Mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment.  I leave the stamps in place until the project is finished to quickly begin again in case of mishaps. This is also a great way to stamp multiple cards at one time! In making this card, I also used the Sticky Mats, the Cut Align 0-point ruler, and the Double Dip notepads I use for most of my cardmaking.

The Black Original MISTI Laser Etched adds a touch of elegance to the craft room and has all the new features: rounded corners, molded rulers, an offset lid for easy opening and closing, and a space for the bar magnet.

The stamp set used is Hello Sunshine.

Stamp Two Cards At One Time

**Affiliate links used when possible at no charge to you**

Hello, friends!

Today I am sharing a couple of cute cards that I created for some interesting adventures going on in our lives.

I used the Original Black MISTI and the awesome sticky mats to create two cards at one time. I also used extra magnets to hold in place the extra pieces.

The stamp set I used on the first card is called Farm-Tastic from Your Next Stamp.

The Happy Birthday Buckaroo card was created just because. I know I'll have birthdays coming up and thought, why not stamp both images at the same time and make two different cards.

I was able to stamp all of these images very quickly and then could sit down and enjoy coloring.

Hello, everyone!  I am having a fabulous time creating with a few sets I purchased earlier this year.  I dearly love an abstract look and black-and-white images, so I merged two of my favorite things with this card!  I had so much fun playing with the brush strokes stamps, and the MISTI was a must as each stamp required inking multiple times.  I used the beautiful Black Original MISTI Laser Etched for this project.  The Black Original MISTI Laser Etched adds an elegant look to any craft area, and everything you love about a MISTI is included in this model!  

 I stamped all the images and die-cut them.  

 

I placed the abstract stamps in the MISTI and stamped repeatedly to get good ink coverage.  

I especially enjoyed making a colorful splatter as the background for the flowers.

 Hello everyone! Anna here, greetings from the pacific northwest, where fishermen are prevalent! The card I’m sharing today was made using recently released stamp and dies from Impression Obsession. The release was filled with wonderful summer and fishing themed images and sentiments perfect for making masculine cards.   I used the Mini MISTI  to perfectly stamp the sentiment on the die cut banner several times, giving me the perfect impression every time!

Team Tuesday with Honey Bee Stamps

Hey y'all!

It's Ceal, here with another Team Tuesday post. Today I am sharing a card using a stamp/stencil combo from Honey bee Stamps. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a couple of white panels. I Placed the panel on a sticky mat and created a background using a stencil and on the other panel I stamped the floral image. I never make a card without using the MISTI. When I stamped the floral image I didn't get a good impression so I had to restamp and with the Misti it was a breeze. 

After I had a good impression with the image I used the set of matching stencils to color it using distress inks and the sticky mat to hold them in place. 

To finish the card I added a greeting embossed in gold. 

Beauty Of Stamp Positioning

Hi there

This is Wendy. I cannot tell you how much I love the MISTI, particularly for solid images.

For the background of this card, I used the Concord & 9th, For The Record, stamp set. All of the little black record players would have been a problem if it weren't for having a MISTI. I was able to stamp and restamp perfectly to get my black records as even and dark as I needed them to be.

I used Tidepool ink from Concord & 9th for the You Rock image and added some fun gold foil die-cut stars.

Making Me Laugh

Hi! Angie here! The MISTI blog is a treasure trove of stamping tips and techniques. It's definitely worth the time to check out past posts! I stumbled upon this little tip last night by Judy. She posted the process on Nov. 24, 2021. Judy used a Memory MISTI for her project, but I used  Teal Original MISTI.

 Tape the cardstock to the base of the MISTI (pads removed). Place the stencil over the cardstock and hold it in place with the MISTI magnets. No need for taping down the stencil or using Pixie Spray!   

I use a MISTI(s) for every project I make, but there are times when the MISTI is especially useful, as when stamping on brightly colored ink as it took multiple inkings to get rich, opaque coverage. As always, I used several MISTIs in the making of this card. I like to leave stamps in place until the project is completely finished in case I make a mistake along the way.
