Waiting for Your Sparkle

**Our team uses affiliate links at no charge to you!**

Hello! Today I share several ways the MISTI adds sparkle to a creative session!  

First, I made a background by placing a Grid Mat inside my Original Black MISTI. Next, I put a piece of cardstock in the middle of the Grid Mat. Then I placed the dotted stencil over the cardstock and pressed the stencil edges onto the Grid Mat. I love this technique for stenciling because it holds the stencil in place without tapes or sprays! When the mat is very new, I press the mat away from the cardstock to remove the cardstock without tearing.  

The MISTI absolutely sparkles during the next step. I placed the silhouette stamp on the stenciled background. Since this is a clear stamp, it takes multiple stampings to achieve a solid image. I would never have been able to stamp this image repeatedly with precision using an acrylic block! Last, I used my Mini MISTI for the sentiment.

Big Squishy Hugs

 

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings the pacific northwest! The card I’m sharing today was made using stamps and the Big Hugs Bear from Impression Obsession. For the sentiment on this card, I needed to be able to place it ‘just so’, since it was pushing the limits of the die cut sentiment banner,

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!

Hey there crafty friends! 

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card that I made when MISTI and the Precision Glue Press went to camp. 

I attended the C9 Summer camp and this card uses a set that was in our kit and it's my favorite!

I couldn't have made this card without products by My Sweet Petunia. I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel cut to the same size. I placed the panel in the Original MISTI and stamped the floral image on all four corners. After I got the stamping done, I added a Sticky Mat to the Original MISTI and placed the panel on the Sticky Mat so I could ink blend with a stencil and the panel not move. 

After I got the floral images colored by using the stencil, I cut out the words and added them to the front of the card by using the Precision Glue Press which made it a breeze even though they are so delicate.

This set is exclusive to C9 summer camp but I have linked a similar set below.

Sentiment Trick with the MISTI

 Today I am sharing a super handy sentiment trick using the mini MISTI. There are two reasons to stamp several sentiments at once. One, you are mass producing and need a lot of them. Two, you want to create extras to have on hand for creating cards later. You could do your future self a favor by pre-stamping several sentiments at once.

The cute crate I made today is a die from Scrap Diva Designs. It’s called the Jelly Tote, the die comes with handles as well but I didn’t add those to the project today.

The finished tote size is 6-1/2″ x 5″ x 3″. It’s fantastic for gift-giving. I would suggest using a strong cardstock for this project. The cardstock I used was 65lb weight and it really was a little too flimsy for this project.

I think I will give this to my Mom for her birthday but I will fill it with more goodies she’ll enjoy and possibly a gift card or two.

This sentiment trick is the best.

Step 1: Stamp and die cut the sentiment one time. Make sure to use a piece of cardstock squared at the edges, not a wonky piece that won’t return to the same place. Place the negative back into the MISTI in the same place.

Step 2: Die cut several sentiment shapes and pop them right back into the negative area and you’re ready to stamp.

Stamping sentiments like this helps create massive die cuts so much faster.

Here's a video on how I created this project.

You and I

Hello!  Today I am sharing a fun tip when using stencils.

**Affiliate links may be used at no cost to you!** 

I placed a piece of cardstock in the middle of a Sticky Mat, then positioned the stencil over the cardstock and pressed the sides of the stencil onto the Sticky Mat. The Sticky Mat holds the stencil in place without tape or Pixie Spray! This technique works best on a Sticky Mat that has been used a few times and isn't as sticky as brand new.  However, I have used regular cardstock with new Sticky Mats.  To release the cardstock without tearing, I bend the Sticky Mat away from the cardstock.

The rest of the card is pretty simple.  I used a Mini MISTI for the sentiments and an Original Black MISTI for the stencil/Sticky Mat and image.  

 I also used the following tools:

Alignment Grids

Precision Glue Press

Cut Align Ruler

Stamp Set by Impression Obsession

Hey friends! 

It's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card made using a stamp and stencil by Altenew. Not only is the Misti a great tool to use for stamping but the sticky mats are a necessity for stenciling. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a couple of white panels. One I cut down and used with a 3D embossing folding and the other for stamping the image.  

 I placed the panel in the Original MISTI and stamped the floral image, next I placed the stickmat in the Original MISTI and used it to hold the panel while I ink blended the colors using the coordinating stencils.

 Next I cut out the image using the coordinating  die and then popped it up on the embossed panel. To finish the card, I added a sentiment from The Greetery.

Nothing in the World

The MISTI is my favorite tool for producing watercolor projects and multiples!

 I used the Black Original MISTI to stamp the cat. Then I used both My Original MISTI and Teal Original MISTI for the sentiments.  Next, I colored the cat, leaving the stamps in the MISTIs. I was so glad I left the stamps in the MISTIs because I had a visitor! Rocket jumped on my desk to inform me that I had not given him enough attention, and smudged one of the cards! The MISTIs made the process of restamping the panel quick and easy.  The irony was not lost on me that my cat destroyed a picture of a cat!  Hehe.

Along with the MISTIs, I used,

 Alignment Grids

Double Dip Notes

This sweet stamp set is by Dina from Impression Obsession.

Scrapbooking With The MISTI

Hi Friends,

Wendy here.

Today I am sharing a fun idea using my new Memory MISTI. The Memory MISTI is such a cool tool. I'll do a lot with this when creating my scrapbook for my daughter, Macie, over the next few years. In today's post and video, I just got my feet wet learning how to use this tool. 

I started by using this large 6x6 background stamp to stamp in the bottom right corner. Then I turned the cardstock 180 degrees and stamped again in Blueberry ink from Concord & 9th.

This gave a little extra interest in the background of the photos. In hindsight I wish I would have layered the die cut letters and journaling over the stamping vs the photos. But, I am learning and getting back in the scrapbooking game.

All in all, I am very happy with the way my first scrapbook pages in 10 years turned out. It's a journey, not a race or destination. As I get my feet wet in this side of papercrafting again I feel excited to explore the new options and ideas that will come my way.

Fair warning, I share about life and adventures along the way. I'm not strictly a teacher/cardmaker/crafter I am kind of a vlogging crafter. I hope enjoy the stories and sharing along with the crafting.

Here is my supply list for this project.

Hanging Jars

***Our team uses affiliate links at no charge to you!***

Hi there! Today, I am sharing a cute card that uses multiple stamps to create the scene. I used a Black Original MISTI to stamp the planter hanger, the flag, and the tree. With a MINI MISTI, I stamped the small flag on a piece of patterned paper (the same as the card background), then stamped the sentiment on the flag. After that, I fussy cut the flag and used the Precision Glue Press to adhere it in place. I love the Precision Glue Press for small items like this flag. I then put the layer inside of my Teal Original MISTI.  After layering an Alignment Grid on top of the layer, I arranged the jar stamps so they would "hang" from the pole's hooks. I stamped the jars on the grid, then made adjustments so they hung directly on the hook. I followed suit with the bird after that. 

Leaving the stamps on different MISTIS helps me to quickly create multiples.  If I make a mistake, I can easily restamp the card because the stamps are still in place.

Thanks so much for looking!

Stamp set: Lazy Days Swing

 

Team Tuesay with Pinkfresh Studio

Welcome to Team Tuesday!

it's Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a card using a Pinkfresh set that has coordinating stencils dies and even washi tape.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base, a  couple white panels and a white piece of half sheet of cardstock cut to 8.5 x 5.5 

I placed half sheet of white cardstock in the Original MISTI and stamped the butterflies and leaves (which is all one stamp btw). I used distress inks and the coordinating stencil to color them and cut them out with the die which cuts them all at once. 

Next I used the Rounded and Braided rectangles die set to cut the decorative panel and I used a stitched rectangle die set to cut the other panel.

To finish the card, I added a die cut sentiment to the decorative panel.

Multiple Tags All At Once

 Today I am sharing the simplicity of stamping multiple projects all at the same time. These cute little die cut tags are from Honey Bee Stamps free"bee" goodies. 

I have several May birthdays to celebrate and I enjoy making my own tags and gift wrapping as often as possible. However, I didn't want to spend hours creating the tags. Simplicity was my goal.

Using the sticky mat in my Original MISTI was the trick to making these tags quick and easy. I lined up all of my tags and then added the sentiments to get everything arranged perfectly.

I stamped the sentiments two times. This is the magic of the MISTI. I was able to stamp these sentiments once and get perfect stamping using my MISTI. 

In just a few seconds I stamped 3 tags. After that, I just decorated them using a few simple elements.

 

 Here is a list of supplies used for these cute little tags. The dies are not listed because they were a free gift from Honey Bee.

You are a Blessing

Hello! Today's project features one of my favorite mediums, watercolor, and utilizes my favorite tools! The MISTI allows me to repeatedly stamp the lightest ink on textured watercolor paper for a perfect impression. This project had an added degree of difficulty as it required masking the large rose and adding smaller roses to complete the scene. 

Here is a list of tools used:

Original MISTI

Mini MISTI

Sticky Mat

Alignment Grids

Cut-Align Ruler

Precision Glue Press

Double Dip Notes

Team Tuesday with Altenew

 (Our team uses affiliate links at no cost to you)

Hello crafty friends!

It's Ceal, here. Today I am channeling my inner Jaycee Gasper with an Altenew die set and ink blending.

I watched a live with Jennifer and Jaycee using this die set and I just had to order it, it's so beautiful. I went back and watched the replay and crafted along with them. Jaycee has a way with ink blending like no other. I love how you get the colors with ink blending rather than colored cardstock. I am a fan! 

To make this card, I started with a white to folding A2 card base and a piece of white cardstock for the die cuts. I placed a Sticky Mat in the Original Misti to hold the die cut pieces as I ink blended. I didn't have the ink colors that they used on the live so I substituted distress inks. After I got all the pieces ink blended, I cut the outline pieces of the flowers and leaves out of goil foil paper.    

The outlines pieces to the flowers are very thin and delicate but they were so easy to add with the Precision Glue Press

To finish the card, I added the thanks sentiment cut twice out of white for dimension and glued it to a gold backer. 

Do You Need Two Different MISTI Sizes?

Hello Friends,

I am excited to be back this month to share a fun card with you featuring some beautiful products. 

For this card, I used Copic Markers to color the floral arrangement and the beautiful Lovely Layers Hummingbird. I ink blended in Villainous Potion around the floral arrangement and heat embossed the sentiment in white.

Do you need two different MISTI sizes? Well need is an interesting word. For this card, I stamped my sentiment on the front using my Mini MISTI and it worked great.

However, after I completed the card I realized I wanted to stamp my name on the back of the card. When I tried to do this in the Mini MISTI with the card folded I could tell it was going to be an issue. I had already added the hummingbird and it was popped up on foam tape. 

So Original MISTI to the rescue. All my stamping still came out perfectly.

Here is the supply list for the items I used.

Stop and Smell the Wildflowers

***Our team uses affiliate links at no cost to you!***

Hello everyone!  I hope spring has come to your area.  Where I live the season comes with dramatic storms followed by brilliant blue skies. It has me reaching for my floral stamps and hoping for time to appreciate the flowers!  

For my latest project, I used a triangle in the new Creative Corners set to align the sentiment on a precise diagonal line. I also used the triangle to mask off the upper part of the card. To ensure my paper did not move during multiple reinkings of the stamp, I placed it approximately an inch from the corners of the Sticky Mat in the Original Black MISTI. This allowed me to stamp away from the empty corners of the large background stamp. 

Once I colored the image in vibrant colors, I added a black border diagonally with the Precision Glue Press. Finally, to finish off the card, I added a Double Dip Note to the inside.    

 I hope you are inspired to try out some of the amazing My Sweet Petunia tools!

Thanks for stopping by,

Lucky to Have

**Our team uses affiliate links at no charge to you!**

Hello everyone! I created something green with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner. When I create, I always feel lucky to have several MISTIs at my disposal. For precise coverage and alignment, I stamped the sentiment multiple times and left it on the Original  MISTI. Then, I moved to the Mini MISTI to stamp the clover. I keep my stamps in the MISTI until I finish a project so that I can easily make another if I make a mistake along the way. 

Additionally, I used the Cut Align Ruler, the Precision Glue Press, Sticky Mats, and the Alignment Grids. You can find these tools and more in the MSP Retail Shop, which you can access HERE.
