Lots of Stamping All At Once

 One of my very favorite things about the MISTI is the ability to stamp many images at one time.

For today's cards, I created a fun fall shaker card and a second card using the arch cut out of the gold foil for the shaker card.


I stamped and colored all the pumpkins, wagon and foxes with copic markers. The inside background of the shaker is colored with a very light blue copic marker. All of the copic markers used are listed at the bottom of this blog post.




I hope you're busy making some fun fall shaker cards this season and using the MISTI to stamp all your gorgeous images.


Here is the supply list for these cards:

Team Tuesday with Pinkfresh Studio

(Our team uses affiliate links where possible)



Hey there crafty friends!
It's Ceal, here. Welcome to Team Tuesday, today I am sharing a couple cards using come holiday products from Pinkfresh Studio along with the Original Misti, Sticky Mat and Precision Glue Press. 
To make these cards, I started with a white top folding A2 card bases and a a couple of panels. I stamped the image on the panels using the Original Misti because it a cling stamp and you cannot see through it which means the Misti is a necessity to use this stamp.  After I got the images stamped, I placed the panel on a Sticky Mat inside the Misti so I could use the coordinating stencils to color the image. 


The first card, I actually created it second. Once I was done with the card below I realized I forgot to use the die and I had already cut the panel down so I created a second card (above). I cut several layers out so i could stack them for dimension. I also embossed the sentiment in gold to match the berries. 
The card below I added the stenciled panel on a panel of black and embossed the greeting on black with white embossing powder. 


The top one is my favorite, which one do you like best?


Here are the supplies I used

Using Multiple MISTIs For Creating

 Today I am sharing two cards I created using both my Original MISTI and my Mini MISTI

For this card, I used the Mini MISTI and the sticky mats to get my stamping just right on this tiny piece of inked cardstock. I chose to heat emboss the sentiment and knew I would need to stamp multiple times on this tiny piece of paper.

Using the sticky mat is the perfect solution for stamping on small bits of cardstock. For all the items glued together, I used the Precision Glue Press.



For the second card, I used my Original MISTI to stamp the turnabout stamp. Unfortunately, I did not have the correct products to use the turnabout correctly, but I was able to make it work with the help of the MISTI.

After creating this background I cut it down to use for smaller pieces on the card base.



Here is the supply list for these cards:

Fall is in the Air


 Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings the pacific northwest! The card I’m sharing today was made using stamps from Impression Obsession. Since I was stamping on watercolor paper, I needed to be able to stamp the image and sentiment multiple times to ensure a great impression!

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!

Thanks for joining me on the blog today!

Hey There, Sunshine!

Hey there sunshine, thanks for joining us. I highlight one of my favorite MISTI uses today. I love watercolor and the MISTI helps me achieve precisely stamped images on textured paper.

I placed a Sticky Mat in the Original Teal MISTI and then stamped the sunflower multiple times. The paper stayed in place as I re-stamped it numerous times. I also stamped the sentiment on textured watercolor paper using a Mini MISTI. My favorite mediums become effortless with MISTI tools, and I love it!

Hey there crafty friends!
It's Ceal, here. Today for Team Tuesday I am sharing a set of cards I made using the super cute stamp/stencil set Hedgehugs from Taylored Expressions. 
To make these cards, I started with white top folding white A2 card bases and panels.

several colors of ink, I had to do one of them Sweet Petunia Pink.


This one is going to be my anniversary card to the hubs.


And another in teal and purple because they are my faves. 

and here they are as a set


These were so fun to make

Using Creative Corners For Pattern Paper & Sentiment

The Creative Corners from My Sweet Petunia are a fantastic addition to your MISTI collection. I created fun thank you cards for friends featuring pattern paper and a sentiment that I wanted to stamp and share on a diagonal.


Place one of the spacers in the lower corner of the MISTI to cut the pattern paper at the right size and angle. Next, lay the pattern paper against the spacer and lay the creative corner on top of the pattern paper. Make a line with a pencil across the pattern paper. This is the cut line. Cut the pattern paper on the pencil line.


After gluing the pattern paper to the cardstock, lay the entire piece back in the MISTI and place the Creative Corner back on top. Line the sentiment against the creative corner, close the MISTI door, and pick up the stamp. Remove the Creative Corner and stamp the sentiment.



Here are all the fun finished cards. I love how they turned out and I will definitely be using the Creative Corners more often.





Here are the supplies I used for the cards. I could not find the Newton's Nook pattern paper that I used available anywhere.

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.   


  MISTI is celebrating 10 years with a sale!

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!

Team Tuesday With Concord & 9th

(our team uses affiliate links when possible)


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:

Team Tuesday with Ceal

(Our team uses affiliate links when possible)
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

**Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you**

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,

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.
