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

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.

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!

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today!

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.
