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.
