Hello, creative friends!
I love using My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats in my crafting projects. They’ve become an essential tool, especially when working with large cling stamps like the charming Penny Black Resting Picket Fence.
Here’s how I used the Sticky Mat to create a beautifully stamped image:
Getting Started
Since the Resting Picket Fence is a large cling stamp, I knew it would require multiple impressions to achieve full coverage. That’s where the Sticky Mat came to the rescue! I placed it inside my Teal MISTI, topped it with the cardstock, and stamped it. With the Sticky Mat holding everything securely, I stamped several times for a full-coverage, crisp image.
Adding Personal Touches
I colored the birds as little Purple House Finches. These adorable birds bring joy to my day as I watch them out the window, so I couldn’t resist adding them to this project. I love the result—vibrant and heartwarming—just like the view outside!
Pro Tip: Using a New Sticky Mat
If you’re using a new Sticky Mat, here’s a handy tip to avoid tearing or bending your cardstock:
Instead of pulling the paper off the mat, bend the mat away from the cardstock to release it. This technique works like a charm, especially with a new mat.
What I Love about Sticky Mats
- They provide a firm grip, ensuring the paper stays in place during stamping.
- They’re versatile and reusable, making them a brilliant investment.
- Paired with the MISTI, they make achieving perfect impressions a breeze.
