The Little Things

The MISTI is, hands down, my most important tool in the stamp room! Today’s vintage-inspired butterfly card is a perfect example of why. The patterned paper I chose has a soft sheen, which can make direct stamping a little tricky. Thankfully, the MISTI kept everything perfectly aligned—even with a large background stamp like the "Received Ledger" by SweetMissDaisy Dsigns. Since that stamp required multiple inkings, I couldn’t have done it without the MISTI holding everything steady.

After finishing the background, I stamped and fussy-cut the delicate butterflies from the "She Began to Fly" set by SweetMissDaisy Designs. I adore the sweet little details on each one—they bring a charming touch to a design like this. For the sentiment, I reached for my Mini MISTI. Its smaller footprint makes it ideal for lining up the “little things,” such as greetings.

And what a perfect message it is: In the Little Things is the Greatest Joy.

A Garden Girl for Country/Prim Fans

 Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from a cheerful, sunny day in the pacific northwest!

The card and tag I’m sharing today were made using the recently released Garden Girl clear stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs. A delightful set with an adorable garden girl in a cute country/prim style, wreath, flower swag, and fun garden friendship sentiments. I stamped the image and sentiment on watercolor paper, and painted her with watercolor paints. I think she is just the cutest garden girl around!

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the image and sentiment several times to ensure a great impression on textured watercolor paper to create this tag. 

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!
