Team Tuesday - with Ceal Pritchett

It’s Team Tuesday, and Ceal Pritchett is back with a project that combines two things we love—beautiful details and smart crafting tools!  Today’s card starts with a fabulous book die and becomes something extra special with the help of the Original MISTI, Sticky Mat, and Precision Glue Press. From holding her intricate die cut securely in place while stenciling and ink blending to getting that finishing sentiment just right, Ceal shows how having the right My Sweet Petunia tools at your fingertips makes it easier to concentrate on the fun part—creating!

Hello everyone, 

It's Ceal here and today I am sharing a card using products from My Sweet Petunia and Hero Arts. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of Aqua cardstock in which I ran through the die cutting machine using a pierced cover plate. I used the BigBook die set from the August card kit by Hero Arts. 

I cut the book out of white cardstock and then placed it down on a Sticky Mat inside of the Original Misti, I masked off the edges of the book and then placed the stencils over the "cover" and created the pattern for the book. Next, I removed the masks and moved them to cover the front of the book and ink blended the binding of the book.  To finish the card, I stamped and cut out the sentiment and adhered them using the Precision Glue Press. 

We love how Ceal turned a simple white die cut into a beautifully patterned book cover—and it’s a great reminder that your MISTI can do so much more than stamp! Pair it with a Sticky Mat to hold die cuts, masks, stencils, and smaller pieces securely while you ink, blend, arrange, and create. Then reach for the Precision Glue Press when it’s time to put all those carefully created pieces together. Try setting aside an afternoon to look at the tools already on your craft desk and challenge yourself to use them in a new way—you may discover a favorite technique you never expected!
