Another Way To Use Stamping Templates

Hello Friend,

Wendy here to share with you a new way to use your MISTI Stamping Templates. Not too long ago I created some fun stamping templates using the MISTI Sticky Mats.

You can see that tutorial HERE.

For this card, we used the stamping template to stamp an image in a circle vs a sentiment.

I used a fun stamp set from Honey Bee Stamps and colored the image with colored pencils on a kraft cardstock.

Ho ho ho, ho ho!

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from a chilly pacific northwest! I don’t know about you, but I’ve got Santa on the brain! :) We have a bit longer to pull out all of our cute holiday Santa images and put together some cards to celebrate the season. 

The cards I’m sharing today were made using Santa stamps from Whipper Snapper Designs. 

I love the country primitive style. Do you?!

I love how the Mini MISTI allows me to stamp perfect images on textured watercolor paper, 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 too, and stamped images on watercolor paper (or other textured papers) are a breeze!

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today!

Dreams Take Flight with the MISTI

Hello friends, with the MISTI artistic dreams can take flight! I love to watercolor my stamped images, but instead of a dream taking flight, often it would be crash and burn time. Essentially, time and paper were wasted by poor impressions. With the invention of the MISTI, that changed, and artsy dreams can now take flight!  

I placed a Sticky Mat in the Black MISTI, then the textured paper. I stamped the image several times for a perfect impression.  After coloring and splattering the image, I placed the card in a Mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment.

DIY Sticky Mat Templates For MISTI

Today I have an incredibly cool DIY project to share with you. Many years ago Maureen Wong shared how to use templates to get perfect stamping with die cut circles. Everyone loves border stamping a sentiment and these templates make it easy to get perfect stamped sentiments each time.

In today's video I will be expanding on Maureens ideas and sharing how to make your own DIY stamping templates from Sticky Mats.

Here's what you'll need:

• Sharper Marker - Fine Point
• New Sticky Mats Regular or Memory
• Good scissors that can cut sticky mat 
• MISTI T Square Ruler
• Microfiber Cloth
• Templates can be printed HERE.

I have linked to all the items below the video.

 

Step 1) Lay the Sticky Mat on top of the template with the acetate side facing down. You'll be tracing on the BACK of the Sticky Mat.

Step 2) After tracing all the lines, carefully cut out the template shape.

Step 3) Choose your circle and sentiment and start stamping.

Happy Haunting!

Happy Halloween! I hope you have a safe and sweet Halloween.  

The MISTI is a fantastic tool for everyday stamping and more! It did a spectacular job with the clear, solid stamps I used on this project. 

First, I masked the moon and blended Distress Ink over the entire cardstock. Then I placed a Sticky Mat and my inked cardstock in the MISTI. I positioned the haunted mansion in the center of the cardstock and picked up the stamp with the lid. Clear, solid stamps usually need to be stamped more than once, so I love that the Sticky Mat holds my paper in place for precision stamping every time!  I stamped the bats twice to get a dark impression and added the sentiment!

Caught a Bug!

 

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from the pacific northwest! The card I’m sharing today was made using the recently released Get Well Bug limited edition clear stamp set from Whipper Snapper Designs. Since I was stamping on watercolor paper, I needed to be able to stamp the images and sentiment multiple times to ensure a great impression! I used to Mini Misti to stamp the happy bug and his trail lines in various places on the watercolor panel. The Mini Misti also allowed me to precisely place the sentiment and stamp it several times to get a great impression!

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!
