Lucky To Have You As A Friend

I created a fun card using the MISTI to do stamping after I assembled the card.

Stamping sentiments and images after the card is created is dicey without a MISTI tool.

To create the pink ombre ink blending I used Tim Holtz Distress inks in Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick, Saltwater Taffy and Tattered Rose.

Precision Stamping with the MISTI

 Creating a card with layered stamping is so much easier using the MISTI. Each of the boots on this card require multiple stamps to create a finished image.

For the base of the boot I stamped the color in full pigment, for the layers I stamped off once on MISTI grid paper and then stamped to the card base. Using the MISTI made the process faster and more precise.

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.

Fantastic Use of the Sticky Mat

 Hello friends, 

I just love my MISTI Sticky Mats for holding in place smaller die cuts, or large pieces of cardstock to stamp a large image.

When your stamp must cover your entire cardstock piece, slip in a sticky mat and you're all set.

In this example, my cardstock is cut at 3-1/4" x 8-1/4" for a slimline layer. The adorable stamp from Trinity Stamps is just slightly larger than this piece of cardstock, leaving no space for the magnet on the cardstock to hold it in place. 

Insert a sticky mat and add your magnet to the sticky mat to hold it in place and you're ready to stamp.

 

I created this fun card using the Beary Cute Layered Mug die set.

Using Multiple MISTIs For Creating

 Today I am sharing two cards I created using both my Original MISTI and my Mini MISTI. 

For this card, I used the Mini MISTI and the sticky mats to get my stamping just right on this tiny piece of inked cardstock. I chose to heat emboss the sentiment and knew I would need to stamp multiple times on this tiny piece of paper.

Using the sticky mat is the perfect solution for stamping on small bits of cardstock. For all the items glued together, I used the Precision Glue Press.

For the second card, I used my Original MISTI to stamp the turnabout stamp. Unfortunately, I did not have the correct products to use the turnabout correctly, but I was able to make it work with the help of the MISTI.

After creating this background I cut it down to use for smaller pieces on the card base.

Here is the supply list for these cards:

Scrapbooking With The MISTI

Hi Friends,

Wendy here.

Today I am sharing a fun idea using my new Memory MISTI. The Memory MISTI is such a cool tool. I'll do a lot with this when creating my scrapbook for my daughter, Macie, over the next few years. In today's post and video, I just got my feet wet learning how to use this tool. 

I started by using this large 6x6 background stamp to stamp in the bottom right corner. Then I turned the cardstock 180 degrees and stamped again in Blueberry ink from Concord & 9th.

This gave a little extra interest in the background of the photos. In hindsight I wish I would have layered the die cut letters and journaling over the stamping vs the photos. But, I am learning and getting back in the scrapbooking game.

All in all, I am very happy with the way my first scrapbook pages in 10 years turned out. It's a journey, not a race or destination. As I get my feet wet in this side of papercrafting again I feel excited to explore the new options and ideas that will come my way.

Fair warning, I share about life and adventures along the way. I'm not strictly a teacher/cardmaker/crafter I am kind of a vlogging crafter. I hope enjoy the stories and sharing along with the crafting.

Here is my supply list for this project.

Multiple Tags All At Once

 Today I am sharing the simplicity of stamping multiple projects all at the same time. These cute little die cut tags are from Honey Bee Stamps free"bee" goodies. 

I have several May birthdays to celebrate and I enjoy making my own tags and gift wrapping as often as possible. However, I didn't want to spend hours creating the tags. Simplicity was my goal.

Using the sticky mat in my Original MISTI was the trick to making these tags quick and easy. I lined up all of my tags and then added the sentiments to get everything arranged perfectly.

I stamped the sentiments two times. This is the magic of the MISTI. I was able to stamp these sentiments once and get perfect stamping using my MISTI. 

In just a few seconds I stamped 3 tags. After that, I just decorated them using a few simple elements.

 

 Here is a list of supplies used for these cute little tags. The dies are not listed because they were a free gift from Honey Bee.

Do You Need Two Different MISTI Sizes?

Hello Friends,

I am excited to be back this month to share a fun card with you featuring some beautiful products. 

For this card, I used Copic Markers to color the floral arrangement and the beautiful Lovely Layers Hummingbird. I ink blended in Villainous Potion around the floral arrangement and heat embossed the sentiment in white.

Do you need two different MISTI sizes? Well need is an interesting word. For this card, I stamped my sentiment on the front using my Mini MISTI and it worked great.

However, after I completed the card I realized I wanted to stamp my name on the back of the card. When I tried to do this in the Mini MISTI with the card folded I could tell it was going to be an issue. I had already added the hummingbird and it was popped up on foam tape. 

So Original MISTI to the rescue. All my stamping still came out perfectly.

Here is the supply list for the items I used.

How Did We Survive Without The MISTI?

 (All products are linked below using affiliate links )

Hi Friends,

Wendy here. I am so pleased with how this card turned out. The dies and sentiment is from HoneyBee Stamps. 

I stamped the sentiment for this card 3 times... BEFORE I grabbed my MISTI and realized I was having a momentary relapse to archaic stamping days.

When I couldn't get the sentiment to stamp nice and dark and clean and clear I immediately grabbed my Original Black MISTI and bam. Perfect sentiment stamping. 

How did we ever stamp before the MISTI?

AND... How did we ever glue these teeny tiny pieces before the Precision Glue Press? I don't know it's a mystery to me too.

Thanks for checking in and hanging out for a few minutes. I hope you enjoy this card. All the products are linked below.

Hugs

Wendy
