Team Tuesday with Mindy Eggen!






Welcome everyone! This is Mindy Eggen and I'm thrilled to be sharing some inspiration with you today! I'll be using the My Monthly Hero Kit from September 2019. I am a huge fan of Halloween so most of these cards have a Halloween feel to them. My last couple cards are just really fun lol.

VIDEO DETAILS


I have a video that you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.




CARD DETAILS


My first card features quite a few of the new products that were released in September.

I first start out with ink blending Key Lime Fizz and Blue Raspberry Reactive Ink onto White card stock using Life Changing Blender Brushes. Once dry, I spritz with water to add some interest.


Next, I die cut the Spider Web Window from Pitch Black card stock and adhere over my ink blended background. The Happy Halloween is from the My Monthly Hero kit and die cut from Pixie Dust card stock.






I added images that I had stamped with my Misti Tool and colored with my copic markers using I See Crafting and Pure Magic stamp set.


I love how it looks like the background is glowing behind the web.






My next card is featuring the Peek-A-Boo Drawers Fancy die and stamp set. This is what drew me into the kit. This card is a little more work but love the look!


I started my card a little backwards than most. First, I die cut my Peek-A-Book Drawers from Pitch Black card stock. Then using my Misti Stamping Tool and Misti Corners, I lined up the coordinating stamp set. I found this much easier to get my image to line up with the die cut.


I stamped the image with Embossing Ink onto the die cut panel and heat embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.






I stamped handles/labels onto each of the windows with Embossing Ink and heat embossed those in Gold Embossing Powder as well.


On a piece of white card stock, I ink blended the same color combination as I did in a previous card. Once that was dry, I lined my ink blended panel into my Misti and using the die cut piece as a guide, I started added images that would fit in those drawers. I used images from the stamp set in the kit, and I See Crafting. You'll get a better idea what I'm talking about when you see it in the video.






When I had all the images lined up, I removed the front piece which is the Peek-A-Boo panel, closed the door of my Misti to pick up all the stamps at once and stamped the images with Versafine Ink onto my ink blended panel.






When I had all the spaces filled, I added the Peek-A-Boo panel with Liquid glue. The Peek-A-Boo die embosses lines so you can fold up the windows and show the inside. Then I can add this panel to an A2 size notecard and add a message inside.






My last set of cards is not really Halloween related but really cool. For these, I'm using the Add-ons that were released with the kit including Bug Collection and the Color Layering Moth.


I have two different versions of the moth. One of them I stamped in Forest, Lime Green and Dusty Blue which I had received in previous kits. My other moth is stamped in Blue Raspberry, Pool Party and Thistle Reactive Inks.


To make them sparkle and shine, I inked the entire image with Embossing ink and heat embossed with Sparkle Embossing Powder. Then used the coordinating die to cut them out.






I thought the Bug Collection background stamp was really cool. It reminded me of the bug collections we used to have to do in Science Class.


I stamped the background stamp onto Kraft card stock, once in Cocoa ink and once in Sand Stone ink. When using red rubber stamps with the Misti tool, you will need to remove the foam insert as the rubber stamps already have that cushion. 






I originally tried to stamp the sentiment in black ink onto the front panels but it got lost in the background so I stamped then onto White card stock and added to the front instead.






My colorful moths are added to the front with foam squares for dimension.


I hope you enjoyed today's inspiration using the My Monthly Hero Kit! Remember, the kit is only available while supplies last so if you like the Peek-A-Boo drawers, you'll want to grab this kit!

Team Tuesday with Ceal


Hello Everyone!
It's Ceal, here to share with you today for Team Tuesday. Yesterday was officially fall and fall means it's sweater weather and I love it. 
I thought it would be appropriate to use the Sweater Weather Turnabout by Concord & 9th for my cards. 
The turnabout stamps were created specifically with the MISTI in mind and I love them. Now they also come with an alignment sheet so no more drawing the X on the back of your stamp and it also makes it super easy to line up. 
Even though I used the same stamp, both my cards have a totally different look. 

My first card I placed the Sweater Weather Turnabout in the Original Misti and a stamped it all four turns in Gina K Designs Chocolate Truffle Amalgam ink and then colored it alcohol markers. I used the Large Turnabout Jig to hold my paper. I used the coordinating dies for the greeting and the other elements. 


I created the second card the same as the first but I stamped the Sweater Weather Turnabout four turns in different colors, Sweet Corn, Soft Stone, Faded Brick and Tranquil Teal All by Gina K Designs. This time I stamped a greeting that is also in the set and used the ruler from the Creative Corners to line it up and the coordinating dies to cut it out.

Team Tuesday with Kia

 Kia here with you today to share this clean and simple card using my Original Misti and Penny Black stamps.

I did do a video, but for some reason my camera decided not to focus .... need I say more? Annoying!
 I decided to place my stamp slightly off centre for interest. 

And this is why I love Misti. 

I coloured the stamp as I went along using Distress Markers in Twisted Citron, Lucky Clover and Peacock Feathers. I spritzed after each addition of colours and cleaned the stamp periodically so as to not get a build up of water that could go where it was not wanted.

Colouring this way would have been unheard of before Misti. 

Once I was done with the leaves I cleaned the stamp and proceed to colour the berries using Worn Lipstick and White Jelly Pen.
To finish up I stamped the sentiment using VersaFine Clair ink in Paradise. I then added the bird, again using the Paradise Ink. 

Although it does not show in the pictures, I did add Nuvo Shimmering Pen in Midas Touch to the berries, and also added a few sequins.

Thank you for joining me today.

MISTI: Concord & 9th Just Love




I was good about posting the second half of the summer.  Well, I was actually gone to Houston during all those posts.  I had planned ahead.  Then I got home and nothing.  Well here is a card I actually made two months ago.  I meant to post it the last week I was gone.  My plan was to get home and continue my streak.

Then life happens.  I missed two weeks...or was it three.  I am not sure.  All I know is summer is sadly over and I am back to life.

See the video below to see how this card as well as a few others were made.

Team Tuesday with Ilina: Quick and Easy mass producing

Hi everyone!
Ilina here taking over the My Sweet Petunia blog for a Team Tuesday. Today I am sharing a quick video and how quickly is to mass produce cards using your MISTI. 
I am using the new Hero Arts Color Layering Moth and I am stamping punch of them directly onto already die cut white card stock and playing with few fun color combinations. I made only 4 cards and saved the rest of the images I stamped for future use. 
My moto is: when you have your MISTI out why not stamp bunch when everything is already lined up. 

Watch the video below to see how this cards came to be!

Team Tuesday with Kia

We have a few changes coming here at My Sweet Petunia, so for today I am sharing different projects aided by MISTI.


On Wednesday nights I usually have watercolour classes, however a couple of times a year our teacher takes a break. So during those breaks the rest of us get together and we make cards.
A few of the girls are getting into the card making and buying their own goodies, but most come just for the fun of it. 

You can see in the top picture that Misti plays a major role in our card making nights. I now have the ladies tooting the horn of My Sweet Petunia and they all now what it is. 
One lady had me laughing when she said if I won a Million Dollars I would buy more MISTI's. 😂
On our last Wednesday we used Alcohol inks on Yupo. Most had never heard of Yupo before, let alone Alcohol ink. 

It is always fun to see what they will do. I am never disappointed at their creativity.

Thanks for visiting My Sweet Petunia. I hope today's post reminds you of when you first met MISTI.
