Neat and Tangled Day 4

Hello everyone! I am Daria from Neat and Tangled Desigh Team! I am super excited about this collaboration with My Sweet Petunia! I've never thought that would be so much in love with MISTI. It makes any stamping so very easy and presice! 

Today, I want to share a card that I made using MISTI tool and two just released stamp sets from Neat and Tangled: So Good to See You and Ornate Frames. 

With a help of MISTI, I stamped two identical panels with flowers and leaves in black. On one of them, I stamped and die-cut the frame, which I foam-mounted over the second one. Love the dimensional and "continuos" effect :)

Here you can watch a little video how it all came together :) Hope you enjoy, and thanks so much for joining us today :)

Day 3 Blog take over is by Nina-Marie Trapani.

I love using my MISTI for all my cardmaking projects; literally EVERY project! Today I've used Neat & Tangled's new So Good to See You and Painted Hello stamp and die sets to create a clean and simple watercolor scene.

I'm also using the MISTI, showing how easy it is to quickly stamp multiple images. Be sure to check out the video below!

Neat and Tangled Day 2

Hello!  This is Amy from the Neat & Tangled Design Team!  I'm so excited to be sharing a quick card set that I made using the wonderful MISTI along with Heart of Gold stamp set by Neat & Tangled.

For my particular project, the benefits of stamping a set of cards quickly is a huge plus.  I'm one of those people that find mass production not high on my to-do list. 

TIP:  I started off with a set of card panels that have been die cut so they are all the same size.

With the huge trend of watercoloring, the MISTI is a fabulous tool to use.  The texture of watercolor paper tends to make stamping a challenge.

I used Mowed Lawn Distress Ink with the heart image.

I was able to quickly stamp a set of the panels.

I did a quick wash of water on the panel and needed to finish off the card with the sentiment.

I ended up stamping the sentiment twice because the first round just wasn't crisp enough.

I finished off my card with splatters of gold and bundled them up with chunky wool yarn.  It's a quick and fun gift that was a snap to make.

A big shout out to Iliana for collaborating with Neat and Tangled!

Neat and Tangled Day1

Welcome to Neat & Tangled + My Sweet Petunia collaboration week! The Neat & Tangled design team will be sharing projects every day this week using the fabulous MISTI stamping tool. Be sure to visit every participating blog daily and leave comments for your chance to win amazing prizes!

Today's blog post is brought to you by the talented Emily Leiphart. 

I used the three-step stamping or step-stamping technique with the Ornate Frames and Painted Hello sets to create an interlocking frame background for the main sentiment.  The smaller words within the frames are from the Blog Planner stamp set and the dry embossed stars on the front panel were created with the Seeing Stars die.

To add a bit of shimmer to the card, I embellished with shades of light yellow and orange sequins from the Buttercream and Spooktacular sequin mixes.

Thanks so much for stopping by and be sure to stop by the Neat & Tangled blog for your chance to win a MISTI, as well as the My Sweet Petunia blog for your chance to win a $100 gift voucher to the Neat & Tangled store!

Sweepstakes Winner

Hi everyone!  Thanks for your patience with the announcement of the winners for the Christmas Card Sweepstakes.  It has been a crazy holiday season and throwing in preparing for CHA Mega Conference and Trade Show made it even crazier.  I will do a wrap up of CHA as soon as I can wrap my head around it.

If  you recall from this post, we had a good old fashioned sweepstakes.  I asked for Christmas cards to be submitted for a chance to win My Sweet Petunia's new product.  At the time, no one was aware of what the prize would be.  Once CHA announced that the product was up for Hot Product for 2016, the cat was out of the bag.

I will start with the random winners.  I had 286 cards sent in.  I took each card and entered it into a spreadsheet.  Every card was assigned a number.  Using a random number generator, the winning number were 7, 141, and 249.

Patty H. from Westfield, Indiana
Jennifer T. from Salt Lake City, Utah

The second part of the Christmas Card Sweepstakes was to pick my top three favorites.  It was very hard to select because there were so many good cards.

Marie F. from Oslo, Norway

This card caught my eye because of the coloring.  The design was simple but made an impact.  She submitted several cards and it was hard too choose from her entries.  All of her cards were so amazing.  Marie, your attention to detail is extraordinary.

Teresa K. from Morehead City, North Carolina

The sparkles caught my eye.  The picture does not do it justice.  The blue in the background makes me want to go color.  She also submitted several cards

Rubeena F. from Jersey City, New Jersey

This one was postmarked December 24th.  Talk about last minute....  It was worth the wait.  This was my most favorite from all the entries.   It was so cleaver to use the sequence for the tea bag.    The watercoloring is so elegant.  The little spoon is so cute.  Rubeena, you need to email me with a list of supplies, because I want them all.  If you have a YouTube channel or blog please let me know so I can follow you.

Jaydyn's Pick
Cyndi S. from St Louis, Missouri

Jaydyn said that she loved the kitties the best.  Cyndi said that she made 50 of these with the help of her MISTI.




Thank you to all those that participated.  There was a lot of hard work that went into each and every one of these cards.  I do have to admit that there are just a few cards that I will keep and do a Periscope about later.  The rest will be mailed to the wonderful people of Splitcoast Stampers to donate for their card drives.

Winners will receive a Mini MISTI that was handmade by me.  Your Minis will be mailed to the address provided by you.  Congratulation!

Mini MISTI

It's a new year and I have a new product to share.  I actually have been sitting on this for two years. Mini MISTI was created at the same time as the original.  That's right I have had it all along.  One of my friends was surprised that I could keep the secret for so long.

It is a great companion to the original.  Mini MISTI is perfect for smaller projects.  A folded A2 card will fit in this 6 x 7 version.  The stamping area measures 6 x 4.75. Although the stamp area is much smaller, you can still get a lot of techniques out of this little beauty. The smaller footprint will be awesome on our desks.  Not to mention how stinkin' cute this is.

The one you see here is one that I made.  Let me tell you that it was even harder to make the little one.  Not sure how I survived making the originals way back in the day.

I have a short video on how this Mini MISTI works.  It's a short video and the techniques are not limited to those you see.  The video is so fast because I was limited to 2 minutes to enter into the CHA Hot Products Showcase.   The Mini was selected as a finalist in the CHA Hot Products 2016.

Mini MISTI is available for preorder at My Sweet Petunia.  Estimated shipping is March 1st.

I hope you love this version as much as the original.
