My Favorite Things and Misti Blog Hop...

Welcome to the My Favorite Things and Misti Blog Hop!  We have a great line up today of projects showcasing MFT and the mazing Misti Stamping Tool. Check out the MFT Blog for a full line up of stops to make.  

One of my most favorite uses for the Misti is double stamping.  With the Misti, double stamping a perfect image is completely possible.  This gives you a solid image and even brighter color when you can add layers of ink.  In today's card, I used double stamping with Versamark to create a solid heat embossed image.  

I lined up a piece of Vellum inside the Misti.  The benefit of using this great tool is having those graph lines.  You are able to line up your stamps perfectly within your cardstock.  

I used the fabulous bar magnets to hold down the Vellum and then stamped the image 3 times to ensure a perfectly coated, Versamark image.  This allowed to get great embossing powder coverage. 

I love that embossed look!  I layered the vellum on a piece of white cardstock that I added the Lots of Heart Stencil to with some Candied Apple Oxide Ink.  I decided to go in a little on the edges with some Worn Lipstick Oxide ink just to add a little pink details.

I added a small strip of Silver Glitter Washi to the top of the card and then attached the 2 pieces together with a staple.  I know staples are a different way to adhere paper together on a card but I do love the detail of the silver staple. 

I attached the stenciled and vellum card front to a white card base using foam tape.  Last, I fussy cut one of the hearts from the stencil and added it to the vellum front.  I added a layer of Glossy Accents to the heart for a little shine.  

I hope you have enjoyed my card today.  Please stop over to the MFT Blog for more details.  There are lots of prizes to be given away and you will be able to find all those details over there.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Have a great weekend!

sending hedgehugs...

This little bitty stamp set from Lawn Fawn is SO much fun.  And you know...now that I am trying to color again (for the billionth time), I love these fun little images.  We had a crafty weekend recently and I was completely inspired by all the ladies and their big bags of Copics.  I wondered if I would try it again when I got home with my cups of 18 markers...and I did!  An easy image...but its a step!



So I cut out a Lil Inker Stitched Rectangle and lined it up in the corner of my Misti.  I lined up these 3 images on the grid so they were nice and straight.  I stamped them with Tuxedo Memento.  I don't know about you...but I am not a fan of that black.  My go-to black is Versafine Black Onyx.  It is so amazingly bold and perfect and next to it, Memento looks like a dark gray.



I proceeded to color these fun little hedgehogs and when I was done realized I still had my stamps lined up in the Misti.  People have been double stamping all over the place with the Misti and it works great!



So I put the stitched rectangle back in the Misti and added another layer of Versafine Black Onyx.  It gave it a nice bold look over the top of that Memento.  I also added a dot of Glossy Accents into that little heart.



Last, I added a heart onto the envelope.  I made a little 3 1/2 x 4 1/2 envelope to go with this little Mini card.  That envelope maker is such a great tool to have!



So that's it for me today!  I have a card for the Simon Says April Card Kit coming up soon!  :)

Have a great night!

Sentiment Stamping and a Video...

I have a fun little CAS card and video to share today.  I have no idea what this technique is called.  I have seen it done quite a few times but I figured out a way to make it SUPER easy with the Misti. (Which maybe has been done already too...) Yes....I know I have been raving about this thing but I can't help it.  It's genius.

So here is my card....



A fun little sentiment and flower from the Simon says set called Floral Bookmark....

And here is the video on how I made it...So easy!




Hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for stopping in!
