UnFROGettably Handmade!

 Greetings, friends! I'm at the My Sweet Petunia Blog sharing an unFROGettable card, including the back design, too! Head over to the blog to see the full reveal! 

As always, I reached for my MISTI and other trusty tools from My Sweet Petunia.

One of my favorite things about using the MISTI is how easy it is to make multiples. Check out how I stamped the backs of several cards and added a whimsical coordinating touch to the back of today's card!  

 My Sweet Petunia tools that help me make (almost) every card include the Sticky Mats, Mini MISTI, Cut Align Ruler, and Alignment Grids. With them, stamping is a joyous pursuit!

Today's card features:

Unfrogettable (stamp)

Handmade By (stamp)

Ribbit (paper pack)

by SweetMissDaisy. 

All items are available now at the SweetMiss Daisy Designs Etsy shop!

T is for Tulips and T-Ruler

Hello!  Today, I am up on the My Sweet Petunia blog with the new Pixel Tulip stamp and the brand new MIS-T Ruler.  

The new MIS-T Ruler is a great add-on to your MISTI tool collection!  The ruler fits easily into the original size MISTI.  I placed my card along a grid line and I placed the ruler up against two sides of the MISTI.    Next, I placed the word die along the ruler edge for perfect alignment!  

Well, you know what I always say, If I have a stamp in the MISTI why not make more than one card!  I changed the color combo for the next card and added a stamped sentiment from Impression Obsession.

Wishing you a healthy and safe day!!  Thanks for stopping by!

A Forest Critter Hi!

  Hello! I am up on the My Sweet Petunia Blog today!  I love creating scenes with cute die-cuts but I don't enjoy cranking out all the pieces I need.  It can take quite a bit of time to make sure the images are die-cut perfectly and I am always impatient to get to the creative part!  Check out the My Sweet Petunia Blog for the step-by-step instructions on making die-cut scenes easy! 

I die-cut the Picket Fence Studios Tree from Bristol paper then I sprinkled Dark Brown Brushos on the tree trunk and a bit on the branches.  Then I activated the powder with water.  Next, I stamped Sweet Petunia Pink ink on my craft mat and spritzed it with water. I tapped the leaves of the tree through the bright pink ink and I did the same with Mustard Seed Yellow ink, more pink ink, and even tapped some of the brown Brushos on the leaves until I was happy with the color.  The background sky was blended with Life-Changing Blender Brushes.  The critters came from the Forest Critters Stopping by to Say Hi set and the Coordinating Die Set.  Also, the gorgeous Tree is greatly reduced right now so it's a great time to snap it up!

I used both the MISTI, the Mini MISTI, and the Cut-Align ruler for today's

 project.

I am also playing along with Sharon's Dare to Get Dirty Challenge.  I am also playing along with today's Ways To Use It Challenge to use something from your home as inspiration.  This painting was done by my daughter and hangs in my art room!

Birthday Balloons with the MISTI

Hello everyone!  Today, I am over on the My Sweet Petunia blog with this fun birthday balloon project.    

I use my MISTIs with every project but there are times when it's absolutely invaluable such as stamping with large solid stamps.  I stamped Sweet Petunia Pink Ink on a piece of cardstock but didn't like the results so I wiped the stamp then added Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers.  I was delighted to find that the stamp held onto some of the Sweet Petunia Pink ink!  Since I used the Mini MISTI, I repeatedly stamped the balloon, adding ink and water until I was satisfied with the look. I switched to the Original MISTI and added the balloon strings then back to the Mini for the sentiment!   I love it when I can rescue my mistakes so that is what I did with the bright pink balloon.   I die-cut two banners from the original balloon and added them to this card.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy stamping!

   

    

 

Dazzling Backgrounds

 Hello!  I am on the My Sweet Petunia Blog today sharing how I created dazzling backgrounds in a snap!  For step-by-step photos head on over to My Sweet Petunia!

Here is what I used for my first card:

Tooled Leather by Impression Obsession

Quietly On by Impression Obsession

Stitched Tag #4

Original MISTI

 I love how this one turned out!  Twisted Citron played well with Peacock Feathers and Seedless Preserves!  

I like to keep the main image or background stamp in my Original MISTI until I am completely done with the project.  In case disaster strikes and I ruin a piece or I just want to make more it's nice to keep the stamp in place. So for sentiments, I reach for my MINI MISTI. The Mini is lightweight and takes up so little space that it's a must-have for me!  

 

Using the MISTI it was a snap to create a dazzling array of backgrounds!

For this fiery version, I used Mustard Seed, Fired Brick, and Vintage Photo Distress Inks. 

The die-cut is Birthday Words by Impression Obsession

On the inside, I added a Double Dip Note.   I love these notes that give friends permission to pass the card on when they have loved it enough! The other tool I use almost every time I create a card is the Cut-Align rulers.  I love that they have a 0 center for perfect balance and I love the grid lines.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Sending Smiles with a MISTI

 Hi!  Today I am over at the My Sweet Petunia Blog featuring this card made with the beautiful Misted Watercolor Technique.   

 

It took me a REALLY long time to decide on a sentiment for this card but I finally decided on "sending smiles".  Speaking of smiles, one thing that really makes me smile is creating projects with my MISTI!  I would not want to try to stamp on watercolor paper without a MISTI as this required double stamping to achieve complete ink coverage. I would never have gotten the stamp to match exactly without a MISTI and that would have meant wasted paper and time!

  When using dark cardstock for the card base I like to add a Double Dip Notepaper on the inside.  Not only does it create a nice place to add a sentiment but it lets the recipient know it's ok to pass the card on! Head to the MISTI Shop for MISTIS, fun stamping tools, and more!

I hosted a Watercolor Challenge this week and we used Dina's Misted Watercolor Tutorial, which I also used to create this card.  If you would like to check out the tutorial click HERE.
