Using Creative Corners For Pattern Paper & Sentiment

The Creative Corners from My Sweet Petunia are a fantastic addition to your MISTI collection. I created fun thank you cards for friends featuring pattern paper and a sentiment that I wanted to stamp and share on a diagonal.

Place one of the spacers in the lower corner of the MISTI to cut the pattern paper at the right size and angle. Next, lay the pattern paper against the spacer and lay the creative corner on top of the pattern paper. Make a line with a pencil across the pattern paper. This is the cut line. Cut the pattern paper on the pencil line.

After gluing the pattern paper to the cardstock, lay the entire piece back in the MISTI and place the Creative Corner back on top. Line the sentiment against the creative corner, close the MISTI door, and pick up the stamp. Remove the Creative Corner and stamp the sentiment.

Here are all the fun finished cards. I love how they turned out and I will definitely be using the Creative Corners more often.

Here are the supplies I used for the cards. I could not find the Newton's Nook pattern paper that I used available anywhere.

Teal MISTI Inspired

 Hello, everyone, Angie here! I am featuring a couple of cards today.  In previous posts I have mentioned how much I love having more than one MISTI; today, I will show why.

In my new Teal MISTI, I placed a piece of cardstock and then drew a diagonal line with one of the triangles from the Creative Corners set.  Next, I placed the sentiment stamp on the pencil line and closed the MISTI lid.  I erased the pencil line and then stamped the sentiment twice for a crisp impression. 

For the next step, I positioned the corner magnets in the corners of the MISTI.  This enabled me to stamp leaves off the edge of the cardstock.  Now you will see my "Double MISTI tip" in action.  I placed my cardstock in the Black MISTI and stamped leaves randomly around the sentiment.  

The first card I created with the above method was the orange card pictured in the next photo.  Because the sentiment stamp was still in the first MISTI, it was easy to create another card inspired by the TEAL MISTI!  :)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Creative Corners with Mindy Eggen

Welcome everyone! I have some cards to share where I show you how I used the Creative Corners to stamp my images.

I also have a video showing you how I did this that you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.



Creative Corners are such a handy tool to have. The first thing I want to point out is how they allow me to hang my images off the edge of my card front.

By placing the corner down in the bottom of my Misti, I'm hanging my large palm trees off the edge.

The second thing I love about them is it helps me line up my sentiments.

These are screen shots from my video so be sure to check it out as I go into more detail how to use the corners.

I'm also using the Black Misti which is a collaboration between Hero Arts and My Sweet Petunia.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and dig out your corners if you have them! They are becoming a staple for me when stamping.

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 Ceal

Hi there! 

Welcome to Team Tuesday, it's Ceal here to share a shaker card with you today featuring some Concord & 9th products. 

If you are like me the Misti is a must have when using layering and background stamps.  Layering stamps for the life of me even though they are clear I cannot get them to line up without the Misti, background well I have small hands so it's pretty much impossible for me to hold that gianormous block. So the Misti is my best friend! 

To make my card I used the Original Misti and several Concord & 9th stamps. I started with the Blooms Fill In set, Versamark Ink and Gilded embossing powder by Brutus Monroe. I inked up the Fill In blooms background with Versamark ink and embossed it in gold. I love using the Misti when embossing because it allows me to get great coverage with the Versamark. 

Next I used some Catherine Pooler inks and again using the Misti to help me line up the layers I filled in all the flowers. Using the Creative Corners helped me be able to stamp the ones along the sides. 

I love the new Bar Magnets, you now how new stamps tend to lift your paper? well if you use two of them your paper doesn't move an inch!

After I got all the stamping done on the blooms, I cut out theChristmas tree using the Trim The Tree dies. 

To finish the card, I stamped a background using the Plaid Background stamp and the greeting from the Trim the Tree set also using Catherine Pooler inks.

 I placed some acetate over the negative of the Christmas Tree and then added foam tape around the edges. I added some sequins on the plaid background and then placed the front on top.

Wanna know how I used the tree itself?  I am doing a series of 25 days of Christmas Inspiration on my blog, so Check my blog tomorrow and you'll see.

Team Tuesday with Ilina and Storewide SALE!

Hi stampers!
It's Ilina and Happy Tuesday! Tuesday over here means that one of the My Sweet Petunia Design team members is taking over the blog and sharing their creations. So, today it my turn.

However before I go into my eye candy, I wanted to let you know that My Sweet Petunia is having a store wide sale this week. 20% off everything in the store. No code is necessary and the discount will be applied at checkout! So, if you have been on the verge of getting your first MISTI, or the 2nd or your 10th, now it's the time! You can visit the store HERE

And, now it's time to move to the eye candy. I have two cards for you today and a video! Since Thanksgiving is in couple days (in the US) I decided to go with Fall/Thanksgiving theme and used the Concord and 9th Dahlia turnabout stamp set and dies, the Hero Arts Have a Joyful thanksgiving wood mount stamp and the new Catherine Pooler Spa Collection inks! 

The Concord and 9th turnabout stamps are designed to be used with the MISTI. So I stamped the dahlia three times with Sauna, Daydream and Green tea inks, then for the 4th I stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with Hero Arts Copper Embossing powder. Then using 2 sets of Creative corners I created little positioning tool for wood mount stamps and the MISTI and magnets on the corners helped keep it in place in the MISTI, so stamping was a breeze. Watch the video below on how I did that. For my 2 card I did almost the same process, except for the last step of the dahlia instead of stamping, I die cut it, using the coordinating dies. 

I kept my cards simple because I wanted the focus to be on the Dahlia and the sentiment. 

     

Team Tuesday - Jeanne Streiff Solid Image Stamping

Hi! Jeanne here today!

I have many favorite uses for the MISTI but one of the best uses is the ability to stamp a solid image over and over until you get a nice evenly stamped image. Today's project is a very good example of that. Large solid images are so hard to stamp cleanly the first time, so much so that I used to avoid them. Now that I have the MISTI I love solid images so much!

I used my Mini MISTI today. I stamped my image (Technique Junkies Meow Chicka)
on watercolor paper (another challenge with solid images because of the texture). I stamped the cat 4 or 5 times to get a nice solid image. No worries about the stamp or paper shifting because the Round Magnets and Creative Corners  keep everything snugly in place. The result is a beautiful stamped image after repeat stamping.

I watercolored a fun splashy background and added color to the eyes and nose.

Team Tuesday Guest Post - Maria Sabina

Today is Team Tuesday! Before I introduce you to Maria, I wanted to tell you that the interview I did for the So Suzy podcast is up this morning here. Or you can listen via the embedded player below. Her podcasts are super informative - be sure and check out past episodes.

I had admired today's team member for years before asking her to be on our team. She lives in Romania, and is one of those rare hybrids of an incredible scrapbooker and an incredible cardmaker.

She wasn't able to join us in Phoenix, but we hope to have her at another event in the future so you can see her work in person.

Here she is in her own words:

"Hello to you all. I'm Maria Sabina , a young crafter from Romania. I love doing a bit of everything. From cardmaking, to sewing, cooking and other crafts. When I don't feel like doing any of that, then I like to explore new places, watch movies or do my nails. I don't really show this in my work, but I am a big fan of the Victorian era and vintage things. If you have a small crafty stash or corner like me, try to experiment and mix the old things with the new ones for great results."

________________________________________________________

Hello there! Maria Sabina over here. I hope you have a wonderful day! I don't know about you, but I definitely had a big problem wasting paper and ink,before using the wonderful MISTI. Well not anymore. I can finally enjoy stamping on another level and also save materials.

For today, I made a simple yet colorful card,using the Creative Corners along with the Original MISTI. Sadly, I don't have a video for today's card, but I promise to make one in the near future. The Creative Corners are really great. You are going to love them.

I hope you get inspired to use your colorful inks, mix the new and old stamps to create new beautiful cards. I had a great time stamping the background for this card, with the help of MISTI.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Team Tuesday Guest Post - Ceal Pritchett

It's Team Tuesday again, and we are happy to be introducing you to Ceal Pritchett. If you've ever met Ceal in person, you know her sweet southern drawl is beyond charming, and if you haven't met her - you need to! Ceal is a Stampin' Up! demonstrator as well as an experienced design team member. Her colorful and airy style and her kind heart are why she is on our team. Here she is in her own words. 

My name is  Ceal Pritchett and currently reside in the Smoky mountains of western NC,  I say currently  because my husband's company likes to move us around. My very supportive husband and I are empty-nesters, except for our fur baby Willis, a Shih Tzu who is more spoiled than the children were. We  share 3 children and one gorgeous perfect granddaughter and a grandson on the way.

I have been crafting since childhood, crafts was always my favorite at church or school. My mom always told me  as a child I would rather color on a rainy day when we couldn't go outside to play than watch TV, the same hold true today, I love to color and craft. 

My style is clean and simple and you can find me  and my work on my blog  Simply Beautiful  or over on Instagram as Cealp.

I am so blessed to be part of this amazing team that represents the most amazing stamping tool ever invented. The MISTI has truly changed the way I stamp and how much I stamp. How did I ever stamp without it??

______________________________________

Hey Ya'll !

I am so blessed to be a part of Team Misti, this tool totally changed my relationship with stamps. It has also saved me lots of frustration. I would finish my card and go to add the greeting and stamp it crooked or not dark enough and I don't know about you but clear stamps or not, I could not line it up to over stamp it to make it darker. 

I love my Misti! If I were told I that I could only keep one crafting tool, it definitely would be the Misti, no question about it.

Before the Misti was invented I had also quit buying layering stamps because I just could not get them to work for me, the Stamp-a-jig was my worst enemy, no matter how much I tried it just didn't work. Now I can buy all these gorgeous layering stamps like the one I used on my card from Concord & 9th. 

 To make my card I used the Original MISTI and the new Creative Corners, these were released at Creativation this year and they are amazing! They allow you to stamp off of your panel at any angle.

Using cold press watercolor paper I randomly stamped the butterfly and then heat embossed them with white embossing powder. 

Next I stamped the butterfly on repositionable labels  and cut them out to mask off the embossed images and and stamped "Happy Birthday" across the panel using Brustus Monroe Raven Ink. The Creative Corners also allowed me to move the panel where I needed to continue to stamp across.

The next step was to remove the masks and watercolor the butterflies using Zig real brush clean color pens.
