 Come and use a MISTI with me!


Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented (that is what MISTI stands for)

Out of all the stamping tools I have used, I prefer the MISTI.

There are several similar items on the market and if you have a different brand, use it.  MISTI was the first brand to come out with this type of stamping tool.  A few of my Best Friends got together for my 40th birthday and gifted me my MISTI.  I have the 8.5x11 inch version and I LOVE it.  I prefer to stamp with it.  I love that if I do not get a clear image the first time, I can go back and reink it.  I do not know everything about using a MISTI but I will show you how I use it.

A few things you can do with the MISTI or any stamping platform:

Layering Stamps
Perfect impressions
Mass Producing cards
Stamping on die cuts (after you have cut them)
Large Stamps, background stamps, solid stamps easily

Cleaning your misti, I have had good luck with the stampin up cleaner and have had no issues with my screen printed grid coming off.

Simple way of using your Misti

Put your paper down, then the magnets.  I have washi tape on my magnets so that I can pick them up easier.

Position the stamps on your paper 
Close the door, this will pick up your stamps





Ink your stamps and flip over your door to the paper side.
Use your hand to rub and push down the door or a Stamp chuckie



Open the door and if your image needs reinking, reink it and reapply!  If you make sure your paper is butted against the side and bottom or top, if your paper moves at all, just put it back in the exact same place.  It's the best thing in the world.  Think background stamps, large stamps, solid stamps, oh and don't forget layered stamps!  This makes it so much easier!

Come and make your own sublimation spray with me!

  Come make some sublimation spray with me! You are asking yourself what is sublimation spray and what is it used for? Well, as you may or may not know, you have to sublimate on polyester.  The higher the % of polyester the higher chance your image will stay on the item you are subbing on. Well, I found a way to make some spray that you can spray on cotton or any other fabric and it will sublimate.   For instance, I tried sublimating on this random patch I have.  I don't know what it is made of so i wanted to see if it would work.  It didn't.   Random Patch with no sub spray: Then I made the sublimation spray. Items you need: Polycrylic protective finish, I used clear satin but you can use clear matte as well. Spray Bottle Water Then your usual sublimation products: Sub paper Sub printer Heat press Fabric to sublimate on To make the spray, use 8 ounces of water and 2 tablespoons of Polycrylic.  Mix them together into a jar (I used a mason jar to keep the excess available.)  Pou

Come Craft With Me! I'm not sure why, but I LOVE foil and foiling.  I don't actually foil all that often but I love how it looks.  My husband bought me the Minc Foil machine for Valentines Day and I'm excited to play with it. I will go through each Foil tool below: (This is going to be a long blog post) Fun Foils by  Queen and Co. Nail Foil by Amazon Heatwave Pen by We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill for a cutting machine such as (Silhouette Cameo, Cricut) by We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill Freestyle which is a handheld foil writer by We R Memory Keepers Minc Foil Machine by Heidi Swapp Queen and Co. Fun Foils This foil sticks to sticky surfaces.  If you are not familiar with Queen & Co. they make super cute shaker card stuff.  The foil they came out with will stick to their shakers or really any sticky surface like tape or glue. you simply press the foil to the sticky surface and it is foiled.  Super simple, super easy.  Sometimes you do not get a good foiled surface so I a
