Good morning! Today is an amazing blog hop to celebrate both Pinkfresh Studio and My Sweet Petunia - the inventor of the amazing MISTI tool! You aren't going to want to miss a stop along the way - TONS of inspiration and a couple of fabulous prizes up for grabs! YAY!
I'm sharing a look at two cards today - the first one was one I recreated in a different color combo for yesterday's Facebook Live video - you can check it out HERE if you want more info on how I created these cards using one of Pinkfresh Studio's Pop Out Stamps and my MISTI tool!
The first card I'm sharing uses the versatile Pop Out Straight Stripes to create a full plaid background for my card with a mix of Peach Fuzz, Coral Reef, and Rocky Slope dye inks (all of which are on SALE this weekend!). These stamps make it so easy! Check out the video on Facebook to see more of how it was done!
I die cut that panel with Essentials: Stitched Rectangles to mount with foam on a white cardbase.
I also die cut cut the smaller die from Essentials: Braided Ovals from vellum to layer over the top and add my sentiment. The sentiment is from the new exclusive Scrapbook.com Everyday Script Word Dies.
Finished off with a few jewels from Essentials: Jewels mix to add a touch of sparkle!
The second card to share uses the exact same technique, but instead of continuing on to fill my entire card front, I only did 3 strips of the same colors in each direction.
I trimmed this panel down with the same Essentials: Stitched Rectangles to mount with foam on a white cardbase as with the first card.
I added some floral outlines with Blooming Bouquet stamp set and Detail Black ink in the corners, and used the same stamp set to add a sentiment in the center.
And...just like before, finished off with a few jewels from Essentials: Jewels mix to add a touch of sparkle!
So there you go - two cards, same technique with the MISTI, and two very different and fun looks!
Which version do you like best? And what color combo would you like to try?
I also wanted to mention this promotion - since it goes along perfectly with the lovely ink pads I used for my cards today! All Full Size Ink Pads are 15% off this weekend only!

Love these! I didn't think I needed that stamp set until I watched your live video yesterday (well, until my cats disconnected my internet) but it's definitely on my list now. The MISTI allows for so many ways to use this stamp.
ReplyDeleteSimple and beautiful, love them!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards!! Always love stripes & plaids! I really like the one on the left where you have just a few stripes and black stamped flowers. I am definitely going to case that one with a recent flower stamp I purchased!!
ReplyDeleteHeather, I always enjoy watching you live when I get the chance! I love the way you use this stripes and made the plaid designs. The color choice and layout so pretty.
ReplyDeleteSO enjoy all of your videos and blog posts. I definitely pinned this one this morning. LOVE that one with 3 stripes each way!!! Thank you for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Heather...I feel like I am getting to know you and your style more and more after watching your live youtube tutorials. I really like the cards you have contributed to this hop! Thank you for the inspiration! 💗
ReplyDeleteI loved watching your FB live event on Thursday to see how you recreated this card. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the other card close up--I saw the one on the FB Live, but the one where you made the plaid all over is extra extra cute!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!! Thanks for the inspiration !!
ReplyDeleteOptions for the pop-outs are infinite, and w/ the Misti, precise and repeatable, as you beautifully demonstrated. Your plaid is awesome, but your restraint w/ just 3 strips is a great example of not needing to fill the page to get beautiful results-- something that's easier with the pop-outs. Thanks for that reminder, and for sharing your creative talents on the hop! Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty cards! I really like the stripe backgrounds. I enjoyed your face book video showing how you made them.
ReplyDeleteBefore I started stamping I never would have imagined such a simple stamp could make such a dynamic pattern. The Misti is a game changer and your cards are lovely!

ReplyDeleteYour plaids are great; I especially like the second card!
ReplyDeleteI have been debating about whether or not to get the stripes die and stamps and I have to say this inspires me to at least start with the stamp. I’m particularly fond of the second one in it’s elegance.
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes!
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes! I think I like the floral card better, but I loved it on the Facebook live, too!
