MISTI and Concord and 9th blog hop (and videos ;))



Hi stampers! Happy Weekend!!!! 
As you all may know Concord and 9th is one of my favorite stamp companies. I was thrilled to be a Guest Designer last month and I am as much thrilled now to be doing a blog hop and sneak peek for 2 of the new sets coming out tomorrow. These sets are made to work with the MISTI tool!!! So exciting! 

Note: The release goes live on April 9th, at 9AM MT (11AM EDT) I will add the links to the products at that time 

First up is the Triangle Turnabout background stamps, and it's so much fun. It's a builder background stamp and you build up the triangle background by turning your paper 90 degrees each time you stamp. I did up to 3 times (but you can add 4). 
I created a little template (6x6) from Neenah 110lb card stock and drew the square diagonals to use as guides for positioning my stamp and adhering temporarily the card stock panel I want to stamp on.
As you can see, I couldn't stop at only one card, but kept making more. Then I did few more backgrounds that still need to be turned onto cards, but I wanted to experiment with different color card stock and the Distress Oxides.

Watch the video below to see how the cards came about! 


I apologize then the video starts I have an extra "O" in Concord. I will fix it shorty.








Next up is the set and die bundle called. Many Mandalas, again, designed for the Original MISTI stamping too. I used only the set, without the dies on my card below. I used Altenew Moon rock and Volcano Lake to build. the mandalas. 
Scroll down for video. 





Now onto the fun part, follow the blog hop below and leave comment in each blog for a chance to win the Concord and 9th FULL April release and an ORIGINAL MISTI. Winner will be selected on April 10th (which happens to be my birthday :P) and notified by Concord and 9th

You did a great job explaining the stamp set, especially for 3am! Concord & 9th always comes up with such unique products. That volcano lake ink is probably my favorite color & it looked great with the black. Thanks for sharing a great card.
Meryl said…
Your use of the mandala stamp guide was a perfect demonstration of how easily it works. And your ink and cardstock colors coordinated so beautifully!
Sue McRae said…

Jana said…
Love the graphic feeling of these
Wendy said…
So many possibilities!!
Lindar C said…
All your cards are fantastic! I learned that you don't have to use all four turns on the Triangle turnaround stamps, even two looks fantastic. I love that Concord & 9th included a template for the Many Mandala stamps. I wish every color- layering stamps came with a separate template for lining up each layer. The MISTI is the perfect tool for these stamps.
Lara J said…
Beautiful cards! The Many Mandala stamp set is gorgeous and your card showcases it really well!
CathyL said…
That background stamp looks amazing!
Amrita said…
Beautiful cards! I like that you shared that it's okay to make a mistake but still keep going. Hope you have a wonderful birthday!

Rosemary said…
fantastic set of cards!! great videos!!
Terri Armstrong said…
beautiful cards!! thanks for sharing!
Amanda H said…
I liked the use of gray rather than black for so many of your cards! That's for the tip on trimming circle sentiments!
Jayell said…
These cards and backgrounds are beautiful. I love the colour schemes you choose and it shows that the triangle turnaround looks good whether you stamp it once or many times. Your birthday card is so elegant and pretty.
Unknown said…
These sample cards are divine!! Very inspiring. I think I'd be the same.. I'd have so many backgrounds I'd have cards forever! And happy birthday for the 10th!
Sandy said…
Amazing cards and I love all the colors you used. Didn't think I'd like the one stamping of the Triangle Turnabout stamp, but after adding it to your base (off-set), adhering your sentiment and embellishments, I loved it.
SueT said…
Both of the cards are lovely. You are using color combos that I might not have chosen without seeing how nice they go together. Thank you for your hints and tips. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's release!
yvonnew said…
Wow, the cards are really amazing.

I love your cards. They are all amazing! I love the floating mandalas and even your colors are fantastic:-)
Nancy R. said…
Such pretty cards, Ilina. The teal and gray mandala card is beautiful, and the Turnaround Triangle stamp is so fun! And of course the MISTI makes both of them a cinch to do perfectly. Happy Birthday on Monday!
Michele said…
I love all the card ideas using one stamp! Great color choices on all of your cards

You've showcased the inventiveness and ingenuity behind these new images wonderfully; indeed, the Turnabout collection you designed would make a marvelous gift set! Thank you for two engaging, informative videos! Great to know that we can vary the number of turn with the triangle set, yet still achieve lovely results. As for the Mandala..how brilliant is the guide! My crystal ball predicts these will be rock stars in the crafting community!

These are beautiful cards. Thanks for showing how to pull the little points into the right spots to get the mandalas lined up just right. Your color combos are lovely - and I love the little touch of nuvo drops to take it to the next level! Beautiful!
jean said…
I love how yo changed colors for the bottom half!!! I have been stamping for more than 30 years, and I have some mendala stamps, we would cut them out and layer in so many colors and different places, it was so much fun!!!
El said…
That is beautiful. I am loving that triangular stamp. Thanks for participating in this blog and inspiring us.

Holly said…
I LOVE these stamps,they would be so fun to create with! Your cards are pretty.
Unknown said…
Love your cards! I especially liked the way you positioned the layers and sentiments in an unexpected way, all the way to the top or to one side, and the way you cut part of the circle to be flush with the layer under it. Little things with big impact! My favorite was the Many Mandalas card....beautiful!
Denise F. said…
Thank you for sharing how you fixed your little mistake and also for stamping a couple cards with only 1 or 2 colors. I like the simplicity of the single color. Very pretty!
Nina said…
Loving these ideas! The mandala happy birthday card is fabulous!
Unknown said…
I love that all your triangle stamp cards are so different but they are similar enough to be given/sold as a set.

The soft colours on the mandala card are gorgeous, Ilina ... love how you demonstrated how easy it is to stamp it multiple times to get a background look! The Triangle Turnaround cards are so cool ... thanks for showing how it appears depending on how many times the card stock is turned and stamped! Love the idea of doing lots of cards while the stamp is set up on the MISTI! Oh, and Happy Birthday for Monday! Anita :)

Male birthday cards are always hard to come up with. I can see using the Triangle Turnabout to accomplish this! I liked how you used two colors at times for something different.
Adore the colors you used with the Mandalas set! And using several to make a great background. Thank you for two great videos and sharing the love of the Misti!
