MISTI and PinkFresh Studio: Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Hi everyone! 

Happy Friday! Today I have few cards to share with you using PinkFresh Studio stamps and the brand new version of the MISTI. This post is part of a co-hop between the MISTI design team and the PinkFresh Studio team and also we have giveaways (details for both at the end)

I will be uploading a video on how I made all these cards by end of today, so come back later for it ;)

The new PinkFresh Studio Pop Out stamps and the MISTI are match made in heaven, so I am using few of those today to make super fun and colorful backgrounds (in the video you will see how easy is to create them)

But before I go into the backgrounds I have a card using the Celebrate Us set and dies. I was stamping one image for the card right after this, so decided to stamp it twice and have an extra card. 

Next is a card using pop up chevron stamp, and actually I made 2 cards using this set. The first one is in shades of green and the second one is rainbow. For the first again I used the Celebrate Us set and dies. For the second I used Believe in Yourself and Modern Floral set 

Next we have pop up diamonds background (and I love how this one turned out) and I am using again Believe in Yourself stamps and dies and Modern Floral stamp set. 

Last but not the least is a rainbow using the pop up rainbow set.

Catherine Pooler Designs: Oh, Baby

Hi everyone,

 Today I am sharing super cute baby card using the new Catherine Pooler designs set Born to be Wild and the coordinating dies, along with the new A to Z Background stamp.

To make the card start by stamping the background using your MISTI to create the ombre look. Use soft towel or ink blending brushes to soften the edges of each section when you ink the stamp to have smoother transition between the colors.

Die cut the Zebra and keep the negative. Position the negative in your MISTI and the first layer stamp (striped). Stamp in black. Do the same thing for the second layer (feet and face) and stamp in pink. 

Die cut a circle from vellum and assemble your card.

Periwinkle cardstock piece for the tray/shadow box is 7 1/2" x 8 4/3" and you will need to score at 1" and 2" at all four sides. 

Nautical cardstock pieces (you need 2): 5" x 4 3/4" . Score the 4 3/4" side at 1" and 4 1/2" so you have two "flaps" measuring 1" and 1/4". Do the same on both piece
