MISTI meets Impression Obsession


Hi Stampers!
Happy Friday and welcome to the Impression Obsession Blog Hop and My Sweet Petunia. And I have not one but 2 cards for you today. And 2 videos!!!! I know, can you believe it?!?
Before I move onto my cards I wanted to mention few things about this blog hop (The list of designers participating are at the bottom of this post). 
Leave a comment on each blog for chance to win a mini MISTI or $25 Gift Certificate for IO. Visit each blog and leave each designer some love in form of a comment and a winner will be drawn on the 12th , actually 2 winners. The winners will be announced on the My Sweet Petunia blog and FB page, as well as on the IO blog and Facebook page!

As I mentioned above I have 2 cards. For my 1st card I am using the Wreaths and Garlands set and using my Original Misti and hexagon template I stamped a wreath! I layered bunch of fall colors for it and I honestly love how it turned out! Watch the video to see how I made the card, as well in the youtube description there is link to Splitcoast Stampers where you can download those templates ( and the list of supplies is on the bottom!!!) 
edited to add: You can download the hexagon template from Cyndie HERE





For my second card I used the Peony set 1, and this set is AH-MAZING, the flower has 5 layers so stamping it with the MISTI made it craziness free. I was able to position each layer perfectly and on top of that I did mass stamp the images. Scroll down for the video, as well the list of designers participating in this hop, and go check out their blogs (you won't be disappointed) and leave them some love while you are there!

Great video showing how to create a beautiful wreath with the wonderful Misti!
Isabelle said…
Your cards are awesome and very elegant. I'm also a big fan of the MISTI for the multi layering stamps, it makes life so much easier.....
That peony looks so real and I love what you did with the wreath card. Thank you for doing both videos and cards with the MISTI. I do not own a MISTI yet but the more I see such amazing cards made with it, I know I have to get one.

That wreath is stunning - thank you for sharing the inspiration!

Hi, Ilina! Thank you for the two video tutorials. (I am your newest YouTube follower). Lovely cards using the "step stamping" techniques. I admire how you used the Misti in both. Fantastic idea with the tiny images. I had never thought of making a template like a hexagon. I appreciate that tip! While the regular size Misti is already in my tools, and dearly loved, I can now see that the mini Misti would be a fun addition as well! Thanks for the tips!

Never thought to use the Wreaths & Garlands in such a pretty circular pattern.

The Peony is delicate with dramatically subtle coloring. This stamp set is a must-have in any stash, and it appears to be extremely easy to make because of the MISTI. You have inspired me greatly. Thank you.
