I got back from my 6 weeks at the beach. The last few days were not very pretty sun-wise but I love the beach in any type of weather...I even love when it rains there! But, before I left I had the chance to see a sunset that was like none other. The mother of all sunsets....it was so incredibly gorgeous...
The sky was ablaze, as they say. By the way...the photo above was taken with my trusty iPhone. They do say the best camera is the one you have with you...and I am not complaining about the iPhone camera one bit!
Pretty picture.
On to crafty stuff. I finally got all of my stuff unpacked and put away so was in the mood to make a card (or two) this evening.
But wait...in the past few weeks I have learned about the MISTI which stands for (Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented). I was hesitant. I. Was. Skeptical. But. I. Bought.
I ordered straight from the manufacture which is www.MySweetPetunia.com. Within 4 days that baby was in in my hands. Great and very fast shipping. Simon Says Stamp also carries it but their price is much higher and then you have to pay shipping on top of that so why not go with the manufacture to begin with. Makes sense to me.
This is what the MISTI looks like:
It is mostly acrylic which is hinged...their are rulers and guides to help you with your positioning.
It is so easy to use...and makes the accurate positioning of stamps so easy and so fast! I love it!
Here are a few cards I very quickly duplicated tonight:
I loved my new friend, MISTI. I think she will become a really close friend, indeed.
The cards were made with Stampin' Up inks and papers. The white cardstock is the thick cardstock from Hobby Lobby which works pretty well for most stamping, I think. The sentiment is by Hero Arts. The flower stamp set are by SSS.
If you do a lot of stamping and like positioners then you would most likely find this an invaluable tool.
Happy Crafting!
A beautiful sunset indeed Susan. Great that you had a lovely holiday. Hugs, Ursula
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful sunset. Like the MISTI tool and am considering buying. Does look a wonderful tool for placement of stamps especially if duplicating.
