Picket Fence Studios + My Sweet Petunia Collab Blog Hop

So exciting! Two great companies coming together for one great blog hop. My Sweet Petunia and Picket Fence Studios are two of my favorites. There are prizes up for grabs, so follow me along with the Blog Hop.

You all know I love my PFS stamps and dies, and I must say I use my MISTI EVERY TIME I stamp. I have had the Original MISTI forever and just recently added the MINI MISTI to my supplies. I love both sizes and use them both equally.

I used both sizes on my strawberry card today. I went strawberry picking this week and I was inspired by the beautiful red fruit and rows of gorgeous green plants. When I sat down to create, right away I was drawn to this image by PFS. I love the giant size of the Ponchatoula Strawberries and I knew I wanted to add sone embossing to the image. I used the Original MISTI to stamp the image in Intense Black ink, so I could color the strawberries up. I made sure to not remove the stamp from the Misti, so I could stamp it a second time, after coloring, with Versamark ink. I then could add the Rose Gold Embossing powder. That's the beauty of the Misti, it allows you to stamp and re-stamp images as long as you position the paper in the corner and keep the stamp in the same place on the lid. So easy and perfection every time.

Because I didn't move the stamp and placed the colored paper panel back into the corner, I was able to add the versamark ink over the colored image so I could add the Rose Gold Embossing Powder. After I heated the embossing powder, I used the matching Ponchatoula Strawberries Die to cut it out. I then placed it at the bottom of Mist card stock that I had added the strawberry image in Baby Blue ink along the top

I pulled out the Mini MISTI to stamp up my sentiment. This size is perfect to keep on my desk and stamp all the little images I work with mostly. Today I decided on a sentiment from Small Ways to Say Thank You.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and added the same Rose Gold embossing powder to the words. I finishe dit off with a tiny scallop from the Edge Essentials Confetti Cuts. Here's a closer look at the details.

Here is the list for our Blog Hop. Be sure to leave comments along the way. Picket Fence Studios and My Sweet Petunia are both offering $50 gift certificates.

Picket Fence Studios/ Gina K/ My Sweet Petunia Collaborative Blog Hop/ GIVEAWAY

Hello stamping friends! it's the Trifecta of Friends Blog Hop. It I am so excited to be posting today and sharing two cards with some fabulous Gina K Designs products. I have been a long time fan of all things Gina K, but admit I have not created much with them. It's so hard to squeeze in crafty time with other companies outside of the ones I design for. So, I was over the moon when this collaborative blog hop was announced. Picket Fence Studios has team up with Gina K and My Sweet Petunia for a fun and inspirational blog hop. I hope you'll join me.

There is a super generous giveaway. You'll want to leave comments along the hop for a chance to win.

All three companies will be giving away a $50 Gift Card to their shops!!
So there will be 3 winners!

Winners will be announced by June 7!

I have two cards to share today. On both cards, and all my cards really, I use the Mini Misti to stamp my images. The MISTI changed my stamping life. I hope you enjoy them. I used the leaf images from Elegant Asters stamp set stamped in Intense Black ink. I love the crisp black on white leaves and sentiment from the same set.

I stamped the butterfly from Elegant Asters and colored it up with rainbow colors with my copic markers. I used the coordinating Elegant Asters dies to cut it out and then popped it up along the bottom of my card for a great pop of color. I mounted the finished panel onto a top folding A2 Sea Glass card base. I am gifting this to my niece for a graduation card. I think the sentiment is perfect.

My next card uses the floral images from Elegant Asters and I I masked off the flowers to tuck in the leaf images. I used my Zig Clean Color Brush markers to water color up the images.

I added in some colored splatters to the background and then used the Hello word die to cut out three layers of midnight card stock and adhere them together for some good dimension on my card. I mounted the finished panel onto a Sweet Mango panel and then added it to a Premium Polar White card base This color combo and pretty soft water coloring just makes me smile.

Here is the list of those hopping with us today. Be sure to stop by and leave comments for a chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates, one for each company represented today.

thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a terrific day.

It's true, I NEVER stamp without my Misti anymore. My absolute favorite thing about the Misti is that I can get exact placement of a stamped image and stamp again if I didn't quite get full ink coverage. I double stamp all my black sentiments to ensure a crisp, dark image.

Today I created a duo of sweet little seed packets to give as a little gifty this Spring. I started with the Bitty Window Bag and stamped one of the images from Tall Blooms in Coral and Peach ink on the back side.

Before Is started stamping, I went ahead and marked the edges of the Bitty Window Bag on the grid paper in my Misti. With all the lines and squares, it is so easy to line things up. This makes for speedy stamping when doing multiples. I simply count the number of squares I move over the bag and then I'll get the same image placement (because I don't move the stamp) with each bag I stamp.

On the front side of the bag, I used the grid lines to line up the letters from the Alphabetical to spell out the word "seeds" in Stormy Ink. I then got busy with the tag. I love the new Dashed Line Tag Confetti Cut. I cut it from Premium Polar White card stock. I stamped the sentiment from Love Blooms in Stormy and added a few Tall Blooms in the same, Coral and Peach inks I used on the bag.

This was a perfect example of how I had to stamp the blooms twice. The dashed lines on the tag, made it a little difficult to get a completely inked image.

So I lifted the lid, inked the bloom again and put it down right in the same spot, to get a complete image. It makes me so happy. Here is the completed project again.

I bought a couple of mixed flower seed packets and emptied them into some clear cello bags I had. I trimmed off the tops, to make them fit the size of the Bitty Window Bags, and then folded them over and stapled them close.

I tucked them inside the completed bags and tied on some twine. The tag kind of gives a little peak-a-boo effect and you can slide it to the side to see inside the window.

The final touch I added was a white heat embossed Tall Bloom on Stormy card stock. I cut it out with the Tall Blooms Confetti Cuts and then then added it to the top of my tags.
