Unity & Misti Blog Hop



Hello My lovelies :)

Welcome to the Unity and Misti blog hop!

I  hope you are enjoying seeing all of the projects so far.

I just had my first wee play with the Misti tool the other day.

It is a very new to me tool and wow do I LOVE it!!

It is awesome!

Just for the simplest of things like positioning a stamp. 

One time is all you need with the Misti!!

I am not one of those crafters that gets my stamped images crisp first time.

I usually have wasted a card or two before I end up with a perfect image.

This tool totally eliminates all of that. 


Here is my very first card that I made with the Misti tool and Unity stamps. 

I used a stamp called Scattered Pieces.



I LOVE this stamp and the sentiments that come with it. 

I positioned the feather and the sentiment at the same time on the Misti. 

I totally love that you can do that too! 

It lets you stamp several at once instead of just eye balling it and hoping it works out!

 I used Broken China and Cracked Pistachio oxide inks on the feather and archival on the sentiment.

I just blended both Oxide colours together right on the stamp.

I ended up stamping it three times to give it lots of colour.




I then changed the position of the feather and just added a wee top and bottom border with the edges of the stamp. 

Then I took my distress inks and coloured in the feather for a more solid look.




Next I  put my card on to some Recollections card stock in the same colour scheme.

It was looking a little plain so I added some glitter paste hearts.

I also added some to the feather. 



Finally I tied some silver twine  around the card to finish. 


I really love how it turned out. 

The Misti made my stamping so much easier. 

If you don't have one put it on your wish list!! 

Better still keep commenting on all of our blogs to be in with a chance of winning one.

There are 3 fab prize packs up for grabs.

Winners will be posted on both the Unity and the My Sweet Petunia blogs on May 31st.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. 

You next stop should be the lovely Anna Wight

Enjoy the rest of the hop!

Craft Stamper November Challenge

Hey Friends Welcome to a new  Craft Stamper  challenge for November. Can you believe we are almost at the end of the year already!!  Where did time go?? It has been pretty cold and frosty up here in Scotland for the last few nights.   But I am hanging on to Autumn as long as I can. I took a wee walk around the park and collected some lovely Autumn leaves.  I wanted to incorporate them into my project today.  I put the leaves in some paper and put them inside a heavy book overnight to press them down.  I started off with a white card base and used this sentiment stamp from Unity and repeat stamped all down the side of my card using Potting Soil Archival Ink. Then I went around the edges with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink.  Next I took my leaves and my paper punches and punched a heart shape out from the yellow leaf and then stuck it to my card with fabric glue.  Then I punched some hearts from the red leaves and put one inside t

Weeds N Wishes GIU Day 1

Hello Friends Welcome to my first day of my first ever GIU week yay!! I am super excited to be showing you my creations this week with the wonderful Unity stamps :)  I only found out last week I would be the GIU girl this week. I had to switch out my Dec date as I will be in Scotland another yay :) I have two cards for you today with this new stamp set from Unity. I absolutely LOVE dandelions. So when I saw this set I just had to have it. It is called Wish With Your Heart and it is on sale right now for $12 a bargain. I think today is the last day of the sale so if you like it go and grab it quick!! So for my first card I wanted to do another black and white card. I also wanted to use my black distress ink which I bought months ago and have never used. It is called Black Soot and funnily enough it gets everywhere just like the real black soot. I love getting messy with my distress inks and kind of expect a bit of a mess. But the black mixed with water gets EVE
