Thank you so much for your video on inks and ink pads. You are so informative and honest in your videos. I love it. I learn so much from you - I'm a beginner at age 79 and love this hobby. Thank you again.
Don't know how anyone can stamp without the Misti, the most precious item in my craft room. Buy Misti as small business invention. Wonderful inspiration and howling laughter. Love your tutorials. Blessings for health and safety for you and your family.
Hello I just saw a couple of your video and love how quick and easy you make a dozen or so cards! I love your no nonsense approach to crafting ad I am the same way! I don't like when demonstrators blah on and on about this and that, just get down to the project. That's you! Glad I found your channel ❤
I so enjoyed the many techniques you showed here. I have a stamp positioner, and I use it nearly ALL the time when stamping. It has made stamping possible for me. Otherwise, I just could not line up things.
I’ve not heard of Misty until today while listening and discovering your You tube videos. Love the inspiration you have given me. I have a gel pad and that was clever using stencils. Thank you!
Wow, Laurel, that ink buffing and shading technique with the Catherine Pooler ink, mandala stamp and dies really knocked my socks off! Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Wow! Another awesome video! I really like the card where you wiped some of the ink off the stamp, and buffed out the hard lines. The card was amazing when you finished it! I gotta try that idea TODAY!! The sponge tape on different levels was cool! It gave the card a total new look. LOVE it! Thanks so much Laurel! xx
I love these ideas you have a shared with us. I have a mandala stamp and die set but didn’t know what to do so now I will try these with mine. Thankyou 🙂🌈
Wow Laurel! So many wonderful cards. Thank you for sharing all of these tips and techniques. I found myself smiling throughout the entire video. Love your personality!
I so enjoy watching you make cards. And listening to your narrative! I’m always waiting for your next video. Thank you for making my day a little better.
I enjoy your videos so much! I still use my handmade original MISTI too! I’ve added every size over the years and love them all! Great techniques and cards💕
For the record, I love your “babbling”. :). Love how to you used multi colors on the large stamp and the blender brush technique on the CP stamp. Looks like I need to get me a “Magic Mug” and some new CP stamps. :) Cool, cool, cool! (Waiting on my shipment for that glue). Hugs on your Sunday!
Thank you for sharing! You were on a roll girl! Appreciate the skill share class link, sounds like a great deal! My favorite was the Large Mandela stamp too, I’ve had it in my basket for a while now Hahaha 😂 Signed up @ $4.95 a month for 1st year! 👍🏼
Fun video. I like the MISTI but it was not in my budget so I have another brand I really like. A bit different but works well. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Enjoyed your creative process.
@@debbiecomerford-lalonde2699 Mine is a "Precision Stamp Press" made by Couture Creations. I got a really good deal on it at the time of purchase, not sure what they go for now or how available they are.
Love the mandala card with the blue & the way you offset the middle. I thought the card was very striking with the little pieces hanging off the edge (before you trimmed them off). Guess they would have to be cut to fit in an envelope unless you used an oversized one.
Hi Laurel! So happy to come across your channel and just subbed. Can you tell me where I could get that full page stamp you used at the 4:30 mark?? I have got to have it ! Thanks so much.
Laurel - Love your energy and your thoroughness without dragging through the project! I don't yet have a stamp positioner, but the Misti is very expensive. I was wondering if you have had any negative comments on less expensive brands. Great video, and I look forward to more :)
Faith Willey - for what it’s worth, I just got the Press to Impress by Crafts Too and it seems really sturdy. The previous one I had (it went in the bin so I can’t check but I think it was the Hampton) broke at the hinges which were hard, brittle plastic, not long after I got it, so whatever you go for, check out the strength of the hinges. I’m in the UK so my options may be different
I'm not sure of another I can personally recommend as I have only ever used the MISTI. Hopefully, other readers will see this comment and chime in on what they like.
I have an original MISTI that is sitting in a drawer collecting dust. I use my stamp perfect all the time . Waiting in the wings is a Tim Holtz stamping platform that I am saving as a back up. Together they cost less than my MISTI. I also have a Crafters Companion stamp platform that works great...also much cheaper . There's also one made by Bira Crafts...half the price. I can tell you there is no difference between the cheaper products and the Misti.
Started watching your videos recently. Was wondering what is the name of the glue? I am always in the lookout for a good liquid glue. I tend to be heavy handed and appreciate glue that dies invisibly. Thanks for your humor and the tutorials!
Hi, I am new to your channel and I must say I love it, your ideas are amazing. I looked for the link for the glue and "bear" refill that you were referring to and I can't find it, Could you please let me know the name and where to purchase? Thank you in advance.
Is it just me or is it hard when you first start stamping to get the ink consistent and to not look blurry or like there isn't enough ink on your stamp. Especially in just sentiments! Yours always look beautiful and perfect!
I didn't see the type of glue that you love in the list of stuff that you used. Also, do you find that the cards warp when using liquid glue VS tapes or when you use water colour?
Good eye! I adore it. It's nice and large. I haven't ever flipped it over to use the other side. I like to work against black. It cleans easily. It does slide around a bit on my glass surface so I just placed a baking sheet underneath to control that!
Hey Laurel! I'm finally playing catch up with some of my favorite youtube crafters. Just wanted to say I love this video and your ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have a misti that’s a few years old. Lately, the paper lifts up when I pull back on the door with my stamp! Any ideas why this is happening? Thank you.
Its likely your stamp and not the misti itself. Try cleaning the stamp with some water and mild soap. That happens to me too! Sometimes, even the magnets aren't strong enough!
Water, lol.... There are recommended plastic cleaners she sells, which I have. But I seem to be too lazy to get it and just wipe it clean with water and a microfiber cloth.
Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of stamp positioners on the market, at least not in the US, thanks to the woman who owns the Misti company. When other companies started making their own platforms, she sued them all because apparently she invented the hinge. Yes, that’s sarcasm. It’s unbelievable that she won her suits based on this ridiculous claim. Still, business is business and what’s legal doesn’t always correspond to common sense. What really angers me is how she went after UA-camrs who either made their own version or suggested tips to improve its function. None of them were trying to sell anything, they were only sharing their ideas. It could be argued that they were providing free advertising for her. Some companies have made attempts at platforms that don’t include hinges, with varying success. Since I refuse to support such greed and anti-American behavior (goodbye healthy competition and innovation), not to mention my refusal to pay $80 for any platform, I had planned to make my own, but I recently came across a miracle. *You can buy a new, full sized Tim Holtz platform from Amazon! It’s shipped from the UK. Yes, you have to pay for international shipping but even taking this into consideration, I payed only $5 more than what it sold for here in the US!* It was $26 and some change, plus $18 and change for shipping. I just received it yesterday and it is brand new, in original pristine packaging, and I received it in less than a week! It is better designed, better constructed, and made of better quality materials than the Misti, too! I love it so much!!!
I'm with you, Iris! I got the mini misti (ONLY $40--how ridiculous, but I was new at this) before all the suits. The legal hassles really made me angry. Plus, who needs preaching with their stamping tool? So I got the Tim Holtz and really love it because--no sides, costs less, much stronger lid!
I love that you talk fast. Sometimes I get impatient with videos that go too slow. Thanks.
OMG me too!!! I told my mom that I loved that you talked fast so my ADHD brain would stay engaged. Lol
Excellent
Thank you so much for your video on inks and ink pads. You are so informative and honest in your videos. I love it. I learn so much from you - I'm a beginner at age 79 and love this hobby. Thank you again.
Muy creativos.Gracias!!!!Eres muy divertida y tus carcajadas me di vierten mucho

Such a beautiful bunch of cards! You are so funny! Love the noodle story! 😂😂

I don't like when demonstrators blah on and on about this and that, just get down to the project. That's you! Glad I found your channel ❤
I started my own magic mug after watching you. TFS your talent!
Being a newbie to all this coolness, I love all your ideas! Thank you
I totally agree with you about the Misti. I couldn’t stamp at all before I bought one. I liked the mandala and third gen watercolor rose the most.
First time seeing this. Thank you for doing a shaker card. Been wanting to make shaker cards but didn't know how.
I so enjoyed the many techniques you showed here. I have a stamp positioner, and I use it nearly ALL the time when stamping. It has made stamping possible for me. Otherwise, I just could not line up things.
Amazing colors and designs. I have been avoiding gel plates but now I am very tempted.
You’re just so much fun too watch and listen to!!! Never a boring moment!! Love all of your ideas because I need them! Thank You 💜💜

Holy cow, that hello card using one-color shading is the bomb!
Another fabulous video thanks Laurel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌼
Glad you enjoyed it!
I so enjoy watching you make cards. And listening to your narrative! I’m always waiting for your next video. Thank you for making my day a little better.
Thank you so much! This made my day, truly!
I enjoy your videos so much! I still use my handmade original MISTI too! I’ve added every size over the years and love them all! Great techniques and cards💕
That is awesome!
Love the watercolor techniques with the stamp positioner- even just lightly spraying your dye ink gives a different look. As always, thank you!
You are so welcome!
Love your videos! And your magic mug!
What a great tip of ‘buffing and shading” inked images.
For the record, I love your “babbling”. :). Love how to you used multi colors on the large stamp and the blender brush technique on the CP stamp. Looks like I need to get me a “Magic Mug” and some new CP stamps. :) Cool, cool, cool! (Waiting on my shipment for that glue). Hugs on your Sunday!

Dear Laurel
Thank u.pls can u do a video on what colors a newbie shud hv and what brand.blessings
ink colors you mean?
Very interesting. TFS from New Mexico
Fun video. I like the MISTI but it was not in my budget so I have another brand I really like. A bit different but works well. Thanks for sharing your ideas. Enjoyed your creative process.
Wonderful. You can use these ideas with whatever stamping device you have!
What brand is the one you use? I can’t afford a misti
@@debbiecomerford-lalonde2699 Mine is a "Precision Stamp Press" made by Couture Creations. I got a really good deal on it at the time of purchase, not sure what they go for now or how available they are.
A great video as usual. Thanks, Laurel!
You are so welcome!
Thank you! Just what is your new fav glue? I couldn’t find it and didn’t hear or see the name. Thank you again!
Bearly Art. It is linked in the supply list for you!
That was my first tool that I purchased and still using it 5 years later!
Love the mandala card with the blue & the way you offset the middle. I thought the card was very striking with the little pieces hanging off the edge (before you trimmed them off). Guess they would have to be cut to fit in an envelope unless you used an oversized one.

I like the misti and have one but i just wish it did not have the raised lip all around it. Tfs!!!!
Removable tape, why didn’t I think of that! You are so my favourite go to card maker thank you
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much.
Beautiful cards. I’m having a hard time with the spray & let run of colors, but your designs are amazing.

@@jaydee5022 Thank you. I appreciate the advice! I will certainly watch for sturdiness and even look at the Press to Impress.

Hi there. It's linked in the supply list for you which is in the description! It's bearly art.
I also wanted the name of the glue because I can't get to your link. Loads of people cannot connect on UA-cam links. You say Bearly Art?
You da' BEST!!!
Thanks Laurel =)
You're so welcome!
I love my misti and love your ideas thank you
Wow, never thought of using a blender brush on a stamp. Brilliant! Love that layered card! 💙
Great video and keep safe and well
Thanks, you too!
Hi, I am new to your channel and I must say I love it, your ideas are amazing. I looked for the link for the glue and "bear" refill that you were referring to and I can't find it, Could you please let me know the name and where to purchase? Thank you in advance.
It's Bearly Arts Glue: catherine-pooler-llc.myshopify.com/products/precision-craft-glue-bundle-by-bearly-arts?aff=4
Do you still like or use your scan and cut machine in card making. Or do you prefer the coordinating dies.
Hi, love your video , what is a "magic mug" please,, cheers
I have a magic mug video! Just search magic mug on my video page! :)
What is the sentiment stamp you used? Wonderful sayings! Thanks!!!!
It's from The Ton Stamps and I linked to it in the visual supply list in the description :)
Love the mandala card! Who makes the stamp and coordinating dies?
It's linked in the visual supply list in the description. It's awesome. ldli.co/e/l5d0gg
I need this! Had a stroke and now have a possessed left arm, jerks when I am ready to stamp!😂🙄
Does the bar magnet work through that mouse pad ?
Is it just me or is it hard when you first start stamping to get the ink consistent and to not look blurry or like there isn't enough ink on your stamp. Especially in just sentiments! Yours always look beautiful and perfect!
What ink pads are you using. Could you be pressing your stamp into the ink pad too hard?
I didn't see the type of glue that you love in the list of stuff that you used. Also, do you find that the cards warp when using liquid glue VS tapes or when you use water colour?
It's in the supply link. it's called Bearly Art! I only notice warping when I am adding water or heat!
Hi Laurel. I noticed the Altenew Essential Cutting and Aligning mat...what's your opinion on it compared to other similar products ?
Good eye! I adore it. It's nice and large. I haven't ever flipped it over to use the other side. I like to work against black. It cleans easily. It does slide around a bit on my glass surface so I just placed a baking sheet underneath to control that!
Watching from the UK.Hope you and yours are all ok
Hey Laurel! I'm finally playing catch up with some of my favorite youtube crafters. Just wanted to say I love this video and your ideas. Thanks for the inspiration!
Can you please supply a link for the Nuvo glitter pen you used. I can't find it. Thanks.
Ohhh, thanks. I missed that. It is added to the supply list (the last item listed)....
Where to buy stamp positioned? I have looked on line, but could not find one like the one you work with.
Thank you
I have it linked in the visual supply list in the descriptions. I link to a few different sources.
What brand is your glue
I have a misti that’s a few years old. Lately, the paper lifts up when I pull back on the door with my stamp! Any ideas why this is happening? Thank you.
Its likely your stamp and not the misti itself. Try cleaning the stamp with some water and mild soap. That happens to me too! Sometimes, even the magnets aren't strong enough!
Yup I have 2 originals also.
“Skillshare has tons of how-to videos...How to tie your shoe laces”🤣🤣🤣
What do you clean Misti with?
Water, lol.... There are recommended plastic cleaners she sells, which I have. But I seem to be too lazy to get it and just wipe it clean with water and a microfiber cloth.
I’m not able to view the supply list. I’m using my iPhone. Do I need to be on my laptop or iPad? ** Disregard! It opened up for me!😊
Yay!
I bought a stamp positioned prior to my MISTI 2.0 and omg I could NEVER double stamp it was awful! Lol
What marker u use
Arteza, I provided a link in the visual supply list in the description
What is the glue named?
Bearly Art?
Correct, and I linked to two sources in the visual supply list in the description!
How BIG is your magic mug?
HAAHA, the bigger the better!
Unbelievable that the mandala is from one ink Color!
