Missy, sorry to hear that you just went through some not-so-good times. Have always been taught "count those blessings no matter HOW small". Our mountain is deep in snow - when spring comes, and all those adorable TINY flowers come out. I will treasure them and think of ALL the small blessings that God has given even in the deepest of winter. Hang in there - all will be well 🥰
Hadn't thought about using a die to cut the plastic. I was just going to lay strips of acetate around the perimeter of the card. In fact, I may still do that because I make my cards all different sizes. I have lots of acetate transparencies bought at thrift stores. And I didn't realize it would be that easy to cut the Dollar Tree mat. Thanks for doing this video. 😊
Thank you so much. ❤️❤️ I also love ink blending on my Misti. 🥰 If you find that thin acetate is harder to lay on top the mat, then definitely use a thicker piece of acetate and that will make positioning it on top easier. I love making cards this way. 😍 Have a wonderful night. Hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Thank you so much Jean! I hope you find all the video tips on my channel helpful. Thank you so much for watching. Have a great night. Big hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
I love your tips and tricks so thank you so much. I was excited about your shammy holder. I live in Canada so went into Amazon Canada and was so shocked at the price . In Canada that exact same holder sells for $54.29 😲🫣. I've always maintained that crafting in Canada is double the cost ! Just a tidbit of info. I will be on the hunt for something similar so again, thanks for the tip
😱😱😱 That’s so crazy Kim. Wow! Definitely not anywhere near that price here. 😬 You should definitely be able to find a substitute for it. I would never have guessed it’d be that expensive there. 😢 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I bought a child’s treat dispenser at the dollar store. It is a lidded cup with an X skit in the top so the child can reach in without removing the lid. It is easy to grab/replace the shammy and keeps it wet for my crafting session but it dries out in a couple of days so I dry my shammy between work sessions.
Ditto in Australia! Soo frustrating when you know companies are paying trade rates and buy bulk to cut down shipping, yet they still double the price and sometimes add more! Must say if I lived as close to the US as Canada I'd be extremely peed off!! Love from down under xx
Great tips! I love the one with the acetate!! For a shammy, I’ve used The Absorber car shammy for years. Got them at Walmart and cut them down to the sizes I want. Love them! And the little salt cellar is great! Got mine on Amazon also years ago. Just love it. Keep the great hints and tips coming! Love how your brain works!! 🥰🌴
Thank you so much Terri! ❤️❤️You’re awesome! I’m so excited you enjoyed the video. 🙂 Thank you for watching and supporting me and my channel. I appreciate you! Hugs, Missy 😍😍❤️
I love the snarky cat stamps. ❤️❤️😍 They are so cute. 🥰 It’s so much easier to use a Misti this way and you can even ink blend on them too. 😍❤️❤️❤️ Hugs 🤗🤗🤗
Awesome Kelly! You’re going to love this setup. If you have thicker acetate to use on top, it’s definitely easier to lay on. It works like a dream! 😍😍😍 Have a wonderful evening. Hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
I wish I could have brought myself to cut up the momenta shammy but I really like the big size of it. Especially if I’m doing a lot of ink blending. If my local hobby lobby would have had them in stock, I would have bought one and cut it. But sadly they were sold out. I love the color of the Lawn Fawn shammy. It’s so pretty! 😍 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks, Missy! I live in a humid state and don’t craft very often, so I let my shammy dry. Not the ultimate solution but probably best for me. Forgot to say congrats about getting so many subscribers!🏆 Hi to the kitties!
Awww thank you so much! ❤️❤️ If you live in high humidity you are definitely doing what’s best for your shammy. The kitties send hugs and love your way! ❤️❤️❤️ Have a wonderful night! 🤗🤗🤗
Missy, awesome tips!! I use a different stamping platform but I will be able to do the same thing!! I did find mat at my dollar store and got a few!! Sorry, to hear you had a few rough days!!🥰I will keep you in my payers my friend🥰🥰🥰
Awww you’re the sweetest Michele! ❤️❤️ That dollar tree mat is amazing! I bought a few of them too. This works the best out of all the sticky mats I’ve tried so far. I appreciate you keeping me in your thoughts. 🥰You’re a wonderful friend. ❤️❤️🤗🤗 Hope you had a fantastic weekend! 🤗🤗
Hi Missy Thanks for all your tips! Have a missed the video on the self healing mat you use with your Gemini? I would like to try it as I find the magic mat too thick and becomes unusable very quickly! Thanks Jeanne AKA “deserte dweller”
You’ll see me use the Self Healing mat in place of the milky white shim in the Best tips ever series video #1 on my channel. It’s an adhesive Xyron hack video. It works amazing to replace that milky shim with it. I didn’t like the magic mat with the Gemini machine. Self healing mat works great! ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs, Missy 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for subscribing and supporting my channel, I hope you find all my videos helpful. 🥰It keeps the shammy from drying out quicker while you’re working on projects and is a nice tidy place to keep it so I can quickly get to it. Before I was putting it in a ziplock bag to keep it damp, which just looked horrible. The ziplock bag was a pain to open all the time to get to my shammy. Hope this helps. Nothing wrong with using a ziplock, I just prefer this because it looks tidy on my desk and quick to use. Big hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Hi Missy, thank you for sharing your tips. I prefer to not use products with chemicals in them. I will have to purchase a chamois and check out if the misty is available in Australia.
I've bought both the MISTI and the mini-MISTI from Australian online craft shops. I have bookmarked around half a dozen Australian online craft shops, if one shop doesn't have a product I want then I check another until I find the item I'm looking for. There are also other stamping platforms that are similar to the MISTI.
Cheryl, I definitely don’t like the chemicals. I hope you are able to find everything you are looking for and I’m so happy Jaliqai was able to help you! 😍😍 I love that so much! Have a wonderful night. Hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
I bought a small fruit strainer with lid from the dollar tree and it works great as a shammy holder
Thanks for sharing Jodi! 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️ I love that!❤️

Awww thank you! You’re the best! Acetate is so useful for so many things. 😍 I hope you find my channel helpful. Have a great day! Hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
Love the tip on the sticky mat using the leftover piece of acetate cut to card side, protecting the mat underneath. Awesome - Thank you!
I meant card SIZE
Thank you so much. ❤️❤️ I also love ink blending on my Misti. 🥰 If you find that thin acetate is harder to lay on top the mat, then definitely use a thicker piece of acetate and that will make positioning it on top easier. I love making cards this way. 😍 Have a wonderful night. Hugs, Missy 🤗🤗❤️❤️
I love the Misti hack! Genius!

Wonderful idea. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! ❤️I’m so excited you’re enjoying the videos Heidi. 😍😍 Thanks for watching and supporting me and my channel. 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️
Thanks for the tips! If a shammy is too big, just cut it to the size that works best for you.
I wish I could have brought myself to cut up the momenta shammy but I really like the big size of it. Especially if I’m doing a lot of ink blending. If my local hobby lobby would have had them in stock, I would have bought one and cut it. But sadly they were sold out. I love the color of the Lawn Fawn shammy. It’s so pretty! 😍 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for all of these tips.
Awww thank you Karen! ❤️❤️ I’m so happy you enjoyed all the tips. 😍 Hugs 🤗🤗🤗

Not sure, but what does the salt cellar do for the shammy? New subscriber here, and enjoying all the videos with various tips and tricks!

Where did you purchase the momenta shammy?
Hobby Lobby. ❤️❤️🤗😬
I let my ink shammy dry between my sessions of stamping
You definitely can let it dry between sessions. It’s amazing how quickly they dry out. ❤️❤️Have a wonderful night Laura. 🤗🤗
