Tutorial for Don't Forget to Write

Hi Everyone,

Here is a very quick tutorial for lining up the stamps in the Don't Forget to Write kit. I hope it helps some people who are having trouble with lining things up. I know it can be very frustrating to be unable to get one perfect flower cluster. This method may make things much easier, not only for this particular set, but for other sets as well.

Place a negative die space in your MISTI. It's important to use a straight piece of paper so you can line up your corners again if the paper moves.

 
Place a "professional die cut" in the die space. Then take your first stamp and line it up with the die cut as shown.
 
 
 
 
Close the door and pick up the stamp, then place your blank die cut into the space. Now stamp the leaves using any color green.
 
 
 
Once again, place the professional die cut into the die space. Place the flowers onto the die cut in the proper place, ensuring that you line them up perfectly.
 
Now close the door, pick up the stamp, and replace the professional die cut and then stamp with your favorite flower color.
 
Now place the professional die cut into the space and line up the middle of the flowers. Once again, close the door, replace the professional die cut with your own die cut, and stamp.
 
Your own die cut should look like this:
 
Continue replacing your own die cut with the professional one, and continue lining your stamps up, then switch to your own and stamp.
 
When you are finished, you should have a perfectly stamped bouquet. I usually stamp the two little buds at the end with just an acrylic block since they are not too hard to line up.
 
Please let me know in the comments or on the PTI Forum if you tried this method and your experience with it. It seems time consuming, but ultimately, you can do many die cuts at a time with great success.

Another MFT Superstar Entry

Hi Everyone,

So this card is really spectacular in person. Of course, the photo doesn't do it justice. Anyway, I'm submitting this card to the MFT Superstar contest. Whether it wins or not, I have enjoyed making it.

MFT Superstar Contest

Hi Everyone,

I have two cards ready for the MFT Stamps Superstar Contest. The first one is a girl raking leaves, which is a happy scene.

Enjoy!

Girl Jumping in Leaves

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card that I cased from Stephanie at MFT Stamps. Love the idea of a girl jumping in the leaves--it just screams "fall".


Enjoy!

Pumpkin Girl

Hi Everyone,

Here is a card using the Pure Innocence Pumpkin stamp and some pumpkins in a wagon from Lawn Fawn. Fun and relatively simple card to make, especially if you like to color. Everything was colored with copics. The background was created using distress inks.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop May 2015

Hi Everyone,

I spent the first week I got this kit making cards just with this kit. It's that addicting. So here it is in Pretty in Pink and Pink Pirouette. There are so many ways you can use this kit--I already packaged some cards, put a bow around it, and mailed it to a friend who just had a new baby.


Enjoy!
