Hampton Art Card - For You

Good morning, card makers!

Today I have a "masculine" card. (Okay, okay, it doesn't scream, "I'm for a guy!" but it can certainly be given to a man as it's not overtly feminine.) I like the Saffron Yellow Pepper Soup products from Jillibean Soup because they easily lend themselves to cardmaking for the gentleman recipient.

The MISTI is a fantastic stamping tool that makes it possible to have absolute SPOT-ON multiple impressions with NO mistakes. At $50 it's a little pricey, but I can't imagine stamping with anything else at this point. Seriously, this is THE tool to invest in if you're a stamper. You'll wonder what you did before this thing came into your life. No more smudged or partial images!!! (Yes, I AM in love.)

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

Me too..I love Misti. Don't know how I lived without it. I lead a card ministry at my church. All 10 of us now have Misti. My grandchildren can stamp away now with Misti. Maybe we should start a fan club. Blessing, love your blog.
