I use my original MISTI all the time and LOVE it! I’ve been hoping for a larger MISTI for scrapbooking and to accomodate more stamps for card layouts. The mini MISTI looks like a nice travel tool. Two more great ideas! (Click HERE to see my original post reviewing the MISTI.)

“The Craft & Hobby Association (CHA), the international trade association for the design, manufacture, distribution and retail sales of creative arts products, announced the category winners of its popular CHA Hot Product Awards. Manufacturers from all over the world submitted a record number of innovative retail products in this year’s competition. The judges of the CHA Hot Products–leading industry buyers, celebrities, bloggers and editors–selected the winners based on what makes the product unique; how the product will improve the crafter’s overall experience; and the interest and excitement the product generates for those outside of the crafting community. The CHA Hot Product Winners for 2016 are:
……. PAPER CRAFTS Mini MISTI and Mega MISTI by My Sweet Petunia, Inc., have a simple hinge design that provides consistent stamping for novice or experienced crafters and a platform for multiple stamp techniques that are impossible with traditional stamping mounts.

(Inside text: A crab in the sand trap at Christmastime is called “Sandy Claws” – Holiday Greetings and all good wishes for a Happy New Year!)
I created this golf scene from an image I found online at pixabay.com which I “traced” and cut with my Silhouette. The crab and the Santa hat are from the Stampin’ Up “Crab & Company” stamp set which I stamped on pieces I also “traced” and cut with my Silhouette. The riddle on the front and the sentiment on the inside were computer generated.
The crab and hat were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic marker R59.
The card stock I used was Gina K Sandy Beach, the red and green from the Recollections Jewel paper pack, Recollections black, white, and ivory, and a scrap of lighter green I had in my stash. The plaid background mat was from the Recollections “Christmas – Cozy Lodge” paper pack and was adhered to an ivory card base.
Thanks for checking out my card project!
Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays
Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays
(Inside text: May every joy be your this holiday season!)
The stamps for this card are from the Gina K Designs “Funky Christmas” set (retired?) and the Stampin’ Up “Ho Ho Holidays” set. The inside text was computer generated.
The “feet” image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and was colored with Copic Markers (R59 & C7, G29, and Y17). In order to create the darker sections on the chimney, I added the C7 to the R59. Adding gray is an easy way to create darker shades of colors you already own without needing to purchase additional markers. The greeting was stamped with Gina K Christmas Pine ink.
I used red and green card stock from the Recollections Jewel Card Stock paper pack and printed paper from the Recollections Christmas – City Sidewalks Card Stock paper pack. White card stock was used for the card base behind the red panel.
The snow-covered roof parts were cut files from the “Santa on Roof – design #52189” set by Michelle Renee which was purchased in the Silhouette store and cut with my Silhouette. I used Gina K Christmas Pine and Recollections White Gold Shimmer card stock to create the roof.
This card was one of three designs in a boxed set:

Does This Make My Butt Look Big?
Does This Make My Butt Look Big?
(Inside Text: Never mind, don’t answer that! Merry Christmas!)
The stamps on this card are all from the Beary Christmas stamp set by Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamps.
The images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers (R59 and G29).
The bear and greeting piece were cut out using cut files I created for my Silhouette and were adhered to my card with pop dots. I used my MISTI to line up the stamping on the die cuts. (HERE is a tutorial I previously posted to show how I stamp on die cuts.)
I used the Darice Snowflake Swirls embossing folder on white card stock along with Gina K Cranberry Tart card stock and a white card base.
This card was one of three designs in a boxed set:
