Great video! I like the idea of laminating the grid paper, your peel-apart technique and the hint of using the blending tool! Love your ornament stamps! Since embossing ink stays sticky for a bit, I can see stamping several cards then embossing them! Thanks for sharing!
Simon, These are great helpful tips for the misti. I am new to stamping & cardmaking. I watch videos daily & have learned so much during our stay home time. Cardmaking is becoming fun instead of "oops that didnt come out right".
Simon I just discovered your products and videos today. Omg! My mind is blown how talented you are at such a young age. I plan to buy all of your products! Thx for the awesome videos too! Bobby
This was great! I "inherited" a much-want Misti from a disabled friend and didn't know how to use all the parts. Had no idea what the clear corners were! Thank you so much! I passed the link onto friends.
I just discovered you and I’m so glad that I did. I will be looking to get all that Misti loot for my craft room. If you’re reading my comment, Simon, I’m send YOU a virtual hug. Thanks for the videos - awesome job kiddo.
thanks for the hacks - some I knew, some were new to me - favorite way to use the misti is with my 5 year old granddaughter. She's been stamping for a year with it and is never disappointed with a stamped image since she knows when it isn't inked well enough the first time, she can always go back, reink and stamp again with not problem. Great way for young ones to stamp without being frustrated
Lol. “Past Simon”. Loved it. I’ve started to do the whole stamp set stamping and make a notebook with it. I mark the name of the set and the location that I’m storing it. I used colored dots on the actual stamp set with a number and put the same on the whole stamp image. It helps me know where to look and to know what I have.
Hi Simon, I have a Misti but don't use it because it was the 1st stamping position tool I bought and found I really liked Tim Holtz better! also Crafters companion and We R memory keepers all more affordable and not so greedy as Misti company! The tips you gave work well with the other stamp tools also ! For other viewers I would say buy one of the other stamping platforms and spend your money on some of Simon's beautiful stamps he just released or His 3 new ink colors they are beautiful!
I like how you simplify the techniques and your voice is clear and commanding. I’m a 55 y/o retiree who just became a grandfather. That catapulted me to start my scrapbooking again and I wanted to learn to make my own greeting cards that are personal and I can snail mail. We have been addicted to instant gratifying digital stuff and quite frankly I’m getting tired of it. It was quite refreshing to see your videos so you just gained a Subscriber.
Your inks look really cool with the one-pad and getting darker shading with repeat stamping. I've never had much success with that technique with other kinds of inks.
Well, I finally bit the bullet and got a Misti, based pretty much on this video. And just WOW! Your tip for gluing on the top card piece within the Misti was a total game changer! I make cards for a Women’s group at church to send out, and have probably made 100 cards since March for them. It would have been a much faster job had I already had a Misti! Thanks, Simon! You helped me step up my game!!
Thanks so much for this video Simon! I have several layering stamps but have never got the hang of using them because the inks I have are too far apart in tone, I never like the results. Your tip to just keep stamping with the same colour is brilliant,thank you!
I love my MISTI! I use it all the ways that you showed! I ave the very first original MISTI and was waiting for the MISTI 2 to come out I am so glad that I watched your first video where you debut the MIST 2. I immediately went and ordered it! I can't wait to get it!
Misti hack - Use it to help glue card fronts on straight. Card front must be same size as the full card. Put card into corner of Misti, put glue on the front of the card. Take your piece of paper that is the card front and lay it on top of the glued card front in the Misti, making sure to fit it snugly into the corner and the two sides that are touching the Misti. Your card front will be straight against all edges now. Love your videos and your cards.
This Dudette loves this video too, they just keep getting better. Did I see a sneak peek of some new inks? 😏 Can’t wait. I use my Misti every time I Stamp and my favorite tip came from Cathy Zilske to use it to line up my front panel to the card base. I never could get it on evenly, especially shakers, now I remove the foam pad, lay my card base in the corner and attach my front panel by butting it up against the 2 sides in the corner. Works every time. I love my Misti, thanks for the great tips!
Simon can you do a video on the difference on Liquid pearls vs perfect pearls. I have just receive some from my friend and i don;t know how to use them,
Liquid pearls are similar to enamel drops when dry... perfect pearls are a pearl powder that you can use with sticky ink. Here’s a video: th-cam.com/video/cv4gEsCyMAQ/w-d-xo.html
For years I have had trouble lining up my paper layers. While trying to add a smaller layer over a larger one the bottom one would move. I ‘ve used repositioning tape to hold one in place which was OK but I have since put the paper in my Misti, anchored the paper in place by placing the magnets along the outside and then I can line them up perfectly. How on earth did I manage without a Misti for so long. It is a “ must have “ item.
I think I might be more addicted to BUYING new card-making things, than I am to making new cards 🤣😂😂😁 p.s This is my fav person to watch on You Tube! Hands down!
Hi, Simon! I love your channel! I’m new to stamping and I was wondering if I should purchase the small or large Misti. I have also been looking at the stamping tool made by Tim Holtz, which is also a great stamping tool. Which one would you prefer?
I’ve ordered my first Misti once you announced pre-release. I will use the taping down of the mouse pad. Actually all your advice is something I will try. Thank you Simon
Hi Simon, Maybe this is in the video somewhere but I didn't see it - sometimes my cling stamps don't cling to the cover, they fall off. What is your solution? Thanks so much for your enthusiasm!
Wash the part of your cling stamp that is supposed to stick with a bit of water... that gets rid of all of the dust and gunk that it preventing it from sticking. Once it’s dry, try again! :)
I just purchased the MISTI stamping tool (not the mini) and separately ordered the MISTI Mouse Pad. Well, the Mouse Pad is way too big. Are we supposed to cut it down to size?
My clear stamps are sticking to the paper and it pulls up when I open the Misti, therefore the paper is moving. I am using 2 magnets, and it still moves. Any suggestions?
Sometimes that happens with new stamps. It’s common… just make sure to have the paper in the corner and if it pulls up you can put it back in the corner in the exact same spot. :)
Hey dudes and dudettes!
Leave a comment letting me know what your favorite MISTI trick. :)

Last tip about getting a straight sentiment is the best ever! Thanks!
Simon, finally someone has explained the Altenew layering stamps and how easy it is using the Misti. Thanks young man!
That was my favorite part, so helpful!
This was great! I "inherited" a much-want Misti from a disabled friend and didn't know how to use all the parts. Had no idea what the clear corners were! Thank you so much! I passed the link onto friends.
This is one of the best demonstrations I've seen of the Misti, thank you!
Yay! Glad you found it helpful :)
I agree! TY!

Love your style Simon. I love how you have practical explanations and details that I can understand!
Thanks so much Monica! I try to include as much detail while still keeping it easy. :)
That peel off stamp is really cool!
Have had my misti since it first came out. Could not live without it Love it!
Agreed! :)
Love the pull apart background stamp!
Wow! So cool what you can do with your peel apart background stamps! Can’t wait to get one!
Thanks so much Amy! :)
So glad to see you do a whole set - so many will have a scene and will stamp it in sections instead of laying it all down and doing one stamp
Yes! Stamping a whole set is a HUGE timesaver. :)
Wow I like the effect of the flower how the pink came out , just gorgeous

Me too... love Christmas crafting :)
I'm not a stamper, but after watching this I'm considering it. Thanks, Simon.
Woohoo! Join the club. :)
Very useful tips (Wendy from Wales, UK)
Thank you for that very useful

Love, love, love your ideas and tips. Thank you for sharing! I love my Misti, too.
First time watching and was very informational thank u
I think I might be more addicted to BUYING new card-making things, than I am to making new cards 🤣😂😂😁
p.s This is my fav person to watch on You Tube! Hands down!
Hi, Simon! I love your channel! I’m new to stamping and I was wondering if I should purchase the small or large Misti. I have also been looking at the stamping tool made by Tim Holtz, which is also a great stamping tool. Which one would you prefer?
My favorite is the large MISTI 2.0. There is so much more you can do with it than the mini. It’s a bit pricey, but totally worth the investment. :)
All wonderful tips!
Thank you Simon
Een hele fijne uitleg video christiena boers. Gunnink, ik spreek geen Engels, maar met kijken kun je heel ver komen
Thank you you are great
Thanks for the great tips
Which do you think is better for card making the misti or the cricut maker?
You finally got me. I subscribed. from Anna a senior from Balt. MD.😇😘.
You are one smart cookie ❤️❤️❤️👍👍😲
I do not have the Misty, but I have the Misty tools. Thanks Simon
Hoping and praying I can snag this asap😍😍😍
Yes! You’ll love it. :)
I’ve ordered my first Misti once you announced pre-release. I will use the taping down of the mouse pad. Actually all your advice is something I will try. Thank you Simon
Yay! You are gonna love it Michele. :)
Simon, you’ve convinced me...I’m getting a MISTI!
Thank you for creating such awesome tutorials. I just found you on TH-cam, definitely following you.
My favorite way to use the MISTI is with my grand kids......they love how easy it is.
How does it stamp all the way with the magnet in the way?
well done Simon
Thanks Susan! Hugs :)
Do you know when the new Misti begins shipping?
Love your statement Dudes a d Dudedebts,thank you for the tips yoo!
What kind of paper do you use for stamping and which markers? Thanks
These are the inks I use for stamping: ldli.co/e/0m7yql This is the paper I use for stamping: ldli.co/e/m65klm
Have you completed a comparison of the Misti and the Stamparatus yet ? I haven’t been able to search the videos yet. :)
Hi Simon, Maybe this is in the video somewhere but I didn't see it - sometimes my cling stamps don't cling to the cover, they fall off. What is your solution? Thanks so much for your enthusiasm!
Wash the part of your cling stamp that is supposed to stick with a bit of water... that gets rid of all of the dust and gunk that it preventing it from sticking. Once it’s dry, try again! :)
Where do you get the extra parts?
I just purchased the MISTI stamping tool (not the mini) and separately ordered the MISTI Mouse Pad. Well, the Mouse Pad is way too big. Are we supposed to cut it down to size?
Haven’t got a Misti yet but I want this new one!!
You are going to love this one. :)
thx!!!!!
Thanks for the help Si! Hugs my crafty Bro XOXOXO
No problem... hugs! :)
My clear stamps are sticking to the paper and it pulls up when I open the Misti, therefore the paper is moving. I am using 2 magnets, and it still moves. Any suggestions?
Sometimes that happens with new stamps. It’s common… just make sure to have the paper in the corner and if it pulls up you can put it back in the corner in the exact same spot. :)
I liked the tip on taping the mat. Does the additional mousepad also move? Is it worth buying that if it fits better? Thanks
Yes... the mousepad still moves, but it always will. Not a downside, but on the off-chance that it moves I tape it down. :)
👍🏽👏🏽
From where you get that stamping
