I am delighted to say that Kitty has asked me to stay until the end of the year as a designer at My Mum’s Craft Shop. I love the MFT Up in the Air stamps and dies and having bought some photo booth frames had an idea to use them with the animals peeping over them. Coloured with Copics and teamed with LOTV Up Up and Away papers. I used one of my favourite sets of dies, MFT pierced fishtail stax. The bunting and sentiment are [art of the Up in the Air set and I added some wooden hearts.

I am sure many of you will be familiar with the stamping tools on the market, particularly the MISTI. I thought they looked good but rather expensive. When I saw the Tonic Tim Holtz tool come out at a much cheaper price I decided to watch a video of Tim demonstrating its use. Of course then everyone was out of stock! A couple of weeks later I got one from Craftstash where you get a 20% off code for your first order so a bargain as they had it reduced too. I have only used it a few times but I am very impressed.
It is really good for sets of stamps like MFT as I can stamp multiple stamps together. I tried a rubber stamp which sometimes doesn't stamp well the first time and sure enough it missed some detail. With the stamping tool I just reinked that section and went over the stamp knowing it would be in exactly the same place so no more wasted card. I am really pleased I bought one.

So gorgeous Marianne.I love your fab design and the images are so sweet ;D
Adorable card! Love how the critters peeking out from the frame windows!
Misti is really very expensive and I made my Misti-DIY with an Ikea frame andit works well. I think that these stamp positioners are a true necessity! No more wasted bad stamped images! :)
Cute card and love the sweet animals. Hugs, Carol S.xx

This is such a sweet card Marianne. Barbxx
Marianne this is gorgeous hunny! I love that little triptych of creatures, so cute popping through the windows there. Love the woodchip hearts too. Lovely paper combo and fishtail design. Just gorgeous. Hugs, Wends xoxo
Forgot to say, I just bought a stamping tool too, not a MISTI, as to get that in NZ is prohibitively expensive, but I too love mine to bits!! So brilliant for all those naughty rubber stamps that don't stamp well first time. Glad you're enjoying the Tim Holtz one, it does look fabulous. Hugs, Wends xoxo
Absolutely gorgeous creation.
Thanks for joining in with The Ribbon Girl May Anything Goes - Any Image Challenge, and good luck in the prize draw.
Hugs, Donna xx
