… is just a few of my favorite things!
But before I break into song … which I could easily start singing because TODAY is a BIG DAY at Kitchen Sink Stamps … but, you will have to keep reading to find out why.
First, it is true, there are few stamping tools I have grown to truly LOVE and would never want to part with … one is my Silhouette electronic cutting machine and the other is the MISTI!
The MISTI makes it so much easier lining up each step when multi-step stamping and a dream when stamping multiples of the same card! I would have to work really hard to get 3 sunflowers precisely in a row without using the MISTI, and no way could I stamp an exact duplicate of the same card as I did here!
And what could I love more than multi-step stamping with the MISTI… but have a super FUN BLOG HOP together with My Sweet Petunia (the creator of the MISTI)!
Everyone who comments on every stop on the hop will be entered to win one of two prizes – winner’s choice of an original or mini MISTI, and a $50 gift certificate from Kitchen Sink Stamps.
Winners will be announced on October 3rd on My Sweet Petunia blog and on my blog here.

Congratulations, Maria, on your 10th anniversary with Kitchen Sink Stamps. Your creative sets are like no others out there. They picture the images with photographic perfection making them look so absoltely real. I agree completely how a MISTI is the number one tool to use with multilayering stamping. You two companies complement each other perfectly.

Congrats on 10 years! I love these stamps and I’m glad to see other companies trying to copy them. However, they’ve got a long way to go before they match the quality and detail of KSS stamps. Maria, your images are truly the gold standard in multi-step stamping!
