I fully agree with the MISTI being #1!!!! TFS!

I tried stamping about 10 years ago with a couple wood stamps and gave up quickly. I'm too shaky and never got a good image. Second time around about three years ago I wanted to try again and bought a Misti. I've been hooked ever since! My stamp press has also helped my hand pain/weakness! Lastly, watching crafters like you is my #1 most important tool! You help people feel confident that they too can try this! Thanks, Cathy!

Without antistatic powder I usually just use a small brush to take the excess powder off, of course it takes longer, and you can mess up the design if you’re not careful but it’s a good way to start

Hi Cathy. I have never commented before on your videos. You DO make me laugh a lot :) I bought a silicone mat. off amazon about a year ago. Measures 15"x24", 1/8" thick, blue color. I LOVE this mat. Keeps work area CLEAN, ink pads don't slide about, can ink blend on it and then the ink just wipes off, can heat emboss and not worry about the heat. Glitter does stick - put EVERYTHING glitter, ink, glue wipes right off with a baby wipe. LOVE this thing!! Best think I have purchased since the Misty. try it - you'll LOVE it!! Have not tried alcohol inks - don't believe those would wipe off :) - still use glass for that. ha ha

Great tips for the most useful tools. All are game changers.

I've got all 5, not necessarily from the same manufacturers, and use them all almost every time I stamp. Thanks, Cathy!

[dmesm]

I agree Cathy! I have accumulated them all over the years and couldn't craft without them!

[lindachaplin]

I totally agree, these are products I probably use every day. The Misti was a life changer for me, it put the fun back into stamping. Thank you for all you do for us!

[suklinkner]

I agree with all of them, I also have all of them, maybe not the same manufacturer but what I have works great!!!!

[debbiepiccolo]

Great video. I think you are right about all the tools.

[lindaanderson]

I use all of these tools daily, not all the same brands but each one is a game-changer in my crafting world.

[cheribrowning]

I am getting better at remembering to use my powder tool after watching you and Gina K as much as I do!! So frustrating when I forget! 🤨😁💙

[neliparadon]

Gee Cathy; you’ve taught me good tings

[jacquelinetaylor-brown]

Good evening, this isJacqui. I live in Jamaica and on a very slow cardmaking journey. Your video has been eye opening. your Ideas are really novel to me. I started but challenged with the cost of purchasing and shipping but impressed with what can be accomplished by following your suggestions. Great job.

[patticallihan]

Thank you Cathy for your favorite tools. I am also lucky I own them too. Have a wonderful Day. See you soon.💖💜❤️💜💖💜

[janemason]

I agree the misti is magical!, I love it.
Keeps your stamping enjoyable.

[charlirobinson]

I had a difficult time using the reverse tweezers when I first tried them. Stuck them away away and forgot about them for a few years. Went looking for something, found them and now use them ALL the time! They hold so much better. I don't have but think I need, the little powder puff thingy ...
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!!

[anniethompson]
