Hey everybody! Today I am super excited to to compare two of my most favorite stamping tools, to see which one is right for you. Unless you want to buy both, of course!
The original MISTI and the mini MISTI are a very similar tool with the exception of their size. The original MISTI is a 6-1/2 x 8-1/2 inch tool and will pull $60.00 out of your pocket. However the mini MISTI is a 6 x 4-3/4 inch tool and will run you $45.00.
Now, you might be thinking the obvious way to go is the cheaper tool. I am here to tell you that it might be true in some cases, but not all. There are many differences between what you can do with both tools.
With the original MISTI you are able to mass produce and stamp two cards at the same time. You can also stamp bigger projects using this MISTI. However, if you have a small space or like to travel this big tool might not be a great option for your investment. I have a whole video on the original MISTI here: https://goo.gl/Qoh9xX
The mini MISTI has great advantages for the traveling card maker. If you love to create on the road this small tool is sleek and easy to pack with lots of other room for supplies. Also, when fully opened this tool does not take up too much space on your work desk. Lastly, this tool can only fit on card base inside so if you are just a card maker at heart this is a great option for you!
Enjoy the video!

Great video! I have the original Misti and love it!
After watching the video, I decided to get the original. Thanks for holding them next to each other so I could compare.
As usual, your video put a smile on my face! I own the original Misti, thanks to my son who bought it for me for Mother’s Day!
Great job on the MISTI video! I have both sizes and as you say, each has its special use depending on what you are doing. LOVE them both!!!!
Paper Hugs,

Love the video! I like the original because I can open up a card and perfectly line up the sentiment inside with the Misti and the grid overlay. No more off center or crooked sentiments!
A great comparison video. I have the bigger one but would someday like the smaller on for when I am mass producing or travelling.
HI simon, tomorrow is my bday and I asked for a mini misti, thank u for t info. Now I hope I get it.;)
Feeding and watering your MISTI until it gave birth to the smaller MISTI! Ha, ha, ha! That was so cute!
I love your explanation of the differences and sameness of the MISTI’s as it was helpful. When I can, I will be purchasing the original MISTI as it is the perfect size for me. Thank you, Simon!
I’m lucky enough to have both sizes. I got the larger one for Christmas and I won the mini during the May-nia celebration where one was given away every day during May. If I were to only have one, I’d choose the larger one. I like that I can use it for a larger size card, not just an A2 or smaller, I also like that I can stamp several different images on one sheet of paper to be colored and fussy cut for cards. There are so many reasons that I just love my MISTIs, both of them. Thanks!
Hi Simon.I have Mini and Original. I love them both.Thanks for all the info
I have the Mini MISTI and love it. It’s perfect for my needs as a card maker.
I just ordered the mini misti because the Canadian $ made it soo expensive to get the original one. I’m buying it for the art therapy classes I volunteer to teach at our local domestic abuse shelter. This is much smaller seen in your hands but all the classes material comes from my own money. I just couldn’t afford it. 🙁
