I'm LOVING the 12x12 MISTI and don't know how I managed without it! I have the MISTI mini as well and it is also great for smaller projects and cards and is definitely a great portable option but the 12x12, in my opinion, is even better as the stamping space is SO large. Even for making cards, I now prefer using the large MISTI as I can more easily stamp with large and detailed background stamps, multiple stamps at once and even multiple cards at once using different stamps! Great investment and a must have for scrapbooking and card making or another other stamping craft!!
