New Year, New Cuteness with SweetMissDaisy Designs

New Year, Brand New SweetMissDaisy Designs Release!

There’s nothing like starting the year with fresh creativity, and the January SweetMissDaisy Designs release is full of charm, color, and cozy goodness. The release includes two absolutely adorable image sets, a gorgeously designed background stamp, and three colorful paper packs that mix and match beautifully.

🦨 Little Stinker

First up is the darling Little Stinker skunk set—such a cutie! This sweet skunk comes bearing flowers and works perfectly for birthdays, get-well cards, love notes, and so much more. With 12 included sentiments, this set is one you’ll reach for again and again.

For this card, I stamped the Linked background stamp using yellow and Wild Honey inks, then die-cut it to fill more than half of the card base for a bright and cheerful foundation. The sentiment “Scent with Love” adds a playful finishing touch, and a few yellow enamel dots bring everything together. Sweet… with just a hint of fragrance! 😉

❄️ Snow Couple

Next is the heart-melting Snow Couple—seriously, how can you not smile at them? I stamped the couple inside an arch, then masked the image and stamped additional snowflakes above to complete the snowy sky.

The background paper looks like a cozy quilt and comes from the Filled with Love paper pack. This pack is full of gorgeous patterns that add warmth and texture without overpowering the focal image. It’s the perfect backdrop for winter scenes and heartfelt cards.

Playing along with the WT1086 Challenge at SCS: New Beginnings - The papers, stamp and snowflake die are all new!

🌸 Coral Meadow Paper Pack

To wrap things up, I created a card designed to really show off the Coral Meadow paper pack. The floral paper is simply stunning, so I framed it inside a jumbo banner to let it shine.

I added the sentiment “Bunches of Love” from the Little Stinker set, tying this project back to the release in a fun and cohesive way. A small bow at the bottom of the banner finishes the design with a sweet detail.

Inspired by the Inspiration Challenge at SCS. 

I hope you’ll explore all the new items at SweetMissDaisy.Etsy.com—this release contains a wealth of creative possibilities. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today! 

I am playing along with ArtNudge 0126A and 0126D. To play along with a chance to win, head over to the ArtNudge Blog and link your project prompted by one or more of the weekly prompts pictured below!

Sparkle and Dazzle

I’m celebrating the first SCS Fan Club Christmas Challenge with the Snowman with Wreath stamp by SweetMissDaisy Designs, partnered with Serendipity Stamps. I paired the sweet snowman with two patterned papers from the Winter Blues paper pack by SweetMissDaisy Designs, using them in a clean, blocked background layout.

To add a bit more winter charm, I stamped snowflakes directly onto the image using coordinating elements from the same set. A few delicate die-cut snowflakes were tucked into two corners of the panel, and the sentiment “Celebrate the Season” finishes the design perfectly.

Lastly, sequins! I added them to the centers of the snowflakes and sprinkled a couple near the sentiment banner for just the right amount of sparkle.

We’d love for you to join us this year for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenges. It’s never too early to start building our Christmas stash!

Turning a Favorite Stamp Festive

 There’s something especially cozy about reflecting on favorite projects at the end of the year, and today’s card does just that. I’m celebrating the Pajama Crafter Stamps December Instagram Hop, where the team is sharing a brand-new project featuring stamps and dies from the past year. It’s been such a joyful, creative journey!

 I chose one of my favorite stamp sets of the year, Birds of a Feather. While it isn’t a Christmas set, I love stretching supplies—and with the right papers and sentiment, it transforms beautifully into a holiday card.

I paired the sweet bird with gorgeous patterned paper from the Winter Parade Paper Pack and added the Happy Christmas sentiment from the Woodland Christmas Eve stamp set. The bird is truly sweet as can be, and I colored him in soft blues to complement the rich brick red tones in the background paper.

To finish off the card, I added a few delicate die-cut snowflakes and a sprinkling of sequins for just the right touch of winter sparkle. It’s a gentle, cozy Christmas card that proves favorite stamp sets can shine year-round.

Be sure to head over to the Instagram Hop to see all the team’s favorite projects—and don’t forget, there’s a chance to win a $25 Pajama Crafter Stamps store voucher! All of the stamps used today can be found at the Pajama Crafter Stamps store.

Snowman Season in Pink

 If you follow me, you won’t be surprised to see a generous dose of pink on today’s card—it’s definitely my happy color! This week I’m playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Free 4 All Challenge, where the theme is Favorite Color, and this pink winter wonderland felt just right.

I began by inking the Spiral Snowfall background stamp in pink, then cut it down using a large postage stamp die. I love how the soft snowfall paired with the postage edges creates instant texture and interest.

The star of the card is the darling Snowman with Wreath from SweetMissDaisy Designs. I’ve had so much fun coloring this image throughout the month, and this version features a cozy mix of pinks and cranberry tones for a festive yet playful feel.

Ever since we created collage-style cards for a previous Free 4 All Challenge, I’ve been completely enamored with postage collage designs. For this card, I layered in stamps from Correspondence Bits, Winter Scene, and Holly Branch, all from SweetMissDaisy Designs, to build a whimsical, collected look.

To finish things off, I added die-cut snowflakes and a scattering of sequins for just the right amount of sparkle. This cheerful pink palette makes winter feel extra warm and joyful!

Red & Gold or Cozy & Rustic? Snowman Style Times Two

 

Let It Snow… Twice! Two Challenge Cards Featuring the SweetMissDaisy Snowman

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Today I’m sharing a pair of cozy winter cards featuring the fantastic snowman from Decorate the Tree by SweetMissDaisy Designs—and he’s dressed up two different ways for two different challenges. I had so much fun giving him a fresh personality for each scene.

 Art Nudge 1225A: Red, White & Gold Magic

For the first challenge, I dressed our happy snowman in red, white, and gold for the Art Nudge 1225A prompt. 

I started by stamping the gorgeous Decorative Snowflake Background and cutting it with a postage-stamp-style die to create a layered panel. To play up the postcard feel, I stamped a few playful postmarks using the Winter Scene stamp set. The “25” and sentiment come from Holly Branch, and they tuck perfectly into the collage.

A scattering of sparkly snowflake die cuts and sequins finishes the card with a festive, almost storybook look. It feels like a holiday postcard brought to life!

The Art Nudge Challenge is such fun.  Head over to the blog and enter your project for a chance to win!

 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge

Next up, I’m playing along with today’s Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers, featuring Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Pool Party.

Pumpkin Pie takes the lead in my snowy scene, with Real Red brightening his coat and hat. Pool Party makes a soft cameo in the background — just enough to cool the palette without stealing attention.

I placed this handsome fellow on a Rustic Winter patterned background and added another flurry of die-cut snowflakes for texture and movement. All the papers and stamps are from SweetMissDaisy Designs.

Snowflakes, Farmhouse Giggles & Bright Birthday Wishes

Welcome to the SweetMissDaisy December Release Day! I had such a wonderful time playing with the gorgeous stamps and cheerful papers in this month’s collection, and I’m so excited to share four cards with you today. Each one brought its own little spark of joy while I was creating, from snowy scenes to farmhouse giggles to bright, happy birthday wishes. Let’s take a tour!

---

Snowman With Wreath in Blue

I started the release with a peaceful winter moment. I stamped the Decorative Snowflake background stamp in a soft blue to create my own patterned paper, then die-cut it with a sweet scalloped edge. The darling Snowman with Wreath takes center stage, trimmed out and grounded on a little strip of lace for a cozy, homespun touch. A sprinkling of blue enamel dots adds a bit of frosty shimmer to finish off this gentle, snow-kissed design.

I am also playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge.

The Farmhouse Fancy Duck (Woot de Doodle Do)

This one made me laugh the whole time I was making it—I fully cracked myself up! I stamped the Chicken Wire background in gray, then created a decorative frame by die-cutting it in both gray and white. After stamping and coloring the birthday duck from Woot de Doodle Do, I placed him inside the frame… and then hung it on the chicken wire.

And honestly? I think this duck is delighted with its own portrait—fancy frame, chicken wire, and all. It’s the ultimate Farmhouse gallery wall moment! Still giggling.

Bright Birthday Wishes (Bright Candles Paper Pack)

 I dove headfirst into color for the next card! The Bright Candles Paper Pack is a true must-have if you love cheerful, happy card making. I layered several patterns for a lively background, then stamped the adorable group of feathered friends from Woot de Doodle Do. After die-cutting them with a rounded-square frame, I added a bow and a Birthday Wishes sentiment. It’s bright, bold, and bursting with celebration!

 Joy to the World Snowman

To wrap up the release, I returned to Christmas with a fresh snowfall feel. I stamped the Spiral Snowfall background in blue and layered a bright white panel on top. The sweet Snowman with Wreath makes another appearance—this time colored in cheerful reds and yellows. I added a “Joy to the World” sentiment and finished the card with die-cut snowflakes for a festive, sparkling finish.

Thank you so much for stopping by to celebrate the December Release with me!

Oh, Holy Night

Hello, friends! Can you believe we’ve reached our final Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge of 2025? What a year it's been! We have two prompts to choose from this month!

I began with watercolor paper and brushed on layered washes of blues, magentas, and yellows—letting the colors blend like a sunset slipping into night. Near the bottom, I deepened the color with a blue-black watercolor to ground the scene. Once the sky dried, I splattered the upper portion with white gold watercolor and  flecks of white paint to create a starry shimmer.

Next, I added the Nativity Silhouette die cut from Pajama Crafter Stamps, allowing that glowing sky to shine through the openings of the barn. I die cut the star from watercolor paper as well, then painted it with the same white gold watercolor so it glows softly above the holy scene. For the finishing touch, I added the “Peace” sentiment from the Christmas Words with Shadow die set.

If you love this nativity or have a few items on your wish list, be sure to check out the Pajama Crafter Stamps Black Friday special, running through Monday!

Snowy Blues and a Peaceful Scene

 Today I’m sharing a little winter wonderland that I created for both the SCS Inspiration Challenge and the SCS Mix Challenge—and oh my goodness, this one was fun to build layer by layer!  This at least cools me off looking at it, we are experiencing unseasonably warm weather!  

I started by blending several blue Distress inks to create a chilly winter look. On the smooth and dreamy background, I stamped the fantastic Threads background stamp from SweetMissDaisy Designs right over the top. A little splattered water added that frosty, textured interest that always makes winter cards feel alive. After everything dried, I added splatters of white paint to mimic falling snow.

Next came the scene itself. I stamped the beautiful Winter Scene from SweetMissDaisy Designs and die-cut it using a retired die that features a removable scalloped edge—it’s such a lovely detail. I adhered the scalloped frame to the background and popped up the main image for depth and dimension. A few die-cut snowflakes and a sweet sentiment were the perfect finishing touches.

For the Mix Challenge, we are asked to identify the Composition Type. I think I ended up with a Tunnel composition, since the eye is drawn straight toward the center of the winter scene. At least… that’s the story I’m sticking to! 😄

The SCS Inspiration Challenge was based on a gorgeous blue snowman ornament, and I loved leaning into this cool, icy palette.

I am also joining the Art Nudge 1125C with my snow-covered buildings. You can join the Art Nudge Link party here: https://www.artnudge.com/2025/11/november-art-nudge-challenge-enter-here.html
