New Release from SweetMissDaisy Designs – Meet Roo, Unfrogettable, and More!

 It’s time to celebrate—SweetMissDaisy Designs just launched an adorable new release, and it’s full of creative possibilities! This drop includes charming new stamp sets, two beautiful paper pads, a coordinating note pad, and a set of stickers—all designed to make your projects pop with personality.

🐔 My first project features Roo, the dapper rooster, paired with the Chicken Wire paper pack. I accented the sentiment tag with a piece of red gingham ribbon to echo Roo’s stylish flair. I also used one of the playful flower embellishments—it has an open center that lets you choose between two different smiles or keep it solid for a more classic look.

🐸 Next up is the Unfrogettable frog card! This little cutie is all decked out in a party hat and colored to match the Unfrogettable Note Pad. For the background, I used a patterned piece from the brand-new Ribbit Paper Pack—it’s filled with charming little illustrations that bring everything together. Inside the card, I added a piece of the matching notepad (Pond Life). It’s a sweet little surprise for the recipient and makes it easy to write a message on the dark card base.

Don’t miss out—head to the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop for the full release!

Happy crafting and happy release day! 💛

I Soda Think You are Cute!

Hello and welcome to Opening Day of the Pajama Crafter Stamps Release!

As the poster (pictured below) proudly says, this month is all about Baseball – Golf – Good Eats – and Softball! ⚾⛳🌭🥎

Today I’m featuring the Stadium Food stamp set! It includes four adorable characters and seven punny sentiments that are perfect for summer cards and crafty fun. I had such a great time coloring the cola bottle—it turned out so yummy-looking, it’s making me thirsty! 😄

I paired the cola with the charming sandwich wrap and two clever sentiments for a card full of flavor and fun.

Be sure to swing by the Pajama Crafter Stamps store to check out the new release. You don’t want to miss these cuties—play ball!

 

So Glad We are Friends

 I am on My Sweet Petunia Blog with the full reveal of this sweet friendship card! I share how I made the border from the sweet two-inch-long background stamp.

Inspiration came from this week's Splitcoaststampers F4A791 - Use 2 stamp sets

and the Art Nudge 425C.  All are welcome to participate in both challenges! The Art Nudge is a link party challenge with a chance to win a prize!

  

SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop is where you can find all the cute SMD stamps and papers!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Power Outages, Projects, and Sweet Friends

It’s been one of those weeks—power outages, several days without internet, and workmen renovating the house with all the noise and dust for extra intensity! So I’m combining blog posts and sharing a double dose of cardmaking goodness!

First up is this super sweet card featuring Sisters & Friends from the SweetMissDaisy Designs collection. The soft background is made with the Spring Mini Gingham paper pack, also from SweetMissDaisy. Isn’t it lovely? This image instantly made me think of my own sister as I colored it. I especially adore the sentiment inside:

“Sisters, different flowers from the same garden.”

It’s such a tender thought and perfect for this image.

This card was inspired by #ArtNudge 425A and 425B—a creative challenge that’s always full of inspiration. You can even link up your own project for a chance to win a prize!

I chose this with this week's F4A790 Challenge at Splitcoaststampers in mind. The challenge is "All Dressed Up." We would love for you to join us!

Card Two: A Sentiment Straight from the Heart

My second card is also inspired by Art Nudge 425B. I challenged myself to include almost all the colors from the Nudge palette—and I love how it turned out!

For the background, I stamped one of the Small Backgrounds from SweetMissDaisy Designs in green ink on green cardstock for a subtle texture. Then I layered it up with a bright red circle and a crisp white half-circle, both die cut using the Eyelet Circle Die Set.

The sweet and simple sentiment, “I love you!”, is from the Sisters & Friends set featured on the first card. It’s something most sisters have said a thousand times—and never too many.

Thanks for hanging in there with me through a hectic week! I’ll be back soon with more inspiration. In the meantime, I hope you get a chance to check out the Art Nudge challenge and SweetMissDaisy Designs shop! 💛

 

Happy to Bee Among the Flowers - SweetMissDaisy Release Day

 Happy Release Day for SweetMissDaisy Designs!

I'm excited to share this month’s new goodies from SweetMissDaisy Designs—two gorgeous paper packs and three adorable stamp sets! Today, I'm featuring the oh-so-sweet GiGi stamp. Isn’t she the cutest? I love how she looks nestled among those vibrant flowers, with a busy little bee buzzing above her.

I paired her with the Bzzz background paper—how perfect is that? I always have the most fun when I get to mix and match coordinating stamps and papers. Everything works together so beautifully!
You can find all the new items at the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy Shop.

Art Nudge 425A, which features stunning florals and a bee, also inspired this card! I couldn’t resist letting that inspiration guide this happy little scene.

I am also participating in the Paper Funday Challenge with the Optional Twist of using something that starts with the letter B!

I have buzzing bees all over my project. Beautiful blooms surround the darling kitty and the name of the paper pack is Bzzz.

Go peek at what’s new—there’s so much to love!

Thanks for stopping by!

No Fooling--A Christmas Challenge on April 1st!

 No Fooling—A Christmas Challenge on April 1st!

April 1st is known for pranks, but this is no joke! At Splitcoaststampers, our Christmas Challenge runs all year long, and it just so happens that this month’s Fan Club Christmas Challenge kicks off on April Fools’ Day.

For my card, I used a beautiful Christmas stamp set gifted to me by a generous friend. The set includes an angel, stars, a dove, and a lovely sentiment. While the challenge photo featured Christmas lights shaped like an angel, I found myself drawn to the wings and chose to use the dove instead. To capture the sparkle of the glowing lights, I added a few shimmering gems for a festive touch.

I stamped the image and sentiment on hot-pressed watercolor paper—another thoughtful gift from the same friend! The smooth texture was perfect for crisp stamping while allowing for a bit of paint movement, making it a joy to work with.

Thanks for stopping by! We’d love for you to join us at Splitcoaststampers, where you’ll find creative challenges every day of the week. Hope to see you there!
