Angels, Santas & Gingerbread—Oh My!

 It’s Release Day at SweetMissDaisy Designs – and oh, what a festive and fabulous lineup it is!

This new collection delivers the cool, creative breeze of Christmas in July with four incredible stamp sets and four beautiful paper packs—perfect for sparking your holiday crafting spirit.

❄️ Card 1: Star Snow Angel

Isn’t she the sweetest? Inspired by #ArtNudge 725A, I leaned into the color palette and playful spirit of the photo prompt. The girl in the image is holding an American flag, so I echoed that energy with extra stars as embellishments. For the background, I tore paper from the Let it Snowman pack to add texture and whimsy. This project is also part of this week’s Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge, where a charming porch snowman sparked my imagination. Wouldn’t this little Star Snow Angel make the cutest life-sized porch décor IRL?

🎅 Card 2: Hope For All

This Santa is just stunning—his gentle expression and the added elements in the Hope For All set make it a joy to create with. I stamped the North Pole postmark twice, then added the snowflake trio partially on the white panel and partially on patterned paper from the Distressed Snowflake pack. The paper itself is dreamy, filled with subtle snowflakes and postmarks. I again drew from #ArtNudge 725A for my colors. This card is also headed to the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge!

👼 Card 3: Angel Wishes

For my third card, I shifted away from patriotic colors and dove into the soft charm of Angel Wishes. I began with #ArtNudge 725A in mind and chose paper from the Gingerbread pack, but soon realized the “blue” border had a lovely purplish tint—so I went with it! I think it actually follows #ArtNudge 725C more closely! I truly loved coloring this sweet angel, and the tones turned out just right.

Baby, You're a Firework! And a Sale!

 Happy 4th of July, friends!

This week’s Free 4 All Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is all about Romance—think "adore you" moments, sweet sentiments, and heartfelt designs.

I couldn’t resist mixing things up with a little love and some fireworks! I paired the adorable kitty from the High Five stamp set by Pajama Crafter Stamps with fireworks and the sentiment from Yankee Doodle Day. My husband and I both adore kitties, so this playful image and the "Baby, You’re a Firework!" sentiment made the perfect combo for a fun card just for him. (Let’s be honest—I’m definitely the fiery one in the relationship! 😄)

We’d love to see how you interpret the challenge! Head over to the Splitcoaststampers F4All Challenge and join the fun.

Caffeinate and Hope for the Best

Hello, everyone!

Today I’m sharing a card featuring the adorably sleepy kitty from the Pajama Power stamp set—part of the brand-new June release from Pajama Crafter Stamps! This charming set includes a fun mix of images and sentiments, making it a must-have for playful, personality-packed cards.

I created this project for the Splitcoaststampers CAS Challenge, where we're celebrating “June is Adopt a Cat Month.” Naturally, I couldn’t resist this drowsy feline, cozied up with her pink mug. The sentiment had me laughing—"I don't rise and shine; I caffeinate and hope for the best." Who can’t relate? Since this is a CAS card I didn't add a lot to the design. However, I die-cut one of the card borders with the Stitched Scalloped Border to add a dash of interest to the design. 

I’m also honoring this week’s Featured Stamper, Lisa. One of her most recent gallery entries inspired me—a sweet black kitty card that made me smile the moment I saw it. Thanks for the creative spark, Lisa!

The Buzz about Wings

Hello friends! This week's Free 4 All Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is all about Things with Wings—and the possibilities are wide open! We've suggested everything from the literal to the whimsical: mechanical, magical, architectural, abstract—you name it!

 I kept it sweet and simple with this charming kitty scene, featuring one of my favorite little additions—a bee! I absolutely adore the bees from SweetMissDaisy—they’re always so irresistibly cute, and this one hovering at the top adds just the right touch of whimsy.

The peaceful kitty nestled among the flowers brings a cheerful feel to the design. Whether you’re inspired by birds, bugs, buildings, or your own imagination, I hope you’ll join in the fun and show us your winged creations!

I also used paper from the gorgeous Quilted Grunge Brights paper pack.  Everything is available in the SweetMissDaisy Etsy Shop!

Celebrating!

Yay! Summer is here! ☀️

This month at @PajamaCrafterStamps, we’re celebrating the 4th of July, dads, and summer snacks (hello, chips! 🧂).

I am featuring the adorable Yankee Doodle Day set on the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog 

Today’s stars: the fawn and eaglet (so cute!).🦌🦅 I created an evening scene using Memento Northern Green and Distress Ink Prize Ribbon. I opted for sparkling stars instead of fireworks on this card, joining in the celebration of this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers! Congratulations to Mary Ross!

Christmas Elegance in June

 🎄
Hello, friends!

I can’t believe we’ve made it to June 1st already. It’s been quite the nine-month journey at our home, but we’re finally nearing the finish line—and looking forward to enjoying a slower, sweeter season. ✨

Today I’m sharing my card for the Splitcoaststampers, June Fan Club Christmas Challenge. I fell hard for this month's elegant inspiration. So sophisticated and dreamy!

I chose the Season’s Gifting set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. The sleigh image has elegant lines, and it fits the mood of the inspiration perfectly. (also sold as a bundle) 

To finish the card, I used the "Noel" word die from the Christmas Words with Shadow set. And of course, I couldn’t resist a little extra shimmer—so I brushed Wink of Stella over all the gold elements for a soft, festive sparkle. ✨

This challenge was such a joy—don’t you just love when the photo speaks directly to your creative heart? I can’t wait to see what you make!

As always, I reached for my MISTI and other trusty tools from My Sweet Petunia.

One of my favorite things about using the MISTI is how easy it is to make multiples. Check out how I stamped the backs of several cards and added a whimsical coordinating touch to the back of today's card!  

 My Sweet Petunia tools that help me make (almost) every card include the Sticky Mats, Mini MISTI, Cut Align Ruler, and Alignment Grids. With them, stamping is a joyous pursuit!

Today's card features:

Unfrogettable (stamp)

Handmade By (stamp)

Ribbit (paper pack)

All items are available now at the SweetMiss Daisy Designs Etsy shop!
