Favorite Colors for my Valentine

 With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I couldn’t resist indulging in my favorite colors for this sweet and love-filled project! 💖💌


 To see the full card, stop by the My Sweet Petunia Blog!  


 I used the adorable Framed Bunnies and the Love paper pack from SweetMissDaisy Designs
 
Tools:
Mini MISTI - for smaller images and sentiments
Original MISTI - for a clean, crisp impressions
 Alignment Grids – for perfect positioning
 Sticky Mats – to keep everything in place
 Precision Glue Press – for flawless adhesive application
 Cut Align Ruler – for crisp, straight edges

I used the Art Nudge 225B as inspiration.  The red heart is in a circular framing so I added a heart on a circle die cut. I also used a lot of browns in my framing.

Hearts For You

Hello, creative friends! 🎨✉️

I’m excited to be hosting this week’s F4All Challenge, and we’re featuring postage on our projects! For my design, I used a large postage stamp die to frame the cutest bunny ever—and trust me, this little one will steal your heart! 💕

I stamped and colored the darling Heart Banner Bunny and framed her with a large Postage Stamp die for a fun, mail-inspired look. I used a small postage stamp die to frame the sentiment to tie it all together—because even the tiniest details make a difference!

The Heart Banner Bunny and the LOVE paper pack are available at the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy Shop, so be sure to check them out!



For my coloring, I followed the Art Nudge 225A challenge palette—the perfect guide to bring this sweet bunny to life! 🎨🐰


This challenge is part of a link party on the Art Nudge blog, and there’s even a cool prize package up for grabs! So, why not join the fun? I can’t wait to see your postage-themed creations!

Happy crafting! ✂️💌

So Many Reasons to be Happy!

Happy Saturday and Happy February 1st!
It's an exciting day because it's Release Day for SweetMissDaisy Designs! I always love sharing new releases; this month's collection is adorable.

Framed Bunnies Card
The first card I created features the Framed Bunnies set. I absolutely love this set! The sentiment is not specific to a time of year, making it perfect for many occasions. Those little hearts? Simply adorable! I used them as embellishments to add an extra touch of sweetness. For the background, I chose patterned paper from the Mini Gingham paper pack—it pairs beautifully with the soft and cozy feel of the bunnies. 


This card used the spring colors and theme of Art Nudge 225.  Art Nudge is a month-long link party with a chance to win a prize!  

Heart Banner Bunny Card

Next up, I used the Heart Banner Bunny set to create another fun card. This set includes four sentiments, a heart border stamp, and an adorable mini stamp that would be perfect for adding a finishing touch to the back of a card. For this project, I selected paper from the LOVE paper pack. This pack's colors and patterns are so sweet and fitting for a heartfelt design.


Cozy Wishes is also BACK in the store!  Yay!  

I am featuring her at SCS today!  


I had so much fun putting these cards together, and I can't wait to see what everyone creates with these new releases. What do you think of these sets? Which one is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

I Adore You

It's time for a new Art Nudge Challengewith a chance to win a prize! 

Are you ready for some creative fun? Our latest Art Nudge Challenge is here, and if you upload your project, you might just win an exciting prize! 


 I took inspiration from Art Nudge #125B, using its delightful theme and color combo. While I included most of the colors from the chart, I skipped orange and let the other shades take center stage.

Let me introduce you to this adorable Raggedy Bunny from Sweet Miss Daisy Designs. Isn’t it the sweetest? Good news—this little cutie should be in the shop by the end of next week! The snowmen stamp sets and Worn Dots paper are back in the store now!

For my card, I started by stamping the fun hearts border randomly to create a cheerful vibe. Next, I stamped the cute bunny front and center and added a little tag featuring the heart from the same set. One of my favorite things about Anna’s designs is the small embellishment stamps she includes in her sets. They’re perfect for adding those little finishing touches that make your project extra special.


Now it’s your turn! Grab your supplies, let the theme and colors from Art Nudge #125B inspire you, and create something wonderful. Don’t forget to share your project—and you just might win a prize! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Happy crafting!

Cozy Wishes, The Debut of a Sweet New Company, and Art Nudge Inspiration

Hello! Welcome to a special day on the blog. I am thrilled to be part of Sweet Miss Daisy's first Design Team! Seeing the new designs has been so exciting, and I know you will love them as much as I do. The January Release is now available at Sweet Miss Daisy Designs

 The stamp sets are the sweetest—the cards practically make themselves! I also adore the papers. If you’ve used Anna Wight’s patterned papers in the past, you’ll be happy to know these new paper packs are of the same high quality. The key difference is that they come as loose sheets, keeping them crisp since you don’t have to worry about bending them when tearing them out of a pad.

For my first card, I used the Cozy Wishes stamp set. Isn’t this snowman adorable? I love how Anna adds fun little extras to each set—in this case, an extra bit of holly. I fussy-cut the holly and added it as an embellishment to the sentiment. TI used a piece of patterned paper from the Worn Dots paper pack, and it’s absolutely spectacular!

Happy crafting, and I can’t wait to see what you create!




My next card features Charming. Isn’t he handsome? I created snowy hills for him and randomly stamped snowflakes in the sky. The background paper is from Mini Gingham. It was such a joy to work on this card!


 I’m also excited to announce a NEW Art Challenge with a chance to win a prize! This challenge first debuted as a Facebook group in 2020. You can now find it on the Art Nudge Blog, complete with a link to upload your cards.

I used the snowman theme and the orange accessories for both cards. 


I pop over to the Nudge to see what everyone makes; I hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Winter Delight and My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats

 Hello! Today I am on My Sweet Petunia Blog with a crafty tip about Sticky Mats.  

I love using My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats in my crafting projects. They’ve become an essential tool, especially when working with large cling stamps like the charming Penny Black Resting Picket Fence.

Stop by the blog for my Sticky Mat pro tip!

 Art Nudge #105 on Facebook inspired the image and coloring.  I made the little birds, Purple House Finches. These adorable birds bring joy to my day as I watch them out the window, so I couldn’t resist incorporating them on this card. I love the result—vibrant and heartwarming—just like the view outside!



A few of my favorite tools I use every day:
