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 June Instagram Hop is happening now! There’s still time to comment for a chance to win some fabulous goodies. Hop along and see the amazing inspiration from the Pajama Crafter Stamps design team.

 I hope you’ll join the hop and play along with this week’s challenges at Splitcoaststampers, too!

Until next time—caffeinate and create!

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!
