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.
