Handmade Holiday Magic with SweetMissDaisy Designs

 

Hello and welcome to the November SweetMissDaisy Release—available now at SweetMissDaisy Designs on Etsy!

This month’s collection is overflowing with festive inspiration — five beautifully illustrated stamp sets, one charming paper pack, and a coordinating notepad that ties it all together. I had the best time creating four very different cards, each showcasing something special from the release.

🌸  Holly Branch Elegance

Let’s start with the timeless beauty of the Holly Branch stamp set. I wanted to echo the look of the coordinating notepad, so I softly brushed Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges to create a gently aged background.

Using images from both Holly Branch and the Mixed Media set, I built layers of texture with a light hand — I especially love the “25” and the distressed round postage image.

The sentiment banner is popped up with ribbon for a touch of dimension, and inside I tucked a piece of the Be Merry notepad for a coordinated finish.

❄️  Peaceful Winter Scene

The Winter Scene stamp set captures that serene, vintage look I love. It includes postmarks and mixed-media accents, but this time I let the main image shine on its own.

The background is patterned paper from the Rustic Winter Paper Pack, and I added the simple but powerful “Peace on Earth” sentiment. It’s such an elegant and tranquil combination.

🍬  Sweet Gingerbread Treats

Now for something a little playful! The Gingerbread Cookies set is pure delight. I stamped the gingerbread girl onto a tag, then paired it with a kraft background stamped with the Threads background stamp.

Pink and brown is one of my favorite cozy combos, so I added a “Thank You – You’re So Sweet” banner and a few pink peppermint die-cuts to finish. This one just makes me smile every time!

🎄 Mixed Media Christmas Collage

Finally, I had fun mixing and matching across sets for this collage-style card. The Mixed Media set takes the lead, but I also brought in Decorate the Tree for the sentiment, Holly Branch for the “25” and circle, and Winter Scene for the postmark image.

I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die to divide the space into blocks and filled each section with softly sponged red, green, and brown inks. A couple of bows finish the design.

Even though the Mixed Media set isn’t strictly holiday-themed, it layers beautifully for Christmas projects!
