Beachside Critters for the SweetMissDaisy Designs Release!

 Hello everyone! I have three fun cards to share featuring the June Release from SweetMissDaisy Designs! This release is packed with adorable critters enjoying all the best parts of summer, making it perfect for seasonal cards, challenges, and happy mail.

Soakin' Up Sunshine

My first card features the Cool Summer stamp set paired with papers from the Citrus Paper Pack. The bright colors made it a perfect fit for the wallpaper inspiration photo from this week's Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge.

I started by creating a selfie-style frame and stamped the beach-going snowman inside it. The background is a soft yellow pattern from the Citrus Paper Pack, and since the inspiration photo included touches of yellow, green, orange, and red, I incorporated those colors throughout the scene. To finish the design, I popped up a sunshine die-cut from the Citrus Paper Pack and added the cheerful "Soakin' Up Sunshine" sentiment.

Just Chillin'

Next up are these adorable chickens enjoying an ice cream treat from the Just Sand stamp set. For this card, I added a 2½" x 5½" star-filled border along the right side and die-cut a navy scalloped circle to frame the image.

The papers come from the new Stars and Stripes Paper Pack, which adds a fun patriotic feel to the design. Even though the card doesn't specifically mention the Fourth of July, the red, white, and blue color palette makes it perfect for summer celebrations and holiday greetings. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Just Chillin' stamp set.

I'll be entering this card in the Splitcoaststampers Free 4 All Challenge, where the theme is "Chillin'."

Beachside Kitty

Lastly, let's take a look at the Beachside stamp set! I selected the sweet kitty drifting along the beach from the four adorable images included in the set.

This stamp set is wonderful for scene building. After stamping the main image, I added a bright sun and two fluffy clouds to create a cheerful beach day. The background paper is from the Citrus Paper Pack, layered with white cardstock and the image panel.

I colored the scene using deep blues, bright yellows, and a pop of red to capture the fun energy of summer. This card will be entered into the #SSSIGChallenge @SimonSaysChallenge, where the theme is "Make a Scene."

If you'd like to recreate any of these cards, you'll find all of the new stamps and papers used here in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Shop.
