Hello friends!
It's release day at SweetMissDaisy Designs, and there is so much to share! This month's release includes two delightfully spooky stamp sets created in partnership with Serendipity Stamps, one fantastic SweetMissDaisy Designs original, and—because Christmas cardmakers never really take a season off—a charming skating snowman!
Let's take a look at today's projects.
Fab-boo-lous Ghosts
First up is the adorable Fab-boo-lous stamp set featuring six "too cute to spook" ghosts! These little ghosts are perfect for cards, but they would also make fabulous treat toppers, tags, gift card holders, party favors, and more.
For my card, I selected three of the sweet ghosts and paired them with two of the fun sentiments. The tiny spider comes from the Open If You Dare stamp set—I love mixing sets to create even more possibilities!
The purple patterned paper from the new Monster Brights paper pack makes the perfect playful Halloween background. I selected two different photos from this week's Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge for this cheerful Halloween design.
Haunted Halloween
Next up is a wonderfully creepy haunted house!
The haunted house image comes from the Haunted stamp set. I began with a 3¼" x 5½" piece of bright chartreuse patterned paper from the Monster Brights paper pack centered on my card base.
One of my favorite elements is the crescent moon "fence" in the background. The die is actually retired and originally created to make a rosette, but I discovered it makes an amazing spooky fence! It's always fun to stretch your supplies and find new uses for older dies.
I stamped the haunted house onto a 3⅛" x 3½" panel and colored it simply with touches of chartreuse on the moon, sky, and ground. Sometimes a limited color palette creates just the right eerie mood.
Hey Pumpkin!
How can you resist this lovable little ghost?
The sweet image from the Hey Pumpkin stamp set features an adorable ghost proudly holding a smiling jack-o'-lantern. I combined papers from both the Monster Brights and Monster Prints collections to create lots of playful Halloween color and pattern.
Soft blue-green shadows give the ghost a gentle glow, while bright orange enamel dots and a "Happy Halloween" sentiment complete the card with a fun pop of color.
Skating By
Last—but certainly not least—is the monthly snowman release!
The Skating By stamp set features a bundled-up snowman happily gliding across the ice. I colored his cozy winter clothes in cheerful shades of yellow, red, and green for a classic Christmas look.
The background comes from the Worn Dots paper pack, and I finished the card with lots of die-cut snowflakes to create a magical winter wonderland scene.
This card is skating into three Splitcoaststampers challenges:
- F4A858 – Countdown to Cool
- CCC26AUG – Enchanting or Magical Cards
- SCSCCAUG26 – Fan Club Christmas Challenge
All the stamp sets featured today are available now in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop!
Card making is such a wonderful way to share creativity while sending something meaningful and handmade. Whether you're getting an early start on Halloween projects or adding to your Christmas card stash, I hope today's cards inspire you to spend some happy time creating.
