I Soda Think You are Cute!

Hello and welcome to Opening Day of the Pajama Crafter Stamps Release!

As the poster (pictured below) proudly says, this month is all about Baseball – Golf – Good Eats – and Softball! ⚾⛳🌭🥎

Today I’m featuring the Stadium Food stamp set! It includes four adorable characters and seven punny sentiments that are perfect for summer cards and crafty fun. I had such a great time coloring the cola bottle—it turned out so yummy-looking, it’s making me thirsty! 😄

I paired the cola with the charming sandwich wrap and two clever sentiments for a card full of flavor and fun.

Be sure to swing by the Pajama Crafter Stamps store to check out the new release. You don’t want to miss these cuties—play ball!

 

So Glad We are Friends

 I am on My Sweet Petunia Blog with the full reveal of this sweet friendship card! I share how I made the border from the sweet two-inch-long background stamp.

Inspiration came from this week's Splitcoaststampers F4A791 - Use 2 stamp sets

and the Art Nudge 425C.  All are welcome to participate in both challenges! The Art Nudge is a link party challenge with a chance to win a prize!

  

SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop is where you can find all the cute SMD stamps and papers!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of you

The Birds of a Feather stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps has completely stolen my heart. It's simply fabulous and I am utterly smitten. 

I invite you to visit the Pajama Crafter Stamps blog to view the entire card.

Power Outages, Projects, and Sweet Friends

It’s been one of those weeks—power outages, several days without internet, and workmen renovating the house with all the noise and dust for extra intensity! So I’m combining blog posts and sharing a double dose of cardmaking goodness!

First up is this super sweet card featuring Sisters & Friends from the SweetMissDaisy Designs collection. The soft background is made with the Spring Mini Gingham paper pack, also from SweetMissDaisy. Isn’t it lovely? This image instantly made me think of my own sister as I colored it. I especially adore the sentiment inside:

“Sisters, different flowers from the same garden.”

It’s such a tender thought and perfect for this image.

This card was inspired by #ArtNudge 425A and 425B—a creative challenge that’s always full of inspiration. You can even link up your own project for a chance to win a prize!

I chose this with this week's F4A790 Challenge at Splitcoaststampers in mind. The challenge is "All Dressed Up." We would love for you to join us!

Card Two: A Sentiment Straight from the Heart

My second card is also inspired by Art Nudge 425B. I challenged myself to include almost all the colors from the Nudge palette—and I love how it turned out!

For the background, I stamped one of the Small Backgrounds from SweetMissDaisy Designs in green ink on green cardstock for a subtle texture. Then I layered it up with a bright red circle and a crisp white half-circle, both die cut using the Eyelet Circle Die Set.

The sweet and simple sentiment, “I love you!”, is from the Sisters & Friends set featured on the first card. It’s something most sisters have said a thousand times—and never too many.

Thanks for hanging in there with me through a hectic week! I’ll be back soon with more inspiration. In the meantime, I hope you get a chance to check out the Art Nudge challenge and SweetMissDaisy Designs shop! 💛

 

Happy to Bee Among the Flowers - SweetMissDaisy Release Day

 Happy Release Day for SweetMissDaisy Designs!

I'm excited to share this month’s new goodies from SweetMissDaisy Designs—two gorgeous paper packs and three adorable stamp sets! Today, I'm featuring the oh-so-sweet GiGi stamp. Isn’t she the cutest? I love how she looks nestled among those vibrant flowers, with a busy little bee buzzing above her.

I paired her with the Bzzz background paper—how perfect is that? I always have the most fun when I get to mix and match coordinating stamps and papers. Everything works together so beautifully!
You can find all the new items at the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy Shop.

Art Nudge 425A, which features stunning florals and a bee, also inspired this card! I couldn’t resist letting that inspiration guide this happy little scene.

I am also participating in the Paper Funday Challenge with the Optional Twist of using something that starts with the letter B!

I have buzzing bees all over my project. Beautiful blooms surround the darling kitty and the name of the paper pack is Bzzz.

Go peek at what’s new—there’s so much to love!

No Fooling--A Christmas Challenge on April 1st!

 No Fooling—A Christmas Challenge on April 1st!

April 1st is known for pranks, but this is no joke! At Splitcoaststampers, our Christmas Challenge runs all year long, and it just so happens that this month’s Fan Club Christmas Challenge kicks off on April Fools’ Day.

For my card, I used a beautiful Christmas stamp set gifted to me by a generous friend. The set includes an angel, stars, a dove, and a lovely sentiment. While the challenge photo featured Christmas lights shaped like an angel, I found myself drawn to the wings and chose to use the dove instead. To capture the sparkle of the glowing lights, I added a few shimmering gems for a festive touch.

I stamped the image and sentiment on hot-pressed watercolor paper—another thoughtful gift from the same friend! The smooth texture was perfect for crisp stamping while allowing for a bit of paint movement, making it a joy to work with.

Thanks for stopping by! We’d love for you to join us at Splitcoaststampers, where you’ll find creative challenges every day of the week. Hope to see you there!

Hopping into Easter

Hi! I'm on the My Sweet Petunia Blog today with the delightful Potted Bunny from SweetMissDaisy Designs. Hop to the My Sweet Petunia Blog for the full card reveal! 🐰🌸

Hey Chick!

Hey, Chick! 

I am sharing a sweet chicken card inspired by The Art Nudge #325D.

I used the colors of the art prompt and the chicken theme, although the photo is a picture of eggs.  :) Gosh, I wonder how much that basket of eggs would cost today?! Can you believe the price of eggs? 

Anyway, on to happier topics. The cute chicken paper is from the Home Paper Pack. The image is from the Henny & Penny stamp set, and the sentiment is from Happy Spring.  All these items are on the SweetMissDaisy Etsy Shop! 

We would love for you to join us over at the Art Nudge Blog and link your project inspired by one or more of this month's art prompts!  You might even win a prize! 

I am also celebrating this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers! A big congratulation to Darlene! 

I used her general layout but changed the theme. Instead of stamping down the side, I used patterned paper, but I placed my sentiment in the same spot as her card. 

I hope you feel inspired and I would love to see your beautiful creations at one or both of the challenges I highlighted today!  

Thanks for stopping by!
