Snowman in Pink - Handmade Christmas

 Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a sweet pink Christmas snowman card featuring the adorable Love Grows stamp set from the new SweetMissDaisy Designs release. I’m also celebrating this week’s Featured Stamper at Splitcoaststampers!

For my Featured Stamper inspiration, I selected Cathy’s darling snowman card. I kept the same basic theme and even colored our snowmen’s scarves in the same color. From there, I made a few changes of my own. Cathy used three die-cut snowflakes, while I used one large snowflake. I also added a banner, but placed mine lower on the card and turned it in the opposite direction.

Cathy, congratulations on being our Featured Stamper this week! Your gallery is wonderful, and I had so much fun choosing your card for my inspiration!

Pretty in Pink

I decided to give my snowman card a cheerful twist with lots of pretty pink. The pink appears in the snowman’s hat, scarf and gloves, as well as in the patterned paper background.

For the background, I used a fun diagonal block die with paper from the Quilted Grunge Brights paper pack by SweetMissDaisy Designs. I love how the diagonal design adds movement while the bright pink tones give the card a playful Christmas feel.

I stamped the snowman holding his Christmas tree and placed him on a postage stamp die-cut panel. A large die-cut snowflake is tucked behind the sentiment banner in the lower portion of the card. The combination of the snowflake, banner and postage stamp panel gives the design several fun layers without making it feel too busy.

The Love Grows stamp set is part of the new September release from SweetMissDaisy Designs, and it's available now in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop.

Card making is such a wonderful way to share creativity while sending something meaningful and handmade. It’s also great fun to build the Christmas card stash! I hope today’s card inspires you to spend some pleasant moments creating.

Merry & Bright Snowman Christmas Card

 Hello everyone!

I'm still having so much fun creating with the new SweetMissDaisy Designs release! Today I'm featuring the darling Send You a Blizzard stamp set for my Christmas card. I'm also joining the July Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge, which is always a wonderful excuse to add another handmade Christmas card to my holiday stash.

Process

I began with a top-folding A2 card base before selecting a 3¼" x 5½" piece of Rustic Winter patterned paper from SweetMissDaisy Designs for the background. The beautiful dark green plaid with hints of deep maroon immediately inspired my color palette for the entire card.

To coordinate with the paper, I die-cut an Oval Tab from deep maroon cardstock. I then stamped the adorable snowman from the Send You a Blizzard stamp set onto a 4" x 3¼" piece of white cardstock.

One of my favorite details is the little Christmas tree decorated with shimmering golden stars. They add such a festive touch! I colored the snowman's hat, scarf, and gloves in rich shades of maroon to coordinate with the patterned paper and oval tab, tying everything together beautifully.

To finish the design, I tucked three delicate die-cut snowflakes beneath the image panel for extra texture and dimension. The sentiment, "Hope Your Days Are Merry and Bright," is popped up with foam adhesive to create a cheerful focal point.

If you'd like to recreate this card, you'll find the Send You a Blizzard stamp set, Rustic Winter patterned paper, and many more coordinating products in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Shop.

Chillin' at the F4ALL Challenge

Hello friends!

We're "chillin'" at the Free For All Challenge on Splitcoaststampers this week, and I couldn't resist pulling out this adorable snowman and chicken image from SweetMissDaisy Designs! This whimsical winter scene was the perfect fit for the challenge and brought a bright burst of color to my crafting table.

To create the background, I layered patterned paper panels from the Lavender Field and Home Paper Packs by SweetMissDaisy Designs. The rich purples and warm golden tones in the papers inspired the color palette for the entire card.

Next, I stamped the snowman image from the Happy Cluckin' Winter stamp set onto a stitched panel and colored it with markers. I gave the snowman a brilliant purple hat and scarf to coordinate with the background papers and added a few stamped snowflakes in the sky for extra winter charm.

To enhance the playful chicken theme, I stamped the extra chicken included in the set, colored him to match the scene, and popped him up near the packages. I also die-cut a decorative fence and tucked it behind the image panel, adding both dimension and a fun farm-inspired touch.

The finishing touch was the "Happy Cluckin' Winter" sentiment, which perfectly captures the lighthearted feel of this card. The combination of bright colors, snowy details, and whimsical characters makes this a cheerful winter card that's sure to chase away the winter blues.

If you'd like to recreate this look, you can find the stamps and papers I used in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Shop. Of course, this design can easily be adapted using your favorite winter stamps, patterned papers, and coloring techniques. Handmade cards are such a wonderful way to share creativity while sending something meaningful to friends and family.

I hope this project inspires you to create your own chillin' winter cards!

Snow Time in Blue and Pink

Hello! It's June 1st, and that means it's time for a brand-new Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge! There is something so satisfying about adding a few holiday cards to the stash during the warmer months. Future me is always grateful when December arrives and I already have a collection of handmade cards ready to mail.

For today's card, I combined two adorable SweetMissDaisy Designs snowman stamp sets to create a soft pastel winter scene filled with snowy charm.

I began by selecting a piece of light blue cardstock and embossing it with a snowflake embossing folder. To highlight the texture, I rolled Moonlight White ink over the raised snowflakes using a brayer. The effect is subtle but beautiful, creating gentle variations in color that give the background extra dimension without overpowering the design.

Next, I stamped the Watering Can Snowman image onto a die-cut panel and colored his hat, scarf, gloves, and sweater in soft pink tones. I love how the pink accents create a whimsical winter feel that is a little different from traditional holiday colors.

To continue the snowy theme, I added three die-cut snowflakes and finished each one with a blue gem center for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment, "It's Snow Time," comes from the Snowman and Fence stamp set. I stamped it onto a die-cut tag and, instead of tying ribbon through the opening, added a coordinating blue gem for a clean and simple finishing touch.

The result is a soft pastel winter wonderland that feels cheerful, cozy, and perfect for a Christmas card.

If you'd like to recreate this look, you can find the stamps and papers I used over at the SweetMissDaisy Designs Shop. You can easily adapt this handmade card design using your favorite stamps, embossing folders, and coloring techniques. Card making is a wonderful way to share creativity while sending something meaningful and handmade. I hope this project inspires you to build your holiday stash before the winter rush!

Clean & Cozy Handmade Snowman Christmas Card

Hello friends,

Today I’m sharing a handmade snowman Christmas card created for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge—and I’m still a little in disbelief that we’re already in May! It feels like April just slipped right past without warning.

For this project, I kept things clean and classic with plenty of white space to let the focal image shine. I started by die-cutting a square layer and stamping the Snowman with Fence image from SweetMissDaisy Designs. The sweet snowman came to life with a pop of Christmas red on his scarf and hat band—simple coloring that instantly gives a festive feel.

To add a touch of seasonal detail, I die-cut two holly branches from green patterned paper in the Fresh Worn Dots paper pack from SweetMissDaisy Designs and tucked them into the upper corner of the design. Three red sequins finish the look, acting as bright little berries where the branches meet.

I popped up the snowman panel with foam adhesive and placed it toward the top of the card base, keeping the layout airy and balanced. Below the image, I stamped the sentiment “Our friendship is the best thing in any season” directly onto the card base. The result is a wintery, heartfelt design with a clean and cozy feel.

This layout is easy to customize—simply swap in your favorite stamps, papers, or color palette to make it your own. Cardmaking is such a meaningful way to share creativity and connection, especially during the holiday season.

If you’d like to recreate this look, you can find the stamps and papers I used over at the SweetMissDaisy Designs shop.

And if you enjoyed this card, you might also like my Snowman in Lavender and Watering Can Snowman designs. 

I hope this inspires you to get a head start on your handmade Christmas cards!

Snowman in Lavender - Handmade Card

 Hello friends,

Today I’m sharing a cozy winter card featuring a sweet snowman from SweetMissDaisy Designs—this time with a soft lavender twist. There’s something so calming about bringing gentle, unexpected color into winter designs, and lavender adds just the right touch of warmth to an otherwise snowy scene.

For this card, I am participating in the Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper challenge. I chose a beautiful snowman design by Heather and reimagined it with a lavender theme, echoing her scarf while adding my own vintage-style layers.

I started with a patterned background from the Spring Paper Pack by SweetMissDaisy Designs. The soft tones worked perfectly to support the winter theme while keeping everything light and airy. I stamped the Snowman and Fence image onto a square panel and colored his scarf and hatband in lavender for a gentle pop of color.

To build dimension and texture, I stamped the Received Ledger and trimmed it down as a layer behind the snowman. I tucked die cut snowflakes behind the focal panel for a bit of snowy detail and movement.

For that layered vintage feel, I added the “No. 587” element from the Daisy Bouquet set and framed it using a frame from Rooster & Sunflowers. Mixing stamp sets like this is one of my favorite ways to create something unique and full of character.

The sentiment, “May peace and happiness surround you, today and always,” is placed along the bottom of the card. I lightly distressed the framed number, sentiment, and ledger using distress inks to tie everything together in a soft, vintage lavender palette.

As a finishing touch, I added a spiral clip tied with a lavender ribbon for a bit of texture and charm.

If you’d like to recreate this look, you can find the stamps, papers, and coordinating elements I used over at the SweetMissDaisy Designs shop—there are so many beautiful options to mix, match, and make your own.

You can easily adapt this handmade card design using your favorite stamps, patterned papers, and coloring techniques for any season. Card making is such a meaningful way to share creativity while sending something heartfelt and handmade.

I love getting a jump on winter cards—do you?

I hope this project inspires you to create something special today.

Sledding Into Christmas Cheer - Handmade Snowman Card

 Dashing Through the Snow – A Fun Handmade Snowman Christmas Card

Hello, crafty friends! Today I’m sharing a cheerful handmade Christmas card created for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenge. There’s just something magical about snowmen and snowy scenes that instantly brings that cozy holiday feeling to life!

For this card, I used the Dashing Snowman set by SweetMissDaisy Designs to create a playful winter scene full of movement and charm.

Process

I started with a stitched layer and stamped a scattering of snowflakes to build a soft, snowy background. Next, I added a slotted panel for extra interest and dimension, filling the openings with three sweet trees from the set along with a few die-cut snowflakes.

The real star of the show is the adorable snowman, happily sledding down a hill! To emphasize that sense of motion, I used a circle die along with the partial die-cutting technique. This allowed parts of his scarf and hat to extend beyond the circle, giving the illusion that they’re blowing in the winter wind—such a fun detail that really brings the scene to life.

To finish the card, I added “25” along with a wax seal-style outline as a festive nod to Christmas Day.

Make It Your Own

One of my favorite things about this design is how easy it is to adapt. You can recreate this layout using your favorite stamps, ephemera, patterned papers, or die cuts for any season—just swap out the images and colors!

Card making is such a meaningful way to share creativity and send a little handmade kindness. I hope this project inspires you to get a head start on your handmade Christmas cards this year!

Spring Cheer & Winter Smiles: Four Cards to Brighten Your Day

Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to share four handmade cards today for the SweetMissDaisy Designs February Release, celebrating the changing seasons from spring into winter.  We’ll tiptoe into spring with the first three cards and finish things off with a cheerful winter scene.  

First up is the sweetest little chick pulling a cart loaded with one ginormous Easter egg. I paired this darling image with a soft lavender pattern from the Ditsy Floral Paper Pack for a gentle spring feel. Behind the image, I stamped the Penelope’s Garden text background on white cardstock and trimmed it down into a smaller layer. This stamp is a personal favorite; it provides a charming book-paper aesthetic, eliminating the need to search for vintage pages, and you can stamp it in any hue to coordinate with your project. I finished the card with a fun sentiment from the Hey Chickie set: Hope you have an Egg-ceptional Easter.

(participating in the IC1053 challenge at SCS)

Next is a birthday card featuring the most adorable chipmunk from the Chippy stamp set. I stamped him on an arch and used the out-of-the-box (partial die-cutting) technique so the tip of his fluffy tail could hang right over the edge of the arch for a playful touch. A bold red arch behind the image really makes it pop. I added one of the sweet butterflies near the daffodil — I love having little extras like butterflies to build a scene. The background is another beautiful Ditsy Florals pattern layered on a red card base, and a simple happy birthday sentiment completes the card!

(participating in the SCS VSN - JAN26VSNA - back to basics)

My third card brings us right back to spring with another darling chick, from the Two Chicks set, this one carrying a pink flower. So sweet! I used a soft blue floral from the Ditsy Florals Paper Pack for the background, then layered in the Penelope’s Garden text background once again. The image sits front and center, with a scalloped circle sentiment reading Blessings to You for a gentle finishing touch. Pure spring cuteness.

Today's cards use products from the SweetMissDaisy Designs February Release, which includes charming spring images, a versatile background stamp, beautiful spring papers, and a playful snowman.

As promised, we’re heading back to winter for the final card. This cheerful, Dashing Snowman is full of personality and color! I built the background with layered strips: a white stitched panel, a wide strip from the Winter Blues Paper Pack, a narrower strip stamped with the Penelope’s Garden text background, and a petite banner from the Spring Mini Gingham Paper Pack. The snowman, stamped on a stitched square and colored in rich purples, zooms downhill on a bright red sled. The sentiment Oh What Fun! says it all. A few die-cut snowflakes with sequin centers add a festive finishing sparkle.

Back to Basics with a Bright Twist

Hello everyone!

This week’s Free 4 All Challenge at Splitcoaststampers takes us right back to basics — black and white, with just one pop of color allowed. Simple rules, big impact… and honestly, this kind of challenge is one of my favorites.

For my card, I started with the Linked background stamp by SweetMissDaisy Designs, stamping it in rich black ink on crisp white cardstock. The contrast is striking, and those detailed lines really shine when you let them do all the talking.

Next, I die cut a bold black arch and layered it with a smaller white arch to frame the focal image. Inside that white arch, I stamped the sweet Snow Couple. To extend the scene, I flipped the stamp at the top to continue the snowy sky — such a fun little trick that adds depth without extra supplies.

I added a few die cut snowflakes to the top and lower corner for texture and movement. For my one allowed pop of color, I chose sunny yellow, coloring the scarves, hats, gloves, stars, and broom. Since Mr. Snowman is holding a star wreath, sticking with one cheerful color felt both intentional and cohesive.

The sentiment ties it all together perfectly:

“Goodbye winter, hello sunshine.”

That pop of yellow truly feels like a hint of spring peeking through the cold.

I’m also entering this card into this month’s Fan Club Christmas Challenge, as it fits the prompt beautifully.

New Year, New Cuteness with SweetMissDaisy Designs

New Year, Brand New SweetMissDaisy Designs Release!

There’s nothing like starting the year with fresh creativity, and the January SweetMissDaisy Designs release is full of charm, color, and cozy goodness. The release includes two absolutely adorable image sets, a gorgeously designed background stamp, and three colorful paper packs that mix and match beautifully.

🦨 Little Stinker

First up is the darling Little Stinker skunk set—such a cutie! This sweet skunk comes bearing flowers and works perfectly for birthdays, get-well cards, love notes, and so much more. With 12 included sentiments, this set is one you’ll reach for again and again.

For this card, I stamped the Linked background stamp using yellow and Wild Honey inks, then die-cut it to fill more than half of the card base for a bright and cheerful foundation. The sentiment “Scent with Love” adds a playful finishing touch, and a few yellow enamel dots bring everything together. Sweet… with just a hint of fragrance! 😉

❄️ Snow Couple

Next is the heart-melting Snow Couple—seriously, how can you not smile at them? I stamped the couple inside an arch, then masked the image and stamped additional snowflakes above to complete the snowy sky.

The background paper looks like a cozy quilt and comes from the Filled with Love paper pack. This pack is full of gorgeous patterns that add warmth and texture without overpowering the focal image. It’s the perfect backdrop for winter scenes and heartfelt cards.

Playing along with the WT1086 Challenge at SCS: New Beginnings - The papers, stamp and snowflake die are all new!

🌸 Coral Meadow Paper Pack

To wrap things up, I created a card designed to really show off the Coral Meadow paper pack. The floral paper is simply stunning, so I framed it inside a jumbo banner to let it shine.

I added the sentiment “Bunches of Love” from the Little Stinker set, tying this project back to the release in a fun and cohesive way. A small bow at the bottom of the banner finishes the design with a sweet detail.

Inspired by the Inspiration Challenge at SCS.

Snowman Season in Pink

 If you follow me, you won’t be surprised to see a generous dose of pink on today’s card—it’s definitely my happy color! This week I’m playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Free 4 All Challenge, where the theme is Favorite Color, and this pink winter wonderland felt just right.

I began by inking the Spiral Snowfall background stamp in pink, then cut it down using a large postage stamp die. I love how the soft snowfall paired with the postage edges creates instant texture and interest.

The star of the card is the darling Snowman with Wreath from SweetMissDaisy Designs. I’ve had so much fun coloring this image throughout the month, and this version features a cozy mix of pinks and cranberry tones for a festive yet playful feel.

Ever since we created collage-style cards for a previous Free 4 All Challenge, I’ve been completely enamored with postage collage designs. For this card, I layered in stamps from Correspondence Bits, Winter Scene, and Holly Branch, all from SweetMissDaisy Designs, to build a whimsical, collected look.

To finish things off, I added die-cut snowflakes and a scattering of sequins for just the right amount of sparkle. This cheerful pink palette makes winter feel extra warm and joyful!

Let It Snow… Twice! Two Challenge Cards Featuring the SweetMissDaisy Snowman

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Today I’m sharing a pair of cozy winter cards featuring the fantastic snowman from Decorate the Tree by SweetMissDaisy Designs—and he’s dressed up two different ways for two different challenges. I had so much fun giving him a fresh personality for each scene.

 Art Nudge 1225A: Red, White & Gold Magic

For the first challenge, I dressed our happy snowman in red, white, and gold for the Art Nudge 1225A prompt. 

I started by stamping the gorgeous Decorative Snowflake Background and cutting it with a postage-stamp-style die to create a layered panel. To play up the postcard feel, I stamped a few playful postmarks using the Winter Scene stamp set. The “25” and sentiment come from Holly Branch, and they tuck perfectly into the collage.

A scattering of sparkly snowflake die cuts and sequins finishes the card with a festive, almost storybook look. It feels like a holiday postcard brought to life!

The Art Nudge Challenge is such fun.  Head over to the blog and enter your project for a chance to win!

 Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge

Next up, I’m playing along with today’s Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers, featuring Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Pool Party.

Pumpkin Pie takes the lead in my snowy scene, with Real Red brightening his coat and hat. Pool Party makes a soft cameo in the background — just enough to cool the palette without stealing attention.

I placed this handsome fellow on a Rustic Winter patterned background and added another flurry of die-cut snowflakes for texture and movement. All the papers and stamps are from SweetMissDaisy Designs.

Meowentine Magic + A Vintage Christmas Bonus

Hello friends! Friday was Release Day over at Pajama Crafter Stamps, and I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate this adorable Meowentine collection with you! There is still time to head over to the fun Instagram hop filled with sweet projects, inspiring ideas, and—of course—giveaways. You won’t want to miss a single stop.

👉 Come begin the hop on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/bowdangel/

For today’s project, I created a super cute Double Triangle Gift Card Pocket card—a playful, interactive fold that feels like a tiny surprise waiting to happen. It’s perfect for Valentine gifting or anytime you want to tuck a treat inside.

Here’s how you can make one too:

1. Start with your base.

Score a full sheet of 8 ½" x 11" cardstock at 5 ½".

2. Rotate to portrait and score again at 4 ¼".

3. Cut on the diagonal.

Place the cardstock in your trimmer, line up corner to opposite corner, and cut. Now you’ll have two large triangle card bases.

4. Fold along both score lines using a bone folder for crisp, clean edges.

5. Add patterned paper.

Cut a piece at 5 ½" x 4 ¼", trim on the diagonal, then fit each triangle onto your folded sections and adhere.  Inside, I added a little pocket and stamped another image and sentiment from the Meowentine set to carry the theme throughout. It turns the whole card into a fun, coordinated gift card holder!

I decorated the triangular front with a sweet piece of The Cat’s Meow patterned paper — it’s purrfectly charming and couldn’t fit the theme better!

For the focal panel, I used the darling kitty and sentiment from the Meowentine Stamp Set. That set is going to be well-loved in my craft room… I can already tell! 😊

And because I couldn’t resist making one more project for Release Day…

---

✨ Bonus Project: Vintage Christmas Panel

For my second card, I reached for one of the stunning Vintage Christmas card panels. I die cut the panel with pretty faux-stitched edges to give it a warm, finished look. At the top, I added a large snowflake and layered an inner circle featuring the sentiment “Happy Christmas” from the Woodland Christmas Eve stamp set. Simple and elegant—but full of holiday charm!

Season's Tweetings!

For my card, I’m featuring the darling Snowman with Birds stamp set by SweetMissDaisy Designs partnered with Serendipity Stamps. My cheerful snowman sits on a softly blended highlight of snow, surrounded by happy cardinals, bluebirds, and sparrows. He’s bundled up in a bright red jacket and hat—perfectly cozy for a day in the snow!  I made the background layer with the Sketchy Plaid background stamp.  Making your own background provides the fun of perfectly coordinating colors! 

This snowperson is such fun to color. I fussy cut the little banner and added the sweet sentiment “Season’s Tweetings”—I just love that the tiny bird is flying it! What a joyful detail.

Sunflowers to Snowmen - October SweetMissDaisy Release

 SweetMissDaisy October Release Day – 3 Cards to Share!

Hello friends, and welcome to the October SweetMissDaisy Designs Release Day!

This month’s release is packed with fabulous new stamps, papers, and notepads that are sure to spark your creativity. I have three projects to share today, each featuring one of the beautiful new background stamps plus some sweet details from the coordinating sets.

🌻 Sunflower Tile – Be Still

For my first card, I pulled out my embossing powder. The Sunflower Tile background stamp transferred beautifully to cardstock — no patchy spots, just a crisp design! I heat embossed it in gold and then ink blended Wild Honey and a touch of Vintage Photo Distress Inks across the panel. For the sentiment, I used “Be Still” along with the sentiment frame from the Rooster & Sunflowers set. A little ribbon tucked behind the sentiment finishes the design.

 I love the shine and texture!

⛄ Snowman & Plaid

Next up is a fun take on the ever-popular postage stamp style. I inked the Sketchy Plaid background stamp in Peacock Feathers Distress Ink, cut it with the Postage Stamp die, then trimmed along the perforations to create individual “stamps.” I paired those with the sweetest snowman from the Just For You stamp set — perfect for both tags and cards. I filled the other postage areas with images from Rooster & Sunflowers, Correspondence Bits, and a few snowflakes from Just For You. A sentiment tag tied with red ribbon pulls it all together. Snow much fun!

🌲 Woodgrain Winter Tag

My last card features the fabulous Woodgrain background, stamped in brown on kraft and splattered with white paint for a snowy look. I added a die cut tag using patterned paper from the Winter Friends paper pack — such a sweet design with the little characters from Just For You! 

For the inside, I couldn’t resist adding a piece of the coordinating Winter Friends notepad for a surprise detail. Rustic, festive, and oh-so-cozy.

I’ll be sharing more projects all month long, but you don’t have to wait! Head over to the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop to see the entire October release, including stamp sets, paper packs, and notepads.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Scarecrows, Spooks, and Snowmen—Oh My!

 It’s Release Day at SweetMissDaisy Designs, and this one is hauntingly fangtastic! 🦇🎃

The new release includes three Halloween/harvest stamp sets, a sweet snowman set, and three gorgeous fall paper packs. You can peek at everything now in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy shop.

I have three cards to share today, each one inspired by a different challenge and a different set from the release:

🍂  Happy Harvest

This handsome scarecrow from the Happy Harvest set is a SweeetMissDaisy Designs/Serendipity Stamps Partnership! I gave him a warm plaid background from the Harvest Mini Gingham paper pack. Since the Splitcoaststampers F4A811 challenge is “Brown,” I colored his shirt in shades of brown and tucked the same tone into his pumpkins and hat. A bat and moon float above, and the golden ribbon with a pumpkin charm ties it all together. Inspired by #ArtNudge 925B + F4A811.

👻 Open if You Dare

Boo! This card features three of the four adorable Halloween faces from the Open if You Dare set. I stamped them on tags, tucked the tags into a slotted die cut, and added the “boo” sentiment on a round die cut. The background paper is from the Halloween Mini Gingham paper pack. Inspired by #ArtNudge 925A. These faces are too cute to spook!

❄️ Umbrella Snowman

Oh, how I love this snowlady! The Umbrella Snowman set (SweetMissDaisy Designs + Serendipity Stamps) was such fun to play with. She’s holding a bright red umbrella trimmed in gold. The set includes extra snow, so I scattered flakes around the scene for a wintery look. The golden plaid background paper is from the Harvest Mini Gingham paper pack.  Inspired by a set of ornaments in the SCS Inspiration Challenge today.

Each of these sets is just brimming with charm, and I can’t wait to see what you create with them, too. 💕
