Handmade Christmas - SweetMissDaisy Designs July Release

Hello everyone!

I am thrilled to share several projects featuring the July SweetMissDaisy Designs Release! This month's release includes a beautiful Buttons Background stamp, an elegant Santa set, an adorable Fresh Baked gingerbread baker set, and a charming snowman in the Send You A Blizzard set. These delightful winter stamps arrive just in time to help you get a head start on your Christmas card stash!

Fresh Baked Christmas Card and Tag

My first project features the adorable Fresh Baked stamp set.

To begin, I stamped the Buttons Background stamp and die-cut it into a rectangle. Next, I die-cut a coordinating piece of patterned paper from the Winter Friends Paper Pack to the same size. I slightly tilted the two layers so the button pattern peeks out from each corner, adding a fun touch of interest.

After coloring the sweet gingerbread baker, I fussy cut her and popped her up with foam adhesive. The sentiment, "Made with Love and Sprinkles of Joy," perfectly captures the cozy baking theme.

For an extra playful detail, I added a speech bubble above the baker and stamped the tiny gingerbread cookie, candy cane, and Christmas tree images inside it—as if she were dreaming about all the delicious Christmas cookies she's about to bake!

To coordinate with the card, I also created a matching gift tag. I used the same patterned paper from the Winter Friends Paper Pack for the tag topper, then stamped the festive Christmas basket image. I colored it using the same sea foam green, gingerbread brown, and red color palette to tie everything together before adding the "Fresh Baked" sentiment.

This sweet set would be perfect for creating tags to accompany homemade Christmas treats and baked gifts during the holiday season.

Elegant Santa Christmas Card

My final project showcases the elegant Santa stamp set.

I started with patterned paper from the Winter Blues Paper Pack for the background before stamping Santa onto a stitched rectangle. The graceful illustration is gorgeous on its own, so I kept the design fairly clean to let him remain the focal point.

Above Santa, I stamped the lovely holly accent included in the set. Small white dots scattered across the holly, bow, and greenery add a little snowy sparkle and whimsical charm. I finished the card with the sentiment "Believe in Magic," which complements the elegant design beautifully.

If you'd like to recreate these cards, you can find all the new stamps and the papers I used in the SweetMissDaisy Designs Shop. The entire July Release is available now!

Pawsitively Sunny Summer Mini Pocket Card

 Hello friends!

Today I am sharing a fun Mini Pocket Tip Card created for the Splitcoaststampers F4ALL Beach Challenge. The beautiful beach-themed colors and seaside prompt from the #ArtNudge 626C Challenge also inspired me. The bright, cheerful palette is the perfect match for this adorable summer design!

To create the pocket card base, I started with a double-sided 6x6 sheet of Citrus patterned paper from SweetMissDaisy Designs. I scored the paper in half at 3 inches and folded it. Next, I scored the bottom portion at 2 inches and cut along the center fold line up to the 2-inch score line, creating pockets on both the inside and outside of the card.

For the front, I decided to let the folded section become part of the design rather than a pocket. I simply glued the 2-inch flap closed and used it as a decorative element. I die-cut a scalloped circle from Citrus patterned paper and layered it with a smaller white cardstock circle. On the white layer, I stamped the darling beach-going kitty from the Beachside stamp set and colored her using the bright summer colors from the ArtNudge inspiration photo.

The sentiment, "Wishing you a Pawsitively Sunny Summer Day," was popped up with dimensional adhesive, and I tucked a bit of gold thread behind it for extra sparkle and texture.

Inside the card, I rounded the corners of the 2-inch flap and folded it upward, gluing the edges to create a functional pocket. This little pocket is perfect for holding a gift card, a thank-you note, cash, or even a small surprise. Here

, I designed it to hold "tip money" for a server. I think it would make the sweetest summer thank-you gift! I added the sentiment "Just a Note to Say Thanks" to the pocket, using a sentiment from the adorable Ricky Raccoon stamp set.

One of my favorite things about this project is how versatile the design is. You can easily customize it with different stamps, patterned papers, and color combinations to suit any occasion. Handmade pocket cards are a wonderful way to share creativity while giving something thoughtful and practical at the same time.

If you'd like to recreate this project, you'll find the stamps and papers I used at SweetMissDaisy Designs. I hope this card inspires you to create your own pocket cards for gift giving, thank-you gifts, and special occasions.

Golden Garden Greetings - Handmade Cards

 Warm Flower Garden Palette – SweetMissDaisy Designs April Release

Hello and welcome to the SweetMissDaisy Designs April Release! This month is overflowing with beautiful florals, charming seed packets, and even a snowman tucked into the mix—such a fun and whimsical collection.

Today I’m sharing a trio of cards inspired by summer’s golden rays and a warm flower garden palette filled with ochre, white, purple, blue, and green.

---

🌼 Card One – Golden Daisy Bouquet

To begin, I’m featuring the stunning Daisy Bouquet stamp set. I paired it with a piece of the gorgeous Daisies patterned paper for the background, which instantly sets that soft summer tone.

I cut out a stitched layer to show off the bouquet, and then I added a cute little bee to give it some life and movement. To keep the design clean and balanced, the sentiment is stamped right onto the panel.

To finish, I scattered a few golden gems around the image and sentiment—just enough sparkle to catch the light without overwhelming the softness of the card.

The inside features a piece of coordinating Daisy and Bee notepad paper by SweetMissDaisy Designs.

---

🌞 Card Two – Sunshine Postage Collage

This next card is a golden ray of sunshine and one of my favorites from today’s projects.

One of the things I love most about SweetMissDaisy Designs is how beautifully the sets mix and match. For this card, I combined elements from multiple sets to create a layered postage collage look.

I used the Sow With Love set for the 5¢ image and paired it with a bee from the Jar and Flowers set, placing them on a square postage-style die-cut. I added cancellation marks for that authentic postal feel and layered in stamped text from Penelope’s Garden, tearing the edges and distressing them with tea dye ink for a vintage touch.

The background and tag come from the Daisies paper pack, and I tucked a delicate paper doily behind the tag for added softness. A few strips of coordinating washi tape bring in extra color and texture behind the sentiment, “You Brighten My Day.”

To finish the tag, I added a beautiful sunflower image from the Jar and Flowers stamp set, tying everything together in those rich golden yellows and soft teal tones.

---

🌸 Card Three – Seed Packet Garden Collage

For my final card, I leaned fully into the collage style using the Sow With Love seed packet set.

The background again features the Daisies paper, layered with two pieces of lace—one at the top and one near the bottom—for a soft, vintage feel.

I stamped and customized two seed packets with flowers, postage elements, and decorative details. This set is incredibly fun because there are so many ways to personalize each packet.

To finish, I added a small “Happy Birthday” tag and a metal heart embellishment for a sweet, heartfelt touch.

These designs are inspired by beautiful color challenges and art prompts, but they can easily be adapted using your own favorite supplies and techniques.

Two Chicks, Two Styles: Easter Card Inspiration

 Handmade Easter Cards with Sweet Chicks | SweetMissDaisy Designs

With Easter weekend upon us, I’m sharing two cheerful handmade cards featuring the sweetest little chicks from SweetMissDaisy Designs. These playful designs overflow with spring colors, soft textures, and just the right touch of whimsy.

Even more excitement—tomorrow the design team will be sharing brand-new inspiration on Instagram for the April Release, so be sure to keep an eye out!

For my first card, I couldn’t resist this darling chick inspecting a colorful Easter egg from the Two Chicks stamp set. I paired the image with a panel from the beautiful Ditsy Florals paper pack, trimming it to 3" x 5 1/2" for a bold, eye-catching background. To frame the image, I added a stitched square die-cut, which fits the chick and egg perfectly and gives the design a clean focal point.

To finish the card, I added a “Happy Easter” sentiment from the same stamp set. I chose rich colors for the chick and egg to reflect the lively tones in the floral paper—everything ties together in such a happy, cohesive way.

For my second card, I shifted to a softer, more delicate color palette using the chick and wagon from the Hey Chickie stamp set. I layered a piece of green gingham from the Spring Mini Gingham paper pack with lavender cardstock for a gentle spring feel.

The image fits beautifully inside an octagon die cut, which adds a unique shape and draws the eye right to the focal point. I topped the design with a whimsical bow for a sweet finishing touch. Beneath the image, I layered the sentiment along with a couple of pink heart-shaped enamel dots—simple details that add just the right amount of charm.

Both cards highlight how easy it is to create completely fresh looks using similar themes—just by changing your color palette and patterns.

These darling stamp sets are available now at SweetMissDaisy Designs, and they’re perfect for Easter and beyond. You can easily adapt these designs for any season by switching up your papers, colors, and sentiments.

Card-making is such a meaningful way to share creativity and send a little handmade kindness. I hope these projects inspire you to pull out your supplies and create something special this season.

Let Your Friendship Bloom – Handmade Floral Card

Hello friends!

Today I’m playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Spring Flowers Free 4 All Challenge to make a handmade floral friendship card. It felt like the perfect excuse to pull out some of my favorite patterned papers and create a soft, cheerful spring card.

Nothing says spring quite like florals, so I started with a lovely sheet from the Ditsy Floral patterned paper collection by SweetMissDaisy Designs. The coral and indigo flowers have such a fresh, happy feel. I trimmed a 4¼ inch strip of the floral paper to anchor the design.

To add a bit of contrast and structure, I layered a 1¼-inch strip of coordinating Spring Mini Gingham paper along the bottom edge. These two patterns complement each other beautifully while still letting the floral design shine.

To create a seamless background panel, I glued the patterned papers onto a piece of thin typing paper and then die cut the entire piece with a stitched rectangle die. This simple trick keeps the layers perfectly aligned and gives the card front a clean, polished look.

For the focal point, I chose a sweet sentiment from the Chippy stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs. To add a bit of whimsy, I stamped a butterfly beside the sentiment.

If you saw my earlier Chippy card featuring the Penelope’s Garden text stamp, you may remember that butterfly making an appearance there as well. I love how a tiny butterfly can bring a little movement and life to a design.

To make the sentiment feel a little more special, I used an oval die with the partial die-cutting technique. After stamping the butterfly, I carefully trimmed around the upper wing and slid the die underneath that section so the wing sits just outside the oval frame. The result is a floating butterfly wing that adds dimension and a playful detail to the card.

Little touches like that are such a fun way to make a simple card design feel unique.

If you love working with patterned papers, you might also enjoy the spring cards I shared in my earlier SweetMissDaisy release post, where I used several other beautiful floral patterns. Also! The SweetMissDaisy March Release goes live tomorrow, Saturday, March 7th, so stop back by or visit Instagram!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to pull out your favorite floral papers and create something bright and cheerful.

Chippy in the Garden

 Hello, sweet friends!

I’m featuring the darling chipmunk from the Chippy stamp set on my handmade card today, and oh my goodness… this little cutie completely stole my heart.

This card is entered in the Splitcoaststampers Free for All Challenge theme of pink flowers and the #ArtNudge 0226C prompt featuring an adorable chipmunk. Talk about perfect timing!

To begin, I stamped Penelope’s Garden onto sturdy cardstock. I absolutely love this text background stamp — it’s so versatile, and the best part is I never have to hunt down book paper or patterned text paper again. It gives that lovely vintage feel while still being strong enough to handle coloring.

Next, I stamped sweet Chippy from SweetMissDaisy Designs right over the text background. I actually showcased Chippy along with three other new SweetMissDaisy Designs releases a few weeks ago if you’d like to peek back at those — but I have to say, stamping Chippy over text gives such a beautifully distinct look from my earlier card.

I’ve admired this technique for a long time, and this was my very first time trying it… and I am officially hooked!

One thing I especially love about using a text stamp instead of thin book paper is the durability. This cardstock holds up wonderfully to markers, whereas delicate book pages work better with pencils.

For the focal point, I colored the daffodil a bright, cheerful pink to fit the Pink Flowers F4All Challenge theme. To build out the garden feel, I layered everything onto a pretty background from the Ditsy Florals paper pack by SweetMissDaisy Designs. The darker floral pattern paired with those happy pink blooms really brings the whole scene to life.

To finish things off, I added three small banner strips from the Ditsy Florals paper at the top of the panel to tie everything together.

I’m also linking this up to the Art Nudge 0226 Challenge! Art Nudge is open to everyone and welcomes many forms of art — just use the prompt as your starting point. Snap a photo of your project and link it up on the Art Nudge blog for a chance to win!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Your visits always make my day! 💗

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.

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.

Feel Better Soon with Little Stinker

 Hello everyone!

This week I’m playing along with the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoaststampers, and I had so much fun letting a simple color palette guide my design.

The inspiration, Black and Wite Tiles decoupage paper,  immediately made me think of the Linked background stamp by SweetMissDaisy Designs. I absolutely love how this background looks stamped in black ink on white cardstock — it’s bold, graphic, and does all the heavy lifting without needing anything extra.

For the focal point, I stamped the adorable Little Stinker skunk onto a white circle, then layered it over a scalloped red circle to bring in that pop of color. I colored the bouquet Little Stinker is holding in red and added a few red sequins to the blooms for just a touch of shine and dimension.

The sentiment made me smile — “Being sick stinks… feel better soon.” It pairs perfectly with this sweet skunk and turns the card into a lighthearted way to send encouragement.

This card proves once again that black, white, and one bold color can be such a striking combination.

And good news — Little Stinker is back in stock at  Sweetmissdaisy.etsy.com! The shop is fully restocked, so if you’ve been waiting on something, now is the perfect time to check it out.

Woot Dee Doodle Doo!

Woot Dee Doodle Doo!

I’m celebrating this week’s Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper, TeriJ, and her absolutely lovely gallery! One card in particular—her Rainbow of Flowers—jumped out at me immediately. The way the lower portion of her card is divided into bright, cheerful sections reminded me so much of the Bright Candles Paper Pack by SweetMissDaisy Designs.

I leaned fully into that inspiration and let the colorful patterned paper take center stage. Sometimes the best design choice is simply stepping back and letting great paper shine! To finish things off, I added sentiments from the Woot Dee Doodle Doo stamp set—“Woot Dee Doodle Doo” and “have the best day ever”—along with a few enamel dots for a little extra polish.

This was such a fun card to create, and a joyful way to be inspired by Teri’s work. Be sure to stop by SweetMissDaisy.etsy.com for these products and so much more!

 

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.

Candlelight Christmas Magic

 Hello friends! It’s time for another Christmas Fan Club Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers!

I started with the lovely Winter Friends paper pack from SweetMissDaisy Designs, choosing a warm, pattern.  My background and focal panel are lightly distressed with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to give them that aged, fireside glow.

At the heart of my card is a chunky die-cut candle, softly inked with hints of yellow to mimic the gentle light of a flame. I added sprigs of Christmas greenery and a few ruby red gems tucked around the greenery plate for a touch of sparkle.

The finishing sentiment comes from the Season’s Tweetings stamp set by SweetMissDaisy Designs—the perfect message for a card that celebrates warmth, light, and holiday cheer.

We hope you will join us tomorrow for the SweetMissDaisy Designs November Release!  So many new goodies to inspire! Thanks so much for stopping by!  

A Critter’s Sweet Christmas

Hello, friends! I have such a sweet little card to share with you today, made with the adorable Just For You stamp set by SweetMissDaisy Designs. This one truly made me smile the whole time I was creating it — I love when a card feels like a little story unfolding.

My inspiration came from several places — #ArtNudge1025C, the Winter Friends Notepad, and the SCS IC1037 Challenge, which featured the cutest Christmas Critter air freshener! That tiny image sent me straight to my stamps, and before long, this penguin and reindeer were posing for their holiday “selfie.”

To carry the design inside, I tucked a small piece of notepad paper and echoed the same Peacock Feathers color I had ink blended on the card front. The matching tones really tie everything together. I added a few soft snowflakes around the selfie frame and a little garland for festive sparkle.

Finally, I stamped “Have a Sweet Christmas” right on the frame — simple, cheerful, and full of holiday warmth.

This card was such a joy to make, combining favorite colors, cute critters, and art challenges that always stretch my imagination. It reminds me how creative inspiration can come from the smallest things — even a fun air freshener!

You can find the Just For You stamp set, notepads, and other fabulous designs in the SweetMissDaisy Etsy shop.

And if you love a good creative challenge, be sure to join the Art Nudge Challenge for a chance to win a prize!

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing a bit of the season with me. Wishing you a cozy, joy-filled winter card-making season! 💙

 

Feathers, Sunflowers, and a bit of Courage

🐓  Hello friends!

I’m having such a delightful time creating with SweetMissDaisy Designs this month!

For today’s project, I made a top-fold card using a piece of patterned paper from the Sunflower Fields paper pack for the background. The Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die is one of my favorites—it offers so many possibilities for unique designs!

I die-cut a layer with the Postage Collage Die, then cut a large square to fill the bottom portion of the design. Onto that square, I stamped the rooster from the Rooster and Sunflowers stamp set by SweetMissDaisy Designs + Serendipity Stamps. On the die-cut frame itself, I added sunflowers in the upper rectangle and a few vintage-style numbers from the same set in the small right corner. I also stamped Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in the corresponding spaces for a fun scientific-illustration look.

To complete the design, I stamped the word “courage” from the same set. The rooster is colored in warm, vivid shades of yellow, orange, and red, while his body and tail feathers are rich blues—a striking contrast to the ochre sunflowers in the background.

#ArtNudge 1025A inspired this card 1025A. Be sure to check out the link party on the Art Nudge blog for a chance to win!

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. 💕

Garden Girl Friendship - Featured Stamper Challenge

 Hello friends!

Today I’m joining the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoaststampers. This week, we’re taking a stroll back to 2008—before I had even seen a stamp, let alone made a card! I chose a lovely card from Mary Jo Albright’s gallery as my inspiration.

Our cards both feature farm girls, share similar colors, and include flowers (though mine are quite different). I went with fewer layers, a different farm girl image, and skipped the ribbon.

For my card, I featured the Garden Girl stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs. The patterned paper comes from SweetMissDaisy’s Letters & Ledgers collection, which makes a beautiful background. I placed Garden Girl on a die-cut tag, then tucked delicate wildflowers behind her.

If you love classic, whimsical designs, be sure to stop by the SweetMissDaisy Designs shop for stamp sets, notepads, and gorgeous paper packs. And don’t miss the Fall September Release coming this Saturday, 9/6/25—it’s going to be wonderful!
