Countdown to Cool: Handmade Snowman Card

 Hello friends!

This week at Splitcoaststampers, our Free 4 All Challenge is Countdown to Cool! With temperatures soaring across the globe, I enjoy cooling down by making winter cards! There's something wonderfully refreshing about coloring cheerful snowmen, die-cutting snowflakes, and creating icy winter scenes while the summer sun is blazing outside.

Today I'm featuring the adorable Send You a Blizzard stamp set from SweetMissDaisy Designs. This charming snowman is holding a Christmas tree in one hand while catching a snowflake with the other, and he couldn't be any sweeter!

Process

I began by cutting a 2¾" x 5½" panel from the dark snowflake patterned paper in the Rustic Winter Paper Pack. To add a pop of festive color, I die-cut a contrasting red vertical border and layered it alongside the patterned paper.

Next, I stamped the adorable snowman onto a large postage stamp die-cut panel and colored him with alcohol markers. The snowy background and festive colors really make him stand out against the darker patterned paper.

To finish the card, I added the sentiment, "Hope Your Season Sparkles and Shines." It's the perfect finishing touch for this cheerful winter design.

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 is easy to adapt using your favorite snowman stamps, patterned papers, and coloring techniques.

Creating winter cards during the hottest months of the year is a fun way to beat the heat while building your Christmas card stash before the holiday rush arrives!

Do you enjoy making winter cards in the middle of summer? I'd love to hear about your favorite way to stay creative during these hot months, so be sure to leave me a comment!

If you'd like to see this same adorable snowman in a different color palette, be sure to check out my Merry & Bright Snowman card. It's another cozy winter design featuring this sweet snowman and his little tree, but with a completely different look!

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.

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!

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!

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.

Sparkle and Dazzle

I’m celebrating the first SCS Fan Club Christmas Challenge with the Snowman with Wreath stamp by SweetMissDaisy Designs, partnered with Serendipity Stamps. I paired the sweet snowman with two patterned papers from the Winter Blues paper pack by SweetMissDaisy Designs, using them in a clean, blocked background layout.

To add a bit more winter charm, I stamped snowflakes directly onto the image using coordinating elements from the same set. A few delicate die-cut snowflakes were tucked into two corners of the panel, and the sentiment “Celebrate the Season” finishes the design perfectly.

Lastly, sequins! I added them to the centers of the snowflakes and sprinkled a couple near the sentiment banner for just the right amount of sparkle.

We’d love for you to join us this year for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club Christmas Challenges. It’s never too early to start building our Christmas stash!

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!

Snowflakes, Farmhouse Giggles & Bright Birthday Wishes

Welcome to the SweetMissDaisy December Release Day! I had such a wonderful time playing with the gorgeous stamps and cheerful papers in this month’s collection, and I’m so excited to share four cards with you today. Each one brought its own little spark of joy while I was creating, from snowy scenes to farmhouse giggles to bright, happy birthday wishes. Let’s take a tour!


Snowman With Wreath in Blue

I started the release with a peaceful winter moment. I stamped the Decorative Snowflake background stamp in a soft blue to create my own patterned paper, then die-cut it with a sweet scalloped edge. The darling Snowman with Wreath takes center stage, trimmed out and grounded on a little strip of lace for a cozy, homespun touch. A sprinkling of blue enamel dots adds a bit of frosty shimmer to finish off this gentle, snow-kissed design.



I am also playing along with the Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge.

The Farmhouse Fancy Duck (Woot de Doodle Do)

This one made me laugh the whole time I was making it—I fully cracked myself up! I stamped the Chicken Wire background in gray, then created a decorative frame by die-cutting it in both gray and white. After stamping and coloring the birthday duck from Woot de Doodle Do, I placed him inside the frame… and then hung it on the chicken wire.

And honestly? I think this duck is delighted with its own portrait—fancy frame, chicken wire, and all. It’s the ultimate Farmhouse gallery wall moment! Still giggling.



Bright Birthday Wishes (Bright Candles Paper Pack)

 I dove headfirst into color for the next card! The Bright Candles Paper Pack is a true must-have if you love cheerful, happy card making. I layered several patterns for a lively background, then stamped the adorable group of feathered friends from Woot de Doodle Do. After die-cutting them with a rounded-square frame, I added a bow and a Birthday Wishes sentiment. It’s bright, bold, and bursting with celebration!

 Joy to the World Snowman

To wrap up the release, I returned to Christmas with a fresh snowfall feel. I stamped the Spiral Snowfall background in blue and layered a bright white panel on top. The sweet Snowman with Wreath makes another appearance—this time colored in cheerful reds and yellows. I added a “Joy to the World” sentiment and finished the card with die-cut snowflakes for a festive, sparkling finish.



Thank you so much for stopping by to celebrate the December Release with me!
Swing by the SweetMissDaisy Designs Etsy Shop to see the entire release—and so many more delightful designs waiting to inspire your next project.

Snowy Blues and a Peaceful Scene

 Today I’m sharing a little winter wonderland that I created for both the SCS Inspiration Challenge and the SCS Mix Challenge—and oh my goodness, this one was fun to build layer by layer!  This at least cools me off looking at it, we are experiencing unseasonably warm weather!  

I started by blending several blue Distress inks to create a chilly winter look. On the smooth and dreamy background, I stamped the fantastic Threads background stamp from SweetMissDaisy Designs right over the top. A little splattered water added that frosty, textured interest that always makes winter cards feel alive. After everything dried, I added splatters of white paint to mimic falling snow.

Next came the scene itself. I stamped the beautiful Winter Scene from SweetMissDaisy Designs and die-cut it using a retired die that features a removable scalloped edge—it’s such a lovely detail. I adhered the scalloped frame to the background and popped up the main image for depth and dimension. A few die-cut snowflakes and a sweet sentiment were the perfect finishing touches.

For the Mix Challenge, we are asked to identify the Composition Type. I think I ended up with a Tunnel composition, since the eye is drawn straight toward the center of the winter scene. At least… that’s the story I’m sticking to! 😄

The SCS Inspiration Challenge was based on a gorgeous blue snowman ornament, and I loved leaning into this cool, icy palette.

I am also joining the Art Nudge 1125C with my snow-covered buildings. You can join the Art Nudge Link party here: https://www.artnudge.com/2025/11/november-art-nudge-challenge-enter-here.html

Handmade Holiday Magic with SweetMissDaisy Designs

 

Hello and welcome to the November SweetMissDaisy Release—available now at SweetMissDaisy Designs on Etsy!
This month’s collection is overflowing with festive inspiration — five beautifully illustrated stamp sets, one charming paper pack, and a coordinating notepad that ties it all together. I had the best time creating four very different cards, each showcasing something special from the release.


🌸  Holly Branch Elegance

Let’s start with the timeless beauty of the Holly Branch stamp set. I wanted to echo the look of the coordinating notepad, so I softly brushed Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges to create a gently aged background.
Using images from both Holly Branch and the Mixed Media set, I built layers of texture with a light hand — I especially love the “25” and the distressed round postage image.
The sentiment banner is popped up with ribbon for a touch of dimension, and inside I tucked a piece of the Be Merry notepad for a coordinated finish.




❄️  Peaceful Winter Scene

The Winter Scene stamp set captures that serene, vintage look I love. It includes postmarks and mixed-media accents, but this time I let the main image shine on its own.
The background is patterned paper from the Rustic Winter Paper Pack, and I added the simple but powerful “Peace on Earth” sentiment. It’s such an elegant and tranquil combination.



🍬  Sweet Gingerbread Treats

Now for something a little playful! The Gingerbread Cookies set is pure delight. I stamped the gingerbread girl onto a tag, then paired it with a kraft background stamped with the Threads background stamp.
Pink and brown is one of my favorite cozy combos, so I added a “Thank You – You’re So Sweet” banner and a few pink peppermint die-cuts to finish. This one just makes me smile every time!



🎄 Mixed Media Christmas Collage

Finally, I had fun mixing and matching across sets for this collage-style card. The Mixed Media set takes the lead, but I also brought in Decorate the Tree for the sentiment, Holly Branch for the “25” and circle, and Winter Scene for the postmark image.
I used the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die to divide the space into blocks and filled each section with softly sponged red, green, and brown inks. A couple of bows finish the design.
Even though the Mixed Media set isn’t strictly holiday-themed, it layers beautifully for Christmas projects!



Each of these stamp sets and papers can be found at SweetMissDaisy Designs on Etsy—and I think you’ll fall in love with their mix of rustic charm and timeless elegance.
Happy stamping, and may your holidays be filled with creative joy!

Season's Tweetings!

Hello friends!
I’m getting ready for Season’s Tweetings! This week I’m joining the Christmas Kickstart Challenge, and the theme is Snow Alert! ❄️ Challenge #103 celebrates all things snowy — from flurries to full-on blizzards—and I couldn’t resist playing along.

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.



Make sure to stop by SweetMissDaisy Designs for this stamp set and so many other heartwarming designs. And don’t forget—Saturday is Release Day for SweetMissDaisy Designs, so keep an eye out for all the new goodies!

If you love snow-themed cards, you’ll want to visit the Christmas Kickstart Challenge to join the link party and soak up the amazing inspiration.

I am also playing along with the #ArtNudge 1025D prompt!

Happy crafting and Season’s Tweetings, friends! ❤️⛄🐦

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. 💕

Cozy Wishes, The Debut of a Sweet New Company, and Art Nudge Inspiration

Hello! Welcome to a special day on the blog. I am thrilled to be part of Sweet Miss Daisy's first Design Team! Seeing the new designs has been so exciting, and I know you will love them as much as I do. The January Release is now available at Sweet Miss Daisy Designs

 The stamp sets are the sweetest—the cards practically make themselves! I also adore the papers. If you’ve used Anna Wight’s patterned papers in the past, you’ll be happy to know these new paper packs are of the same high quality. The key difference is that they come as loose sheets, keeping them crisp since you don’t have to worry about bending them when tearing them out of a pad.

For my first card, I used the Cozy Wishes stamp set. Isn’t this snowman adorable? I love how Anna adds fun little extras to each set—in this case, an extra bit of holly. I fussy-cut the holly and added it as an embellishment to the sentiment. TI used a piece of patterned paper from the Worn Dots paper pack, and it’s absolutely spectacular!

Happy crafting, and I can’t wait to see what you create!




My next card features Charming. Isn’t he handsome? I created snowy hills for him and randomly stamped snowflakes in the sky. The background paper is from Mini Gingham. It was such a joy to work on this card!


 I’m also excited to announce a NEW Art Challenge with a chance to win a prize! This challenge first debuted as a Facebook group in 2020. You can now find it on the Art Nudge Blog, complete with a link to upload your cards.

I used the snowman theme and the orange accessories for both cards. 


I pop over to the Nudge to see what everyone makes; I hope to see you there!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Winter Delight and My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats

 Hello! Today I am on My Sweet Petunia Blog with a crafty tip about Sticky Mats.  

I love using My Sweet Petunia Sticky Mats in my crafting projects. They’ve become an essential tool, especially when working with large cling stamps like the charming Penny Black Resting Picket Fence.

Stop by the blog for my Sticky Mat pro tip!

 Art Nudge #105 on Facebook inspired the image and coloring.  I made the little birds, Purple House Finches. These adorable birds bring joy to my day as I watch them out the window, so I couldn’t resist incorporating them on this card. I love the result—vibrant and heartwarming—just like the view outside!
