Hello crafters, Timothy here today sharing a card to show someone just how “clawsome” they are.
I started with a fun piece of pattern paper for my background. I used a neon green cardstock for the base. I stamped, colored and cut out the Crab Happy (small) stamp. I used some alphabet dies to create the sentiment. Cork paper was used to give the illusion of sand. I cut out a piece of coral for the background and finished the card by adding enamel dots. Have a great day!!

Miss Daisy’s Got Attitude — and a Whole Lot of Cheese!
Miss Daisy has done it again! She just can’t help herself — that sass is part of her charm. This cheeky card was created as part of a dairy-themed Instagram Hop I’m participating in, and I couldn’t resist leaning into the theme with a little extra snark.
The sentiment called for something bold and dairy-inspired, and what better way to play it up than with a cheesy background? Literally. The cheese motif adds just the right dose of humor while tying everything together in the most delightfully absurd way.
It’s a little funny, a little snarky, and totally Miss Daisy. Be sure to follow the hop for more dairy-inspired laughs and creativity!

Henrietta on Her Nest is making a bold return, and this time she's bringing all the sass—and all the 90s vibes! Inspired by the bright, clashing colors of the '90s (think The Colors of Benetton meets farm chic), Henrietta is strutting her stuff as queen of the coop. With her vibrant feathers and feisty personality, she's ready to steal the show.
To build the scene, I brought back the ever-handy Haystacks stamp to ground the layout and added a large cut-out heart for a little extra love (or a cheeky “HAY!” for someone special). I had a blast coloring Henrietta—she's dressed in the loudest hues I could come up with, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
For added texture, I sprayed the haystacks with three different shades of dye spray ink, giving them a grungy, mixed-media flair. And of course, no card of mine is truly finished without a few touches of white gel pen highlights to bring everything to life.
Henrietta is all attitude and color—just how we like her.

I then used a honeycomb stencil with Catherine Pooler and Lisa Horton metallic inks. I love how that blended and wish I could show you the shimmer, but you know how finicky cameras can be.
I added the die-cut sentiments and had Miss Prissy popping up from behind. On the inside of the card I stamped the sentiment from the Miss Prissy set: "Live today like you're getting fried tomorrow." Perfect!

The stamped card was mounted on blue cardstock
I first stamped Jaws the Shark onto the card front and colored it with Copics. Next, I masked the shark so it would appear to be jumping out of the water after I stamped that.
But what really makes the card, is that What Doesn't Kill You sentiment, am I right?!

This was my first time working with clear stamps, and let me tell you—they stamp moo-rvelously! 🐄✨ A quick tip if you're using Miss Daisy: stamp her in the color you want her spots to be. I went for that classic Midwestern dairy cow look—black and white, of course!
I kept the coloring super simple using alcohol markers. Just a few strokes brought Miss Daisy to life. But you know I couldn’t resist a pop of color! 🌈
You’ll soon notice I have a serious love affair with bright, bold pattern papers. They just make everything feel a bit more joyful, don’t they?
The inside of the card features one of my all-time favorite sayings: “Live life like someone left the gate open!” Truer words have never been spoken—especially if you’re a cow… or just someone with a wild spirit. 🐄💨
This card was a total joy to create—partly because I adore cows, and partly because I knew they’d bring a smile to the special moms who received them.
Thanks for stopping by! If you’ve used Miss Daisy or have a favorite punny stamp set, I’d love to hear about it in the comments!
We have a whole collection of fun and quirky frog stamps, and for this card, I chose the one called Frog Being Sick. It’s one of our rubber stamp designs, and it just makes me smile every time. To go with it, I used the Get Well Soon Tiny rubber stamp sentiment—perfect for sending a little comfort.
I watercolored the image, matching the colors to the patterned paper I picked out. It gave the whole card a soft, coordinated look. To finish it off, I found a sentiment punch in my stash that fit just right (love when that happens!). Everything was stamped using VersaFine Ink to get those nice, crisp lines.
This card was a joy to make, and I hope it brings a smile to someone who needs a little pick-me-up.
