Sassy Miss Daisy has done it again!

    Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

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!

A Farm-Themed Card for a Big Weekend

   Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

It’s very possible that our upcoming trip to Iowa State University is behind my sudden streak of farm-themed cards! We’re heading into a new chapter with our daughter, and I created this special card just for her as we kick off orientation weekend.

“Geezer,” our wild cowboy stamp, takes center stage on this one—he’s just the right kind of character to make it clear that this weekend is all about her. I did a bit of masking magic to customize the sentiment, stamping “It’s Your Day” on the front and saving the punchline—“Milk it for all it’s worth!”—for the inside, alongside Bridgette the Cow, of course.

The background paper has this perfect worn-denim texture that instantly reminded me of a good ol’ pair of cowboy jeans. All the cowboy details and the barn were colored using alcohol markers for a rich, vibrant finish.

It’s a playful, heartfelt card for a moment full of excitement, nerves, and so much pride. Off to new adventures we go!

Henrietta Is Back—and Louder Than Ever!

  Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

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.

Hey! HAY!

 Hi Everyone, Dalis here!

For this card, using Henrietta on her Nest was a no-brainer—honestly, is there a cuter (or sassier) chicken out there? Whether she’s still searching for love or has already found it, one thing is certain: she’s stealing the spotlight in this fun, farm-inspired scene.

I created a simple sky backdrop and added a few haystacks (including masking some to create depth) to set the scene, giving Henrietta a cozy and lively setting. To add some balance, I combined two different sentiments and included a few extra elements to ground the entire composition. As a final touch, I carried the theme onto the envelope by stamping and masking the haystacks right on the front—because who doesn’t love a little sneak peek before opening the card?

Moo-ther's Day Fun with Miss Daisy!

 Hi everyone, Dalis here to bring you so moo-rvelous ideas! 

Sometimes all you need are your cute glasses and a few flowers on your head to feel fabulous! This year, I reached for the adorable Miss Daisy stamp set to make some fun, cheerful, and unexpected Mother's Day cards. Hopefully, these little bundles of love have already arrived at their new homes—or are happily moo-ving along the way!

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!

Bright & Cheerful Get Well Card – Featuring Our “Frog Being Sick” Stamp

 Hi friends! Dalis is here today.

Today, I’m excited to share a bright and cheerful Get Well card with you. I decided to keep the design simple because I really wanted the spotlight on this adorable little frog—how cute (and a little pitiful) is he?

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.
