Hello Spring...Maybe?

***Our team uses affiliate links used when possible with no charge to you!***

Hello, friends! Here in the South, we’re welcoming spring’s arrival, but we never quite know if winter is truly gone until mid-April. So, for now, we’ll soak up the warmer temps and enjoy the fresh beginnings of a new season!

My card today celebrates winter’s passing and spring’s arrival—a little breath of fresh air in paper form. I hope you’re starting to see signs of spring wherever you are!

Crafting with My Favorite Tools

For this design, I turned to my trusty MISTI tools to bring it to life! 

🖤 Large Original MISTI—for perfectly crisp stamping on my image layer
❤️ Mini MISTI—ideal for precise sentiment placement (plus, it fits perfectly on my makeshift dresser desk while renovations are still pending!)

Some other tools I reach for every single time I stamp:
✔️ Alignment Grids – for foolproof placement
✔️ Original Sticky Mat & Mini MISTI Sticky Mat – keeps everything secure
✔️ Cut-Align Ruler – zero-centering 
✔️ Precision Glue Press – because clean adhesive application is a must!

These tools make stamping seamless and enjoyable, even in my temporary setup! 


The adorable stamp set is Happy Spring by SweetMissDaisy.

Thanks so much for stopping by—I’d love to hear if spring is appearing in your neck of the woods!

Spring is on her way!

Hello everyone! Anna here, with greetings from a late winter, sunny tho chilly pacific northwest! 
The card I’m sharing today was made using the recently released Henny & Penny and Correspondence Bits clear stamp sets from SweetMissDaisy Designs. A delicately watercolored image paired with soft textures of watercolor paper, designer Home patterned paper from SweetMissDaisy Designs, faux stitching and cotton lace makes for a really cute card, perfect for sending love to someone near or far. Not to mention, she has a chicken! Swoon!

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the image several times to ensure a great impression on textured watercolor paper.

I love how the Mini Misti allows me to stamp perfectly, every time! On card panels or on smaller sentiment banners, I can stamp with precision every time, giving me the perfect placement and impression for every project.  Sentiments are stamped perfectly placed, and stamped images on watercolor paper (or other textured papers) are a breeze to create! 

Thanks for joining me on the blog today! Stay healthy and well!

A Valentine in My Favorite Colors

With Valentine’s Day tomorrow, I couldn’t resist indulging in my favorite colors for this sweet and love-filled project! 

For my design, I used the adorable Framed Bunnies and the Love paper pack from SweetMissDaisy Designs. These two are just the cutest little couple—perfect for a heartfelt Valentine’s card or any occasion!

How I Created This Card:

**Our team uses affiliate links when possible at no charge to you!**

First, I stamped the sweet bunny pair onto cardstock using my Original MISTI for a clean, crisp impression.
Then, I moved the cardstock to my Mini MISTI to stamp the sentiment and the tiny heart with perfect placement.

I absolutely love using my MISTIs and MISTI tools for precision stamping—it makes everything so easy and seamless! To bring it all together, I also used:

✔️ Alignment Grids – for perfect positioning
✔️ Sticky Mats – to keep everything in place
✔️ Precision Glue Press – for flawless adhesive application
✔️ Cut Align Ruler – for crisp, straight edges



This project was such a joy to create, and I can’t wait to send this little love note out! Are you crafting anything special for Valentine’s Day? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Valentine’s Crafting!

Lucky To Have You As A Friend

I created a fun card using the MISTI to do stamping after I assembled the card.

Stamping sentiments and images after the card is created is dicey without a MISTI tool.


To create the pink ombre ink blending I used Tim Holtz Distress inks in Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick, Saltwater Taffy and Tattered Rose.

Snow Charming

***Our Team uses affiliate links at no charge to you***

Hello, creative friends!

This week, I am excited to feature Mr. Charming—a delightful project that brought winter magic to my crafting space. Mr. Charming came to life with the help of some of my favorite tools, and I can’t wait to share the process with you!

First, I stamped the buttons using the Mini MISTI, followed by stamping Mr. Charming himself with the Black Original MISTI. These tools are indispensable for precision and ease. Even though my current workspace is no larger than a child’s dresser, the Mini and Original MISTIs make crafting in small spaces a breeze.

To ensure everything was perfectly aligned, I used an Alignment Grid. If you haven’t tried the grids yet, it’s a must-have for anyone who loves clean, professional results. Other tools I utilize with every project are the Cut Align Ruler with the 0 center, the Precision Glue Press for neat and controlled adhesion, and Sticky Mats to keep everything in place while I work.

While I can’t say I’m the biggest fan of snow, it is pretty! My husband and I ventured out yesterday to snap a few photos in the snow, and it felt delightful to forget about grown-up life for a moment. And besides, without snow, we wouldn’t see something as delightful as a charming snow person.


Charming is a new stamp set by SweetMissDaisy Designs.



I hope this inspires you to embrace the season—and your crafting tools—to create something enchanting. 

Stay cozy and creative,

I used the Mini Misti to stamp the snowman image several times to ensure a great impression on textured watercolor paper. The Mini Misti also allowed me to precisely place the sentiment and stamp it several times to get a great impression!
