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!
