Who says holiday cards have to be all snowflakes and traditional Christmas trees? This one is bringing a little barnyard fun to the holiday season! 🐮🎄 I had so much fun combining the adorable Merry Moo & Birdie Too Stamp Set & Cut File with the beautifully rustic Noel’s Charm patterned paper.

Love never goes out of style... even in the afterlife! 💀 For today's card, I paired the adorable new Death Bride and Living stamp sets from CC Designs to create a sweet gothic-inspired scene that's equal parts spooky and swoon-worthy. I wanted the background to feel mysterious without taking the spotlight away from this charming couple, so I blended a simple ombré sky using Distress Inks in Black Soot, Uncharted Mariner, and Evergreen Bough. The moody colors create the perfe

As much as I love creating detailed scene cards, sometimes a clean design lets a beautiful stamped image shine all on its own. That's exactly what inspired today's card featuring Mice & Cozy, one of the adorable stamp sets included in Unity Stamp Company's August Kit of the Month – First Days to Festive Nights. This sweet little mouse hanging from a colorful autumn branch completely stole my heart. By pairing it with a large circular window, the image becomes the focal point

Sometimes a small story from across the world reminds us of something deeply human. Recently, a baby monkey named Punch captured hearts around the globe. Punch is a Japanese macaque born in July 2025 at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan. Shortly after he was born, his mother abandoned him — something that can happen with young or stressed mothers in the wild. Zookeepers stepped in and began hand-raising him, feeding him with a bottle and caring for him while he grew stronger. Becaus

Some days just call for a grumpy little critter and a single rain cloud overhead—and this card captures that mood perfectly.

This card is all about controlled ink blending, intentional masking, and letting the focal image do the storytelling. The Design Ins

My final blog post of 2025 If you’re expecting a calm, reflective, perfectly polished end-of-year blog post… you’re definitely in the wrong place. I’m closing out 2025 the only way that feels appropriate: with sarcasm, side-eye, and brand-new stamps from the Pissy Kitty collection . These two cards— Leg Day and Cupid —are basically the emotional support animals we all need as the calendar flips to a new year. Let’s be honest: New Year energy is overrated. Pissy Kitty gets it

This month’s October 2025 Whit Kit from Unity Stamp Co. is all about timeless elegance, but I couldn’t resist giving it a little fang-tastic twist!
