Good morning and welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' October Release Blog Hop! I am pleased to share a couple of projects using some of the new products. Some of the items this month are perfect for fall and others for Christmas! So take a peek and be prepared to fall in love!

The Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on October 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won! :-)
I can't wait to get started! So here goes... my first project this month featuring the **Autumn Tree stamp set... Look closely and you will see some fun "initials" I added to the heart carving...
Items marked with ** are new to ODBD this month...
I colored my image with Copics and sponged in various shades of ink on the background to resemble a fall sunset. Once I stamped my sentiment (also from **Autumn Tree) I die cut the image and layered in on my designer paper (Blooming Garden Paper Collection).
Here are the die cuts by layer you see -
Vintage Labels Die (image)
Fancy Foliage Die (greenery)
Asters and Leaves Die (blossom)
**Peaceful Poinsettias Die (blossom center)
And if you are a visual person like me, the product images...
some new...
and some old favorites...
and now for my second card looking ahead to Christmas...
You can't go wrong with a classic red, white and green combo! I stamped my image, **Merry Christmas Ornament, with a green ink on white Copic Compatible paper. I then colored each holly leaf with a green marker and added tiny paper punched CS "berries." The coordinating **Matting Circles Die set made quick work of creating the perfect circle. I inked all edges with more green ink before adding onto the doily die cut layers.
Here's the layers you see (October release items denoted with **)
Doily Die (red and white card stock layered)
**Peaceful Poinsettias Die and
SO EASY!!!!
Here's the new items you see -
and some old favorites...
Now it's time to send you on your way! (Hopefully, with visions of sugarplums dancing in your head...) Don't forget to leave some love as you hop along! You just might win! Blessings...
