A Blog Hop and New Release at Our Daily Bread Designs!

 Welcome to Release Day at Our Daily Bread Designs!  The first day of each month is a special time for ODBD and the "Bread Sticks."  We get to show you all of the new products ODBD has cooked up for you that month.  Plus you have the chance to win when you hop along!  

For complete deets on how you might win check out the bottom of today's post.  In the meantime, I have a couple of cards to share featuring a host of new stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs.  

First off, I have a soft and shabby project featuring the new set, You Are My Angel...

I started with a white card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a soft pink mat.  I selected the gingham print from ODBD's Shabby Rose Paper Collection  and distressed the edges before adding it to the pink mat.  A bit of dimensional foam lifts the die cut Quatrefoil Pattern Die off of the gingham for an added bit of dimension.  I stamped the angel wings (from the new You Are My Angel
set) with silver ink on white card stock and carefully fussy cut it.  I nestled it on top of the wing dies (Angel Wings) and added some greenery from a favorite die, Fancy Foliage.  This montage including flowers from the Birds and Nest Die rest upon the Antique Labels and Borders Die also in white CS.  I stamped the sentiment (You Are My Angel) with pink ink on white card stock and used the Pennants Die to cut and emboss it.  A few flat backed pearls in the blossoms add just a bit of refinement.  And if  you look closely you will see the bit of glimmer mist on the die cut wings nestled above the pearl flourish.  Whew!  There is a whole lot going on with this project!  ;-)

And here is the new set you see here today...


So for my second project...  I decided to go with an Americana feel...  Fourth of July is coming ya know!  

I started with a rich navy CS base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I added a white mat and a red card stock base, scoring every inch to create a "clapboard" effect.  The new dies made the rest of the project a breeze.  I created my window, shutters and window box with the new dies, Welcoming Window, Flower Box Fillers and Window Shutter and Awning.  I created the flowers with the Flower Box Fillers die and added a bit of greenery from Fancy Foliage. 
 The curtains are white card stock and Layered Lacey Squares Die cuts, positioned to resemble curtains.  The "wallpaper" and awning are prints from the Patriotic Paper Collection.  I chose a rich navy ink and stamped the sentiment (Home Sweet Home) on white CS before using the Mini Tags Die to cut and frame it.  A bit of baker's twine and Flower Soft adorn the box.  
 
So here are the new items you see here...

Hi Teamie. Love the use of sparkly elegant cuts on the first card. Such a beautiful dimensional card. The second window card rocks in patriotic colors! WOW! :)

Lori,
How clever of you to make a lace curtain inside the window (I think with a border die?)! That card almost looks patriotic with its colors. The first card "looks so simple" but how beautiful. And yippee, I have that background die. Very elegant!
