A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release

Good morning and welcome to today's look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release.  I created a card for today's post using Pennant Flag Verses stamp set, Double Stitched Pennant Flags Die and coordinating Pennant Flags Die.  For more inspiration using the December Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.


I started with a white card stock card base measuring 5.5 by 8.5 inches, scoring and folding at 4.25 inches.  I then added a red card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches to create my base.  I pulled out ODBD's Majestic Medallion Die and cut the soft silver frame and DP layer.  (You can find the DP in ODBD's Holly Jolly Paper Collection.)  I then added a die cut layer using red card stock.  I embossed the sentiment (from ODBD's Pennant Flag Verses) on red card stock and added additional banners using the nested Double Stitched Pennant Flags Die and Pennant Flags Die.  

So here are the December release items you see used today...




and a few old favorites...

Merry Christmas from Rudolph!

This week, I am continuing to work on some last minute Christmas cards including this fun one using North Coast Creations' Rudolph stamp set and coordinating Reindeer Die...


I started with a white card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches folded and added a red card stock base for my image.  I used this fun designer paper by Our Daily Bread Designs from the Snowflake Season Paper Collection.  I cut and embossed it and a white card stock layer using ODBD's Pierced Rectangles Die.  I then used ODBD's Leafy Edged Borders Die to create my snow.  I colored my image Rudolph stamp set with Copics and used North Coast Creations' Reindeer Die to cut him out.  I stamped my sentiment with Real Red Ink and popped up Mr. Rudolph with dimensional foam.  

Here are a few of the items you see today...



As always thanks for stopping by!  ((hugs))

Word Art Wednesday 260 & 261 ~ For God So Loved the World ~

Good morning and welcome to another fun challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  Today we have one of the most beloved passages in Scripture to share.  You will see this everywhere from professional athlete's shoes to signs at sporting events.  It is this particular passage that so succinctly describes God's unmerited mercy and grace.  The most precious gift ever given arrived in a lowly stable over 2000 years ago....


This gift arrived without wrapping paper or bows, but most certainly was the most beautiful gift ever given.  I am so thankful that He is mine...

Card Stock - Stampin' Up, Georgia Pacific
Designer Paper - Echo Park - I Love Christmas by Lori Whitlock
Die - Layered Lacey Ovals Die by Our Daily Bread Designs
Misc. - Baker's Twine

Blessings!!
