~ Welcome Spring ~

Good morning!  The weather is getting much better here thankfully.  And I am looking forward to getting out and about to work in the yard.  The tulips haven't shown themselves yet since the weather had been so cold.  So I had to create my own using a few new items from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I decided to color these tulips white for a bit softer look.  And I added them to a basket created with an older favorite from ODBD.  

The new items you see...

Tulips stamp set and coordinating Tulip Die


I embossed the basket image with a brown sugar EP on kraft before cutting with the coordinating die.  I added two tulip images, colored and die cut.  I love the ease of the Side Step Card Die.  No more pulling out the paper trimmer and trying to remember where to cut and how far!  :-)

All of the items from the March release...



Tulips stamp set


 coordinating Tulip Die


used to create the Tulip label on my basket


and a few old favorites as well..

A Look Back at the March Release at ODBD

Good morning!  Welcome to a special look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' March Release.  Today, I have a Fun & Fancy Fold card, featuring the Tulip stamp set and coordinating Tulip Die.  For more inspiration using the March release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.  

So here is my project using a Flower Pot Card from the Fun & Fancy Fold card collection...


I custom cut DP from ODBD's Pastel Paper Pad for my pot and edging.  I used white card stock along with ODBD's Beautiful Borders Die for edging.  I stamped my sentiment (Tulip stamp set) on white card stock and framed it using the Mini Label Die set.  I stamped my image (Tulip stamp set) with Copic compatible ink on Neenah card stock.  I colored the images (3 sets) with Copics and die cut each with the coordinating Tulip Die.  I used the sentiment insert (which slips inside the flower pot pocket) to adhere my three colored tulip images to.  When you slip it back inside the "pot" it looks just like a fun spring bouquet!  

Here are the items you see from this month's release...



and a few old favorites...





Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing a bit of your day with us!  I hope you leave with a bit of inspiration for your week.  Don't forget to leave some love as you visit each designer's blog!

Easter Blessings

We have a few more daffodils showing off their pretty yellow this week.  A bit of snow in the forecast might just make them wish they had kept their shiny faces under cover a bit longer!  I just can't resist coloring these fun images and adding them to an all white background...  Hopefully, the sunny blossoms in my yard won't have to contend with a white and cold background tomorrow...


You see a few more layers this week and a bunch of dimensional foam!  I love to make my images and layers stand out...
