There is something about Granny Apple Green that just brings a smile to my face! When the first signs of Spring appear you are sure to see that lovely yellow green shade. Today's card features not only Granny Apple Green... oh, how I wish I could wear that lovely color... :-( and another fav... gingham! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just adore these bunnies and the coordinating punch from Stampin' Up! I did do some fussy cutting to create their perfectly white tummies and lovely pink inner ears. I also cut out the fun carrots. Did you notice that wonderful wink on bunny number three? He got all the carrots after all! I guess the other two bunny friends were surprised by that! ;-) They really don't look TOO annoyed with him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We have all been there. You need a bunch of cards and in a hurry! That usually happens to me every Christmas season. You would think someone who blogs about card making... has cards! Wrong! I am always procrastinating until you guessed it... I have 10 days til the day and zero cards! :-( I am totally a bad card influence! #cardloser</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just in case you think I have it together for 2019 I must confess I created these cards before last Christmas. I never mailed them. Sigh... #doublecardloser </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you do not want to be like me... you can start early and pick a pattern that is fast, easy and can be changed up easily. Here's a design I did in three different versions that literally took a few hours. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n1WNKH-Zn4g/XJeuIfazg0I/AAAAAAAANzg/-Yct-1-9q603Ar4GdQR6tf8cex1BwE23ACLcBGAs/s1600/Christmas%2BGray%2Band%2BWhite%2BCheck.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-n1WNKH-Zn4g/XJeuIfazg0I/AAAAAAAANzg/-Yct-1-9q603Ar4GdQR6tf8cex1BwE23ACLcBGAs/s320/Christmas%2BGray%2Band%2BWhite%2BCheck.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gray and White</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Red and Black</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can see I mixed up the design colors using red and black, gray and black along with black and white. I also chose to mask the sentiment and use different colors on occasion. You can really take a simple design and make it your own. I made 5 of these in no time and I used a new toy for me... the Stamparatus. I'm not a Stampin' Up demonstrator so I can tell you that gizmo is super handy! LOVE! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the details for the cards you see! Thanks as always and have a great day!</div>

You know that feeling when you and your best friend get together after several week or months? It seems like you never really left off. They finish your sentences, laugh at your zany jokes and just make you smile! Togetherness really does make the world go round. How many civic organizations build their culture around weekly or monthly meetings? Churches (and the Bible) encourage believers to come together. Family reunions, block parties and holiday events provide that sense of completeness. It is just plain fun to be with other like minded people. We relate on a personal level and being with a special person or group just makes everything seem better! And this card celebrates just that!</div>

I have taken some much needed time away from crafting to focus on the important things in life like my health and family. I finally feel like I am enjoying the process again. :-) For those who stop by, I would encourage you to follow me on Instagram. You can search for saintsrule71 to locate me there. I also would suggest you look me up on Pinterest. I post almost all of my cards on Pinterest because it is SO MUCH easier! You can find my cards on my board entitled Saintsrule!. I will do my best to bring my cards here. But honestly, I find the whole art of blogging is a time drainer and I simply hashtag the items I use on both Pinterest and Instagram. So that makes it easier for me and you! As a result... I can enjoy the process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is today's card featuring a Stampin' Up set from the 2015 Sale-A-Bration. I found mine via Etsy... I believe they are still around on Ebay and the like...</div>

The lemon is a single image so it was necessary to mask the first stamping before doing the second. I love the black and white check along with a crisp yellow. I'm seeing this trend so much in home decor and I have even incorporated a few snippets of this into my home. Don't you love it when inspiration strikes in an unexpected way? </div>

In our neck of the woods it has been cold and WET! I am looking forward to seeing the crocus, daffodils and muscari that mark the beginnings of warmer weather. In the meantime, I have a fun card to share featuring a few items from my ever growing stash. I am pleased as punch to have been a part of the <a href="http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com/">Word Art Wednesday</a> crew this month.

How many of you have Valentine's Day shopping on your list of things to do today? We often spend unlimited time and boundless money on finding just the perfect gift to impress that special someone. But that kind of love can be fleeting. I have been known to say I "love" a blouse or I "love" my dogs. **OK... I really do LOVE my dogs** But seriously, love is a word that suffers from being used too loosely. If you look at today's scripture from the 1st book of John, it plainly says that God is love. So that is definitely a high standard to adhere to. He loved us so much that he sent his only son to die a painful, torturous and humiliating death. Jesus was the Son of God and was pinned to a cross like a common thief! He died a hideous death because of his LOVE for us. He wanted to save us from eternal separation from God the Father. That kind of love is worth more than any card or box of chocolates! I pray you have a wonderful and blessed Valentine's Day!</div>

When preparing today's post, I realized it has been nearly 7 months since my last entry! I thought it was only fair to share a bit of what I have been up to over the spring, summer and now fall. I have checked quite a few things of my to do list, including organizing my kitchen. I have actually cooked in said kitchen. (And my hubs IS SO happy about that!) And I have spent almost zero time in my craft room.... and I do mean ZERO. I was a bit worn out... physically and emotionally. It was time for a break... a chance to get the creative juices flowing again. I needed time for me! And I took it! I highly encourage everyone to recognize when they are burned out and need to refuel. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">For the foreseeable future, I will be posting things I have on my crafting table. I will give credit but will not be providing links. I hope you understand. I really want to simplify the crafting process for ME and make it enjoyable again. </span><br />

Good morning! This week marks a very special milestone for <a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a>.
Many years ago, when I first encountered ODBD, I was searching for
scripture stamps. The options, unfortunately, were very limited. I was
so excited to stumble upon ODBD. Over the years, I played along with
challenges and eventually was honored to join their challenge team,
serve as a guest designer and join their design team, the Breadsticks. I
am grateful for the opportunity I had to showcase my Lord and Savior,
through their work. So this week to celebrate their 10th anniversary,
Kelley and company released a few new stamps and dies. I am honored and
excited to join the celebration as part of their alum. Here's the new
release items you see here today including <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/god-verses-2.html">God Verses 2</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/filigree-circles-dies.html">Filigree Circles Die</a>.</div>

<br />
My
first card started with a white card stock base measuring 4.5 x 4.5
inches. I added a slightly smaller mat using ODBD's Shabby Pastels
Paper Pad. The second layer consists of designer paper from ODBD's
Shabby Rose Paper Collection die cut with ODBD's Pierced Squares. The
sentiment panel consists of white card stock and two layers from the
Anniversary release <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/filigree-circles-dies.html">Filigree Circles Die</a>. I chose this beautiful sentiment from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/god-verses-2.html">God Verses 2</a>
stamping it with a soft coral ink on white card stock. For the final
touch, I die cut the sentiment panel with ODBD's Filigree Frames placing
it on top and adding a custom coral rose created with ODBD's Roses Die
and Rose Leaves Die. A soft mint green bow tops it off.<br />
<br />
I
couldn't just leave it at one project. These dies and stamps are super
versatile. I opted this time to create a traditional 4.25 x 5.5 inch
card using the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/god-verses-2.html">God Verses 2</a> stamp set and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/filigree-circles-dies.html">Filigree Circles Die</a> set. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For
this project I chose a soft lavender DP from ODBD's Shabby Pastel Paper
Pad and distress the edges before adding to the card stock base. I cut
a slightly smaller silver CS layer before adding a spring plaid from
the Shabby Pastels Paper Pad. I used the ecru DP from the same paper
pad along with ODBD's Scalloped Chain Die for my overlay. The sentiment
layers, a soft lavender, ecru and sky blue are also in the same paper
pad. It makes my life SO much easier when I can pull coordinating
papers from one pad! The bottom two layers on the sentiment panel came
from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/filigree-circles-dies.html">Filigree Circles Die</a>
set. I pulled in ODBD's Circles Die and Double Stitched Circles die
(in that order) to fill up the panel. The sentiment (found in the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/god-verses-2.html">God Verses 2</a>)
was stamped in a soft purple. The rose (created by inking card stock
after cutting and then shaping) were made with ODBD's Roses and Rose
Leaves Dies. I finished the spray off with sprigs created with ODBD's
Lovely Leaves Die.<br />
<br />
This was a super fun project to
work on. It is always fun to celebrate a special day! Thanks again to
all of those who have supported Our Daily Bread Designs. And a special
thank you to Kelley and company who made my time at ODBD so special!<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good morning! And as always, thank you for taking a few moments to visit. With Christmas just a few short days away, it seems everything in my house has gone into hyper mode. I am working through today. Our family dinner is tomorrow. So, I doubt I will be getting much rest tonight! lol Even with all of the craziness, I love this time of year. And I certainly enjoy all of the crafting that goes with is! Today, I have a card to share featuring <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a> December stamp release, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/praise-the-lord.html">Praise the Lord</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used two coordinating papers from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/holly-jolly-6x6-paper.html">Holly Jolly Paper Collection.</a> I trimmed the plaid piece down to use in the middle but both were die cut using ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/majestic-medallion-dies.html">Majestic Medallion Dies</a>. I cut a slightly larger gold poster board mat to nestle between the die cut designer papers and the red card stock base. My image (colored with Copics) was stamped on Copic compatible paper and framed with the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-ovals-dies.html">Double Stitched Ovals Die</a>. I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html">Ovals Die</a> and gold poster board to create the second layer and finally the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/oval-stitched-rows-dies.html">Ovals Stitched Rows</a> with green card stock. I nestled a green ribbon and bow under it and added a final sentiment panel created with the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/praise-the-lord.html">Praise the Lord</a> stamp set and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/oval-stitched-rows-dies.html">Oval Stitched Rows</a> die.

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning and welcome to a special look back at <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a> December release. I have a couple of projects featuring a special 3D die along with some fun stamp sets, perfect for Christmas crafting. Here is the first item, featuring the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/card-caddy-gift-bag-dies.html">Card Caddy & Gift Bag Dies</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wX9itGbhMTc/WjMWElid0gI/AAAAAAAANUg/W81CRik8U-kqlMuStWLNcVt9HXf6MKJ7ACLcBGAs/s1600/Poinsettia%2BBag%2BWM.JPG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wX9itGbhMTc/WjMWElid0gI/AAAAAAAANUg/W81CRik8U-kqlMuStWLNcVt9HXf6MKJ7ACLcBGAs/s640/Poinsettia%2BBag%2BWM.JPG.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment is from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/white-as-snow.html">White as Snow</a> stamp die duo. I framed the sentiment using the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd63-mini-tag-dies.html">Mini Tags Die</a> and attached it with a key ring created with gold card stock and ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/keys-dies.html">Keys Die</a> set. I used two cuts (in white card stock and gold, overlapped) to create my edging. This die can be found in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/gift-bag-handles-topper-dies.html">Gift Bag Handles & Topper Die</a>. The poinsettia design is a special inset that can be used with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/card-caddy-gift-bag-dies.html">Card Caddy & Gift Bag Die</a> to create this special bag. The poinsettia design is known as the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/poinsettia-inset-die.html">Poinsettia Inset Die</a><u>.</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So now for a fun card featuring the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/holly-leaves.html">Holly Leaves Die</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this split panel. I used a deep green card stock base with a bit of red CS matting. I used ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html">Pierced Rectangles Die</a> to create the designer paper base with coordinating papers from ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/holly-jolly-6x6-paper.html">Holly Jolly Collection.</a> I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/curvy-slopes-dies.html">Curvy Slopes Die</a> to delineate the two and added my focal layer on top. I stamped two sets of holly, colored each, added a sentiment and finished it off with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html">Rectangles Die</a>. I added a bit of glitter ink and Glossy Accents over each holly berry and let dry. Once the panel was set, I added a bit of red ribbon. </span></div>

My day had been a particularly tough one, physically and emotionally. I spent most of my day in the car traveling from one work project to another. And there were countless other things spinning in my head. You've been there too... changed plans, rescheduled meetings, regrets for a missed event... and burdens... oh, how many burdens. It had become a heavy load. And so, as I found myself sitting at a stoplight somewhere near the end of the day, I casually looked in my rear view mirror and saw an unexpected sight. There sitting in an older model car immediately behind me and sporting an Under Armour zip up jacket was Jesus. Or should I say, a young man who was a dead ringer for all of the paintings of Jesus I have seen. He had long flowing locks, slim build, beard and gentle features. Now before someone gets excited and thinks I have lost my mind or have uttered something sacrilegious let me just say... I needed to see Jesus. And on that particular afternoon, after a 24 hour period of disappointments and defeat, oh, how I needed Him! And so what did I do? I bawled like a baby for that minute and several others after. And yes, I know that wasn't really Jesus. But for a few brief moments, I was reminded he is with me always. Isn't it nice to know he is always with us when we need him? If you look carefully, you might just see him in the most unexpected places! </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the perfect set for creating your own little gift bags! And if you check out the other designers today, you will see a fun insert you can add to make it even more beautiful! For this project, I stamped the image on paper and colored the sweet holly. I framed it with a couple of special dies from an earlier release (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Rounded Rectangles</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I stamped my image with a soft brown ink on white card stock and framed it with brown DP with the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-december.html">Ovals Stitched Rows Die</a>. I also worked in the new insert that you can use in the Card Caddy die but adapted it for the background here. <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-december.html">Poinsettia Panel Die</a> I nestled it over DP from ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2017-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Colletion 2017 Paper Pad</a>.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This has been a challenging week on many levels. It started with some unexpected news and ends with waiting and waiting some more... One thing that soothes the savage and impatient beast... bird watching! And today's card reminds me of the importance of slowing down and appreciating the </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> moment.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Today we are taking a look back at <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a> November Release. Here is the card I created using the
<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/a-look-back-at-our-daily-bread-designs.html">Winter Chickadee</a> stamp set, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2017-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Collection 2017 Paper Pad</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/trees-deer-dies.html">Trees & Deer Die</a>.

Release be sure to visit the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/11/a-look-back-at-our-daily-bread-designs.html">ODBD Blog</a>.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is nothing more peaceful than a walk in the woods. Everyone needs a few moments to recharge and refresh. This darling little image from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/winter-chickadee.html">Winter Chickadee</a> stamp set seems to be nestled happily in the forest. I started with a soft moss green card stock base adding a green DP from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2017-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Collection 2017 Paper Pad</a>. I cute a slightly larger mat with a dark brown paper also from the same paper pad. I cut several sizes of the trees using a dark and light paper from the paper pad. The artichoke colored trees are from a separate card stock I had in my stash. I layered the trees (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/trees-deer-dies.html">Trees & Deer Die</a>) so some would appear to be be larger than others. I fussy cut my image and then placed it in the desired spot. I chose this wonderful sentiment and stamped it on coordinating DP and cut out my mat panel. </span><br />

Does anyone else remember when we all wanted to know what "season" we were? The season determined what colors we looked good in. My mom was an Autumn, which explained her tendency to buy anything brown. And my season was Winter. Winters were supposed to look good in jewel tones and were the only season that could pull off a true black or white. It's funny, because my Mom says I always had a very distinct voice in what I wore.. even as a small child. Apparently from an early age certain colors would not make the cut. When the whole "season" fad came out, it became quite clear that the colors I naturally gravitated toward were the ones this trend said I should wear. And ironically enough, to this day, I find myself gravitating toward certain colors in my home and yes, even in my cards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So remember that my Mom LOVES brown? It turns out that is one of the colors that legitimately makes me nervous. I can't even remember wearing anything brown until I was well into my fourth decade. That is why you rarely see me try anything like that in my card making. But today is different! I have vowed to try something that makes me a bit nervous and color outside the box... sort of! Here is my sepia card using <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/winter-cardinal.html">Winter Cardinal</a> stamp set, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html">Pine Branches Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html">Pinecones Die</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs_5Jh_tGjw/WgUAn0AEleI/AAAAAAAANME/Iq85qO6Qz40MpqvtpWFJbo35JacqlSQbACLcBGAs/s1600/Sepia%2BCardinal%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Cs_5Jh_tGjw/WgUAn0AEleI/AAAAAAAANME/Iq85qO6Qz40MpqvtpWFJbo35JacqlSQbACLcBGAs/s640/Sepia%2BCardinal%2BWM.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I created a center step base with a rich brown card stock and cut the Designer Paper and soft Bark DP slightly smaller than each panel. The Papers can be found in ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/vintage-ephemera-6x6-paper-pad.html">Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ephemera-essentials-paper-pad.html">Ephemera Essentials Paper Pad</a>. I stamped the image with Espresso Truffle ink on Copic compatible paper. (The stamp set is the November release, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/winter-cardinal.html">Winter Cardinal</a>. I colored the image with Copics E30, E33, E35 and E37 before die cutting with ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-circles-dies.html">Double Stitched Circles Die</a>. After embossing and before removing the die, I inked the edges of the image with a tea dye distress ink. The mat was created with ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circles-dies.html">Circles Die</a>. I stamped the sentiment (also with Espresso Truffle ink) and then after die cutting (ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html">Ovals Die</a> added a bit of distress ink. A spray of pine branches and cones finish it off. (ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html">Pine Branches Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html">Pinecones Die</a>.) </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning and welcome to the November Release and Blog Hop at <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a>! I can't believe it is already November! I really, really, REALLY do not know where the year went! I must admit it is fun to start making holiday cards. However, it is terrifying when I think of how many weekends I have to prepare for Thanksgiving and then Christmas! Does anyone else feel my pain? **gnashing of teeth** I have found the best therapy is to just give in and let go! So I did just that when working on this month's cards. Here is my first project using the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-november.html">Winter Chickadee</a> stamp set and the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-november.html">Christmas Paper Collection 2017</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I promise that I know it is still October. But I couldn't resist taking a few moments to work on a wintry themed card. The forecast here calls for flurries in a few days. And even though I dread the months of cold weather and shorter days... I do enjoy working on a snowy card. Unless, I have to tromp through inches of snow to get to my car... and drive out on slippery roads at 5:00 a.m. So this is the best of both worlds... not quite winter but creating dreamy winter themed cards... **sigh**</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This time, I pulled out a few items from the October release including the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/card-greetings.html">Card Greetings</a> stamp set and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ice-skate-die.html">Ice Skate Die</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PyUkVZ6rPM4/WekyWDFhUDI/AAAAAAAANIg/bo9kxMrObygGSL8tDXwpj_JvLsAo4EQCwCLcBGAs/s1600/Be%2BJoyful%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PyUkVZ6rPM4/WekyWDFhUDI/AAAAAAAANIg/bo9kxMrObygGSL8tDXwpj_JvLsAo4EQCwCLcBGAs/s640/Be%2BJoyful%2BWM.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I started with a couple of rich layered solids (brown and burgundy) from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fall-favorites-6x6-paper-pad.html">Fall Favorites Paper Pad</a> and added a designer paper layer from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/follow-the-son-paper-pad.html">Follow the Son Paper Pad</a>. I used the largest die in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html">Pierced Rectangles Die</a> set to create the patterned base. After trimming down the polka dot band (also from the </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fall-favorites-6x6-paper-pad.html">Fall Favorites Paper Pad</a>), I added a bit of hemp twine and tied a simple bow. The sentiment and image both came in the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/be-a-sunflower.html">Be a Sunflower</a> stamp set. I used the coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sunflower-die.html">Sunflower Die</a> to cut out the image and added it with a bit of dimensional foam. I used a few old favorites, the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html">Ovals Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-ovals-dies.html">Pierced Ovals Die</a> to finish off the sentiment panel. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I chose to use dies only on the second card. And since I need more Christmas cards in my stash... it seemed like the best route to go. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used designer paper from two collections, the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-coordinating-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Pad</a> and the original <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Collection 2015 Paper Pad</a>. (Solids are from the Coordinating PP and the pattern is in the original Christmas Collection. I nested a <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html">Double Stitched Rectangles Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lavish-layers-dies.html">Lavish Layers Die</a> to create my frame. I offset a couple of die cuts using the NEW <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/merry-christmas-caps-die.html">Merry Christmas Caps Die</a>. So here are a few of the new items you see...</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good morning and welcome to a special Pre-Release post from <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a>. <b> </b>Today through October 31st, <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a> is offering Pre-Order Bundle Specials on the November 2017 Release! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><em>All November 2017 Bundle pre-orders will begin shipping on November 1, 2017 or sooner, please see the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/10/november-new-release-pre-order.html">ODBD Blog</a> for more details.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The design team has a special blog hop ready to showcase the bundles featured. And just do you know, t</span><span style="font-size: large;">here are three different bundles you can choose from. Each has a sampling of items from the November release. So today, I would like to showcase some of the items available in the pre-order bundles. My first card features a few new items including the new We've Moved stamp set, Welcoming Door Die, Curvy Slopes Die, Christmas Door Greenery Die and Trees & Deer Die. (You can go to this <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/november-2017-bread-basket-bundle-pre-order.html">LINK</a> to see the Bread Basket Bundle.) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Check out the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-door-bundle-pre-order.html">Christmas Door Bundle</a> that feature most of these items... Here are a few graphics showing the bundles available. The stamp set is perfect for special holidays and to welcome someone into a new home! The coordinating door dies, feature everything from the front door (which can open) to greenery to decorate! I used the Curvy Slopes die to create my bit of snow and the new Trees & Deer Die for my evergreens beside the door! </span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">And now for my second card featuring the new Winter Cardinal Stamp set, Curvy Slopes Die, Snow Globe Die and Christmas Collection Paper Pad 2017! I used the Curvy Slopes Die again to create the angled DP panel behind my image. The Christmas Paper Collection 2017 has a great assortment of solids (like the soft green and burgundy here) plus cute prints! I colored my image (from the new Winter Cardinal stamp) and cut it out using the new Snow Globe Die. I used a gold poster board along with the same die to create my base. </span></div>

Good morning and welcome to my weekly look back at new products from <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a>. This week, I have a card featuring a few items from the October release including the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/card-greetings.html">Card Greetings</a> stamp set, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Rounded Rectangles Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ornament-branch-die.html">Ornament Branch Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html">Pine Branches Die</a>. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8gqIASUw_w/WeARbgvEHjI/AAAAAAAANGU/LpqUvlVakXoU7WHVZaygyNhNI6yiTyhUwCLcBGAs/s1600/Savior%2BWM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q8gqIASUw_w/WeARbgvEHjI/AAAAAAAANGU/LpqUvlVakXoU7WHVZaygyNhNI6yiTyhUwCLcBGAs/s640/Savior%2BWM.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I started with a white card stock base, created using the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Rounded Rectangles Die</a>. I nested the next layer (ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2014-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Paper Collection 2014</a>) after cutting and embossing with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Double Stitched Rectangle Dies</a>. I chose this lovely scripture from the book on Luke, featured in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/card-greetings.html">Card Greetings</a> stamp set, stamping it on white card stock with a rich green ink. I cut, embossed and inked this panel using an old favorite in my ODBD collection, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd55-vintage-label-dies.html">Vintage Labels Die</a>. The new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ornament-branch-die.html">Ornament Branch Die</a> lends itself well to shadowing. For this project, I cut my die out first in white CS and then a layer of silver poster board. I offset them to give a silver "shadow." I also cut another image out in green and carefully trimmed it to fit the top branch. The die cut ribbon (also done in silver) can be found in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-ornament-dies.html">Circle Ornaments die</a> set. I chose two shades of brown card stock to create the itty bitty <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html">Pine Cones Die</a>. I distressed the DP layer with a bit of white, pumice and sky shades and for a final touch added a few flat backed silver beads. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So here are a few of the new items you see on this project...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fall has officially been with us for a week or so. However, it doesn't really feel like fall for me until the first day of October. This is when I launch into full creative mode! I start prepping the house for the harvest season. There are chrysanthemums on my front porch and a scarecrow to greet those who enter. And I have even starting adding to my Christmas decorating stash! So it seems only natural to be working on fall projects and adding a few more cards to my Christmas stash! This month, <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a> added THREE paper pads, stamp sets and dies designed to help make your own shaped cards! And the best part... they cover both fall and Christmas projects. So you can be creating both just like I am! I can't wait to share the two projects I have for you today! I did one for both fall and winter! Don't forget to check at the end of today's post for info about this month's blog hop! And be sure to come back each Friday to see a special project featuring this month's release! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So here my first project featured the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/be-a-sunflower.html">Be a Sunflower</a> stamp set, coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sunflower-die.html">Sunflower Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Follow the Son Paper Pad</a>, coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Fall Favorites Paper Pad</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Rounded Rectangles Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die</a> and the lovely <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Stitched Leaves Die</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UlGPX4UNJ14/WdAxEnlnYyI/AAAAAAAANDs/wwI2SJQKRj8bI7dHEFEWJya1_MdF5KacACLcBGAs/s1600/Sunflower%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1499" data-original-width="1499" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UlGPX4UNJ14/WdAxEnlnYyI/AAAAAAAANDs/wwI2SJQKRj8bI7dHEFEWJya1_MdF5KacACLcBGAs/s400/Sunflower%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started with a the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Rounded Rectangles Die</a> to create my base and added another layer of chocolate DP from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Fall Favorites Paper Pad</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Rounded Rectangles Die</a>. I then pulled out another DP from the collection and used the coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles Die </a>to create my next layer. I stamped the sunflower image (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Be A Sunflower</a>) on Copic compatible paper and colored each image before using the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Sunflower Die</a> to cut each out. I added a white die cut fence to the bottom and stamped my sentiment on Kraft paper before die cutting it as well. I also added a few of the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Stitched Leaves Die</a> using a few of the rich colors found in the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Follow the Son Paper Pad</a>. The same sheets are also available in the coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Fall Favorites Paper Pad</a>. So here are a few of the items you see here...</div>

For my second project, I chose to use the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Card Greetings</a> stamp set, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Ice Skate Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Pine Branches Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Pad</a> along with a few old favorites including the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Collection 2015 Paper Pad</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html">Pinecones Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html">Rectangles</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html">Pierced Rectangles Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-ovals-dies.html">Pierced Ovals Die</a>. I started with a white card stock base (4.25 x 5.5 inches; gate folded) and added a bit of striped paper from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Pad</a> and die cut with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html">Pierced Rectangles Die</a>. The top DP layer (found in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html">Christmas Collection 2015 Paper Pad</a> set) was die cut with ODBD's<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html"> Rectangles</a> die. I cut a slightly larger white CS mat. I chose to piece together the lovely skates (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Ice Skate Die</a>) using white, black and silver card stock. I added a bit of lacing (also in the die set) and nestled the pair over a faux pine branch. I created this using the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Pine Branches Die</a> and nestled in a faux pine cone using an old favorite, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html">Pinecones Die</a>. I stamped the sentiment (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Card Greetings</a>) on a rich green DP (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-october.html">Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Pad</a>) and then die cut it with <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-ovals-dies.html">Pierced Ovals Die</a>. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have had so much fun this month playing with the release items from <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs'</a> September release! Today, I have a card with a slightly different feel than some I have posted recently. I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/usa-flag-die.html">USA Flag Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/let-freedom-ring.html">Let Freedom Ring</a> stamp set to pay homage to some of the hardest working people I know, law enforcement. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I forget to say thank you to those who put their lives on the line each and every day to ensure mine is safe. Whether it be police officers, first responders or our local fire departments... they all leave their homes to protect and sometimes save us. I used the die to create a black and white flag with the distant blue line. I stamped the sentiment in black while inking the last word blue in the same colored ink. I added a tiny gold die cut "badge" behind the sentiment panel. This is for all of those who risk it all to keep our communities safe and help those in times of distress.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Today we are taking a look back at <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a> September Release. Here are the projects I created using
<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/let-freedom-ring.html">Let Freedom Ring</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/usa-flag-die.html">USA Flag Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/justice-for-all.html">Justice For All</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stars-and-stripes-6x6-paper-pad.html">Stars and Stripes Paper Pad</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/defining-force.html">Defining Force</a> stamp. For more inspiration using the September
Release be sure to visit the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/09/a-look-back-at-our-daily-bread-designs.html">ODBD Blog</a>. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ssBWEqA7Yo/Wbs4EvTkFxI/AAAAAAAANBc/V9D9imzMsP0NpR0sxlJJU5NIp-C2cOSCwCLcBGAs/s1600/Tea%2BStain%2BFlag%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="265" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ssBWEqA7Yo/Wbs4EvTkFxI/AAAAAAAANBc/V9D9imzMsP0NpR0sxlJJU5NIp-C2cOSCwCLcBGAs/s400/Tea%2BStain%2BFlag%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I opted to give this project a more primitive look by using sand colored card stock instead of the traditional white for my flag (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/usa-flag-die.html">USA Flag Die</a>). I stamped the sentiment (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/let-freedom-ring.html">Let Freedom Ring</a>) on the same CS and added a navy blue die cut mat. To finish off the double layered star, I wove some baker's twine through a natural wood button and added it to the center. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-66Sdo8A9dWA/Wbs5DkX7ejI/AAAAAAAANBk/fGMeaVLNcUYAaPUvqNfF6IoFRVBZIPQUgCLcBGAs/s1600/One%2BNation%2BTexas%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-66Sdo8A9dWA/Wbs5DkX7ejI/AAAAAAAANBk/fGMeaVLNcUYAaPUvqNfF6IoFRVBZIPQUgCLcBGAs/s400/One%2BNation%2BTexas%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been heartbreaking to watch all of the storm damage of late in Texas and now Florida. I have traveled to the Lone Star state several times and absolutely love it. The people are so nice! (My husband says this is because most of the settlers originally came from Tennessee or Kentucky.) :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started with a red card stock base and after adding a slightly smaller white mat die cut a layer from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stars-and-stripes-6x6-paper-pad.html">Stars and Stripes Paper Pad</a>. I love how it already has the flag design! I used an older die (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd53-ornate-hearts-dies.html">Ornate Hearts</a>) to create my Lone Star Flag. I simply cut white, red and blue layers to create it. A white star from another favorite <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd79-sparkling-stars-dies.html">Sparkling Stars</a> tops it off. The sentiment can be found in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/justice-for-all.html">Justice For All</a> stamp set. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And my final card today features the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stars-and-stripes-6x6-paper-pad.html">Stars and Stripes Paper Pad</a> along with a sentiment from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/defining-force.html">Defining Force</a>. I chose to emboss this sentiment on the blue DP with a white embossing powder. I chose a red card stock base to highlight this fun patriotic ray paper. I love how it draws your eye into the sentiment panel! </span></div>

This month is all about red, white and blue. We have a new patriotic paper pad, stamps and beautiful dies to share. I can't wait to share a few of the papers, stamps and dies I had the pleasure of working with this month. So, first I will start with one of the most amazing dies I have ever worked with. It truly is a grand ol' flag!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HezEuLGRY-o/WaXybTQo-bI/AAAAAAAAM_Q/hTf1F3VTtSAAoFxnaVRsHuo22ULQP41EQCLcBGAs/s1600/Traditional%2BFlag%2B2%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HezEuLGRY-o/WaXybTQo-bI/AAAAAAAAM_Q/hTf1F3VTtSAAoFxnaVRsHuo22ULQP41EQCLcBGAs/s400/Traditional%2BFlag%2B2%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This project uses a couple of new items including this beautiful passage on the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">Defining Force</a> stamp set. I started with a 5.5 x 4.25 inch navy card stock base. The flag is the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">USA Flag</a> die cut in white, red and blue card stock and pieced together to make this AMAZING base. Can you see the stitching? This die is SUPER detailed! I reminds me of a lovingly pieced quilt. I used ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html">Double Stitched Rectangles Die</a> (for the red card stock sentiment base) and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html">Rectangles Die</a> (white sentiment panel). I stamped the sentiment in red ink. I just LOVE this sentiment! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I have a deep respect for our military. My husband served in the army.
My father served in Korea as part of the Marine Corps. I also had 3 uncles who served
in WW2 (one was missing in action for several months). One other uncle
served in Korea. Three of my great-uncles also served in WWI. My husband had a great uncle who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWII. A love
for and respect of the military runs deep in our family. It humbles me
to think my savior laid down His life willingly for me. How blessed we
are! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And this lovely distressed card features the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">Stars and Stripes Paper Pad</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">Let Freedom Ring</a> stamp set. I chose a couple of distressed prints from this set for my striped base and star banner. The paper pad set has beautiful coordinating solids as well. In this card, both the sentiment mat (burgundy) and stitched star (navy and burgundy papers) can be found in this paper pad. I chose to stamp the sentiment in a rich navy ink and added a bit of baker's twine (tan and white) to each end of my banner. I also used a few old favorites from my stash including <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circles-dies.html">Circles Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-circles-dies.html">Double Stitched Circles Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd59-pennant-swag-die.html">Pennant Swag Die</a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd79-sparkling-stars-dies.html">Sparkling Stars Die</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-stars-dies.html">Double Stitched Stars Die</a>. </span><br />

The verse from the Star Spangled Banner will be perfect paired with it! </span> <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
One word of note... on my second card, I did cut the designer paper (red and white stripes) and combine two pieces to get one sheet that would cover this card. I strategically covered the seam with the matted blue star paper! I hate to waste any paper! It is too valuable! <br /><em></em></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And speaking of valuable paper, here is the lovely paper pad I pulled DP from. You will also see this used on my final card shown below. I actually took a few pieces from the collection and cut them in such a way to create a cohesive design in the paper. I wanted it to mimic something similar to a patriotic wave of sorts in the background. So I cut two pieces carefully so as to get as close as possible to that goal. I really like how it turned out too. The design is a bit different. Keep in mind this is not a fancy fold that ODBD has but rest assured there are two beautiful new card base sets for you to choose from this month with coordinating matting. You will love them! </span><br />

I stamped the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">USA</a> stamp image on white card stock with navy and red ink. After drying, I fussy cut the image and used it across the bridge of this card with a few red, blue and gold die cut stars. The sentiment (stamped in navy ink) can be found in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">Justice for All</a> stamp set. I mentioned the DP earlier, but it is important to note, the red and navy solids you see used here also came from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017/2017-september.html">Stars and Stripes Paper Pad</a>. I love the fact that coordinating solids are included in the set. It makes it super easy to match up your papers! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Today we are taking a look back at <a href="http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a>'
August Release. Today I have three cards to share including the one
posted here. This card features the August release items, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/teamwork.html">Teamwork</a> stamp set, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/all-star-jersey-clear-stamps.html">All Star Jersey</a> stamp set and coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sports-jerseys-dies.html">Sports Jerseys Die</a>. For more inspiration using the August
Release be sure to visit the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/08/a-look-back-at-our-daily-bread-designs.html">ODBD Blog</a> along with my design team sisters. (The links are at the end of today's post.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the first card, I started with a black card stock base and added a white CS mat. I chose a bit of black and white Designer paper from ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/chalkboard-collection-6x6-paper-pad.html">Chalkboard Paper Collection</a>. And why did I choose these unusual colors! The High School I graduated from... were black and gold! I stamped the jerseys on yellow DP from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/birthday-brights-6x6-paper-pad.html">Birthday Brights Paper Pad</a> and used the coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sports-jerseys-dies.html">Sports Jerseys Die</a> set to cut the gold stamped image and a black CS layer to go underneath. I simply cut along the "sleeves" on the jersey image and nested it on top of the black die cut. I just love the dimension! The phrases also came from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/all-star-jersey-clear-stamps.html">All Star Jersey</a> stamp set. I simply used a black marker to fill in the text. The number one, was created with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sports-jerseys-dies.html">Sports Jerseys Die</a> set. The polka dot DP used came from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/birthday-brights-6x6-paper-pad.html">Birthday Brights Paper Pad</a>. The stars (created with white card stock and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=sparkling+stars">Sparkling Stars Die</a>) were nestled behind and top of the polka dot layer. And for the final touch, I stamped the sentiment (from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/teamwork.html">Teamwork</a> stamp set) with black ink on white CS and used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pennant-flags-dies.html">Pennant Flags Die</a> to die cut and emboss. </div>

It is really hard to find golf related stamps. Even though, my husband DOES NOT golf, I have several friends who do. So I was super excited to see this release! And it has the coordinating die with it! Even better! I started with white card stock for my base and added a base Designer Paper layer from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/boho-bold-paper-pad.html">Boho Bolds Paper Pad</a> (the soft blue and the polka dot design). I sandwiched a white mat CS layer between the two. The final layers, including the sand trap, grass and polka dot sky were framed and die cut with ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html">Pierced Rectangles Die</a>. I created the sand traps using the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/leafy-edged-border-dies.html">Leafy Edged Borders Die</a>. The grass was created with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=grass+hill">Grass Hill Die</a>. The <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ephemera-essentials-paper-pad.html">Ephemera Essentials Paper Pad</a> provided the soft sand DP for my faux "trap." I stamped the image from the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/golf-stamp-die-duos.html">Golf Stamp Die Duo</a> on Copic compatible paper and after coloring used the coordinating die to cut it out. The sentiment may also be found on the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/golf-stamp-die-duos.html">Golf Stamp Die Duo</a>. Copic colors used here... C1, C2, C3,C4, C7, 100<br />

So for today's final card, I worked with some lovely plaids and patriotic colors found in the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/old-glory-paper-pad.html">Old Glory Paper Pad</a>. I also used a soft brown from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ephemera-essentials-paper-pad.html">Ephemera Essentials Paper Pad</a> to create the clipboard. I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/clipboard-set-dies.html">Clipboard Set Die</a> to created the sentiment frame and used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/teamwork.html">Teamwork</a> stamp set for my sentiment. A few stars scattered about (from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=sparkling+stars">Sparkling Stars Die</a> set) add a fun touch. The <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html">Double Stitched Rectangles Die</a> provided the perfect touch for the red sentiment mat. I used a fun blue (Memento's Blue Danube) and red (Lady Bug) for the sentiment itself. A bit of baker's twine tied around the faux clipboard finish it off!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<em> </em></div>
<div>
Here is my first card featuring the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Football Stamp Die Duo...</a></div>
<div>
<em> </em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KjEn-qms-Po/WX_Encg8Z_I/AAAAAAAAM7s/hzEANpMgXLEnIjfLhodIfGFGUcPgpzPhQCLcBGAs/s1600/Touchdown%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1498" data-original-width="1498" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KjEn-qms-Po/WX_Encg8Z_I/AAAAAAAAM7s/hzEANpMgXLEnIjfLhodIfGFGUcPgpzPhQCLcBGAs/s400/Touchdown%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
<em> </em>I started with a polka dotted base (ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/birthday-brights-6x6-paper-pad.html">Birthday Brights Paper Pad</a> and a white mat. I chose a bit of green card stock from my stash and used a die from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html">Double Stitched Rectangles</a> set. I added a few white stripes (to mimic yard lines) and stamped my sentiment (<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases.html">Football Stamp Die Duo</a>) on white card stock. The fun football (also from this set) was colored with Copics. I added the final Touchdown sentiment framed with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pennant-flags-dies.html">Pennant Flags Die</a> set. The new set shown above...</div>
<div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H3obYiHveZM/WX_GTV0QRWI/AAAAAAAAM74/QcqxSkVs4aIe9Aw2LOhtyl-YjvDqWsgTQCLcBGAs/s1600/Football%2BStamp%2BDie%2BDuo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="583" data-original-width="700" height="266" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-H3obYiHveZM/WX_GTV0QRWI/AAAAAAAAM74/QcqxSkVs4aIe9Aw2LOhtyl-YjvDqWsgTQCLcBGAs/s320/Football%2BStamp%2BDie%2BDuo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
So here is another sports themed project using the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Basketball Stamp Die Duo. </a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-amQcE1CZA00/WX_GMzUM87I/AAAAAAAAM70/6GsnIlQZCNUl17SPcMEK9y7NHy9UncecgCLcBGAs/s1600/Praise%2BBe%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-amQcE1CZA00/WX_GMzUM87I/AAAAAAAAM70/6GsnIlQZCNUl17SPcMEK9y7NHy9UncecgCLcBGAs/s400/Praise%2BBe%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div>
I found the burgundy, blue and plaid papers in one of my old favorites, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/old-glory-paper-pad.html">Old Glory Paper Pad</a>. I created a net panel with white card stock and ODBD's <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lattice-background-die.html">Lattice Background Die</a> and nested <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html">Rectangles Die</a>. I stamped the image (from the NEW <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Basketball Stamp Die Duo</a>) with black Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it accordingly. And the new set you see used above...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mE3CXv4N25I/WX_Ho_YsGjI/AAAAAAAAM78/jzuo4MfYC8U9B5PFm6wYTX3T1wK6NfGygCLcBGAs/s1600/Basketball%2BStamp%2BDie%2BDuo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="583" data-original-width="700" height="266" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mE3CXv4N25I/WX_Ho_YsGjI/AAAAAAAAM78/jzuo4MfYC8U9B5PFm6wYTX3T1wK6NfGygCLcBGAs/s320/Basketball%2BStamp%2BDie%2BDuo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
And for my final card today, I chose a couple of NEW sets, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Teamwork</a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">All Star Jersey</a> and coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Sports Jerseys Die.</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-trdbZBdVbyA/WX_IHgr12SI/AAAAAAAAM8A/ZuQxIVIpIAUr3wnTDsEWdNTTHn_IfGLSACLcBGAs/s1600/Glory%2BWM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1383" data-original-width="1383" height="400" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-trdbZBdVbyA/WX_IHgr12SI/AAAAAAAAM8A/ZuQxIVIpIAUr3wnTDsEWdNTTHn_IfGLSACLcBGAs/s400/Glory%2BWM.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My go to paper pad on this project was also the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/old-glory-paper-pad.html">Old Glory Paper Pad</a>. I stamped the sentiment from the NEW <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Team Work</a> stamp set on white card stock and after embossing added a soft sponged blue ink. The jersey (from the NEW <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">All Star Jersey</a>) was stamped on red DP and white card stock before fussy cutting and combining the two. The numeral (also from <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">All Star Jersey</a>) was die cut and embossed using the coordinating <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/new-releases/2017.html">Sports Jerseys Die</a> along with the jersey. A few random stars finish the card. Here are the NEW items you see above...</div>
