~ 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

and the fun Side Step Card Die PLUS the Scalloped Rectangles 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...

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' March Release

Can you believe it is ALREADY the 20th of March?  It seems like the month is just flying by!  My daffodils are peeking hesitantly out of the ground and the bunnies seem to have a new spring in their hop.  Speaking of spring...  it has been a joy to share some of the new products from Our Daily Bread Designs this month!  And since it is mid month, we taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' March Release.   Here are a couple of cards I created using Basket of Blessings along with the new Shabby Rose Paper Collection.  For more inspiration using the February Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

I started with a 5 x 5 inch burgundy card base and added a Kraft mat.  I used coordinating papers from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection for my background papers, eggs and tiny blossoms.  I stamped the basket image on Neenah Solar Crest and colored with with Copics before fussy cutting.  I added my die cut eggs, grass and greenery before adhering to the card.  I stamped my sentiment on white card stock and cut a tag using ODBD's Mini Tags Die.

Here's the new items you see...

Eggs Die

 

Grass Border Die
