ODBD and Cardmaker Blog Hop!

 Welcome!  Thank you so very much for stopping by!  I am so excited to be a part of today's Our Daily Bread Designs and CardMaker hop!  For today's hop we are taking a look at some of ODBD's Christmas stamps, dies and papers.  I couldn't wait to go through my stash and make another Christmas card for my stash.  For this project I used ODBD's Christmas Tunes stamp set...

I started with a rich burgundy base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I slightly smaller gold card stock mat frames the distressed designer paper from ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  I added a gold rectangular die cut (Double Stitched Rectangles Die) and a curved sentiment (Christmas Tunes) panel created with the Leafy Edged Borders Die.  A paper poinsettia created with ODBD's Peaceful Poinsettias Die and greenery (Fancy Foliage Lovely Leaves Die sets) finish the spray.  I love the contrast of the formal gold card stock with the distressed DP...    

So here are some of the Christmas items you see today...

and some other ODBD products you see...

I hope you are having fun perusing all of the lovely projects featuring Our Daily Bread Design's products.  Your next stop on today's hop is the lovely Gina Williams Cagle.  Thanks again and have a wonderful day!

Another Merry Monday!

Welcome!  Today marks my second Merry Monday post.  Thanksgiving is officially over and I suspect many of you are in the process of digging out your Christmas decorations.  We decided to put up a live tree this year as we normally do.  The experience was a bit different this year...  about 3 feet of difference to be exact.  We normally put up an eight foot tree.  This year we decided we need more room for the mass of Christmas ornaments we have collected over the years.  Well, the tree "fainted" twice...  thankfully without ornaments...  SO we had to buy a slightly larger tree stand to accommodate our vertically challenged fir.  SO now I have a lovely tree in my living room with lights...  I am TOO exhausted from the stress of tree catching to put ornaments up.  **I really think I'm still afraid this towering frasier will yell out "timber" and hit the deck...**

Today, I have a fun embossed card to share using a few items from Our Daily Bread Designs' November release...

I started with a burgundy card stock base and cut a slightly smaller DP from ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  I used watermark ink to stamp the Snowflake Borders Background image around the edges and added a rich gold embossing powder.  After heating, I distressed the edges and placed it on the base with dimensional foam.  I stamped and embossed the sentiment (The Mighty God) on a bit of burgundy card stock and trimmed it down to the desired size.  I added it with dimensional foam also.  I pulled a bit of gold poster board from my stash and used the new Medium Bows Die to create the faux bow.  

Here are the items you see used on today's project...

and an old favorite...

A Look Back at ODBD's November Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs'  November 1st Release.  For today's look back, I chose to use the new Born This Day stamp set, Lovely Leaves Die and Medium Bow Die.  For more inspiration using the November Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

 I started with a white card stock base and added a slightly smaller layer of gold CS and more white.  For my final layer, I pulled out two designer papers from ODBD's Winter Paper Collection and the Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  I used the Leafy Edged Borders Die to add a curved edge to my gold pattern paper before stamping the design with watermark ink on more gold CS.  After embossing with white EP, I trimmed and edged the corners before placing.  A few sprigs of greenery (Lovely Leaves Die) and poinsettia (Peaceful Poinsettias Die and Merry Mosaics Die) adorn the corner with one lone pearl nestled in the center.  I added a fun paper bow in the corner using the new Medium Bow Die.

So here are the new items you see...

and some old favorites...

 

 Please take a few moments to stop by and see what the other design team members have cooked up for you!  Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a blessed day!

ODBD ~ Come Let Us Adore Him ~

Welcome!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Today I have a card that features ZERO stamping!  Now, before you insist that hubs takes my temperature...  I haven't given up stamping!  But when you find a lovely die that can complete your sentiment need...  BAM!

Here's the Adore Him die from this month's Our Daily Bread Designs' release layered on a lovely DP from ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2015...

I started with a Kraft card stock base and added a red mat.  I trimmed the DP down slightly smaller and used ODBD's Antique Labels and Borders Die along with some leftover Kraft paper for my sentiment base.  I even pulled out the Circle Ornaments Die set to create my holly leaves in the corner...  Now wasn't that fun and SUPER easy!  Did I say BAM already????

Here are the new items you see...

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' October Release

Good morning and welcome to a special look back at this month's Our Daily Bread Designs' October 1st release.  Here is the card I created using Christmas Tunes. For more inspiration using the October Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog. I started with a 5.25 x 5.25 rich red card stock base and layered it up.

I chose this sentiment from the new Christmas Tunes set and used the coordinating Vintage Labels Die to cut it out.  A bit of greenery and a lush poinsettia (Fancy Foliage and Peaceful Poinsettias Die) set off the corner.  If you look closely you can even see a couple of jingle bells in the mix!  I adhered two sheets of the new Christmas Paper Collection 2015 pages together and folded them back to create my pocket.  The Doily Die and Ornate Borders and Flowers Die accent it. 

So here are the items you see today...

and some old favorites...

Don't forget to stop by and visit my design team sisters to see what they have created!  Thanks as always for stopping in!
