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...

Merry Monday ~ A Flowerpot Card ~

Good morning! Today, I have a flower pot card featuring some of the items from Our Daily Bread Designs.

I used ODBD's Flower Pot Card to create my card base, adding custom trimmed paper from the new Pastel Paper Pack and lace trim created with the Beautiful Borders Die set. I lined the sentiment panel (which slides in the pot) with coordinating paper and stamped a lovely sentiment from the new Many Thanks stamp set. I added a custom blossom created with ODBD's Pretty Posies Die. I created all of these blossoms and leaves with white card stock and then colored the center of each blossom with a soft yellow distress die and the petals with a rich purple distress ink. After each blossom dried, I spritzed it with water and then used a mouse pad, shaping tool and my fingers to shape and distress each blossom. After they dried to the shape I wanted, I glued the desired layers together. I have one larger blossom on the sentiment panel (which slides into the pot) and two smaller blossoms glued to the pot. I added a few foliage sprigs from ODBD's Fancy Foliage Die. I chose a simple sentiment from the Many Thanks stamp set and stamped it on the bottom corner. A couple of DP scraps and this cute Easter Eggs Die helped create this two layer egg adorning the other corner.

Here is the card with the sentiment panel removed...
