ODBD ~ Hello, Easter Blessings ~

Happy Monday morning!  As we enter one of the holiest weeks on the Christian calendar, I have a card to share featuring a stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs' March release.  I chose to work with the new set, Happy Resurrection Day.

and the stamp set I used shown below... 

I began with a 5.5 x 4.25 inch white card stock base and used the Vintage Flourish Pattern Die to create a soft buttery yellow die overlay and white focal panel.  After cutting out the white focal panel I positioned the Hello Die to cut out the shadow and used a scrap of yellow to cut out the word a second time and position it inside the original white die cut.  This was particularly tricky, since I had to keep up with the tiny white pieces inside the E and O...  

Do you hear the Old McDonald tune in your head too????  :-)

I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a bit of white CS and used ODBD's Vintage Labels Die to highlight it.  A bit of greenery created with the Fancy Foliage Die adorned with mulberry roses adds just a touch of spring to the bottom right hand side.  

So here are a few of the additional ODBD items you see today...

Don't forget to stop back by Wednesday!  ODBD will have the new April sets ready for release!  I can't wait to show them off!  I know you will love them too!

ODBD ~ He is Risen!

Good morning!  I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week.  Monday started a bit rocky for me.  My alarm was 45 minutes off...  and so I was nearly late to work.  I spent 20 minutes rushing to shower, dry my hair, apply makeup, take vitamins and find just the right outfit.  It was a crazy, mad rush to say the least!  However, even with a very rough start to the day, I managed to walk in my office on time and amazingly accomplished every single task I needed to do that morning before arriving at work.  (Except, for remembering my security card...  lol)...  It just goes to show that even in the craziness of life we can stay focused and get the task at hand done.  

So this Easter, my goal is to stay focused on what really matters...  the cross, the empty tomb, the nail scarred hands and feet...  It is through our Savior's sacrifice that we may live eternally...  AND that my friends is definitely worth keeping sight of.  

Blessings...

Today's project featuring Our Daily Bread Designs' Happy Resurrection Day set...

 

I started with a purple card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I added a white mat (embossed with a quatrefoil design) and added a royal purple die cut panel (Vintage Label Dies).  I layered up a white cross die (found in ODBD's Ornamental Crosses Die).  I stamped the sentiment with a coordinating purple ink before using the Pennant Die to frame it.  A few mulberry blossoms rest on the corner with greenery and twigs created using the Fancy Foliage Die.  So what do you think?  How have you been reminded of our Savior's love for us?  

Here are a few of the other ODBD items you see today...

Thanks again for spending just a few moments of your day with me!
