~ Proud to Be an American ~

Good morning and thanks so much for stopping by!  Today, I have a simple card to share with three of my favorite colors...  red, white and blue!  You may think I am a bit late showing this card on July 5th.  However, I beg to differ!  If you saw my home, you would know how much I love to decorate with those three colors.  From bedding to outdoor bunting, you will see these colors in my home year round.  I share this love of country with many people.  I find in my travels that Americans are very proud of their country.  In my opinion, it is a shame that we feel we must limit displays of that love to one or two times a year!  I say shout it from the rooftops ALL YEAR long!  So with that in mind, here is a fun card using a few of Our Daily Bread Designs latest releases.

Pennant Alphabet Solid

 

 

Pennant Dies

 



and an oldie but a goodie...

Heart & Soul

 

 

and coordinating die

Ornate Hearts

 

 

I used navy card stock for my base and added a white card stock mat.  The final embossed layer (red card stock) showcases my stamped heart.  I inked the top with dark blue ink, carefully using scotch tape to cover the line.  I then removed the tape and inked the bottom with red.  Once I loaded the stamp with ink, I lightly huffed on the entire stamp to warm the ink and stamped the image on white card stock.  I used the coordinating die to cut out.  I stamped the letters (U, S & A) in alternating colors as shown and used the Pennants die to cut them out.  I added all three with baker's twine and voila!  Very easy! 

 

Hope you and yours had a wonderful 4th of July!  God Bless my friend and God Bless America!

Happy 6th Anniversary Our Daily Bread Designs!

Good morning dear friends!  I have a very special celebration to share.  This month, Kelley and Rick Holland, celebrate 6 years of creating beautiful and inspirational stamps at Our Daily Bread Designs.  It is an honor to work for such a wonderful family and I am blessed to have made so many fabulous friends on this journey!  Happy Anniversary to Kelley, Rick and Our Daily Bread Designs!  Here's to many more to come!

 

Now you can't have an anniversary without a party!  So to celebrate we are having a blog hop!  Three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs.  They will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the ODBD store to be used toward the purchase of ODBD stamps.  ONE LUCKY commenter will be randomly chosen to win the 2014 ANNIVERSARY BUNDLE!!!!!  You have until March 18, 2014 at 9:00PM EDT to leave your comments!  The winners will be posted on the ODBD blog on March 19th.  Be sure to check there to see if you have won! 

 

Each year the team submits a quote, sentiment or scripture that speaks to our heart.  Kelley and crew go to work creating a stamp with the chosen words.  I selected a scripture from the book of Mark that comforts my heart when times are tough...

 

 

I used a couple of layers of pink card stock before adding some lovely designer paper from ODBD's Heart and Soul Collection.  Several layers of white and pink die cuts nestle under the sentiment panel.  A few mulberry roses garnish the side and if you look closely you will see a few pearls scattered around the corners.

 

Scripture Collection 12

 

 

 

For my second project I chose a lovely sentiment chosen by one of my team members from the book of Psalms and included in this lovely collection...

 

 

This time I chose a deep pink card stock to coordinate with designer papers from ODBD's Heart and Soul Collection.  Look closely and you will see the Quatrefoil Pattern Die and another classic image Grow in Grace.  I fussy cut bits of a second stamping of the dogwood image and glued them onto the first die cut.  It gives the illusion of the flower going off the page.

 

Here's a closer look.  See the Flower Soft centers? 

 

 

Here are some of the other products I used along with the Scripture Collection 12 set.

FS368 ~ Love ~

Yes, I realize Valentine's Day is over!  But shouldn't we celebrate romance and LOVE ALL year long?  Isn't it important to make that special someone feel just that...  SPECIAL...  ALL the time?  So today, I'm sharing a card that will be a JUST BECAUSE I ADORE you card!  I want hubs to know I appreciate him each and every day!  This week, I haven't been the easiest to live with.  (A nasty respiratory issue invaded my house and took me captive...)  So here's to all those ordinary days that are truly extraordinary because I share it with hubs! 

 

The card inspired by this week's

SCS Featured Stamper, Dawn...

 

 

 

 

Some of the products...

 

Heart of Joy

 

 

Ornate Hearts Die

 



God's Love

 

Heart and Soul Paper Collection

 

 

I used a few more layers on this design than the original inspiration card.  I inked the hearts up with Memento Rhubarb Stalk and cut them out using the Ornate Hearts Die before adding with dimensional foam.  I lightly colored the word LOVE (stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo) with Copics R81 (aptly named Rose Pink.)  I sure hope he likes it! 

 

Thanks as always for stopping by!  Until next time...  blessings...
