Our Daily Bread Designs' Scavenger Hunt and Blog Hop!

Can you believe it is DAY 8 of the Our Daily Bread Designs' Anniversary celebration?  Since this is the final day, Kelley has come up with a fun scavenger hunt of the Design Team blogs.  Plus there is another fun prize!   Three winners with the correct answers will be chosen to receive a $15.00 Gift Code to the ODBD store!!  Winners will be announced on Our Daily Bread Designs' blog March 24, 2016!

AND I have a beautiful card to share using ODBD's Anniversary Release Die set, Filigree Frames and March Releases, Keys Die and Key to Happiness stamp set.

And here are the layers so you can reproduce this slice of pink heaven...

White Card Stock Base measuring 4.25 x 11 inches scored at 5.5 inches and folded

Shabby Rose Paper Collection designer paper by ODBD cut with Flourished Star Pattern Die

Boho Background Die with white Card Stock for lattice layer

***March Anniversary Release *** Filigree Frames Die 

and Double Stitched Rectangles Die layered together to create white CS open frame 

Keys Die - Gold Poster Board to create key (adhered to pink satin bow with liquid adhesive)

Stitched Ovals Die - with white CS for sentiment panel

Key to Happiness stamp set (Onyx Black Versafine Ink)

Misc. - Pink Satin Ribbon

**Creative Nugget** - I adhered my gingham DP panel AFTER I had assembled the layers of my card.  I ran the satin bow BEHIND the panel and adhered it with Scotch tape BEFORE using adhesive to add to the base.  I like the inside of my card to be clean...  no ribbon edges or the like...  I tied the bow separately and added it with liquid adhesive to the ribbon.  And the frame...  has just a bit of dimensional foam under it to give me plenty of clearance to maneuver the ribbon...  

So if you haven't had a chance to check it out...   HOP over to the ODBD Blog HERE to get all the details!  Have fun and have a blessed day!

Marching into Spring with Our Daily Bread Designs

Good morning and welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' March release and blog hop!  Can you hear the birds singing?  I have even spotted a robin in my backyard.  Spring must be right around the corner, right?  But even if Old Man Winter isn't quite finished with us...  we can hole up in our craft rooms and make some beautiful cards, right? 

 

Today, we have new stamp sets and coordinating dies to share.  Plus, if you check the end of today's post, I will share how you could put your name into the hat for a prize.  So let's get started...

 

Here is my first card featuring the new Keys to Happiness

stamp set and coordinating Keys Die...

 

 

I started with a white card stock base and added a die cut mat using ODBD's Flourished Star Pattern Die and a soft floral print using the Double Stitched Rectangles Die.  I used smaller dies from this set to create my sentiment panel and plaid frame.  I used the Beautiful Borders Die to create my lace border and a bit of seam binding to color the seam.  Gold poster board helped make the keys from Keys Die set an easy proposition.  I stamped the sentiment with a rich cocoa ink slightly off center...  since the rectangular die would be peeking out.... 

 

Don't you just love those papers?  Those are from last month's release...

Easter Card Paper Collection and Pastel Paper Pack.  So here are the new items you see used on this project... 

 

 

My first card was a bit shabby...  so this card is a bit more clean and linear... 

 

 

For this project, I chose to work with Kraft, Navy blue and a bit of soft blue and white...  a nice color combo for spring...

 

I used the new Superstar stamp set for my sentiment and framed with ODBD's Splendorous Stars Die.  I used the NEW Double Stitched Stars Die with navy card stock to create my mat.  My faux photo frame is compliments of nesting two dies from the NEW Double Stitched Squares Die.  A few old favorites like the Leafy Edged Borders Die and Pennants Die help add interest.  And check out those itty bitty navy stars stamped right on the paper....  SO CUTE!

 

 

 

For this project I chose a DP from the Blooming Garden Paper Collection and Pastel Paper Collection.  I blended those with my old favorite... Leafy Edged Borders Die.  I just love pulling different collections together like that. 

 

So now here is the information about today's blog hop and how you could win....
