Our Daily Bread Designs' Bronze Anniversary

Good morning and welcome to a very special release day at Our Daily Bread Designs!  This year marks 8 years that Our Daily Bread Designs has been in business!  I was blessed to discover ODBD several years ago when I was looking for stamps that reflected my Christian faith.  I have been even more blessed to be a part of ODBD's design team over the last few years.  Kelley and Rick Holland have blessed many people with their lovely stamps, dies and papers.  And I have been honored to work for them and with one of the best group of designers in the business.  Here's to many more years sharing these wonderful products!

And 8th Anniversary is a very special one.  And bronze is the traditional gift for this anniversary.  A few of my DT sisters have some lovely "bronze" projects to share.  AND at the end of today's post, be sure to check out how you can hop along and possibly win a fun anniversary prize!  Here is my project using the March stamp release, Keys to Happiness!

I know you can't wait to see all of the other beautiful creations, so let's hop right into my projects this month...

 

 

 

 

Today's card features a couple of new items this month including the Pennant Row (Believe banner) stamp set and coordinating Pennant Row Die shown below.  What makes this so fun?  The stamps are aligned for you.  So I just added the word believe to my block, stamped the pennant in brown ink and used the coordinating die to cut it.  I added a few bits of baker's twine at each end... 

Aren't these just divine???

 

 

and a few other ODBD dies including...

Fancy Foliage Die

 

 

Ornate Hearts Die 

(hollowed out heart and pale pink border on top)

 



 

Asters and Leaves Die

(the fabulous flower you see)

 



 

and the ODBD's yummy Blushing Rose Collection...

(2 sheets - a smaller rose print revealed by the heart die and the fence panel on top...)

 



 

And now for my second card in honor of July 4th and a special member of my family who served...

 

 

This shabby creation features the new Patriotic Pennants (Sentiment) and Pennant Alphabet (USA banner) stamp sets along with the new Pennants Die (Flag sentiment & Flag Pole) and Pennants Row Die (USA swag).

 

 

 







I also used the following ODBD products above...
