A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release

Good morning and welcome to a special look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December release.  I have a couple of projects featuring a special 3D die along with some fun stamp sets, perfect for Christmas crafting.  Here is the first item, featuring the Card Caddy & Gift Bag Dies.

The sentiment is from the White as Snow stamp die duo.  I framed the sentiment using the Mini Tags Die and attached it with a key ring created with gold card stock and ODBD's Keys Die set.  I used two cuts (in white card stock and gold, overlapped) to create my edging.  This die can be found in the Gift Bag Handles & Topper Die.  The poinsettia design is a special inset that can be used with the Card Caddy & Gift Bag Die to create this special bag.  The poinsettia design is known as the Poinsettia Inset Die.

So now for a fun card featuring the new Holly Leaves Die.

I love this split panel.  I used a deep green card stock base with a bit of red CS matting.  I used ODBD's Pierced Rectangles Die to create the designer paper base with coordinating papers from  ODBD's Holly Jolly Collection.  I used the Curvy Slopes Die to delineate the two and added my focal layer on top.  I stamped two sets of holly, colored each, added a sentiment and finished it off with the Rectangles Die.  I added a bit of glitter ink and Glossy Accents over each holly berry and let dry.  Once the panel was set, I added a bit of red ribbon.  

Here are the December items you see here today...

Don't forget to visit all of my design team sisters to see what they have up their sleeves!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' February Release and Blog Hop!

Good morning and welcome to the February release at Our Daily Bread Designs!  We offered a special sneak peek a few weeks ago and a chance to buy some of the items bundled.  So if you didn't have a chance to then...  take a moment and stroll through the items the Design Team as for you!  I opted to use a few items from this release including the Glorious Gable Box Die, Mini Label Die, Hugs & Kisses stamp set, Layering Hearts Die, Tulip Heart Die and Let Love Grow stamp set.

And this month, three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 Gift Code to the ODBD Website  just for commenting on the Design Team cards!  You have until February 2, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. EST to leave your comments on the Designers Blogs for a chance to win!  The Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on February 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

So let's begin with a fun treat box that I whipped up for St. Patrick's Day...

I started with green card stock and the new Glorious Gable Box Die.  I stamped my sentiment (Hugs & Kisses) on white card stock and used the new Mini Label Die set to create the sentiment panel and frame.  I added a tiny golden "shamrock" using an old favorite, Bitty Blossoms Die.

And the new items you see...

along with an old favorite...

And now my second project using Let Love Grow, Layering Hearts Die, Tulip Hearts Die, Glorious Gable Box Die...

I started with a 4.5 x 5.5 red card stock base adding a bit of white and red card stock, DP from the Shabby Rose Collection and the Pierced Rectangles Die to create three layers.  I then used the Glorious Gable Box Die (top panel of box) layered end to end to create the filigree panel on my white CS layer.  I pulled out my Leafy Edged Borders Die to create the scalloped edge and then stamped the sentiment (Let Love Grow) with Versamark.  A bit of white embossing powder and my trusty heat gun finished it off.  After cooling, I added three flat backed pearls.  I finished the card with a white heart (Tulip Heart Die) and red card stock backing (Layering Hearts Die.)  A bit of dimensional foam makes it pop!

So here are the new items you see...

and a few old favorites...

 

So now I will send you on your way to check out all of the lovely projects featuring this new release.  Don't forget to leave some love as you hop along for your chance to win!  And if you get lost along the way click HERE to get your bearings.

Our Daily Bread Designs' June Release and Blog Hop

Good morning and welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' June release and Blog Hop!  We have so many items to share today, including items perfect for creating masculine cards, birthday projects and everyday occasions!  

Don't forget to check the end of today's post for details on how you can hop along and enter for a chance to win!  

But first, I have a fun card featuring the new Armor of God stamp set to share...

I started with a black card stock base measuring 4.25 inches wide by 11 inches long, scoring and folding at 5.5 inches.  I cut an ever so slightly smaller red designer paper panel using ODBD's Old Glory Paper Pad.  I created the metallic mat using the Majestic Medallion Die with silver poster board.  I distressed the embossed panel with Metallic Rub-ons in Pewter and Gunmetal.  I stamped the image twice on Copic compatible paper (Neenah Solar Crest) and colored my image (from ODBD's new Armor of God set), fussy cutting the sword on the second image.  

Copic Colors - C1, C3 & C5 (armor)

R24, R27 & R29 (cross)

I used the Pierced Rectangles Die to cut out one of my armor images and cut a slightly smaller red mat out of red DP from the Old Glory Paper Pad.  I stamped my sentiment with Real Red ink on white card stock, die cutting the sentiment with the Pierced Ovals Die.  I used the Ovals Die and black card stock to create the sentiment base.  After placing my sentiment panel where desired, I added my fussy cut sword with glue to give it a dimensional look.

So here is the new stamp set you see used today...

And for my second card, I chose the Sending My Love set, Birthday Bash Paper Collection, Birthday Brights Paper Pad AND Balloons & Streamers Die...

I started with a white card stock base and added a slightly smaller yellow mat (ODBD's Birthday Brights Paper Pad) and stacking a die cut lime green paper also in the same DP set.  I chose a lovely DP from the new Birthday Bash Paper Collection  die cutting it and the lime mat with ODBD's Pierced Rectangles Die.  ODBD's new Sending My Love  set includes the word Sending die (cut here in yellow) and a host of stamps to add just the perfect sentiment.  I added mine with black ink to a white sentiment panel (ODBD's Pierced Ovals).  The new Balloons & Streamers Die allowed me to create my own plethora of perfectly matched balloons!

Here are the new items you see...

and a few old favorites you see today also...

  

So now here are the details for today's blog hop!  The complete list of our designers is below!

F4A327~ You're Sweet ~

This week's Free 4 All Friday Challenge at SCS (Splitcoaststampers) is to make a card that reflects what you like to do, or wish you could do, in your free time.  Unfortunately, like many others, I have zero free time.  I keep telling myself that if I budgeted my time better...  but with job demands, life demands...  we've all been there, right?  

So for me, I would love to have time to have a real flower garden.  Specifically, I would like a heritage garden full of hollyhocks, sweet peas and roses...  lavender...  you get the idea!  I love the idea of having a beautiful garden like something my great grandmother would have had!

So for today's challenge I colored a couple of rose images from Our Daily Bread Designs' Tea Time stamp set and went to work.
