~ Your Love ~ I Thessalonians 3:13

Welcome!  So very thankful you stopped by for a minute.  Today, I have a card using one of Our Daily Bread Designs' past releases, Love Scriptures.

 

 

This week, I stamped the sentiment on vellum (Versamark Embossing Ink) and used a white embossing powder to make it pop.  I used a die to frame/cut the sentiment and highlighted it with foliage from Fancy Foliage Die.

 

Here's the card...

~ Love ~

Welcome!  So glad you stopped by!  I have an un"bee"lieveable card for you!  It's a real "honey!" 

 

***So sorry!  I couldn't resist an opportunity to be corny!***

 

  I'm trying to clean out my paper scrap stash.  I found some fun leftovers with a "bee" theme. They came in right handy, since I need a bee themed card for a special friend.  She wanted a card for a special bride who loves anything "bee" related.  And since the gift she has chosen has black and white polka dots...  you get the picture!  It fits the bill! 

 

I chose a favorite scripture passage from I Thessalonians.  The card base is black card stock with a layer of white and black.  I trimmed my honeycomb paper slightly smaller and inked it with a black soot distress ink.  I added the bee theme paper with black matting and cut out a fun polka dot print.  This time I chose to mat it with both white and black.  I cut the sentiment out (stamped with black Versafine ink) and added a black scalloped mat.  I stamped the bee (found in Our Daily Bread Designs' Zinnia ) on Copic compatible paper and colored.  Glitter glue adorns the wings.  The coordinating die (Zinnia and Leaves Die) cut the little guy out just perfectly.  I used ODBD's Asters and Leaves Die to create my floral spray.  Super easy!  And so satisfying to clear our my scrap stash!  :-)

 

Here's some of the items I used today...

~ Pleasant Words ~

Good Monday morning!  It has been an interesting few days here at Ulrich central.  After seven years, hubs and I shipped all but one of our sheep for sale.  I'm a bit melancholy.  As much trouble as they were, I already miss them!  We kept one lone male lamb.  We will raise him and let him go to his new home next year.  His plaintive bleats as he searches for the flock that is no more, breaks my heart.  It is difficult to wander through life without direction, void of compass or map.  I am so thankful I serve a risen Savior who provides comfort and guidance.  For without Him, I would wander...  seeking something but not knowing what...

 

Today's card featuring a past set from Our Daily Bread Designs, Bee Happy...

 

Products you see...

 

 

 

 

 

 

My card base measures 4.25 x 5 inches and is made with smooth black card stock.  I added a slightly smaller white mat and finished with a honeycomb embossed gold layer.  I used the Circle Ornament Dies to create my cut out layers for the sentiment.  I added a bit of greenery from the Fancy Foliage Die with some white blossoms created from the Asters and Leaves Die.  I added a bit of black micro beads in acrylic glue to each center.  The bee, (Zinnia set) has just a bit of Copic color and some diamond glitter embellished wings.  This is such a happy card, don't you think? 

 

Until next time...

 

Blessings...



WAW130 ~ Galatians 6:9 ~ Let Us Not Be Weary

Welcome!  It's time for another 

fabulous and inspirational challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  

Check out the Word Art Wednesday site for all of the details including this week's digital scripture, how to link your creation AND info on some fabulous prizes! 

 

A special thank you to Flying Unicorn and Pink Persimmon for providing our prizes this week!  We appreciate your sponsorship so much! 

And here is my card for the week featuring a beautiful verse from Galatians.

I used a kraft card stock base with a slightly smaller black CS mat.  I printed the scripture directly on a worn looking DP by Glitz, slightly off center.  I used a paper crimper on some scraps of kraft paper and created a banner accented with jute, die cut leaves, a scrap of lace and an aged blossom.  So easy! 

Don't forget to stop back by Thursday to see what I have for Our Daily Bread Designs' Release day!  It promises to be fun!

Today's card was based on a sketch shown here...

A Look Back at ODBD's March Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' March Release.  Here is the card I created for today using Sweeter Than Honey, Zinnia, Beautiful Borders Die (an older release), Zinnia and Leaves Die and the new Blooming Garden Paper Collection. 

 

 

Today's card incorporated a sketch along with two coordinating DP's from the new Blooming Gardens Paper Collection.  The card base is a warm yellow with a double layer of ecru and pink card stock.  A lacy die cut (Beautiful Borders Die) rests under the skewed panel with sentiment.  I colored the honey jar with Copics and after fussy cutting added a bit of pink and white Baker's twine.  The honey bees came from the Zinnia and Bee Happy sets.  The Zinnia set has a coordinating Zinnia and Leaves Die set which makes cutting the bee a breeze.  But to show the versatility, I opted to hand cut the one from the Bee Happy set.  A bit of dimensional foam and some glitter glue...  so FUN! 

 

Here's the ODBD products I used...

 

 

 

Thanks for spending a few moments of your day here!!

~ The Ends of the Earth ~

Welcome to my little corner of the world!  I hope this post finds you well.  Things have been busy around here as I prepare for the end of the work week.  

Today I have a simple card featuring a stamp and die set from Our Daily Bread Designs' March release along with a stamp from the new Anniversary Release. 

If you haven't had a chance to check them out please do.  The designer paper is also from an Our Daily Bread Designs product, the Blooming Garden Paper Collection.

I stamped the sentiment (Scripture Collection 12) directly on the DP.  The card base is white card stock with a double layer of moss green and sunflower yellow.  The zinnias (Zinnia stamp set) were stamped on Copic compatible paper and colored a soft yellow and pale lavender.  I staggered the images with dimensional foam and added die cut leaves (Zinnia and Leaves Die).

 

Here are the ODBD products I used...

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Don't forget to pay a visit tomorrow as the Our Daily Bread Design Team will revisit the March release.  It promises to be a great day!

ODBD ~ A Friend ~

 Good Friday morning!!  Thanks for taking a few moments out of your day to drop by.  Things are busy here.  I've spent several days this week on the road traveling with my job and as such haven't had as much time to craft.  :-(  I do want to share a card I created using some of the new releases at Our Daily Bread Designs.  If you haven't had a chance to check this new collection out, please do!  I love harbingers of spring and you know when flower stamps come out...  it MUST be on it's way!   

 

I started with a white card stock base (4.25 x 5.5) and added a distressed DP from ODBD's Blooming Garden Paper Collection.  I bet you didn't know that ODBD ventured into designer paper.  And the beauty of each collection...  they coordinate with the ODBD stamps I have!  Now that makes crafting SO easy! 

I then added a die cut using ODBD's Daisy Chain Background Die.  The layered Zinnia was colored with Copics and die cut using the Zinnia and Leaves Die.  You can also find the cute lady bug die on that same set!  I stamped my sentiment on white CS and used ODBD's Antique Labels and Border Die to frame it.  Now if those daffodils would just peek their pretty little yellow heads out...  ***sigh***

 

Here's a look at the products I used

 

Thanks again for stopping by!  Don't forget to visit in the coming days as I have a new release to share for North Coast Creations.  It promises to be fun!

FS369 ~ Blue Hawaii ~

 

Happy Saturday!  It is a beautiful day here in the bluegrass state.  I took the opportunity to mop my floors, do some grocery shopping and clean my car!  And even though I am just a little tired, it was well worth it!  I hope this day finds you doing the things that matter to you.  

 

Today I am sharing a card I created to for the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast.  I used a simple blue and white color scheme, embossing the focal mat with a "Hawaiian" themed embossing folder..."  Now, if I were only soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches there...  **sigh**

I inked the sentiment in Memento's Danube Blue and framed the sentiment panel with some lovely blossoms from my stash.  The ladybug stamp may be found in this month's Our Daily Bread Designs release, Zinnia.  And the lovely scripture may be found in ODBD's Bee Happy set.  Aren't they yummy???

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time...

 

Blessings!!!!

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

Good morning!  Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs'  March release!  I am SO excited to share this month's release with you!  If you are in the mood for spring (and who isn't????) this is the perfect release for you!  Flowers, sweet sentiments and bees, oh my! 

 

And to make browsing our design teams' projects even more special, three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs.  The winners will receive a $25 gift certificate to the ODBD Store, to be used toward the purchase of Our Daily Bread Designs' stamps.  You have until March 2, 2014 at 9PM EST to make  your comments!  The winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on March 3rd, so be sure to check the ODBD Blog to see if you are a winner! 

 

So on to the projects I have for you including one featuring a new background die, Daisy Chain...

 

I used gold for the card base with a layer of white and black.  I topped those with the new Daisy Chain Background die cut.  I stamped the sentiment on white and framed it with the honey jar and wand stamped by masking the two together.  Each were colored with Copics and then fussy cut.  I added a bit of dimensional glaze to the jar for added depth.  The bee (found on the Zinnia set) was die cut with the coordinating Zinnia and Leaves Die.  A little dab of glitter glue makes my little bee shine! 

 

And the products you see here...
