ODBD ~ Some Gave All ~

 

Good morning friends! 

So glad you could stop by for a bit.  Today I have a new card for me...  a Z fold created with the new Some Gave All set by Our Daily Bread Designs. 

 

Here's a photo of the outside all closed up neatly with a scrap ribbon bow....

 

 

the inside with a fabulous eagle image from this set and scripture from the Book of Romans...

 

 

Here's a closer view of the inside panel.  I

 chose not to color the image but use a sepia ink...

 

 

I secured the bow with the die cut sentiment.  The panel has dimensional foam on the back and was glued strategically to cover / hold the ribbon.  I placed pearls around the edge of the bottom die cut layer to add a bit of pizzazz.  (I know it is a guy card but guys need bling, right?)

 

  I chose a Kraft card stock for my base and matted each layer with navy.  The DPs are from a Bo Bunny collection I received a year or so back.  I like the masculine feel they provide.  (Even if there is a bit of bling...  lol)  

 

As always thanks for stopping by and until next time...

 

Blessings...

ODBD's June Release and Blog Hop!

Welcome to the June Our Daily Bread Designs Release Blog Hop!

 

If you arrived here from the delightful Julie's blog, you are in the right place!  If not, you might want to return to the ODBD Blog and start from there so you don't miss a thing! 

 

Briefly, here are the details of the hop:

 

The Hop will run from June 1st 8:00am to June 2nd 8:00pm EDT

Winners will be announced June 3rd on the ODBD blog

There will be  FOUR PRIZES of $15, $20, $30 and $40 gift certificates redeemable for STAMPS in the ODBD Store.

To qualify to win, all you have to do is hop to each of the designers, leave a comment and return to the ODBD Blog to tell us you completed the hop, and let us know of any difficulties you had along the way.

 

Now... on to my project details...  I have two cards to share today using 3 of the new sets...

 

The first card (an easel card) uses Home of the Free for the scripture panel (shown below the eagle) and Some Gave All for the eagle image and sentiment shown on the bottom panel. 

 

 

Here's a better side view.  I stamped the eagle on coordinating DP and lightly colored the image with colored pencils.  The stars have just a dab of glitter glue to reflect light. 

 

 

Here are photos of the sets... 

 

 

 

 

I can't imagine how your heart wouldn't swell with pride when using these sets!  We are so very blessed to live in such a wonderful country! 

 

And if those aren't darling enough, there's this precious image, Precious Girl colored with Copics...

 

 

 

So what do you think?  I love them all!  ;-) 

With July 4th coming up and a bevy of baby showers and dedications, these gems will come in handy! 

From here, you will hop to the fabulous Kathy's Blog .

WAW82 & MOJO295 ~ Proverbs 14:26 ~

Good morning and welcome to another fun and inspirational challenge at Word Art Wednesday .  Check out the WAW site for all the details including this week's digital scripture image, how to link your creation AND info on our fabulous prizes!  Thank you to Pink Persimmon Stamps and Scripture by Design for sponsoring this week's challenge!

 

I based this week's card on a sketch using coordinating DP by Bo Bunny...

I printed this week's scripture on a piece of DP and matted it with black card stock.  The central die is a quatrefoil die I received from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I didn't know there was such an interesting story behind quatrefoils and their connection to Christianity!  Super cool!  I added a die cut flourish and a spray of blossoms from my collection.  I elected to add a bit of paper punched greenery and a cream pearl flourish cut placed strategically for visual appeal.  I tucked a bit of paper punched paper behind the die as well for a bit of interest.  It reminds me of iron railing.  I love putting those type of elements with flowers!  It's one of my favorite combos! 

 

Thanks so much for stopping in! 

 

 Until next time...  blessings....

Cardabilities 75 ~ Tranquility ~

It's time to work on a sketch!  And I chose to go with this week's Cardabilities' Sketch.  I pulled out a few recent releases from Our Daily Bread Designs to showcase a nautical theme. 

 

I chose to stamp my image with a sepia ink on a Kraft tag.  I added a fun border from Our Daily Bread Designs' new Cathedral Window and Border Die shown here...

 

 

The image and sentiment come from Our Daily Bread Designs' Fishing and The Waves on the Sea

sets. 

 

 

 

I just love the manly feel of this one!  Thanks for stopping in!  Until next time...  blessings...

Word Art Wednesday ~ 2 Thessalonians 3:3 ~

Good morning and welcome to another fun and inspirational challenge at Word Art Wednesday .  Check out the WAW site for all the details including this week's digital scripture image, how to link your creation AND info on our fabulous prizes!  Thank you to V's Sweet Ideas  for sponsoring this week's challenge!

 

This has been a challenging week physically and emotionally at the Ulrich house.  Mr. Graves (Graves Disease) has kicked into high gear again and I am awaiting test results to determine the course of action.  I covet your continued prayers as we deal with this and decide what my physicians will do.  I know the Great Physician can heal anything as long as it is in His will....  My dear, sweet husband will be going through surgery as well in the coming month.  (We are just a mess...  lol...)  Please remember us both.  

 

I do want to share a praise!  God allowed His most tender mercies this week.  I was physically unable to make anything...  frustrating to say the least!  My team member and prayer warrior, Karen, took time to lift up my problems and God answered!  I was able to put something together after struggling so mightily to even get off the couch!  Praise be to God!  He always provides!  So here it is using a wonderfully appropriate scripture from 2 Thessalonians...

  

I opted to use this week's Mojo Sketch for my inspiration with some coordinating papers by American Crafts.  I printed the verse directly on DP trimming and matting it with Kraft paper.  A seam binding bow and wooden button add to the rustic feel.  The papers remind me of a beautiful quilt in Grandmother's trunk.  So pretty!  Thanks for stopping in and until next time...  Blessings...

and the adorable stamp set...

 

 

I used a dimensional glaze for my second card to give my vanilla cone a little shine.  And the ice cream scoop (card number 1) got a dose of stickles...   Both images were fussy cut and hand pieced.  I think it adds so much depth!  I even added a bit of glaze to the cherry!  I just love this set!  I will be using this one a great deal this summer...  ice cream socials...  picnic invites...  birthdays....  thank you cards...  WHEW!!!  You can get a great deal of mileage out of these!  Thanks for stopping by...  Don't forget to check out my sister Coasters and their great creations AND make sure to leave a comment at each stop to be in our drawing!!!  ;-)

WAW80 ~ Isaiah 40:29 ~

Good morning and welcome to another fun and inspirational challenge at Word Art Wednesday .  Check out the WAW site for all the details including this week's digital scripture image, how to link your creation AND info on our fabulous prizes!  Thank you to Heart & Soul Rubber Stamps  and Digi Darla's  for sponsoring this week's challenge. 

 

Here's a clean and simple card I created this week using a wonderfully uplifting verse from the book of Isaiah.  I struggle with simple cards and this particular verse gave me courage...

 

 

I opted to go with a Kraft base, a light olive card stock and white distressed scripture base.  I printed this week's scripture directly on the white card stock panel and embellished it with a die cut branch and hand crafted dogwood blossom.  I think the scripture says it all, don't you?  Thanks for stopping in and until next time... 

 

Blessings...
