NCC ~ We Scream for Ice Cream ~

I don't believe a truer statement has ever been spoken!  You see,  I am an equal opportunity connoisseur of ice cream!  Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, Butter Pecan...  doesn't make a difference!  And if my choice that day should be vanilla...  I might opt for chocolate sauce, caramel coating or sprinkles.  It is almost overwhelming...  OK...  maybe not!  My absolute favorite???  Chocolate, Peanut Butter...  I think I had a big bowl of it on my mind when I colored this image from

 North Coast Creations'

  Ice Cream set... 

and here is the fun Ice Cream
set... completely calorie free  :-)

I started with an ecru card stock base measuring 5.5 by 4.25 inches.  I added a bit of dark chocolate CS matting with some fun DP from ODBD's Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection,  I also pulled out an ODBD die, Beautiful Borders for the ecru edging.  Our Daily Bread Designs' Antique Labels and Borders Die creates a rich base for Our Daily Bread Designs' Stitched Ovals Die shown here...

I hope you enjoyed stopping by for a bit today.  Here's hoping you have a wonderful Friday!

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' April Release

Welcome friends!  I'm so glad you could join us today for a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs'  April release.  As I type this post, rain is covering the Bluegrass state.  I pray that what they say about April showers bringing May flower is true!  Hopefully, they will be nice and pretty just in time for Derby day!  In the meantime, while we wait on those lovely blossoms to make their appearance, we can appease ourselves with lovely paper posies.  Here is the card I created for our look back using the new How Sweet the Sound stamp set along with a couple of new dies, Layered Lacey Squares and Umbrellas.  There are a host of other ODBD products you see here also.  You can find a complete list at the bottom of today's post.  For more inspiration using the April Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.  But before you peruse all of the Sister Sticks projects, take a look at this shabby creation...

 

I started with a 5.25 x 5.25 sage green card stock base and added a slightly smaller white CS (card stock) mat.  I selected a couple of soft and shabby papers from ODBD's Shabby Rose Paper Collection  and added just a hint of distress ink around the edges.  After layering those together, I pulled out my ODBD die, Beautiful Borders, to create the faux lace with white card stock.  I added a beautiful die from the new Layered Lacey Squares Die on the left hand side and layered up a die cut umbrella (Umbrellas Die) with Kraft paper and some Shabby Rose scraps.  I added a few springs of greenery and branches (Fancy Foliage Die) and a lovely blossom created with the Asters and Leaves Die.  A large adhesive backed pearl graces the center along with a fun pearl flourish strategically placed among the foliage.  I stamped the sentiment (How Sweet the Sound) in a soft sage ink on white card stock and used ODBD's Pennant Die to frame it.  A few random pearls on the faux lace finish this gem off!

 

I just love soft and shabby!

Welcome to the Anniversary Blog Hop at Our Daily Bread Designs!

Did you notice, I mentioned NEW Anniversary stamp sets?  Yep, you heard right.  ODBD has a special release (2 stamps sets) to mark this milestone.  And I am pleased as punch to share them with you.  My first project (or pink palooza) features the new set, God Verses.

  

Today's card measures 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I started with a white card stock base and added a soft pink layer using ODBD's Flourished Star Pattern Die.  I added a soft rose paper from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection and chose soft gingham and wicker weave print (also from this collection) for my layers.  A bit of faux lace compliments of the Beautiful Borders Die peeks out from behind the wicker DP with just a sprinkle of pink adhesive backed pearls for glitz.  I die cut my scripture panel with ODBD's Pennant Die and added a flourish of DP blossoms created with the Asters and Leaves Die set.  And a fancy flourish isn't complete without greenery created with the Fancy Foliage Die and a fun pink pearl flourish layered up for added interest.  

So here's the new God Verses set...

But there is more!  I told you there were TWO sets...  

So here is my second card featuring the new God Quotes set...

This time, I started with a black card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a white mat.  This card features some beautiful chalkboard DP from ODBD's Chalkboard Paper Collection.  I chose to stamp my sentiment on a clean white panel and accent it with a blinged out star (created by nesting two die from the Sparkling Stars Die.  After cutting the star out of chipboard, I added white paint, distress crackle and a bit of crystal coarse glue.  A tiny mulberry rose and greenery from the Fancy Foliage Die fill out the additional space.  

So here's the new set...

And here are a few of the other ODBD products you see today...
