Mid Month Bonus Die Release at Our Daily Bread Designs

There is a certain serendipity in the little surprises in life.  Like when the person in front of you at the fast food drive thru pays for your coffee or when a thoughtful motorist stops and lets you cross the parking lot.  It's the simple things that bring a smile to your face and thankfulness to your heart.  Today, Our Daily Bread Designs has pulled together a collection of dies as a special mid month release.  And I have a couple of projects to share featuring them.  

First a special Lily Die that coordinates with the lovely Beauty stamp set. 

I started with a card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I cut a light mint DP for the base from ODBD's Pastel Paper Collection and used the Flourished Star Pattern Die with white card stock for the next layer.  ODBD's Double Stitched Rectangles Die set and polka dot DP from the Pastel Paper Collection create the final layer.  I added a sentiment layer and mat using the Stitched Ovals Die.  I chose my sentiment (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black) from ODBD's February stamp set, Many Thanks.  I stamped the image (ODBD's Beauty) on Copic compatible paper and after coloring used the NEW coordinating Lily Die to cut it out.  I added a bit of foliage (Fancy Foliage Die) along with a pearl flourish.  

So here is the new die...

which coordinates with this set...

And I used this February release for my sentiment...

And here is a fun tag I created using the new Lily Die and 

Tag Trio Die...

I used the Tag Trio Die to create a polka dot tag and added a white card stock frilly tag also created with this set.  I used ODBD's With Much Thanks stamp set for the sentiment and added another colored image (Beauty) to the bottom.  A bit of seam binding helps me tie it all together and adorn the gift.  

Here are the new items you see...  

 

Tag Trio Die 

With Many Thanks

Stitched Ovals Die

A Look Back at ODBD's September Mid Month Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' September Mid Month Release. Here is the card I created using the Beauty stamp set, Pretty Posies Die and Leafy Edged Borders Die.  For more inspiration using the September Mid Month Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

 I started with an ecru card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches and added a lovely design paper pattern from ODBD's Soulful Stitches Paper Collection.  I used the new Leafy Edged Borders Die to create my DP, ecru CS and gold poster board layers.  I cut out multiple flower layers from ecru card stock and inked the centers with a soft yellow distress ink and the edges with a light pink ink.  After inking, I spritzed the flowers lightly with water and pinched each petal between my fingertips for depth.  After drying, I glued layers together, staggering each to overlap and finished the flower with a cluster of pearls glued in the center.  I cut my leaves out of ecru card stock also and inked it up with light green ink.  I used a bit of wire (yes, wire) to thread my lace on and twisted the ends together to make the lace collar.  I added the flower and leaves to the lace with hot glue.  **Creative tip**  I used ODBD's Circle Ornaments Die to cut a circular base to mount the lace collar and flower on.  After it dried, I added the entire embellishment to my card.    I stamped my sentiment on a bit of ecru paper and finished it up with ODBD's Pennants Die.

So here's a close up of the blossom...

And the new items from September's mid month release...

 and a few older favorites too...

Don't forget to visit my design team sisters today and see what project they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by!

Surprise!!! A Mid Month Release at Our Daily Bread Designs!

Good morning!  Welcome to a special mid-month release blog hop at Our Daily Bread Designs!  This month Our Daily Bread Designs has some many new products, they couldn't stop with one release!  So today, I get to show you some new STAMPS and DIES just for this special mid month release!  And they are AMAZING!!!!  But ODBD stuff is always amazing!!!!

It's almost like getting dessert twice with you meal and not gaining a pound!!!  **if only that happened in real life**  And if a second release of amazing products isn't enough...  we are having ANOTHER blog hop this month, with DRUM ROLL PLEASE****  A CHANCE TO WIN A $25 GIFT CERTIFICATE TO THE ODBD STORE!!!!  Woot, Woot!!!!  Be sure to check out all the deets on this special blog hop and how you may qualify to win at the end of this post...  

So let's go straight to card number #1 

featuring the new Beauty   

stamp set AND the new Leafy Edged Borders Die...

I started with a rich raspberry card stock base (4.5 x 5 inches) and added a white card stock mat.  I used the new Leafy Edged Borders Die  to cut my white lace layer, silver poster board layer and designer paper over lay.  I stamped my image with Memento Ink on Copic compatible paper and colored it to resemble a stargazer lily.  I fussy cut the image after completing it and nestled it on top of a white die cut panel (created with the Stitched Ovals

die) along with greenery from the Fancy Foliage Die.  I stamped my sentiment with a rich raspberry

ink on white card stock and hand cut the panel to create a banner.  I tucked a pearl spray along with a few random pearls on the edge.  

And now for my second card using Plant a Garden...

Here, I started with a brown card stock base also measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I then chose a plank like designer paper from Our Daily Bread Designs' Rustic Beauty Paper Collection. 

I elected to cut strips of the paper and adhere it to my base as if it were a true fence...  going so far as to add a z shaped brace with dimensional foam on top.  I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper (Plant a Garden) and colored it with Copics.  I lightly sponged on Memento's Olive Grove ink on the bottom and Summer Sky on top to mimic the sky.  I created the flower spray with the new Pretty Posies Die. 

I cut flower layers and leaves with white card stock and colored each with distress ink.  I spritzed them lightly with water and shaped them with a stylus and mouse pad.  I used an older die Sunburst Background Die,

to created the base for the flower "buds" you see...   

So here are the new items you see for this special mid month release...
