~ Everyone Needs a Few New Ornaments ~

Good morning and welcome to my weekly look back at new products from Our Daily Bread Designs'.  This week, I have a card featuring a few items from the October release including the Card Greetings stamp set,  Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles, Rounded Rectangles Die, Ornament Branch Die and Pine Branches Die.

I started with a white card stock base, created using the Rounded Rectangles Die.  I nested the next layer (ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2014) after cutting and embossing with the Double Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I chose this lovely scripture from the book on Luke, featured in the Card Greetings stamp set, stamping it on white card stock with a rich green ink.  I cut, embossed and inked this panel using an old favorite in my ODBD collection, Vintage Labels Die.  The new Ornament Branch Die lends itself well to shadowing.  For this project, I cut my die out first in white CS and then a layer of silver poster board.  I offset them to give a silver "shadow."  I also cut another image out in green and carefully trimmed it to fit the top branch.  The die cut ribbon (also done in silver) can be found in the Circle Ornaments die set.  I chose two shades of brown card stock to create the itty bitty Pine Cones Die.  I distressed the DP layer with a bit of white, pumice and sky shades and for a final touch added a few flat backed silver beads.  

So here are a few of the new items you see on this project...

and a few old favorites...

Thank you for visiting and as always, happy crafting!

~ From Our Family to Yours Shaker Card ~

Good morning!  Today I decided to shake things up a bit...  ** bad pun...** by posting a shaker card.  I used Our Daily Bread Designs' Noel Border Die and Christmas Note stamp set...

I used a couple of nesting dies from the Pierced Rectangles Die set to create my window and cut my acetate.  For this project, I used a plain transparency...  the kind you can pick up at your local box or office supply stores...  I stamped the sentiment with StazOn directly on the transparency and nested a few sequins between my two clear panels.  I also used a bit of DP inside to add interest...  specifically from ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2014.

Here are the October release items you see...

and a few old favorites...

Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to North Coast Creation's Latest Release

Welcome to the November Release for North Coast Creations!  We have some super cute stamps to share this month.  The designers each have special projects to share.  So let's dive right in with the first card featuring the new stamp Cactus Lights...

I started with a salmon colored base and added a white mat.  I chose a "non-traditional" pink DP from Christmas Paper Collection 2014.  I stamped, colored and fussy cut my image before nestling it on a die cut oval base (ODBD's Ovals Die & Stitched Ovals Die.)  I used a Hollyhock colored die to stamp my sentiment and cut it down to the desired size.  

So here's the set...

And for my second card I chose the new Christmas Tree Maxwell set.  I just love Moose...  I suppose that is plural???  lol

I started with Kraft card stock for my base and added a bit of mat gold matting.  For this project, I pulled out Our Daily Bread Designs' Christmas Card Collection 2015.  I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored him before sponging in a sky blue ink for the background.  I added a pit of sparkle glue to the star and ornament for fun and once dry adhered the panel (with Kraft mat) on the top of my card.  I highlighted the sentiment panel with a wooden button and bit of baker's twine for a bow.  

And here is the set...  Isn't Maxwell super cute!???

How could anyone resist that Moosie face?  OK, is moosie even a word???  lol

Be sure to visit the rest of the design team (AKA the "Coasters") and check out their creations!  Have a wonderful day!

~ Let Us Adore Him ~

Good morning!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Today, I am using several products from Our Daily Bread Designs' November Release including a new paper collection, dies and stamps!  I even pulled out some old photo corners from my scrapbooking days... (And yes, I had to knock the dust off of them...)   ;-)

 Here's a close up of the poinsettia...  I used a gold ink to emboss the leaves after die cutting...

I started with a blue card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a pink mat.  I used the largest rectangular die from the Flourished Star Pattern Die and cut my DP base with the new Christmas Paper Collection 2014.  I picked a coordinating pattern from the DP set and nested the largest patterned die from Flourished Star Pattern Die and the Splendorous Stars Die to create the "window" for my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment (Come Let Us Adore Him ) on the DP before adding the top layer with dimensional foam.  I positioned gold photo corners on each corner of the base layer and added a pink poinsettia created with ODBD's Peaceful Poinsettias Die and gold ink (embossing each leaf before removing from the die).  A few vines from the Fancy Foliage Die finish it off nicely!  I just love non-traditional Christmas colors, don't you?

Here's the products you see...

Don't forget to stop back by this week to check out all of the new projects I have...  It's almost time for a new release at North Coast Creations too!  I can't wait to show ya!  

Blessings...
