A Look Back at ODBD's February Release

 Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' February 1st release.  I created a tent card using Flourished Happy Easter stamp, new Little Lamb Die and coordinating older release Sheep Single Stamp.  I also used some of the new designer papers from the new Easter Card Paper Collection and Pastel Paper Collections. Be sure to visit the ODBD Blog for even more design team inspiration.  The links are listed after today's project.

I started out with a 5.25 by 5.25 white card stock base.  I also cut another piece of card stock measuring 5 x 2.5  to create the base it would eventually rest on.  I scored the narrow side (2.5 inches) every 1/4 inch and folded to create my base.  After adding a lovely floral print and stamping my sentiment in the center (Happy Easter Flourish) I added a bit of polka dotted pattern on the outside.  I used the Double Stitched Circles Die to create my gallery along with one larger circle die to create the "frame."  I adhered the gate fold stand to the bottom inside of my card with adhesive tape and added a bit of green grass (Grass Die).  I stamped this darling little lamb (Sheep Single) on Copic compatible paper and lightly colored him.  Once I was satisfied with the coloring, I pulled out the new Little Lamb Die and cut my image out.  I created the fun flowers with white card stock and Pretty Posies Die.  After cutting, I inked each blossom with a soft purple distress ink on the edges and a bit of soft yellow inside.  I moistened each blossom layer with a water mister and worked the blossoms with my hands and a paper shaping tool to reach the desired effect.  A bit of greenery (Fancy Foliage Die) adorns the corner.  

So here are some of the items you see today...

 

Thanks again for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the ODBD Blog if you get lost along the way...  Here are my design team sisters who have some amazing projects to share.  God Bless You!

Release Day at Our Daily Bread Designs

Good morning and welcome to release day at Our Daily Bread Designs!  We have some fabulous stamps and dies to share this month, including some that coordinate with old favs!  And check out the end of today's post for information on how you can play along for a chance at an ODBD gift certificate!  First I have a few cards to share beginning with this project featuring a new stamp, two fabulous paper pads AND a fun die coordinating with an Easter stamp classic...

I started with a white card stock base and a bit of mint green DP from ODBD's Pastel Paper Pack.  A mix of patterns from ODBD's Easter Card Paper Collection are joined with a border die.  I stamped the cute lamb image on Copic compatible paper and colored him up before using the new Little Lamb Die to cut him out.  I stamped the Flourished Happy Easter sentiment with a soft lavender ink before using a few of ODBD's oval dies to cut and frame it.  A medium die cut bow created with fun polka dotted paper from ODBD's Pastel Paper Pack adds a fun touch.

So here are the new items you see...

and some old favorites...

Isn't he cute????

 Aren't those new pastel papers yummy?  Here is another project featuring some lovely plaids, patterns and polka dots AND a lovely tag...

 

I started with a soft pink card stock base and added a bit of plaid and floral DP.  For interest, I separated the layers with an edged die.  I stamped the sentiment on vellum (Many Thanks) and highlighted it with white embossing powder.  I cut the panel out with a rectangular die before nesting it over this amazing die cut egg created with the new Boho Egg Die.   A custom paper flower and leaves adorns the corner.  And the tag?  That little gem can be found in the new Easter Card Paper Collection.

So here are the new items you see...
